'''Threats call for Ultra Magnus to be brought back to life and to the Legends World.'''

==Synopsis==
===Resurrection Chapter===
In the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2]] days of the [[G1 World]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Battle Convoy]] proposes a plan to revive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], killed [[Ultra Magnus Dies!!|years earlier]], to aid in the battle with [[Galvatron II]]. To the amazement of the new Generation 2 Autobots, he reveals that the spirit of [[Alpha Trion]], integrated with the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], can find Magnus's own spirit within the Matrix and recover it using the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]]. Locating Magnus, Trion tells him now is not the time to be one of the guardians of the Matrix's wisdom as his strength is still to fight for justice. Having felt from the spirit world that Optimus Prime is in trouble, Magnus takes Trion into his chest, allowing the sage to use his Matrix-granted powers to bring them both back to life. Unfortunately Ultra Magnus reawakens exactly where his body was buried—in a coffin at the bottom of ocean. He surfaces soaking wet and angry, demanding to know whose bright idea it was to throw his body in the sea and scaring the Autobot Headmasters responsible.

===The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter===
Their office building having been [[LG12 Windblade|crushed]] by [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], the [[Axalon Trading Company]] employees settle for making the city-mode Transformer their new office. [[Rattrap (BW)#Legends World|Rattrap]] isn't sure who Metroplex actually ''is'', so the company's [[Alpha Trion|elderly janitor]] chimes in to explain he's a giant Autobot introduced in the "[[Scramble City: Mobilization]]" OVA in which he fought his rival [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Unfortunately his [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]] was damaged in the duel, preventing him from transforming fully when [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] was later attacked during the [[Unicron War]]. Metroplex was later gravely injured in battle with a new enemy, [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], and had to be rebuilt into his current form. In an aside, the janitor also explains that [[Metrobase (G1)|Metrobase]], who guarded the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] before its reactivation, was Metroplex's kin, as there are many like them. His knowledge shocks Rattrap and even [[Rhinox (BW)#Legends World|Rhinox]] admits he didn't know all that, causing the old man to let slip that he knows all this because he's from "the other world". The next day he finds the employees are scared of him, having assumed he meant the world of the dead, and he questions if they've ever heard of parallel universes before.

===The Autumn Megatron Festival Chapter===
[[Megatron (BW)#Legends World|Legends Megatron]] invites his co-workers to a night on the town, but no one shows up other than [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|G1 Megatron]]. When they arrive at the diner they've reserved a table at, however, they find [[Megatron (Armada)|Armada Megatron]] playing with his [[Mini-Con]] toys, having used their reservation under the name "Megatron" for himself. [[Starscream (Armada)|Armada Starscream]] leaves for his night-time part-time job, which the two need to pay for living expenses and Armada Megatron's toy addiction, shocking G1 Megatron with the presence of a Starscream. The Megatrons begin drinking together and discussing their Starscreams—Armada Megatron explains that Armada Starscream was different in the world they come from but has lost his memory and is now a faithful servant, while G1 Megatron tells the story about how he killed [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|G1 Starscream]] for betraying and killing him (a story that frightens Legends Megatron). As they steadily get drunker, Armada Megatron complains how annoying it is to slowly collect Mini-Cons through purchasing, and G1 Megatron agrees that life in the [[Legends World]] is a pain and he hates running a company. They suddenly realize that they don't ''have'' to live this way—with their power combined, they can just conquer the world!
