'''With Cybertron freed from Shockwave's control, events in the rest of the universe gather pace, and more of Cybertron's mysterious past is revealed.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Superion dreamwave.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Worst... dentists... ever!]]

A collective of seemingly all-knowing entities monitor events and ongoings in the universe.

[[Unicron|A monstrous predator]] travels though space, reawakened and hungry for nourishment, consuming everything on course to [[Earth]]. After the massive mechanical menace massacres the planet [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]], it recycles the materials to create a new soldier: [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]].

An earlier wave of minions, having spread around the universe, had entered a state of hibernation, while the Alpha Drone, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], found its way to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. It was Scourge who reactivated [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], and Scourge was captured while attempting to save Shockwave from a pack of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]].

Scourge currently rests on [[Earth]], having been discovered by [[human]]s, whom have also recovered the remains of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. On Cybertron, the situation has quickly and dramatically changed as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] dispose of Shockwave.

On [[Quintessa]], protected by [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] and [[Female Autobots|suspiciously feminine looking robots]], the narrators are revealed to be the [[Quintesson]]s, who, for unknown reasons, are angry at [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].

On the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]], [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] recovers [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] bodies for the repaired Megatron.

==Notes==
* The letters column of [[Black Sunshine|issue #2]] mentioned that issue #0 will never be reprinted, and, to date, that statement is true - although this has a lot to do with [[IDW Publishing]]'s reluctance to reprint even completed arcs of those series still ongoing when Dreamwave folded due to the bankrupt company's failure to pay creators working on them, meaning ''none'' of the series has been collected!
* The destruction of Lithone at the start of the issue is similar to its fate at the start of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', however it is unknown if there were any survivors in this continuity.
* Shockwave's encounter with Scourge was first glimpsed in "[[Cold War (issue)|Cold War]]".
* The Aerialbots (in [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] form) crashed into a nuclear missile in ''[[Prime Directive]]'', while [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] was last seen falling into the water after being blasted in the face by Prime. It turns out, he's not waterproof. Despite ''totally being waterproof.''
**However, the [[Keepers Trilogy]] revealed Superion's remains to have been collected and taken into custody by [[Hugo Fortuna]], while Devastator, in stasis lock, had been found floating in outer space and brought back to Earth by the secret U.S. government starship ''[[Bounty]]''.
* Wreck-Gar is singing a popular song from [[wikipedia:Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937_film)|''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'']] and he later quotes [[wikipedia:Ricky Ricardo|Ricky Ricardo]]. This is the first known example in ''Transformers'' canon of Megatron being referred to as "Lucy".
* The bodies which Wreck-Gar collects are likely leftover drones from the [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]].
* The "[[Wavelengths]]" page has an article from the desk of [[Alan Wang]].
* Reader mail was answered in the "Prime Transmissions" section by writer [[Adam Patyk]] and also included a piece of fan-art from [[Frank Milkovich]].
