	As Jhiaxus surveys the ongoing battle, [[Hubcap (MW)\|Hubcap]] observes how resistance has managed to confine their forces to [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] and suggests having [[Prowl (MW)\|Prowl]] formulate a new strategy. Jhiaxus instructs him to wait, intrigued by a series of unexpected scenes that play out before him: [[Bitstream (G1)\|Bitstream]] helping get an injured [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] to safety; [[Mirage (G1)\|Mirage]] and [[Electro]] facing a platoon of [[Skywarp drone]]s when their attempt to ambush [[Skywarp (MW)\|Skywarp]] fails, only for them to be aided by a team of Decepticons, including [[Oilmaster]], grown to gigantic size by [[Magnificus (G1)\|Magnificus]]'s macroscope; and Strika coming to Octane's rescue against some [[Thundercracker drone]]s, convincing the Decepticon to join the fight at last. Jhiaxus's observations are interrupted as Bravo Team bursts from a nearby vent, and Serpentor engages him directly. Jhiaxus fells Serpentor with a single swipe, but as he looms over the fallen Decepticon, impressed by his Earth-made body, Serpentor releases his partners [[Gob]] and [[Zad]], who merge into his [[Serpent Scepter]], with which he impales Jhiaxus. Just then, Nacelle belatedly emerges from the vent and finds himself staring down the barrel of Hubcap's gun, but before the clone can pull the trigger, the wounded Jhiaxus staggers over and orders him to lower his weapon. Although he has not accomplished his goal through the means he ''intended'', Jhiaxus explains, he has nonetheless achieved success: the Autobots and Decepticons have cast aside their animosity, as he always desired, and banded together to fight him. Satisfied with this achievement, Jhiaxus surrenders... but just as Serpentor cuffs him, Megaplex charges onto the scene and impales Jhiaxus on his blades, slaying him. Megaplex rants that the Decepticons can now take Cybertron for their own once again, but the Decepticons of Bravo Team prove they have no desire for that to be their future as they subdue him.

	One week later, at Autobot City on Earth, the assembled representatives of the ~~Auobots~~, Decepticons, and Jhiaxus's clones signed a [[Pax Cybertronia\|peace treaty]] to formally declare the end of the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]]—though [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] is unsure what the presently-offline [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Galvatron]] will think of things when he recovers.

	Somewhere else, the [[Predacon (G1)\|Predacons]], having no tolerance for this talk of peace, have joined up with [[Sky-Byte (RID)\|Sky-Byte]] and recovered a selection of clone chambers from Jhiaxus's secondary lab. As they begin the process of thawing out the 'bots who will form their [[Predacon (BW)\|new army]], [[Tantrum (G1)\|Tantrum]] observes four pods that are different from the rest.

Megaplex rants that the Decepticons can now take Cybertron for their own once again, but the Decepticons of Bravo Team prove they have no desire for that to be their future as they subdue him.		As Jhiaxus surveys the ongoing battle, [[Hubcap (MW)\|Hubcap]] observes how resistance has managed to confine their forces to [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] and suggests having [[Prowl (MW)\|Prowl]] formulate a new strategy. Jhiaxus instructs him to wait, intrigued by a series of unexpected scenes that play out before him: [[Bitstream (G1)\|Bitstream]] helping get an injured [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] to safety; [[Mirage (G1)\|Mirage]] and [[Electro]] facing a platoon of [[Skywarp drone]]s when their attempt to ambush [[Skywarp (MW)\|Skywarp]] fails, only for them to be aided by a team of Decepticons, including [[Oilmaster]], grown to gigantic size by [[Magnificus (G1)\|Magnificus]]'s macroscope; and Strika coming to Octane's rescue against some [[Thundercracker drone]]s, convincing the Decepticon to join the fight at last. Jhiaxus's observations are interrupted as Bravo Team bursts from a nearby vent, and Serpentor engages him directly. Jhiaxus fells Serpentor with a single swipe, but as he looms over the fallen Decepticon, impressed by his Earth-made body, Serpentor releases his partners [[Gob]] and [[Zad]], who merge into his [[Serpent Scepter]], with which he impales Jhiaxus. Just then, Nacelle belatedly emerges from the vent and finds himself staring down the barrel of Hubcap's gun, but before the clone can pull the trigger, the wounded Jhiaxus staggers over and orders him to lower his weapon. Although he has not accomplished his goal through the means he ''intended'', Jhiaxus explains, he has nonetheless achieved success: the Autobots and Decepticons have cast aside their animosity, as he always desired, and banded together to fight him. Satisfied with this achievement, Jhiaxus surrenders... but just as Serpentor cuffs him, Megaplex charges onto the scene and impales Jhiaxus on his blades, slaying him. Megaplex rants that the Decepticons can now take Cybertron for their own once again, but the Decepticons of Bravo Team prove they have no desire for that to be their future as they subdue him.

	One week later, at Autobot City on Earth, the assembled representatives of the ~~Auobots~~, Decepticons, and Jhiaxus's clones signed a [[Pax Cybertronia\|peace treaty]] to formally declare the end of the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]]—though [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] is unsure what the presently-offline [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Galvatron]] will think of things when he recovers. Obsidian and Strika have disappeared, not wanting their presence to remind the public of the war, something that [[Clampdown (G1)\|Clamp Down]] is not unhappy about.

	Somewhere else, the [[Predacon (G1)\|Predacons]], having no tolerance for this talk of peace, have joined up with [[Sky-Byte (RID)\|Sky-Byte]] and recovered a selection of clone chambers from Jhiaxus's secondary lab.
