			As if the [[Autobot]]s weren't facing enough problems already, [[Megatron (Armada)\|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]]s suddenly add to their woes when they attack one of the [[Energon grid (technology)\|planetary shield]] generator towers en masse. Megatron has decided that it is time to confront the fear that has gnawed at him, to return to [[Unicron]] and to confront and destroy [[Alpha Quintesson]], and for that to happen, the shield must be deactivated so he can teleport to the planet-eater via [[space bridge]]. A response team is dispatched by [[Jetfire (Armada)\|Jetfire]], but resources are stretched dangerously thin. There is, at least, some good news amidst the chaos: [[Rad White\|Rad]]'s [[Alterenergy]] team, now with added Autobot back up in the form of [[Wing Saber (Energon)\|Wing Saber]], [[Cliffjumper (Energon)\|Cliffjumper]] and [[Rodimus (Energon)\|Rodimus]], have tracked down [[Demolishor (Armada)\|Demolishor]] and the captive [[Kicker Jones\|Kicker]] in Mexico.

	With his grand plan now well in motion, Alpha Quintesson triggers the [[Initiator]], which opens a portal to a parallel universe in skies above [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] and unleashes a mass of [[Quintesson]] warships that lay siege to the planet. This task done, Alpha Quintesson then prepares the satellite that will link the Energon cores of Cybertron and the parallel-universe [[Quintessa]], putting the Quintessons in complete control of Cybertron and allowing Alpha Quintesson to fulfill his long-held dream: the destruction of Unicron! Kicker is to be a vital component in this satellite, his unique physiology taking the place of the "[[Conduit (Energon)\|Conduit]]" that was destroyed ages ago. But when Alpha Quintesson contacts Demolishor to have Kicker sent to him over the space bridge... Kicker is gone! While Demolishor has been held at bay by Rad's team, Rad himself has freed Kicker from the Energon-counteracting forcefield he was trapped in, and he's now on the run. And as if things couldn't go worse for the multi-faced mastermind, Megatron suddenly appears before him, having teleported into Unicron when the planetary shield went down. But Megatron had been unaware of how close Unicron was to restoration, and before he can finish Alpha Quintesson off, he realizes with horror... ''Unicron lives!''
