'''The Autobot/Decepticon battle for Energon continues on a distant planet called... Eternia?'''

==Plot==
[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]–a world at war, torn apart by the Autobots and Decepticons in their battle for [[Energon]]. The Autobots flee the planet–and the Decepticons' plans for their eradication–on the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', which jettisons their historial archives into space to try and warn the universe about their fearsome enemies.

The capsule crashes on the distant planet of [[Eternia]], where it is investigated by [[Man-At-Arms]]. He discovers that it holographically tells the history of the Autobots, related by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. With their society seeming even more technologically advanced than that of Eternia, Man-At-Arms' ally [[Sorceress]] encourages him to download the pod's data.

Man-At-Arms wasn't the first to reach the pod, and he finds himself attacked by [[Skeletor]], who has already taken advantage of the Cybertronians' data to arm himself with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] Armor and a fearsome [[Havok Cannon]]. Man-At-Arms is rescued by intervention from [[He-Man]], but the scantily-clad hero feels the power of [[Castle Grayskull]] draining from him into Skeletor's cannon. Man-At-Arms hits back with his own blast, and Skeletor is forced to flee, promising to return and take the power of Energon.

Later, in his lab, Man-At-Arms has researched the Autobots' data on Energon and discovered its similar energy readings to the power of Castle Grayskull. With himself and He-Man on the back foot compared to Skeletor's new equipment, Man-At-Arms develops new armor with the power of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and Optimus Prime.

In his lair at [[Snake Mountain]], Skeletor offers an alliance to the otherworldly [[Scare Glow|Scareglow]]. With the Energon of Castle Grayskull, Skeletor can rule Eternia, sending its people's souls to Scareglow's domain of [[Subternia]]! Scareglow accepts these terms, and Skeletor imbues him with the power of the most dangerous Decepticon soldier... the treacherous air commander [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]...

"This new Autobots Armor should give us a fighting chance."<br>
"You never cease to amaze me, Duncan. Now let's roll out!"
:— '''Man-At-Arms''' and '''He-Man''' suit up.

"Come forth anew, Scareglow. Together we shall reforge the entire universe!"<br>
"Whatever you say, oh mighty Skeletor."
:— '''Skeletor''' equips '''Scareglow''' with the power (and backtalk) of Starscream.

===Continuity notes===

===Transformers references===
*Skeletor stands over Man-At-Arms [[:File:TFTM Ironhide dies.jpg|much like]] Megatron does over [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

===Real-world references===

===Artwork and technical errors===
*A caption starting with "Meanwhile" is used to transition into a scene that takes place after some time has passed.
*"Megatron's nemesis is Optimus Prime and the Autobots" says Man-At-Arms; so Megatron's ''singular'' nemesis is a number of ''plural'' Autobots.
*"This new Autobots Armor" is an awkward phrase, but a probably intentional one we have to grin and bear with ([[trademark]] reasons, we expect).
*Scare Glow's name is written as "Scareglow".

===Continuity errors===
*The historical archive crashes within walking distance of Castle Grayskull, but it's Skeletor who gets there first. Sure!

===Trivia===
*Hasbro and Mattel posted an [https://www.instagram.com/p/DOyi0bmkXlZ/ Instagram Collab] featuring a motion comic adaptation of this story. The dialogue and captions are heavily abridged; key changes see Eternia referred to as a "distant planet" rather than the comic's curious "first planet", and the name of Skeletor's weapon rendered as "havoc cannon".
