	* The president states that it has been "months" since the events of "All Hail Optimus", in which Optimus "declared dominion" (as she puts it) over the Earth, as seen in ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise\|The Transformers]]'' [[Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion\|#49]]-[[All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights\|55]]. This story arc features the setup for the Transformers' status quo as ''Revolution'' begins, including Optimus Prime's Autobots allying with Soundwave and his peaceful Decepticons, and the establishment of Autobot City in Monument Valley. Rom's [[Field Test\|''Revolution'' one-shot]] (released on the same day as this issue) offers the more specific timeframe of six months between those earlier events in Monument Valley and the start of this crossover.		* The president states that it has been "months" since the events of "All Hail Optimus", in which Optimus "declared dominion" (as she puts it) over the Earth, as seen in ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise\|The Transformers]]'' [[Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion\|#49]]-[[All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights\|55]].

None of the other characters in this story know it, but readers of Rom's comic book will be aware that he's not indiscriminately slaughtering; in his one-shot, he learned that Colton was secretly a [[Dire Wraith]], one of the evil shape-shifting alien wizards who are Rom's sworn enemy, and who have been in hiding among the human race for many years. Colton clearly recognizes Rom and orders everyone to focus their fire on him, tipping his hand. If Rom has killed them, that means that Red Zone, Hi-Tech, and Wreckage were all Wraiths too, and we know from Rom's book that they are not the only ones in the Joe ranks; Joe member [[Countdown (G.I.

The Wraiths clearly have an interest in Ore-13, and are shown to have some in their possession in ''ROM: Revolution''.		* Rom's appearance in this issue flows directly out of his own [[Field Test\|''Revolution'' tie-in one-shot]].

	In the skies over [[Mount Olympus]], [[Greece]], British super-agent Ian Noble, the [[Action Man]], and fellow operative [[Terrence Salmons]] arrive in response to a distress beacon. While Salmons remains at their aircraft's controls, Ian flies down to the mountain in a wingsuit, where he discovers a crevice packed with [[Ore-13]]. Ian finds a slew of bodies impaled on the crystals, and the sender of the beacon: the fatally wounded ex-[[Special Air Service\|S.A.S.]]-officer-turned-mercenary, [[Big Ben]]. Ben weakly explains that he and his team were killed by a squad of mysterious covert agents they had tracked to the mountain, who were attempting to mine the Ore-13. He has only one clue as to their identities: a set of U.S. military dog tags taken from one of them, issued by Ben's old team, [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]]. Suddenly, the Ore-13 begins to surge with energy, and Salmons is forced to reel Action Man's skyhook back in, pulling him out of the crevice. With the last of his strength, Big Ben urges Ian to alert the authorities to the importance of the crystals, then bids farewell to a picture of his daughter, before the Ore-13 detonates with nuclear force and Mount Olympus is left a smoking crater.

The President urges Colton to take action against the Transformers, and Colton's second-in-command [[Scarlett]] agrees: it's time to take the fight to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]].

	At [[Autobot City (G1)\|Autobot City]] in [[Monument Valley]], Optimus Prime discusses the explosion on Olympus with [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] and the recently-arrived [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]]. Prime's reason for concern is twofold: firstly, Autobot City itself is sitting on a huge Ore-13 deposit and would be wiped out in the event of a second explosion, but secondly, and of greater sociopolitical concern, Optimus knows humanity is sure to blame his team for the destruction in Greece. With most of the [[Autobot]]s spread around the world on humanitarian missions, Optimus contacts [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] to recall him from an assignment in [[Germany]]. Kup has suspicions of his own: could the explosion have been a frame-up by humans as a way to convince the Transformers to leave [[Earth]]?

With most of the [[Autobot]]s spread around the world on humanitarian missions, Optimus contacts [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] to recall him from an assignment in [[Germany]].
