	In the present day, the ''[[Ark-7]]'' arrives in Earth orbit, only to be attacked by a barrage of missiles of highly advanced design that start burrowing their way through the ship's hull. Presuming the weapons to be of Cybertronian design but unsure of where humans could have obtained them, Prime orders the ship to pull back behind the [[Moon (moon)\|moon]]. A frustrated Prowl protests, assuming they are giving up, but Prime reveals that he has another plan in mind: he is going to take a small team down to the surface aboard [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]]. As the team heads down, their rear is covered by a rather grumpy [[Cosmos (G1)\|Cosmos]], who is unhappy to discover that the promise of building a new future that convinced him to leave the ''[[Lost Light]]'' has led only to yet more fighting.

	In the present day, the ''[[Ark-7]]'' arrives in Earth orbit, only to be attacked by a barrage of missiles of highly advanced design that start burrowing their way through the ship's hull. Presuming the weapons to be of Cybertronian design but unsure of where humans could have obtained them, Prime orders the ship to pull back behind the [[Moon (moon)\|moon]]. A frustrated Prowl protests, assuming they are giving up, but Prime reveals that he has another plan in mind: he is going to take a small team down to the surface aboard [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]]. As the team heads down, their rear is covered by a rather grumpy [[Cosmos (G1)\|Cosmos]], who is unhappy to discover that the promise of building a new future that convinced him to leave the ''[[Lost Light]]'' has led only to yet more fighting.
