	From a [[GoBots\|realm]] beyond the ken of even the [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s comes the '''G1 GoBots''' (G1ゴーボッツ ''~~G1Gōbottsu~~''), a team of cyborgs in disguise as mighty robots and mighty vehicles.

	When a mysterious cataclysm began to systematically destroy [[Gargent 984.08 Alpha\|their universe]], the [[Guardian (GoBots)\|Guardian]] and [[Renegade]] GoBot factions set aside their differences and attempted to preserve their world. After years of research, the human [[Zebediah Braxis\|Doctor B]] used his [[Dimensional Interfacer]] to trace the source of the destruction to a newly created [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon\|parallel universe]], which was "over-writing" and replacing theirs in the grand cosmic tapestry. A group of four Guardians and two Renegades had their bodies modified to match the specifications of these "[[Transformer]]s", with the intent that they be sent into this new universe in order to integrate themselves into its people, explore, and discern a means of saving their own world. When they were dispatched across the dimensions by the Interfacer, rather than wind up in their intended target universe, they were inadvertently caught in the wake of another [[Bee in the City\|group of dimensional travelers]] and arrived on [[Nexus 208.0 Epsilon\|an entirely different]] Cybertron, in the city of [[Axiom Nexus]].

	Dubbed "mechanoids of interest" due to their unconventional means of arrival, the six GoBots were subjected to lengthy interrogation, until it was eventually decided by the [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTechs]] that ran Axiom Nexus that they would take no active hand in the saving of the GoBots' universe. Additionally, the GoBots were forbidden to leave Axiom Nexus, and were subjected to extensive processing before being sent out to live in the city. During this processing, however, Renegade Bug Bite stole away, using a portable [[Astro-Beam]] that he had brought with him to teleport into the city. Working quickly, Bug Bite murdered [[Comet\|a Transformer]] and stole his money, which he used to purchase a body upgrade for himself from [[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle]], and then traded the Astro-Beam to [[Escargon]] for an off-world pass that would allow him to use one of the TransTech's dimensional gates, no questions asked. When the Astro-Beam's temporary effect wore off, he was returned to the processing centre and used the pass to travel to the group's original [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|destination universe]]. He began a plan of his own, arriving in the target universe fifteen years earlier than planned, hoping to avert the cataclysm before it began and hiding himself amongst the ranks of the Decepticons in order to work towards the destruction of [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]], having pinpointed him as the cosmic fulcrum on which the cataclysm hinged.

	Searching for both the missing Bug Bite and some means out of Axiom Nexus, the other GoBots soon stumbled into the mess the Renegade had left behind and were accused of the theft of the passes by [[Demolishor (TransTech)\|General Demolishor]] of the [[Military Police]]. Demolishor kidnapped Treds and took him to the lawless region known as the "[[Heap]]", where he intended to ransom him for the passes that he believed the other GoBots had. With no other options, the four remaining GoBots battled the general for their lives, and ultimately emerged victorious thank to the help of [[Crystal Widow]], and the legal wranglings of [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]] and [[Cheetor (TransTech)\|Commander Cheetor]]. In order to both help the GoBots in their mission and to save ''themselves'' any further trouble, Airazor and Cheetor gave the passes Airazor had previously recovered to the GoBots, allowing them to travel on to their intended universe.

	The GoBots arrived in their target universe at their allotted time, not long after Bug Bite's fifteen-year-long scheme had resulted in Megatron [[Games of Deception\|blowing his head off]]. The other GoBots materialized in front of his "corpse" shortly after [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Dreadwind]] had dragged it to safety, at which point Bug Bite's headless body stood up and fished a new head for itself out of a spare parts bin. As Bug Bite explained to his shocked companions, he had survived simply by keeping his organic brain behind his windshield, instead of his head—and that they could soon expect other GoBots to be joining them. {{storylink\|Withered Hope}}		The GoBots arrived in their target universe at their allotted time, not long after Bug Bite's fifteen-year-long scheme had resulted in Megatron [[Games of Deception\|blowing his head off]].

	Bug Bite had done a runner by the time the three reinforcements—[[BuggyMan\|the Buggyman]], [[Man-O-War\|Admiral Man-O-War]], and [[Rest-Q (GoBots)\|Rest-Q]]—arrived at their location in [[Utah]]. Man-O-War's terse, patronising personality caused friction but Path Finder kept control, determining they'd seek out local Autobots for aid.

During this processing, however, Renegade Bug Bite stole away, using a portable [[Astro-Beam]] that he had brought with him to teleport into the city. Working quickly, Bug Bite murdered [[Comet\|a Transformer]] and stole his money, which he used to purchase a body upgrade for himself from [[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle]], and then traded the Astro-Beam to [[Escargon]] for an off-world pass that would allow him to use one of the TransTech's dimensional gates, no questions asked. When the Astro-Beam's temporary effect wore off, he was returned to the processing centre and used the pass to travel to the group's original [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|destination universe]]. He began a plan of his own, arriving in the target universe fifteen years earlier than planned, hoping to avert the cataclysm before it began and hiding himself amongst the ranks of the Decepticons in order to work towards the destruction of [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]], having pinpointed him as the cosmic fulcrum on which the cataclysm hinged.

	Searching for both the missing Bug Bite and some means out of Axiom Nexus, the other GoBots soon stumbled into the mess the Renegade had left behind and were accused of the theft of the passes by [[Demolishor (TransTech)\|General Demolishor]] of the [[Military Police]]. Demolishor kidnapped Treds and took him to the lawless region known as the "[[Heap]]", where he intended to ransom him for the passes that he believed the other GoBots had. With no other options, the four remaining GoBots battled the general for their lives, and ultimately emerged victorious thank to the help of [[Crystal Widow]], and the legal wranglings of [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]] and [[Cheetor (TransTech)\|Commander Cheetor]]. In order to both help the GoBots in their mission and to save ''themselves'' any further trouble, Airazor and Cheetor gave the passes Airazor had previously recovered to the GoBots, allowing them to travel on to their intended universe.

	The GoBots arrived in their target universe at their allotted time, not long after Bug Bite's fifteen-year-long scheme had resulted in Megatron [[Games of Deception\|blowing his head off]]. The other GoBots materialized in front of his "corpse" shortly after [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Dreadwind]] had dragged it to safety, at which point Bug Bite's headless body stood up and fished a new head for itself out of a spare parts bin. As Bug Bite explained to his shocked companions, he had survived simply by keeping his organic brain behind his windshield, instead of his head—and that they could soon expect other GoBots to be joining them. {{storylink\|Withered Hope}}		The GoBots arrived in their target universe at their allotted time, not long after Bug Bite's fifteen-year-long scheme had resulted in Megatron [[Games of Deception\|blowing his head off]].

	Bug Bite had done a runner by the time the three reinforcements—[[BuggyMan\|the Buggyman]], [[Man-O-War\|Admiral Man-O-War]], and [[Rest-Q (GoBots)\|Rest-Q]]—arrived at their location in [[Utah]]. Man-O-War's terse, patronising personality caused friction but Path Finder kept control, determining they'd seek out local Autobots for aid.
