	The Covenant convene in a [[zemstvo]] to discuss the Chronarchitect's foreboding words. They recall that the last time the Chronarchitect appeared was in [[2005]], when [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] died and the ownership of the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Creation Matrix]] was in flux. For that event, they had readied for war, but the Matrix passed to [[Hot Rod]], who used it to destroy [[Unicron]] and the Covenant went unneeded. Now, they again worry of the [[Grand Plan]] of their creator, [[Primus]], and the impending Point Omega.		The Covenant convene in a [[zemstvo]] to discuss the Chronarchitect's foreboding words.

			*Back in "[[Visitations]]", Antagony said she was looking for Megatron and wanted the plot device (really) of the story. While we can assume she was lying about her mission (Megatron said even back then that he wondered about her "true mission"), her interest in the artifact is completely glossed over.
	*The Chronarchitect is one of "the old gods", harkening back to "[[The Legacy of Unicron!]]", ''[[Transformers: The Facts]]'', and "[[Primal Scream (issue)\|Primal Scream]]" where Unicron and Primus are two of a larger pantheon. Primus is also called "last of the Light Gods". Unfortunately "Convenant" also uses the origin from "[[The Void! (US)\|The Void!]]" where Unicron and Primus are the only godlike beings (and Unicron ate all the ones from his old old, destroyed universe), and "this fragile new universe was not meant to contain beings as powerful and elemental as Unicron and Primus".

+*Comic reprints had not yet been done and it was years since Furman had written his old stories, so it's possible that the alternate "Surrender!" flashback, Swoop facing Straxus et al were mistakes and he'd remembered old issues wrong.
