	While sleeping on her [[recharge slab]] in her quarters in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] is woken by a knock at her door. Answering it, she is greeted by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] and [[Pyra Magna]], who have been sent by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] to discreetly request that she accompany them to [[Earth]]. Though finding the whole thing a bit suspicious, Windblade agrees and takes the [[space bridge]] with them to [[Autobot City (G1)\|Autobot City]] in [[Monument Valley]]. There, Optimus Prime explains that [[Metrotitan (G1)\|Metrotitan]], the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]] who makes up the city, refuses to speak with them, and that he needs Windblade's [[cityspeaker]] expertise to find out why.

	As their consciousnesses meet on their shared mindscape, Metrotitan is affronted by Windblade's presence, believing it to be evidence that Optimus Prime does not trust him. Windblade offers herself up as a vessel for the Titan's message, but Metrotitan explains that it is not ''he'' who has a message to pass on. In a wrenching moment of mental disorientation, Windblade is offered a vision of all her possible futures—conqueror, killer, friend, ally, and more—as her consciousness is moved across space and time to meet with he who truly wishes to speak to Optimus: [[Micronus Prime]], one of the [[Thirteen\|thirteen original Primes]], whose consciousness rests on the metaphysical border of his own self-created dimension, [[Microspace]]. Windblade is awed to be in the presence of one of the beings sanctified in [[Caminus (planet)\|Camien]] religion, and promises to pass on Micronus's message. Unfortunately, Micronus tells her, he cannot simply ''give'' her the message; she must experience it for herself...

Unfortunately, Micronus tells her, he cannot simply ''give'' her the message; she must experience it for herself...

	Windblade finds her consciousness given tangible form as she is ejected into Microspace, through the "~~{{i\|~~Entropy Cloud~~\|entropy cloud}}~~" that is ravaging the sub-atomic realm. Captured by the forces of the tyrannical [[Baron Karza]], she is brought before the Lady [[Shazraella]], leader of the ~~{{i\|~~Ministry of Defense}} and Karza's wife, for interrogation. From Shazraella, Windblade learns of both the entropy cloud and the war ravaging Microspace; Shazraella believes Windblade has some connection to the cloud, but when Windblade is unable to tell her anything about it, Shazraella tortures her, the pain even wracking her physical body back in her own universe. Windblade gives honest answers to Shazraella's questions about the Transformers and their homeworld, but chooses to omit any information about the war and fractured state of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s leadership, preferring the threat Shazraella imagines they pose to seem as united and dangerous as possible. When Shazraella is called away by her husband to deal with some conflicting intelligence reports from the front lines of combat, however, one of her handmaidens sets Windblade free, urging her to bring help to their divided world and save them from the cloud. Windblade fades away, just as the handmaiden is shot in the back for her treachery, and the face of Micronus appears before her again...

	Windblade awakens back in Metrotitan, and immediately tells everything she has seen and heard to Optimus. Micronus has told her that [[Ore-13]] is the key to saving Microspace, but Optimus refuses to take action, immediately skeptical of Micronus's words given what he knows of the self-serving and corrupt lineage of the Primes. Windblade implores him to reconsider—after all, is she... are they ''all''... not following Optimus despite his extreme actions because he is a Prime, a divine being who works only for good? Optimus gently but firmly tells her that he does not purport to be divine, and does not ask them to ''believe'' in him—rather, he asks them to understand why he does what he does, and to help him in accomplishing it. Windblade's countenance darkens as she bows and coldly promises to continue in Optimus's service. After all... she would do anything for a Prime.
