	Now, on the "[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon\|Classicsverse]]" [[Earth]], the Autobots get to work repairing the [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] base in [[Oregon]] after the recent attack by [[Overlord (G1)\|Gigatron]] and his Decepticons. [[Rad (G1)\|Rad]] and [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Metalhawk]] are inside reporting on the attack to other Autobot bases throughout the world, when alarm klaxons begin to go out. [[Kick-Off (G1)\|Kick-Off]] reports that something's in the sky, and the Autobots watch as what appears to be a [[space bridge]] portal opens. Rad tells Metalhawk to wait inside, as he prepares for whatever comes through.		Now, on the "[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon\|Classicsverse]]" [[Earth]], the Autobots get to work repairing the [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] base in [[Oregon]] after the recent attack by [[Overlord (G1)\|Gigatron]] and his Decepticons. [[Rad (G1)\|Rad]] and [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Metalhawk]] are inside reporting on the attack to other Autobot bases throughout the world, when alarm klaxons begin to go out. [[Kick-Off (G1)\|Kick-Off]] reports that something's in the sky, and the Autobots watch as what appears to be a [[space bridge]] portal opens. Rad tells Metalhawk to wait inside, as he prepares for whatever comes through.

	Outside, three strange worm creatures come through the portal and bite down on [[Sandstorm (G1)\|Sandstorm]], [[Broadside (G1)\|Broadside]], and [[Slapdash (G1)\|Slapdash]], spreading a virus that turns them into [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s. The Junkions proceed to attack their former friends, as Magnus and his forces exit through the portal. Magnus orders Wheeljack to find the [[Rarified Energon\|Rarefied Energon]] and set up their equipment, as he and the others deal with the rest of the heroic Autobots of this world. Soon, the Junkions claim [[Mainframe (G1)\|Mainframe]], [[Outback (G1)\|Outback]], and [[Rollout (G1)\|Rollout]] as well, leaving only Kick-Off and Rad. The two rush to get inside, but before they can, Rad is knocked down by a Junkion. Reacting before they can transform them as well, Rad blasts the door controls, locking it closed and saving Kick-Off. Kick-Off contacts Metalhawk, warning him of the danger outside, and heads to the armory to get some more firepower...

	Carving his way into the base, Magnus concurs with [[Tracks (SG)\|Tracks]] that the Autobots of this world are weak and pathetic. Metalhawk arrives with a group of Autobots to confront him, but Magnus rushes forward, cutting down [[Tracks (G1)\|Tracks]], [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Jazz]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Wheeljack]], and [[Warpath (G1)\|Warpath]]. Magnus stands ready to cut down Metalhawk and [[Scoop (G1)\|Scoop]] as well, but another portal opens, disgorging [[Straxus (SG)\|Straxus]], [[Octopunch (SG)\|Octopunch]], [[Soundwave (SG)\|Soundwave]], and Magnus' nemesis [[Treadshot (SG)\|Treadshot]]. Treadshot confronts Magnus as the others take down the rest of the evil Autobots, but Magnus uses the stolen [[Terminus Blade]] to produce a blinding light, allowing him and the others to escape. Metalhawk demands for an explanation from the newcomers; Soundwave explains that they are from a mirror universe where the Autobots are good and the Decepticons are evil, and that they learned of this universe when [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Cliffjumper]] was accidentally transported to theirs. Treadshot explains that Magnus was once the most trusted general of his world's Optimus Prime, only to be mutilated and imprisoned when he attempted a coup. Allying with the rogue [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus Prime]], Magnus obtained a new body, and opened a portal to this world. The Decepticons soon discovered this portal, and with Soundwave's abilities and some background information from Cliffjumper, they were able to track Magnus down. Treadshot and Metalhawk agree to team up, splitting up their forces; Octopunch and Scoop head off to find Wheeljack; Straxus, Soundwave, Metalhawk, and Kick-Off fight the Junkion horde; and Treadshot goes to track down Magnus. All the while, these newcomers are observed by [[Spinister (G1)\|Spinister]], and soon reports back to Gigatron. Seeing an opportunity, Gigatron sends [[Skullgrin]] and [[Octopunch (G1)\|Octopunch]] to steal the Rarefied Energon while the Autobots are distracted...

	In the Rarefied Energon vaults, Wheeljack begins funneling up its energy to the surface, setting up a force field to prevent anyone from tampering with his work. After Wheeljack teleports back to Magnus, Skullgrin and the evil Octopunch rise out of the murky depths. Unfortunately for them, Scoop and the good Octopunch have also entered the vaults, and the four duke it out. Octopunch fights his evil counterpart, not realizing who he is, while Skullgrin attempts to take on Scoop, who disables both him and his [[Pretender]] shell. While Octopunch continues his fight, Scoop has [[Holepunch (G1)\|Holepunch]] and [[Tracer (Targetmaster)\|Tracer]] transform to help disable the machines, much to the [[Nebulan]]s chagrin.

	Topside, Wheeljack finishes the final steps on his device. Treadshot confronts Magnus, but he's to late to stop him, as Magnus pushes the Terminus Blade into the machine. The reaction between the sword's power and the rarefied energon unleashes a massive rift in space time, causing havoc around the world. Autobots stationed in [[Japan]] and [[Canada]] help with rescue and evacuation attempts, while in [[South America]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|Fortress Maximus]] gathers everyone he can on board. Underground, Octopunch knocks out his counterpart after finally realizing who it is, and attempts to help Scoop disable the shield. Unable to penetrate it, the two head back up, where Magnus fights both Treadshot and Kick-Off. The latter assumes that Magnus wants to bring more of his kind here with the rift, but Magnus proclaims he is doing quite the opposite; he's bring this world over into his universe! Hearing this, Soundwave rushes to the chamber where Wheeljack works. Before he can reach it, the Junkions surround him, bring him to his knees. Fortunately for him, an unlikely rescuer blasts them back; Gigatron and his Decepticons! Unwilling to let invaders from a dimension conquer a world that should belong to him, Gigatron defends Soundwave, allowing him to reach the chamber. Reading the energy output charts, Soundwave realizes there's no way to shut the portal down without harming the planet more. Wheeljack sneaks up on Soundwave as he's distracted, but Octopunch arrives just in time to save his friend, and when he mentions Wheeljack's force field, Soundwave gets an idea, relaying it to Treadshot. Unfortunately, Magnus realizes that he's stalling, and pushes forth to Soundwave's position. Luckily, Gigatron and Metalhawk's firepower combined manages to stop Magnus, allowing Soundwave to finish putting up a global forcefield. Magnus, however, laughs; it was ''never'' his intention to destroy Earth, at least not fully. He and his Autobots retreat, and the remaining Cybertronians gather. As they leave their universe behind, they watch as the Rarefied Energon's power destroyed their home dimension, leaving the Earth a relic of a dead universe. As they begin to orbit the native [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], the Autobots and Decepticons fear that this is only the beginning. Straxus, however, encourages them with his eloquent words, proclaiming that as long as they shall live, the battle against the darkness will never end.
