	In [[Axiom Nexus]], home of the multiversal observers known as the [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]], alarms begin to sound off. [[Prowl (TransTech)\|Prowl]] and [[Megatron (TransTech)\|Megatron]] watch as [[Rhinox (TransTech)\|Rhinox]] receives multiple reports of anomalous phenomena across the mutliverse, including, much to Rhinox's shock, the supposedly destroyed univeral stream [[Primax 1291.0 Zeta]], which he had himself logged. Rhinox traces the energy back to one solar cycle ago from [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon]], a universe with its fair share of problems. Bring the universe up on screen, the three watch as the local Overlord, known as "[[Overlord (~~Masterforce~~)\|Gigatron]]", cuts down a [[Armored Robot Hunters\|RUNT]] mech. Uninterested in the humans, Gigatron orders his Decepticon forces forward to the Autobot [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] base.

	There, Autobot guards [[Mainframe (G1)\|Mainframe]] and [[Rad (G1)\|Rad]] are taken by surprise, as Gigatron blasts a hole through the base, knocking them back. Luckily, the Autobot [[Pretender]] [[Metalhawk (~~Masterforce~~)\|Metalhawk]] appears overhead, engaging with his Decepticon rival, who reveals that he is there for the [[Rarified Energon\|Rarefied Energon]]. Back at Axiom Nexus, Rhinox explains that the rarefied energon Gigatron speaks of is unique to this universe, and that it is rumored to have a connection to the [[Thirteen]]. Megatron has him speed forward, and after a bit, spots an inter-dimensional gateway. Megatron asks Rhinox if he can detect the origin, but [[Optimus Prime (TransTech)\|Optimus Prime]], having just arrived with 5 shadowed figures, reveals it for him: [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon]], the negative polarity universe. With this event, Prime reveals that balance has been destroyed, and declares that the rules of the multiverse have changed, as the figures step forward to reveal themselves; the Primes of multiple universes!

	In [[Axiom Nexus]], home of the multiversal observers known as the [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]], alarms begin to sound off.

	There, Autobot guards [[Mainframe (G1)\|Mainframe]] and [[Rad (G1)\|Rad]] are taken by surprise, as Gigatron blasts a hole through the base, knocking them back.
