	Outside the Autobot [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] Base in [[Oregon]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Cliffjumper]] confronts the unfamiliar GoBots, interrupting their fight with [[Stepper (SG)\|Stepper]]. [[Treds]], still shaken by the battle with Stepper, tries to explain that they've come to ask for the Autobots help, but the ever-suspicious Cliffjumper doesn't believe them, and [[BuggyMan]]'s attempts to "help" do nothing but make Cliffjumper even more paranoid. [[Small Foot]] steps in and explains that her people are in great danger, and Cliffjumper is prepared to brush her off, but suddenly receives a transmission from [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Metalhawk]], who requests for Cliffjumper to bring the GoBots and Stepper in, much to the small Autobot's surprise.		Outside the Autobot [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] Base in [[Oregon]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Cliffjumper]] confronts the unfamiliar GoBots, interrupting their fight with [[Stepper (SG)\|Stepper]].

[[Small Foot]] steps in and explains that her people are in great danger, and Cliffjumper is prepared to brush her off, but suddenly receives a transmission from [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Metalhawk]], who requests for Cliffjumper to bring the GoBots and Stepper in, much to the small Autobot's surprise.

	Cliffjumper leads the GoBots through Ironworks, currently undergoing repairs, to the conference room in the base's core. Inside, Autobot commander Metalhawk, a strange, human-like [[Pretender]], greets the five, apologizing for the danger they encountered while approaching the base, explaining that the past few months have been quite tumultuous. Treds, finally shaken from his stupor, thanks Metalhawk for the welcome, but quickly demands to know where the rest of their team is, believing that Metalhawk might of had them imprisoned. Thankfully, this turns out to not be the case; Metalhawk has [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Wheeljack]] escort [[Path Finder]], [[Man-O-War]], and [[Bad Boy]] in. The GoBots are relieved to see that the others are alright; Man-O-War once again tries to dig at Treds, chastising him for letting the others get injured, but Treds brushes him off, and asks why they didn't call for them. Metalhawk apologizes once more, explaining that he suggested that Path Finder maintain radio silence in case of danger. Small Foot thanks him for his help, and Metalhawk promises that he will do all he can to help with their mission...but first, he would like to talk to their other, hidden guest. Small Foot watches as the entity she encountered earlier once again enters the room, making a form for itself: the diminutive yet powerful [[Solarbot]], ever so slightly drained by the fight from earlier. Metalhawk greets Solarbot, having familiarized himself with the information provided on the strange being by [[Soundwave (SG)\|Soundwave]]. Solarbot explains that he, too, has come here to save his world; still receiving information from his homeworld thanks to his light-based communication, Solarbot has become aware of the [[Unicron\|entity]] draining the energy of his home star. Interfacing with Soundwave, he used the Decepticon's communications network to find the GoBots, and upon interfacing with Small Foot, found through her nightmares that the same entity was draining [[Gobotron\|GoBotron]]. Treds realizes that whatever is affecting their homeworlds, both of them are looking for something that can stop it. Wheeljack, having listened to the conversation, chimes in; he explains that his homeworld, the "[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon\|Classicsverse]]", was almost entirely destroyed by the [[Ultra Magnus (SG)\|Ultra Magnus]] of this universe by causing a chain reaction in the [[Rarified Energon]], destabilizing their whole reality. Wheeljack theorizes that the universes from which the GoBots and the Solarbot come from "orbited" the Classicsverse, and with the Classicsverse destroyed, their worlds have been destabilized as a result, allowing the unknown entity to drain their energy. Path Finder asks about the Rarified Energon, and Wheeljack explains that they know very little about it; as far as they can tell, it helps stabilize their universe, and possibly more, and they've had to keep the small amount they have out of both evil Decepticon and Autobot hands, as they cannot make it themselves. Solarbot, undeterred, suggests that the Autobots could use their technology to stabilize the Rarified Energon across the world and their universes; Wheeljack, fascinating, believes it would be possibly, but they would need a supercomputer far beyond what they have here at Ironworks to affect it across space and time. Reminded of an earlier adventure down in [[South America]], Cliffjumper speaks up, explaining that he knows where they could find one...

Still, he shouldn't be for long; with the destruction of Nebulon, a beacon in his body has begun going off, alerting his [[Drift (SG)\|real partner]] to his location...but his thoughts are distracted when his cell begins rumbling. An interdimensional portal sucks Stepper up, sending him across the multiverse, where he finds himself in a [[Axiom Nexus\|strange city]] inhabited by millions of different robots, organics, and more...

	* The massive supercomputer sleeping underneath the Earth's surface goes unnamed this chapter, but it is very obvious that it is the Caretaker, a supercomputer created by [[Vector Sigma]] to assist [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]] in guarding the Rarified Energon, seen way back in the "[[Crossing Over]]" storyline that introduced the "Classicsverse." Cliffjumper encountered it in that storyline, where it sent Breakaway to Axiom Nexus along with [[Skyfall (Cybertron)\|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)\|Landquake]], while Cliffjumper was sent to the "Shatteredverse." It's location isn't specifically pointed out in this story either, only said to span a global distance, but it was shown to be somewhere in South America. Its abilities are limited thanks to the dimensional instability caused by ''Shattered Glass'' Ultra Magnus in "[[Invasion (issue)\|Invasion]]".		* The massive supercomputer sleeping underneath the Earth's surface goes unnamed this chapter, but it is very obvious that it is the Caretaker, a supercomputer created by [[Vector Sigma]] to assist [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]] in guarding the Rarified Energon, seen way back in the "[[Crossing Over]]" storyline that introduced the "Classicsverse."

Its attention is drawn to a team of [[G1 GoBots\|GoBots]] attempting to find a way to save their homeworld, and while its incredibly advanced processors have had their abilities clouded by the recent dimensional instability, it sees the paths that lie before these brave adventurers, and the sacrifices they will need to make...

	Outside the Autobot [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks]] Base in [[Oregon]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Cliffjumper]] confronts the unfamiliar GoBots, interrupting their fight with [[Stepper (SG)\|Stepper]]. [[Treds]], still shaken by the battle with Stepper, tries to explain that they've come to ask for the Autobots help, but the ever-suspicious Cliffjumper doesn't believe them, and [[~~BuggyMan\|~~BuggyMan]]'s attempts to "help" do nothing but make Cliffjumper even more paranoid. [[Small Foot]] steps in and explains that her people are in great danger, and Cliffjumper is prepared to brush her off, but suddenly receives a transmission from [[Metalhawk (~~Masterforce~~)\|Metalhawk]], who requests for Cliffjumper to bring the GoBots and Stepper in, much to the small Autobot's surprise.

	Cliffjumper leads the GoBots through Ironworks, currently undergoing repairs, to the conference room in the base's core. Inside, Autobot commander Metalhawk, a strange, human-like [[Pretender]], greets the five, apologizing for the danger they encountered while approaching the base, explaining that the past few months have been quite tumultuous. Treds, finally shaken from his stupor, thanks Metalhawk for the welcome, but quickly demands to know where the rest of their team is, believing that Metalhawk might of had them imprisoned. Thankfully, this turns out to not be the case; Metalhawk has [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Wheeljack]] escort [[Path Finder]], [[Man-O-War]], and [[Bad Boy]] in. The GoBots are relieved to see that the others are alright; Man-O-War once again tries to dig at Treds, chastising him for letting the others get injured, but Treds brushes him off, and asks why they didn't call for them. Metalhawk apologizes once more, explaining that he suggested that Path Finder maintain radio silence in case of danger. Small Foot thanks him for his help, and Metalhawk promises that he will do all he can to help with their mission...but first, he would like to talk to their other, hidden guest. Small Foot watches as the entity she encountered earlier once again enters the room, making a form for itself: the diminutive yet powerful [[Solarbot]], ever so slightly drained by the fight from earlier. Metalhawk greets Solarbot, having familiarized himself with the information provided on the strange being by [[Soundwave (SG)\|Soundwave]]. Solarbot explains that he, too, has come here to save his world; still receiving information from his homeworld thanks to his light-based communication, Solarbot has become aware of the [[Unicron\|entity]] draining the energy of his home star. Interfacing with Soundwave, he used the Decepticon's communications network to find the GoBots, and upon interfacing with Small Foot, found through her nightmares that the same entity was draining [[Gobotron\|GoBotron]]. Treds realizes that whatever is affecting their homeworlds, both of them are looking for something that can stop it. Wheeljack, having listened to the conversation, chimes in; he explains that his homeworld, the "[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon\|Classicsverse]]", was almost entirely destroyed by the [[Ultra Magnus (SG)\|Ultra Magnus]] of this universe by causing a chain reaction in the [[Rarified Energon]], destabilizing their whole reality. Wheeljack theorizes that the universes from which the GoBots and the Solarbot come from "orbited" the Classicsverse, and with the Classicsverse destroyed, their worlds have been destabilized as a result, allowing the unknown entity to drain their energy. Path Finder asks about the Rarified Energon, and Wheeljack explains that they know very little about it; as far as they can tell, it helps stabilize their universe, and possibly more, and they've had to keep the small amount they have out of both evil Decepticon and Autobot hands, as they cannot make it themselves. Solarbot, undeterred, suggests that the Autobots could use their technology to stabilize the Rarified Energon across the world and their universes; Wheeljack, fascinating, believes it would be possibly, but they would need a supercomputer far beyond what they have here at Ironworks to affect it across space and time. Reminded of an earlier adventure down in [[South America]], Cliffjumper speaks up, explaining that he knows where they could find one...
