	Some time has passed since the defeat of [[Unicron]] and the return of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Megatron]] and his [[Decepticon]] army from beyond time. Alas, the goal that [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Battle Ravage]] had sought to achieve by altering history had indeed come to pass: the weakened and battle-weary Autobots have been overcome by Megatron's fighting-fit forces, and [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] has fallen to Decepticon control. Worse still, on [[Earth]], [[Doctor Arkeville]]'s creation [[Nemesis Prime (G1)\|Nemesis Prime]] is scheming behind the scenes. Although times are hard for the Autobots, the knowledge that the fabled "[[Alternity (species)\|Alternity]]" would emerge in the future from their struggles gives them hope.

	[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] summons [[Prowl II\|Prowl]] and the rest of his advisors for a tactical meeting, during which he reveals that Autobot scientists have managed to recover some of Battle Ravage's data on the events of the future, despite the Decepticon's attempt to delete it when he was captured. From the data, the Autobots have learned of an [[large switch\|ancient device]] hidden in the depths of Cybertron that will deactivate all the Transformers, and they resolve to trigger it, despite the fact that they will be shut down as well. For the Autobots, ending the war is the most important thing, but hopefully, their human allies will be able to restore them afterwards.

	The homesick [[Mirage (G1)~~/Generation 1 cartoon continuity~~\|Mirage]] volunteers for the dangerous one-man mission to infiltrate the Decepticon-controlled Cybertron and activate the machine. To accomplish this feat, he transfers into one of the [[Binaltech (technology)\|Binaltech]] bodies that were developed with the intention of recreating the abilities of his [[power chip rectifier]]; specifically, the body that he adopts for this mission was the result of a particularly anomalous experiment that not only succeeded in replicating his invisibility power, but was incapable of ''becoming visible''. As Mirage ventures into Cybertron's catacombs, [[Tracks (G1)\|Tracks]], four [[Smokescreen (G1)\|Smokescreen]] [[Genetronic Translink System\|GT System]] units and a human crew stand by in a camouflaged ship half a light year away from the planet, ready to cause a distraction if Mirage's cover is blown.

	Meanwhile, Megatron and the Decepticons launch an attack on the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Mars (planet)\|Mars]]. Into the midst of the firefight steps Nemesis Prime, who announces that Earth's solar system belongs to him, and that he will not allow Megatron to have it. Megatron is disgusted that a mere Earth-made machine dares to wear the Decepticon [[insignia]], and the two lock in battle.

	Back on Cybertron, Mirage successfully locates the device, avoiding the traps set by Battle Ravage. With one final rumination, Mirage throws the switch, and across the galaxy, Transformers begin to freeze in place. The human crew on standby monitor the effect of the device...only to discover that Tracks and the Smokescreens are still functioning just fine! Mirage radios in to confirm that he too is still operational, and everyone realizes that all the Binaltech Transformers are still operating: a consequence of the GT System storing their [[spark\|life cores]] in [[unspace\|subspace]], beyond the reach of the machine's effect. And since most of the Autobots have been upgraded into Binaltech forms thanks to [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Wheeljack]]'s Project: Bodyshop, losses on their side are minimal, while most of the Decepticons are deactivated. Having expected a worst-case scenario, this last desperate ploy has secured the Autobots a triumphant victory!

	On Mars, Megatron shuts down in mid-battle with Nemesis Prime, but the evil Binaltech continues to operate, and summons the only other functioning Decepticon on the planet, [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]], to his side.

	Back on Cybertron, Mirage successfully locates the device, avoiding the traps set by Ravage. With one final rumination, Mirage throws the switch, and across the galaxy, Transformers begin to freeze in place. The human crew on standby monitor the effect of the device...only to discover that Tracks and the Smokescreens are still functioning just fine! Mirage radios in to confirm that he too is still operational, and everyone realizes that all the Binaltech Transformers are still operating: a consequence of the GT System storing their [[spark\|life cores]] in [[~~Transwarp~~\|subspace]], beyond the reach of the machine's effect. And since most of the Autobots have been upgraded into Binaltech forms thanks to [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Wheeljack]]'s Project: Bodyshop, losses on their side are minimal, while most of the Decepticons are deactivated. Having expected a worst-case scenario, this last desperate ploy has secured the Autobots a triumphant victory!

	Some time has passed since the defeat of [[Unicron]] and the return of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Megatron]] and his [[Decepticon]] army from beyond time. Alas, the goal that [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Battle Ravage]] had sought to achieve by altering history had indeed come to pass: the weakened and battle-weary Autobots have been overcome by Megatron's fighting-fit forces, and [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] has fallen to Decepticon control. Worse still, on [[Earth]], [[Doctor Arkeville]]'s creation [[Nemesis Prime (G1)\|Nemesis Prime]] is scheming behind the scenes. Although times are hard for the Autobots, the knowledge that the fabled "[[Alternity (species)\|Alternity]]" would emerge in the future from their struggles gives them hope.

	[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] summons [[Prowl II\|Prowl]] and the rest of his advisors for a tactical meeting, during which he reveals that Autobot scientists have managed to recover some of Battle Ravage's data on the events of the future, despite the Decepticon's attempt to delete it when he was captured. From the data, the Autobots have learned of an [[large switch\|ancient device]] hidden in the depths of Cybertron that will deactivate all the Transformers, and they resolve to trigger it, despite the fact that they will be shut down as well. For the Autobots, ending the war is the most important thing, but hopefully, their human allies will be able to restore them afterwards.
