	As [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Megatron]] fires upon their ship, [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Kup]] and the [[Wreckers]] are able to bail out in escape pods at the last minute, and crash-land on the ruined [[Earth]] in the middle of the [[Mojave Desert]]. They quickly depart their landing site, but with [[Topspin (G1)\|Topspin]] injured and [[Broadside (G1)\|Broadside]]'s neural circuits scrambled by the crash, things are already off to a bad start, and they only get worse when [[Whirl (G1)\|Whirl]] reports back from recon that Megatron is hot on their tail with a pack of [[Decepticon]]s. What the Wreckers do not realize is that these Decepticons are virtual [[zombie]]s, brought back from death and lobotomized by Megatron into loyal, brain-wiped servants, with only two allowed to retain a fragment of consciousness: [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Starscream]], as punishment for his legacy of treachery, and [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ratchet]], whose decapitated but still-living head now adorns Megatron's [[battle sled]]!

	Across the galaxy, [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] arrives in the vicinity of [[Nebulos]] on his quest to find a cure for the effects of [[Nucleon (substance)\|Nucleon]]. On approach to the planet, he reviews a science log on "[[Project Lazarus]]", an attempt by [[Nebulan]] senior scientist [[Borx]] to reconnect the [[Autobot]] [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]]' original heads to their bodies following the deaths of their Nebulan partners during the [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]] war. After some initial difficulties, the process is coming along, and Grimlock figures that his head—and those of the other Nucleon-afflicted Transformers—could thus be transplanted onto new, transforming bodies. Given that he has broken so many rules already, Grimlock is unconcerned with the fact that the planet has been declared out of bounds by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]], but upon setting down in [[Koraja]], he finds the city deserted. When he is attacked by mesmerized Nebulans in jet fighters, he cannot bring himself to cross that final line and fire back on the organics, and so he is defeated and knocked out. As he falls, he is approached by [[Scorponok (G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity~~\|something]] that walks on rows of spindly green legs.

	Across the galaxy, [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Grimlock]] arrives in the vicinity of [[Nebulos]] on his quest to find a cure for the effects of [[Nucleon (substance)\|Nucleon]]. On approach to the planet, he reviews a science log on "[[Project Lazarus]]", an attempt by [[Nebulan]] senior scientist [[Borx]] to reconnect the [[Autobot]] [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]]' original heads to their bodies following the deaths of their Nebulan partners during the [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]] war. After some initial difficulties, the process is coming along, and Grimlock figures that his head—and those of the other Nucleon-afflicted Transformers—could thus be transplanted onto new, transforming bodies. Given that he has broken so many rules already, Grimlock is unconcerned with the fact that the planet has been declared out of bounds by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]], but upon setting down in [[Koraja]], he finds the city deserted.

	Back on Earth, the Wreckers target the [[Deep Space Network]] in [[Goldstone]], intending to use its dish to broadcast a message to Cybertron. While [[Sandstorm (G1)\|Sandstorm]], [[Leadfoot (G2)\|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)\|Roadbuster]] draw off most of the pursuing zombie-cons, Kup, Whirl and [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]] make for the dish. When more pursuers appear, Kup peels off to deal with them, urging Springer and Whirl to get the message through. Although he is able to take down [[Tentakil (G1)\|Tentakil]], Kup is felled when [[Skywarp (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Skywarp]] teleports out of the path of his blasts and appears behind him to gun him down. Kup is brought before Megatron, who explains with maniacal glee that his destruction of Earth is not in the name of conquest: he simply did it to get some ''attention''! He ''wants'' the Wreckers' message to get through to Cybertron, so that Optimus Prime will finally come and face him!
