	On the surface of [[Cygnus Seven]], [[Doctor McCoy]] and [[Spock]] eye [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]]'s body suspiciously; despite [[Scotty]]'s assurances, McCoy wonders, ''can'' they trust the gigantic robot, given their prior encounter? Spock is more optimistic, noting that the robot's comatose form is marked with a [[Autobot\|symbol]] that distinguishes him from the hostile mechanoids they've just driven off. Scotty, meanwhile, remains eager to try and jumpstart their unusual patient, but is unsure ''how'' to do it until Spock comes up with a theory of his own; noting that the electrical signals of Prime's head are similar to those of humanoid brains, Spock uses the traditional [[Vulcan]] mind meld procedure to merge his consciousness with that of the Cybertronian's.

	''Entering Optimus's mind, the science officer is quickly overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope of ancient memories: a [[Cybertron (planet)\|metal planet]] locked in an [[Great War (G1)\|endless war]], a [[Ark (G1)\|starship]] crash, a battle against an [[Megatron (G1)\|eternal foe]] on archaic [[Earth]]...'' and this emotional deluge causes the half-Vulcan to sever the telepathic link. Spock is shaken by his experience, but assures McCoy that he's unharmed. Scotty, on the other hand, is overjoyed; the brief mental connection has successfully roused their patient from stasis! Introductions are made all around as Prime thanks his rescuers, but when Spock reminds him of the circumstances behind his deactivation, Prime's concerns immediately go back to the Decepticons responsible for the attack on the planet. Spock reassures him that they've already sent the Decepticons packing... but Prime gravely corrects Spock's assertion that he's the last robot left on the planet—he's ''not''.

	Deep beneath the planet's [[dilithium]] mine, [[James Kirk\|Captain Kirk]], [[Sulu]], and [[M'Ress]] are learning this fact firsthand; an irate [[Jazz (G1)\|Jazz]] is in no mood to play nicely with the organics, demanding to know what they've done with Optimus. Despite their best efforts to evade the colossal aliens, the captain and his shipmates find themselves pinned down by Autobots, with Jazz snarling that he knows what humans are capable of. Kirk tries a different tack, and after connecting the wounded robotic truck he encountered and the name "Optimus Prime," he convinces the Autobots to stand down. Kirk assures them that Prime is still alive and in the care of his capable associates, and that he and his team entered the mineshaft because of their unusual energy signatures. Kirk and his crew come in peace and mean no harm; indeed, all he wants to know is... who ''are'' they?		Deep beneath the planet's [[dilithium]] mine, [[James T.

	Meanwhile, on a nearby moon, the routed Decepticons themselves regroup inside [[Trypticon (G1)\|Trypticon]] as [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] gets to grips with their unusual new [[Klingon]] allies. Commander [[Kuri]] explains how the starship ''[[USS Enterprise\|Enterprise]]'' shot down their ship, and is all too eager to get revenge on Kirk, proposing that an alliance may prove beneficial for both parties. [[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]] shares Megatron's dismissive attitude at first, believing that the Decepticons stand nothing to gain by allying with the Klingons, but Kuri has an ace up his sleeve: do the Decepticons know anything about cloaking technology?
