	Elsewhere, Optimus has marshalled the remaining Autobots towards Darkmount. [[Subsea]] and [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] discuss the increasing levels of anxiety and fear that have spread across Cybertron—and although Subsea admits that he's getting better at handling his own emotions, a sudden barrage from above throws the Autobot column into disarray! Optimus immediately contacts [[Strika (BM)\|Strika]] to demand an explanation, but discovers that Megatron's recalled Strika and put his ''other'' lieutenant, [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]], in command of [[Strika's Heavies\|Strika's artillery unit]] and the remaining Decepticons who participated in the siege of [[Crystal City]]. Jhiaxus claims that the Decepticons are suppressing an Insecticlone swarm and orders the Autobots to change their course; after terminating the call, Prime warns that while Strika is a professional who won't follow certain orders, Jhiaxus has no such compunctions. Indeed, Magnus and the other advance scouts confirm that Jhiaxus isn't telling the truth; the artillery barrage has boxed them off and left them open as a massive dust cloud rolls in on their flank. Suddenly, the Matrix calls out to Optimus; as the Autobot leader collapses unconscious, Ironhide orders the [[Senate Guard\|Prime Guard]] into action, while, on the other end of the battlefield, Jhiaxus orders his artillery and the [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seeker]]s to keep the Autobots pinned long enough for the swarming rust worms to finish the job.

	In the metaphysical realm, Optimus once again finds himself speaking to the Matrix's [[Mediator]] program, who brings grim tidings. Cybertron is crumbling: the unity that has held the planet and its inhabitants together for kilocycles has collapsed, and that fragmentation jeopardizes both the [[AllSpark]] and the Matrix itself. Their living planet is not just in danger... it is preparing to ''die'', and its own fear oscillates and echoes into the [[spark]]s of each individual Cybertronian. Optimus insists that he's not afraid—in the face of an existential threat, all he can do is to save as much of the planet as he can. While, in the waking world, individual Autobot teams do what they can to stave off the end—Ironhide and his team get Prime to safety, Tap-Out, Road Rage, and Hound go searching for Insecticons, while Chromia, [[Sideswipe (G1)\|Sideswipe]], and [[Strongarm (G1)\|Strongarm]] search for a way out of the trap and blunder into a Seeker ambush—the Mediator tells Optimus that the Matrix chose him for his hope, his ''optimism''... and it is that hope he must hold on to, so that, when the time is right, he can remind the citizens of Cybertron that [['Til all are one\|all are truly one]].

	Their plan hinges on a number of factors: [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] and [[Glyph (Universe)\|Glyph]] must engineer a data packet, Novastar's team has to get close enough to the central hive in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]] to place a receiver... and, most crucially, [[Hound (G1)\|Hound]] and [[Tap-Out (Universe)\|Tap-Out]] need to capture an intact Insecticlone and bring it back to Darkmount alive. Glyph bids farewell to her lover before she gets to work, while Hound and Tap-Out receive some extra assistance from [[Road Rage (G1)\|Road Rage]] as the three get ready to hunt for the bugs. In the meantime, Novastar's team—with [[Javelin]] subbing in for [[Sureshot (G1)\|Sureshot]]—cautiously pick their way towards the Cybertronian Mountains behind [[Smokescreen (G1)\|Smokescreen]], whose talents for subterfuge and misdirection easily fool the crude sensors of the Insecticlones and allow him to track the clones to the dead [[Titan (group)\|Titan]] that the Insecticons have turned into their nest.

	Elsewhere, Optimus has marshalled the remaining Autobots towards Darkmount, [[Subsea]] and [[Backstreet (G1)\|Backstreet]] discuss the increasing levels of anxiety and fear that have spread across Cybertron—and although Subsea admits that he's getting better at handling his own emotions, a sudden barrage from above throws the Autobot column into disarray! Optimus immediately contacts [[Strika (BM)\|Strika]] to demand an explanation, but discovers that Megatron's recalled Strika and put his ''other'' lieutenant, [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]], in command of [[Strika's Heavies\|Strika's artillery unit]] and the remaining Decepticons who participated in the siege of [[Crystal City]]. Jhiaxus claims that the Decepticons are suppressing an Insecticlone swarm and orders the Autobots to change their course; after terminating the call, Prime warns that while Strika is a professional who won't follow certain orders, Jhiaxus has no such compunctions. Indeed, Magnus and the other advance scouts confirm that Jhiaxus isn't telling the truth; the artillery barrage has boxed them off and left them open as a massive dust cloud rolls in on their flank. Suddenly, the Matrix calls out to Optimus; as the Autobot leader collapses unconscious, Ironhide orders the [[Senate Guard\|Prime Guard]] into action, while, on the other end of the battlefield, Jhiaxus orders his artillery and the [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seeker]]s to keep the Autobots pinned long enough for the swarming rust worms to finish the job.

	In the metaphysical realm, Optimus once again finds himself speaking to the Matrix's [[Mediator]] program, who brings grim tidings. Cybertron is crumbling: the unity that has held the planet and its inhabitants together for kilocycles has collapsed, and that fragmentation jeopardizes both the [[AllSpark]] and the Matrix itself. Their living planet is not just in danger... it is preparing to ''die'', and its own fear oscillates and echoes into the [[spark]]s of each individual Cybertronian. Optimus insists that he's not afraid—in the face of an existential threat, all he can do is to save as much of the planet as he can. While, in the waking world, individual Autobot teams do what they can to stave off the end—Ironhide and his team get Prime to safety, Tap-Out, Road Rage, and Hound go searching for Insecticons, while Chromia, [[Sideswipe (G1)\|Sideswipe]], and [[Strongarm (G1)\|Strongarm]] search for a way out of the trap and blunder into a Seeker ambush—the Mediator tells Optimus that the Matrix chose him for his hope, his ''optimism''... and it is that hope he must hold on to, so that, when the time is right, he can remind the citizens of Cybertron that [['Til all are one\|all are truly one]].
