	Still dealing with the loss of [[Caminus (planet)\|Caminus]], [[Aileron]] finds no comfort in [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Arcee]]'s stoic assurance that they will be able to get through the threat of Unicron. Before the pair can argue their feelings out, [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Bumblebee]] apologetically interrupts to question Arcee; the sight of the [[Guardian robot\|Omega Sentinel]] they found inside Unicron clearly unnerved her, and he wants to know why. Aileron is ready to defend Arcee's honor, but Arcee confesses the secret reason: long ago, she fought alongside the Sentinels during the first disastrous attempts at Cybertronian expansion to other worlds. She assumes one of the Sentinels must have found Unicron, long ago, and suspects it could have been sent by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]]. Since they obviously can't trust anything Shockwave would tell them, Bumblebee heads off to see the only other 'bot who might have the answer, but when Aileron tries to tag along, 'Bee is reluctant to let her. Aileron explains that she needs something to ''do'' in this time of crisis, an urge Bumblebee himself is very familiar with, and agrees to let her join him as he visits the hangar containing the comatose [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]]. Of course, since the giant [[Autobot]] has been offline for years, there's no way 'Bee can actually ''talk'' with Omega; he is just here to scope out the situation, hoping perhaps [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] can be called upon to read Omega's mind. That becomes unnecessary, however, when 'Bee rests his hand upon Omega's forehead, and a crackle of dark energy overcomes the little 'bot, darkening his eyes...

	The [[Torchbearer]]s watch from afar as [[Pyra Magna]] silently looks out over the horizon, still clutching the deceased [[Mistress of Flame]]'s [[forgehammer]]. Pyra thinks the gift of the hammer was one last parting jab from the Mistress, to remind her of what the Mistress believed she should be; bitterly, Pyra stabs the hammer's shaft into the ground, and leaves it standing there as she walks away, angrily certain that she could never forget the Mistress, even if she wanted to.

	Starscream joins [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] and the rest of the [[Council of Worlds]] in their war room, though he is far from welcomed by his old political partners. Starscream assures them he is not who he used to be, revealing Shockwave's plan to build a new Decepticon empire after letting Unicron eat Cybertron, and how he has no desire to go along with it. [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] proposes adding the rest of the Cybertronian fleet to the Decepticon armada for the attack on Unicron, but Starscream insists the Decepticons can do it alone, while Optimus remains confident in his belief that Starscream intends to betray them all. The argument is interrupted by a transmission from [[G Nebula 89]], which turns out to be from the starship ''[[Sabre]]'' captained by the long-absent [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]], who was sent to search for [[Liege Maximo]] months ago. Maximo's reappearance on Cybertron had led all to assume the ''Sabre'' was lost, but it turns out they had a run-in with the [[Maximal]]s and sustained damage to their comms which has only just now been repaired. And none too soon, because the ''Sabre'' has just run across the Decepticon fleet as it begins its attack on Unicron!

	Somehow merging minds with Omega Supreme, Bumblebee is granted a glimpse into the distant past, where Unicron's origins are hinted at.

The energies released by this device tore across the cosmos, through space and time, destroying the world of [[Prysmos]]... using its magic to mutate the surviving aliens into the [[Dire Wraith]]s... and obliterating the war-torn world's star system, leaving only a black star, orbited by the now-lifeless world.''

	Chromia and her crew watch in awe as the Decepticon fleet unleashes an unspeakable amount of firepower against Unicron, to no apparent avail.

	* Though it's not entirely clear from the visuals, the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic\|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns. The destruction of Prysmos has been established to be a recent event that happened within the Visionaries' lifetimes, which would indicate that the doomsday device's powers reached across space ''and time'' to cause it (as implied by Omega's narration, which says the machine reached not just "across worlds," but "across reality").		* Though it's not entirely clear from the visuals, the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic\|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns.

	* Compounding the unclear visuals, the narration ("giving rise to new magicks, new wars...") could be read as implying that the magic of Prysmos was ''created'' by Unicron's birth, but rather, it is intended to establish that the Dire Wraiths and their dark "magicks" were created ''from'' the "magic" of Prysmos. The Wraiths were established to hail from the [[Dark Nebula]] in [[Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!\|''More than Meets the Eye: Revolution'']], and though the presence of a "black star," left by the activation of the alien device, might make it seem that this region of space ''is'' the Nebula, [[Shining Armor issue 1\|''Rom vs. Transformers'' #1]] established that the [[Space Knight]]s destroyed what was considered to be the ~~{{i\|~~Dire Wraith homeworld}} centuries ago. The Wraiths didn't contest this (~~{{i\|~~Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4\|''ROM'' #14}} revealed they infiltrated Earth specifically to transform it into a new home), but this new development indicates that the world the Knights destroyed must have merely the planet to which the Wraiths migrated following their creation.		* Compounding the unclear visuals, the narration ("giving rise to new magicks, new wars...") could be read as implying that the magic of Prysmos was ''created'' by Unicron's birth, but rather, it is intended to establish that the Dire Wraiths and their dark "magicks" were created ''from'' the "magic" of Prysmos.

	* Chromia left Cybertron to pursue Liege Maximo in [[Heavy\|''Till All Are One'' #9]]. Her fate, and that of her team, has been a hanging question until now, what with Liege's reappearance in [[The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes\|''Optimus Prime'' #15]], and Windblade's own inquiry about what happened to them in [[The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine\|#16]] going unanswered. Turns out they were okay, folks.		* Chromia left Cybertron to pursue Liege Maximo in [[Heavy\|''Till All Are One'' #9]].

Turns out they were okay, folks.
	* Though it's not entirely clear from the visuals, the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic\|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns. The destruction of Prysmos has been established to be a recent event that happened within the Visionaries' lifetimes, which would indicate that the doomsday device's powers reached across space ''and time'' to cause it (as implied by Omega's narration, which says the machine reached not just "across worlds," but "across reality").		* Though it's not entirely clear from the visuals, the energies released by the alien doomsday weapon were responsible for the destruction of Prysmos, an event which, per [[Schismatic\|''Transformers vs. Visionaries'' #1]], the former inhabitants of the planet believe was caused by the de-alignment of its three suns.

	* Compounding the unclear visuals, the narration ("giving rise to new magicks, new wars...") could be read as implying that the magic of Prysmos was ''created'' by Unicron's birth, but rather, it is intended to establish that the Dire Wraiths and their dark "magicks" were created ''from'' the "magic" of Prysmos. The Wraiths were established to hail from the [[Dark Nebula]] in [[Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again!\|''More than Meets the Eye: Revolution'']], and though the presence of a "black star," left by the activation of the alien device, might make it seem that this region of space ''is'' the Nebula, [[Shining Armor issue 1\|''Rom vs. Transformers'' #1]] established that the [[Space Knight]]s destroyed what was considered to be the ~~{{i\|~~Dire Wraith homeworld}} centuries ago. The Wraiths didn't contest this (~~{{i\|~~Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4\|''ROM'' #14}} revealed they infiltrated Earth specifically to transform it into a new home), but this new development indicates that the world the Knights destroyed must have merely the planet to which the Wraiths migrated following their creation.		* Compounding the unclear visuals, the narration ("giving rise to new magicks, new wars...") could be read as implying that the magic of Prysmos was ''created'' by Unicron's birth, but rather, it is intended to establish that the Dire Wraiths and their dark "magicks" were created ''from'' the "magic" of Prysmos.

	* The visual of a "dead world" orbiting a "black star" has been a component of the Onyx Prime/Unicron mytharc since 2015's [[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange\|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #47]]. We still don't have the full picture, but Unicron was shown orbiting a black hole in his debut in [[First Strike issue 6\|''First Strike'' #6]], and the [[Ghost Stories\|2017 ''Transformers'' annual]] would show that the planet [[Antilla]], home of Shockwave/Onyx Prime following the end of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], did the same...		* The visual of a "dead world" orbiting a "black star" has been a component of the Onyx Prime/Unicron mytharc since 2015's [[Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange\|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #47]].

	* Bludgeon spoke of the approach of a "master" back in issue #14; the most logical choice at the time was that he was referring to the impending arrival of Onyx Prime (especially since Onyx later turned out to be Shockwave, who actually used to ''be'' Bludgeon's master), but it turns out that, like we speculated, he was indeed referring to Unicron!		* Bludgeon spoke of the approach of a "master" back in issue #14; the most logical choice at the time was that he was referring to the impending arrival of Onyx Prime (especially since Onyx later turned out to be Shockwave, who actually used to ''be'' Bludgeon's master), but it turns out that, like we speculated, he was indeed referring to Unicron!
