	In the present day, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Orion Pax]] receives a call from [[Hardhead (G1)\|Hardhead]] and meets with him and his crew—[[Wheelie (G1)\|Wheelie]] and [[Garnak]]—at an interstellar way station. Hardhead explains that after the rebirth of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], the trio captured the catatonic [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]] and took him off-planet. Things changed just recently when their ship picked up a signal from Arduria, which caused the mad scientist to awaken and begin screaming Pax's name, prompting Hardhead to call on him. Pax is brought before the babbling Jhiaxus, whose gibbering about "[[regenesis]]" prompts Pax to order a course plotted to Arduria right away.

Pax is brought before the babbling Jhiaxus, whose gibbering about "[[regenesis]]" prompts Pax to order a course plotted to Arduria right away.

	Arriving on the frozen planet, Orion and Hardhead explore beneath its surface, discussing Jhiaxus's relationship with his student Shockwave. Hardhead confirms that Shockwave is still on Cybertron, having checked with [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Bumblebee]]; he also imparts to Pax the news of the destruction of the ''[[Lost Light]]'', but Orion is sure that Rodimus and his crew are fine, wherever they may be. The pair then come upon the source of the planet's heat loss: one of Shockwave's [[Regenesis]] missiles, whose [[Ore-6\|ore]] has clearly had a different effect on Arduria than the one that carried [[Ore-13]] had on Earth. More worrying still is the giant, frozen figure clutching the missile: [[Monstructor (G1)\|Monstructor]]! Worse yet: the titanic horror is not really frozen at all, and has been lying in wait for the Autobots, drawing them to the planet as a trap so that his master [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] can free Jhiaxus. As the monstrous combiner attacks, Pax tries blasting Monstructor's old weak spot, but it becomes apparent that Bludgeon has had the combiner ports reinforced. Nevertheless, his work as a distraction done, the combiner splits into his [[Pretender Monster\|component parts]], who flee with Bludgeon and Jhiaxus aboard the Decepticons' [[Torment\|ship]].

	A little later, after the injuries Bludgeon has subjected Wheelie and Garnak to during his rescue of Jhiaxus have been treated, Hardhead and Orion deduce that Jhiaxus and Bludgeon are on their way to the [[Lenocinium Velnero System]], where Wheelie had previously been stranded years before. Mention of the system sends Wheelie into (non-rhyming) panic, but the decision is made: Orion has realized that Jhiaxus is tracking down the fruits of Shockwave's Regenesis program, and that another of his missiles must be planted in the L-V System. If the ore seeded on Earth was number thirteen, and Arduria held another missile, that means there are eleven left... but Orion Pax is resolute in the face of danger, and tired of walking away.
