	[[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Goldbug]] is talking with the [[Technobot (G1)\|Technobots]] at [[Autobot City (G1)\|Autobot City]]. Things have been quiet for the [[Autobot]]s in the months since the return of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Hate Plague]] crisis. Not a word has been heard of the [[Decepticon]]s in months. Who knows where they are. The answer? Right at their doorstep. Meanwhile, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ultra Magnus]] walks into a room to find Optimus on his knees. Optimus claims that he has been having visions since he opened the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]], and it's something big. Goldbug informs Optimus of the approaching Decepticon force, and Optimus realizes that ~~what ever~~ he's been sensing, it's starting right now.
