	In the [[2005 IDW timeline]], the story takes place in the distant past, somewhere in between the launch of the first ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'' (6.7 million years ago) and the events of ''[[Spotlight: Shockwave]]'' (less than a million years ago). This miniseries is noteworthy for having been originally planned during the not-paying-the-hired-help last days of [[Dreamwave Productions\|Dreamwave]], and only later retooled to fit the new IDW continuity.

	Senator [[Decimus]] is sent to announce the automation of an Energon mining outpost, much to the chagrin of the miners. When one of the workers protests, he is executed by an Autobot security official, sparking a riot. An enraged miner named Megatron tosses his axe into Decimus' shoulder and disarms his guard, accidentally killing him. The Autobot guards subdue the riot and arrest everyone. On the prison vessel, Rumble and Frenzy convince Megatron to lead a revolt. After taking over their ship, they blast the Senator's ship and head towards the criminal hub of [[Kaon (polity)\|Kaon]] where the miners hide and plot. [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]] becomes aware of the situation but is uninterested and appoints [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Prowl]] to handle the situation.

	Megatron joins underground [[gladiatorial combat]] games and hesitates to kill his first opponent, but does so after being ordered by the ring master and the audience. After getting accustomed to the kill, Megatron rises through the ranks and eventually kills the organizer and takes over. The games come to the attention of the corrupt and manipulative Senator Ratbat. Predicting a profitable situation, he sends his assistant to meet with Megatron. The games are also being watched by Prowl's team, who are eager to put a stop to the unlawful violence. Sentinel Prime arrives and announces that there have already been several efforts in a plan to catch the delinquents.
