[[File:OmegaDoomNexusPrimeGalvatron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Look out, evil, it's the [[redeco]] patrol!]]
[[Omega Doom]] begins his assault on the Decepticons, as [[Abominus (SG)|Abominus]] orders the Autobot to surrender. Impressed by the combiner's courage, Omega Doom unleashes his eyebeams...but Abominus is saved by the reunited [[Nexus Prime]], who, along with the resurrected [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], reformatted as Galvatron, orders Omega Doom to stand down or be destroyed. Even Omega Doom's arsenal cannot defeat Nexus Prime, and the Autobot superweapon pragmatically launches his starkiller missile, which heads for the solar system's sun. Nexus Prime is forced to deal with the bomb, while Galvatron deals with Omega Doom.
[[Omega Doom]] reaches the [[Decepticon]] base and starts attacking the defenders sent out to deal with him. [[Abominus (SG)|Abominus]] tells Omega to surrender, but the [[Autobot]] responds with an eye beam blast that brings the [[combiner]] to his knees. Omega then fires a second time, but it is blocked by a [[force field]] from the reborn [[Nexus Prime]], who is backed up by Galvatron, the resurrected [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]]'s new form.


After an exchange of weapons fire, Omega Doom realizes he's outmatched, and launches his starkiller missile towards [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s star to distract the gestalt. Nexus Prime races after the missile while Galvatron leads his Decepticons against Omega. What's left of the Decepticon parts of Nexus Prime's mind scream for him to stay and fight, but he knows the [[Autobot]] parts of him have the right idea in saving the star from going nova and torching everyone on the planet.
As Omega Doom rampages against the Decepticons, Nexus Prime rushes after the missile. He can feel his components bicker as they are subsumed into one, with his Decepticon components wanting to stay and fight Omega Doom, and his Autobot components urging him forth to save the sun. Unfortunately, he is too late, as the starkiller impacts the sun. The sun's magnetic field begins to break down, and soon it will explode, destroying everything in a few light days radius. Nexus Prime does what he can, using his energon manipulating powers...


Unfortunately Nexus Prime is too late to stop the missile's impact, but he uses his abilities to repair the damage done before the star can explode. Back on Cybertron, Omega Doom has managed to defeat all of the Decepticons except for Galvatron, but Nexus returns to divebomb Omega into submission with a high-energy impact.
Galvatron, the last Decepticon standing, watches as Omega Doom looms over him. Omega Doom finds the Decepticons pathetic, having defeated all they have to offer...but Nexus Prime, having successfully saved the sun, strikes, causing a massive explosion. The heavily weakened Omega Doom cannot comprehend his defeat, thinking it impossible, but Nexus Prime tells him that the impossible is what he does.


Inside the Decepticon base, Galvatron undergoes repairs while giving thanks and goodbyes to Nexus Prime, who must leave with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] to follow [[Star Saber (Prima)|a personal calling]]. Galvatron offers the use of the [[stellar spanner]] the Decepticons recovered from [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]'s laboratory, which will be destroyed afterwards to keep it out of dangerous hands. [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]], who's chosen to stay until [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] is defeated, offers his own goodbyes to what's left of [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], and asks where Nexus Prime is headed. Nexus doesn't know, but as he and Aquarius step through the Spanner he's sure fate will take them where they need to go...
Much later, Nexus Prime decides that he, along with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]], will continue his journey. Galvatron, undergoing repairs, respects his decision, and thanks him for his heroism. Nexus Prime and Aquarius will be transported by [[stellar spanner]], after which it will be destroyed, as reports that [[Alpha Trion#Shattered Glass|Alpha Trion]] is still online make the Decepticons unwilling to keep his technology in existence. Nexus Prime offers to take [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] back to his home dimension, but the Autobot turns down his offer, wanting payback on [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]. Asked where he's headed, Nexus Prime reflects that he is unsure, knowing that the recall code is still active, and depending on it to guide him towards his destiny. Cliffjumper says goodbye to the [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] parts of Nexus, and as the two enter the portal, Nexus Prime reassures Aquarius that fate will guide them towards where they need to go.

Synopsis

[edit]

Omega Doom begins his assault on the Decepticons, as Abominus orders the Autobot to surrender. Impressed by the combiner's courage, Omega Doom unleashes his eyebeams...but Abominus is saved by the reunited Nexus Prime, who, along with the resurrected Megatron, reformatted as Galvatron, orders Omega Doom to stand down or be destroyed. Even Omega Doom's arsenal cannot defeat Nexus Prime, and the Autobot superweapon pragmatically launches his starkiller missile, which heads for the solar system's sun. Nexus Prime is forced to deal with the bomb, while Galvatron deals with Omega Doom.

As Omega Doom rampages against the Decepticons, Nexus Prime rushes after the missile. He can feel his components bicker as they are subsumed into one, with his Decepticon components wanting to stay and fight Omega Doom, and his Autobot components urging him forth to save the sun. Unfortunately, he is too late, as the starkiller impacts the sun. The sun's magnetic field begins to break down, and soon it will explode, destroying everything in a few light days radius. Nexus Prime does what he can, using his energon manipulating powers...

Galvatron, the last Decepticon standing, watches as Omega Doom looms over him. Omega Doom finds the Decepticons pathetic, having defeated all they have to offer...but Nexus Prime, having successfully saved the sun, strikes, causing a massive explosion. The heavily weakened Omega Doom cannot comprehend his defeat, thinking it impossible, but Nexus Prime tells him that the impossible is what he does.

Much later, Nexus Prime decides that he, along with Aquarius, will continue his journey. Galvatron, undergoing repairs, respects his decision, and thanks him for his heroism. Nexus Prime and Aquarius will be transported by stellar spanner, after which it will be destroyed, as reports that Alpha Trion is still online make the Decepticons unwilling to keep his technology in existence. Nexus Prime offers to take Cliffjumper back to his home dimension, but the Autobot turns down his offer, wanting payback on Optimus Prime. Asked where he's headed, Nexus Prime reflects that he is unsure, knowing that the recall code is still active, and depending on it to guide him towards his destiny. Cliffjumper says goodbye to the Skyfall and Landquake parts of Nexus, and as the two enter the portal, Nexus Prime reassures Aquarius that fate will guide them towards where they need to go.
