At the [[Red Planet]], [[Red Sentinel Prime]] attempts to fell [[Terrormander]] with his [[Matrix Buster|Red Matrix]]-powered Matrix Buster, but it's of no use. [[Scylla (BW)|Scylla]] makes landing at the [[Yellow Planet]], where she introduces herself to the other girls and uses her Angolmois-powered [[Blown Kiss of Death]] to take the [[Matrix Gauntlet|Yellow Matrix]] from [[Yellow Splendid Convoy]]. The [[Black Planet]] is defended by [[Deadlock (Cloud)|Deadlock]], who has been studying under [[Go Prime|Black Go Prime]] to become a [[Swordbot]].

There aren't enough Seacons to go around, though, and the [[Purple Planet]] stays uninvaded.

On the Blue Planet, Primus is alerted to the Seacons' attacks on the Warriors of Lights.

Star Convoy recognizes one of the Seacons as Halfshell, and Primus explains that he's been changed by the god-rivaling power of [[Angolmois Energy]], which can allow one to change their or others' form and even resurrect the dead. This revelation is cue for [[Primacron]] to barge in and berate Primus for using ''his'' creation, bringing it from the future and having it proliferate in this universe.

The Blue Order is betrayed!
Synopsis
[edit]With the theft of the Blue Matrix, Primus alerts the other colored Orders of the Primus Vanguard to defend their respective Matrices from Megatron Omega, for if he gets all seven, all is lost for this universe...
On the Blue Planet, the Blue Order is torn asunder, its members driven to attack each other by the program secretly implanted into them by one of the group's Straxuses. Blue Big Convoy realizes the betrayal, and the other Straxus—Director Straxus—mocks him and explains that the previous commander, Brightes, shouldn't have passed him over for Supreme Commander in favor of Big. Refusing to dirty his hands by harming his comrades, Big stabs himself with the Matrix Sword, but the amused Straxus just takes it and offers his services to Megatron Omega so that the other Orders and Primus's ambitions can be destroyed.
Left behind, Turtler moans about his inability to stand up to the villains, but is bemused when the planet's native Beast People thank him for saving them. Primus explains to Star Convoy that, while the members of the Blue Order have perished, their sparks will be stored in his Ark and pass on to the next incarnation of the universe, which is why he led Galvatron to this universe (although Big's spark is mysteriously absent). Turtler alerts Star Convoy to a more immediate mystery: the absence of Halfshell from the crashed photon sailer...
At the White Planet, White Gallant Convoy is alerted to an invading turtle—Halfshell! The Seacon is here for his White Matrix! The Green Planet faces a similar invasion as Sea Phantom seeks to take the Green Matrix from Green Tender Convoy.
At the Red Planet, Red Sentinel Prime attempts to fell Terrormander with his Red Matrix-powered Matrix Buster, but it's of no use. Scylla makes landing at the Yellow Planet, where she introduces herself to the other girls and uses her Angolmois-powered Blown Kiss of Death to take the Yellow Matrix from Yellow Splendid Convoy. The Black Planet is defended by Deadlock, who has been studying under Black Go Prime to become a Swordbot. Go recognizes his foe, Coelagon, from his time in the Seacon's world. Coelagon explains that he's here for the Black Matrix, also known as the time-controlling Black Legendisc.
There aren't enough Seacons to go around, though, and the Purple Planet stays uninvaded. They still have visitors in the form of the Straxuses and Ultra Megatron Omega, so Purple Wicked Convoy proposes that they combine the power of the Purple, Blue, and Silver Matrices to defeat all of their enemies and take over the universe.
On the Blue Planet, Primus is alerted to the Seacons' attacks on the Warriors of Lights. A Beast Person explains to a confused Star Convoy that all of the Warriors are robots who defend life throughout the universe as part of the Primus Vanguard. The Beast introduces herself as Lune and also amusedly explains that "Convoy" means the same thing as "Commander" here. Star Convoy recognizes one of the Seacons as Halfshell, and Primus explains that he's been changed by the god-rivaling power of Angolmois Energy, which can allow one to change their or others' form and even resurrect the dead. This revelation is cue for Primacron to barge in and berate Primus for using his creation, bringing it from the future and having it proliferate in this universe. Primacron wants to know just what Primus, or, rather, the Oracle is planning...
There's not much time to talk, as the Seacons arrive with all of the different Matrices and combine into the mighty God Neptune! With the divine Star Power, God Neptune seeks to make a new Creation according to "his" wishes...

Notes
[edit]- Much like Blue Big Convoy's name being explained as a stylized reading of "Grand Commander", Red Sentinel Prime and Black Go Prime receive similar kanji names. Sentinel's is "Strongest Marshal" (最強なる元帥 Saikyōnaru Gensui), and Go Prime's is "Wise Marshal" (聡明なる元帥 Sōmeinaru Gensui).
Continuity notes
[edit]- The backstory created for Magna Convoy and Convobat, the fall of the Blue Order of the Primus Vanguard, is finally depicted in full in this comic, and Straxus's motivations for the betrayal is revealed.
Transformers references
[edit]
- The different Orders of the Primus Vanguard (outside of the Blue Order) all seem to have individual themes beyond their color; Green is made up of different Bulkheads, mostly represented by different toys of Prime Bulkhead, White is made up of police-themed redecoes, Yellow consists of female Transformers, and Purple is different Shockwaves (who apparently create monsters based on the Pretenders who didn't see release in Japan). Red features translucent red redecoes, and Black members are black redecoes, mostly Nemesis Primes.
- Magna Convoy makes a brief appearance in his original form as the drone MC11, obscured when Blue Big Convoy falls on him. Enough of him is shown to reveal that before being granted true life and being reformatted, he was one of the Micro Knights released in the 1979 range of Microman figures from Takara; specifically, the blue Micro Knight, which had the ID number of...MC11!
- The Matrices of the Orders are based on various toy accessories—the White Matrix is based on the Matrix accessory that came with TakaraTomy's Arms Master Optimus (including Shining R.A.) while the Green Matrix is the Creation Matrix that came with Galvatron II. The Yellow Matrix is Power of the Primes Predaking's Onyx Matrix (with Golden Lagoon Starscream's Power of the Primes-style combiner hand as an alternate mount for Onyx Prime), the Black Matrix or Black Legendisc is Fall of Cybertron Ravage in Data Disc form, and the Red Matrix is the foldable Energon Matrix included with Big Convoy (Matrix Buster Ver.) (the Matrix Buster is also included with said toy).
- Here we at last receive full context for the organic natives of the planet. The "Beast People" (ビースト人) are composed of anthropomorphic generics strongly resembling Beastformers, likely being their precursor.
- Primus's pose when observing his projected screens is a callback to a similar panel with Bludgeon in the Magna Convoy comic.
Real-world references
[edit]- Purple Wicked Convoy and Cyberverse Shockwave's scene contains a number of references to the main antagonists Akane Shinjō and Alexis Kerib from SSSS.Gridman. The 2018 anime series became well known among Transformers fans for its myriad of references to the franchise, with the character of Akane being designed after Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. Here, Wicked Convoy is shown to own a collection of monster Pretender models and is conversing with Shockwave via a computer screen. In Gridman, Alexis is an alien living inside of Akane's computer who brings the model monsters she sculpts to life. Furthermore, Tetsu Inada voices both Alexis and Shockwave.
