Optimus Prime arrives at Neo Scramble City and is welcomed by [[Atari Hitotonari]]. Both share their misgivings with the use of the [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]-derived [[Angolmois Energy]]. Optimus meets with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] to express his discontent with the use of Angolmois Energy and the Selectors, but their meeting is interrupted by [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]], who reports a time warp taking place on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]]. Realizing that the evacuation of Angolmois Energy must be causing it, Optimus has [[Carly]] call her old friends, the Dinobots, to warn them of the temporal incursion.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] confronts [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and begs him to stop, as the war is long over. Megatron corrects his counterpart, pointing out that this is a ''revolution''. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings", no? Megatron asks why the Selectors—super robots like them—don't deserve the same freedom from the humans as their freedom from the Quintessons. Optimus struggles to answer. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

Optimus Prime, on behalf of the [[Cybertron Alliance]], makes an announcement to humanity that their demand is simple: Freedom for the Selectors and their own independent nation on [[Earth]]. This plan hits a snag as the Dinobots finally arrive at Neo Scramble City, their tempers inflamed by the comatose [[Carly|Carly Witwicky]]. The angered Dinobots head off to fight the combined Autobot-Decepticon army. One by one, Autobot and Decepticon alike fall to the might of the Dinobots. [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] attempts to use his upgraded body to fight [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]], but even he isn't of much use against his bestial strength. Optimus Prime finally faces off against the Dinobot leader and begs him to stop...

Sick of being told to calm down, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] prepares a decapitating strike on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], but finds that he cannot follow through, his [[Magma Blade]] stopping inches before Optimus's neck. Optimus again tells him to calm down and think back to his original construction, revealing that, fearing the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]' brute strength and primitive minds, the [[Autobot]]s installed a failsafe inside them that would allow for acts of rebellion and dissent, but prevent the taking of a life. [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] is furious at this revelation, arguing that it proves the Dinobots were built as slaves to the Autobots, making them no different from the [[human]]s or [[Quintesson]]s. Grimlock then chews out the already-shocked Prime, arguing that, since they were built stupid, the Dinobots never had any freedom or respect in the first place. The only people who had ever respected them were the humans, and that, Grimlock explains, is why they are fighting against the [[Cybertron Alliance]] as the humans' allies. Optimus falls to his knees, now fully cognizant of how many mistakes he's made. The fight is not over yet, however, as [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] arrives, having beaten the other four Dinobots, ready to take on Grimlock.
{{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}
Grimlock and the Technobots then combine into [[Volcaticon]], who asks Sky Lynx to team up with them, both being [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaur]]-type robots. Sky Lynx declines, calling Grimlock an idiot while he fights for all [[Selector]]s. From within the combination, Grimlock asserts that he'll just get smarter, downloading Computron's intelligence back into himself. The Technobots lock on to Sky Lynx's weaknesses and Volcaticon fires an electric pulse, splitting Sky Lynx apart and leaving him paralyzed, but very much alive. Grimlock then explains how he became intelligent by absorbing data from [[Vector Sigma]] all those years ago, then resolves to use his intellect to find a peaceful solution to the Selectors' rebellion.

Corrosive gas bombs are dropped on the assembled [[Transformer]]s, with Grimlock and Optimus both giving the command to take defensive positions. As Optimus grimly notes that they only have three minutes to survive, Rodimus points out [[Terrorcon (G1)|five incoming warriors]] coming from the moonlit sky... {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}
{{storylink|Abominus comic 1}}
Sent on behalf of the [[Quintesson]]s to assist the [[human]]s against the [[Selector]]s, [[Autobot]]s, and [[Decepticon]]s, the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] leap out of the sky and immediately attack their opponents. [[Volcanicus (Generations)|Volcanicus]] and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] unfortunately don't fare well, as Computron's transfer of his intelligence to the other combiner has removed their respective and unique abilities of beastly battlelust and super-computation. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] tries to rein in his former underlings, but [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Gurrr]] pays little attention as he consumes a [[Smashdown]] and a [[Soundbarrier]]. With the power of [[Angolmois Energy]], he converts the Selectors into a [[Slitherfang|snake robot]] that he spits at his former leader.

[[Rippersnapper (G1)|Rippersnapper]] tears into [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and is about to strike [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] with his Angolmois Ball attack, but it's blocked by a wall of [[Doublecrosser]]s! The wall, however, is simply picked up by [[Cutthroat (G1)|Cutthroat]] and the poor Selectors are fed to his brood of [[Pteraxadon]]s, whom he's grown and expanded with an stolen [[Energon Matrix]] and the power of Angolmois. Nearby, [[Blot (G1)|Blot]] takes down [[Orthia]] with his noxious slime gun, splitting the combiner into her [[Female Autobots|Female Autobot]] components. [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] realizes that, since being empowered with Angolmois Energy, Blot's oil contains [[anti-electron]]s and the corroding gas is emanating from his very body.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] struggles to get up, calling the situation hell, to which [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]], self-stylized "Watchdog of Hell", gleefully explains that the Selectors' [[spark]]s won't be joining the heavenly [[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]; instead, they'll be fed into the Transformers' new "hell"—the [[Hellspark]] within Hun-Gurrr's base mode.

The [[Angolmois Energy]] eruptions continue, with more Transformers being corrupted, inside and outside, by it. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron Omega]] recovers from his seemingly fatal injury, and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] retrieves his intelligence from [[Volcanicus (Generations)|Volcanicus]]. With [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], Computron makes an attempt on [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], but his Angolmois Energy attack forces the combiners to split apart... and they recover as [[Comperian]]! Abominus is knocked over to [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and forcibly takes their limbs to become [[Abomenaticus]].
[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] faces off against Megatron Omega, begging him to stand down, but unable to pull the trigger on his friend. Megatron has no compunctions, though, and simply shoots Optimus down. Megatron Omega screams, declaring that humanity will be exiled from Earth and that all of the planet's Angolmois Energy belongs to him. With it, he shall surpass [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] himself. Abomenaticus doesn't take well to this claim, reforming Abominus who says that the planet belongs to the strongest—himself, not Megatron or the Quintessons.
Optimus Prime recovers with the power of the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]]. Thanks to Megatron's Angolmois beam, Optimus Prime's memory has been restored—he now remembers his [[2011]] self's time in the past universe, where they can find answers to the crisis currently taking place in [[2050]]! Abominus continues his fight against Megatron Omega, but the balance of power is skewered towards Megatron, whose status as a being rebuilt by Unicron himself gives him an advantage against the secondhand construction of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. Abominus is knocked away, and the resulting crash frees the [[spark]]s trapped in his [[Hellspark]] (which Optimus Prime orders [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] to gather). Megatron Omega makes one decisive Angolmois blast at Abominus, but it is blocked by Volcanicus using his Angolmois-made [[Magma Blade]]. Optimus Prime, knowing what must be done, orders the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] to prepare for a warp hole and go through to discover the secrets of Angolmois Energy so that they can return Megatron to normal. The warp hole from [[Primus]] appears and Abominus, wanting to know those secrets as well, tags along. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}

Wow this place looks super honorable I bet all sorts of highly esteemed deeds are commemorated here.
Once the beating heart of the Angolmois-powered joint human-Cybertronian super-civilization of 2050, Neo Scramble City (ネオスクランブルシティ Neo Sukuranburu Shiti) is primarily known to history as the site of the final battle for Earth as we know it.
