'''Surprise visitors tip the scale in the battle for Primus.'''
 
'''Everything seems lost for the children of Primus, but surprise visitors tips the battle back in their favor.'''


==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
Vector Prime and Ramjet continue to battle far above [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s surface. Sentinel Maximus is blocked from the chamber containing [[Primus]]' essence, where Nemesis Prime is unleashing the Dead Matrix. Skyfall leaves the planet's surface, unsure why he's even here.
Above Cybertron, [[Vector Prime]] and [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] draw the swords, with the end looking near and bleak. [[Sentinel Maximus]] furiously digs through the rubble to Cybertron's spark core, while [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]] unleashes the power of the [[Dead Matrix]] within. And flying high above, [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] hopes for answers soon. Ramjet taunts Vector, as there's nothing he could do now, with only minutes remaining, but Vector simply unleashes his arsenal upon Ramjet, blasting him with [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]] and using his [[Cyber Key]] to disintegrate Ramjet's body. Skyfall rushes to the scene, hoping to prevent the bot with the answer to who he is from being destroyed.
 
As Ramjet and Vector Prime's fight reaches a climax, the latter calls upon his Cyber Key Power, unleashing a mighty blast of energy from his chest.  "Feel the might of a still living Primus!"  Ramjet begins to crumble.
 
But earlier, Nemesis Prime is knocked over with a "Boot of Justice!" from a newcomer and the [[Dead Matrix]] is taken from him and closed. It is Omega Prime, from [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]. How'd he get there? But no matter, he separates into Optimus Prime and Magnus.


Ramjet is rapidly deteriorating; it now is hard for him to hold himself in stable form.  Vector Prime opens up a portal with his sword and begins to blast Ramjet into it, but suddenly Skyfall appears between them, his force field protecting both he and Ramjet from Vector Prime's blast. "NO!  I need him!  He knows who I am!"  Curiously, one of Ramjet's tentacles brushes the edge of Skyfall's force field bubble, and it explodes.
Meanwhile, a portal opens up in Cybertron's spark chamber, as [[Omega Prime]] takes Nemesis by surprise. Seizing the Dead Matrix from him, Omega splits into [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], and as Optimus deals with the Dead Matrix, Ultra Magnus beats Nemesis into submission.


Ramjet's unraveled remains sinks into the portal, hand outstretched.
Meanwhile, Ramjet still claims to life above, trying to goad one final time that Primus will still die. Unable to kill him, Vector simply remarks that while the balance may be destroyed, the multiverse will still survive, and opens up a portal to the [[Unicron Singularity]], and uses his Cyber Key to push him in. However, Skyfall shows up at the last second, using his forcefield in an attempt to prevent his source of information from being destroyed. Ramjet attempts to grab onto him, but his anti-matter tendril disrupts Skyfalls forcefield, causing an explosion that pushes him into the void.


Optimus Prime starts to extinguish the effects of the Dead Matrix with a beam of energy from his Matrix chamber.  Magnus has roughed Nemesis Prime up, and continues to do so even after Nemesis is long unconscious.
Back in the Spark Chamber, Optimus uses his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to undo Nemesis damage, while the unconscious minion of Unicron is still receiving a beating from Magnus. Sentinel finally manages to break through, and Optimus greets him, telling him they need to talk...
 
Sentinel Maximus finally breaks through the wall of rubble that was separating him from Primus' chamber.  Optimus Prime greets him, saying "We need to talk."

Synopsis

[edit]

Above Cybertron, Vector Prime and Ramjet draw the swords, with the end looking near and bleak. Sentinel Maximus furiously digs through the rubble to Cybertron's spark core, while Nemesis Prime unleashes the power of the Dead Matrix within. And flying high above, Skyfall hopes for answers soon. Ramjet taunts Vector, as there's nothing he could do now, with only minutes remaining, but Vector simply unleashes his arsenal upon Ramjet, blasting him with Safeguard and using his Cyber Key to disintegrate Ramjet's body. Skyfall rushes to the scene, hoping to prevent the bot with the answer to who he is from being destroyed.

Meanwhile, a portal opens up in Cybertron's spark chamber, as Omega Prime takes Nemesis by surprise. Seizing the Dead Matrix from him, Omega splits into Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, and as Optimus deals with the Dead Matrix, Ultra Magnus beats Nemesis into submission.

Meanwhile, Ramjet still claims to life above, trying to goad one final time that Primus will still die. Unable to kill him, Vector simply remarks that while the balance may be destroyed, the multiverse will still survive, and opens up a portal to the Unicron Singularity, and uses his Cyber Key to push him in. However, Skyfall shows up at the last second, using his forcefield in an attempt to prevent his source of information from being destroyed. Ramjet attempts to grab onto him, but his anti-matter tendril disrupts Skyfalls forcefield, causing an explosion that pushes him into the void.

Back in the Spark Chamber, Optimus uses his Matrix to undo Nemesis damage, while the unconscious minion of Unicron is still receiving a beating from Magnus. Sentinel finally manages to break through, and Optimus greets him, telling him they need to talk...

Notes

[edit]
  • Characters mentioned who do not appear: Unicron and Primus.
  • This is the first part of a new storyline titled "Revelations", despite seemingly being the wrap-up to the first.

Continuity notes

[edit]
  • Optimus and Ultra Magnus show up rather abruptly here, and the presence will not be explained until next chapter.
  • They also seem to already know Sentinel Maximus (who, as next issue will reveal, doesn't seem to know them). At the time of this story's writing, it was likely presumed that Maximus had participated in the Universe War, as 3H Productions lost the Transformers license before getting to finish either Transformers: The Wreckers or Universe. "Wreckers: Finale Part II" would not be published until the year after this story's release, so it was not yet known that Sentinel Maximus had been sent away from his home dimension into this one (as seen previously in "Balancing Act") before the Universe War began.
    • Years later, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would suggest that, at some later point, Sentinel Maximus eventually returns to his home dimension during the Universe War, which would serve to explain how Optimus and Magnus would have first met him prior to their own arrival in this universe.

Transformers references

[edit]
  • The inclusion of Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in this Cybertron story is inspired by the Costco-exclusive re-release of their toys in the Cybertron toyline, but only Magnus is colored to resemble that figure, while Optimus retains his original colors. From the next chapter of the story onward, Magnus reverts to his original color scheme.
