Overview
[edit]Another Light is, broadly speaking, the culmination of every dangling storyline that the Transformers Collectors' Club has told since its inception in 2005, bringing everything to a conclusive, but open, ending. Set in the Shattered Glass reality, it is a "Shattered" version of The Transformers: The Movie that directly follows up on the BotCon 2012 comic "Invasion" and the 2013 club comic arc Beast Wars Shattered Glass, incorporating resolutions to the story of Nexus Prime and his search for the Star Saber, begun in the very first Club story back in 2005, and to the tale of Rarified Energon, introduced in 2007. Towards its climax, Fun Publications' 2015 TransTech Facebook story blogs even tied into the comic as its storyline evolved to affect the entire multiverse.
The story arc's title references the starship Lost Light in IDW's ongoing The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye comic series. What it refers to in-story, however, is something you probably did not expect.
Synopsis
[edit]Departing prehistoric "Shatteredverse" Earth with the recovered Origin Matrix via an interdimensional portal, Ultra Mammoth and his crew arrive on the present-day Shatteredverse Cybertron and ally themselves with the native heroic Decepticons. This strange mirror universe has just recently become home to Autobot refugees from their home universe, the "Classicsverse", as well as the entire Classicsverse Earth, transplanted there to escape the destruction of the Classicsverse at the hands of the Shatteredverse Ultra Magnus. Soon, the heroes are forced to split into two groups to deal with threats that emerge on the two Earths.
Mammoth takes a team to the Classicsverse Earth to stop his evil counterpart's continued schemes. During Mammoth and Magnus's battle, Nexus Prime arrives on the last step of his multiversal journey and reclaims the Origin Matrix, which turns out to be the final piece of the fragmented Star Saber. Using the reformed Saber, Nexus banishes Ultra Magnus to another dimension, then uses the combined power of the Saber and the Terminus Blade to heal the damage Magnus's actions have wrought upon the multiverse. As a consequence of this strengthening of the walls between dimensions, multiversal singularities cease to exist, leading a "good" Unicron and an "evil" Primus to come into being in the Shatteredverse.
Simultaneously, Galvatron leads reinforcements to the Shatteredverse Earth to defend Decepticon City against an attack by Optimus Prime's evil Autobots. Rodimus interferes with Optimus and Galvatron's duel, allowing Galvatron to claim victory; then, as the Autobots flee back to Cybertron, Rodimus has Optimus's wounded body ejected from Sky Lynx. Optimus is found by Unicron and recreated as the heroic Nova Prime, and is then sent to Cybertron to dispatch Rodimus. Rodimus survives the assassination attempt, and is recruited by the evil Primus, who then transforms Cybertron into his body. Primus attacks the Classicsverse Earth, but the Rarified Energon hidden on the planet is revealed to contain the lifeforce of Gaea, long-forgotten sister to Primus and Unicron. Gaea teleports the Classicverse humans to the safety of another Earth in a parallel dimension, then transforms Earth into her body and destroys Primus in battle. Afterwards, Gaea transforms back into planet mode, becoming a New Cybertron that is jointly ruled over by the allied Shatteredverse Decepticons and Classicsverse Autobots.
