Overview
Optimus Prime picks up where its predecessor left off: though Galvatron, Sentinel Prime, and Baron Karza have all been defeated, Optimus Prime is still dealing with the fallout of his controversial choice to annex Earth into the Council of Worlds. His recent adventures have proved inspirational enough to recruit a slew of next-generation Autobots from across the Titan colonies; their blind devotion to their leader, combined with the religious fanaticism of Pyra Magna and her Torchbearers, causes friction with the old guard from the days of the Great War – including Prime's former enemy Soundwave, now reluctantly working alongside the Autobots from within their living base Metrotitan.
The uneasy status quo on Earth is thrown into chaos by the arrival of the Junkions: ramshackle refugees seeking to repair their destroyed homeworld using supplies of Ore-13. A newly international G.I. Joe taskforce cordons off the landing site; attempting to mediate between Joe commander Talon, Cybertronian ruler and Council leader Starscream and Junkion leaders Wreck-Gar and Rum-Maj, Optimus enacts a dangerous diplomatic gamble in an attempt to force Earth to join the Council in the hopes of helping humans and Junkions alike.
