Overview
In the wake of the confrontation with the Decepticon Justice Division on Necroworld, the marooned Team Rodimus attempts to return to the Lost Light with the help of the "Disappeared"—the various time travelling Transformers plucked from across time and space. Among them are runaway blacksmith-turned adventurer Anode and her partner Lug, who struggle to adjust to the present day as they deals with demons from her past.
Before Team Rodimus can get offworld, a rogue geobomb, courtesy of the Galactic Council shunts the planet into an entirely different universe. When Rodimus and a small crew of Autobots attempt to return to Cybertron, they find themselves in the middle of an alternate Cybertron, where Megatron was never born and Functionism reigns supreme. The Lost Light crew find themselves embroiled in the Council's plot to consolidate their power by crushing the heroic Anti-Vocationist League and their supporters. With the help of the native universe's Rung — his true function finally revealed — the Autobots manage to foil their plan and return home... but accidentally leave Megatron behind. Taking command of the AVL, Megatron and his old friend Terminus start their revolution anew.
The crew of the Lost Light finally get offworld, but Tailgate, his mutating outlier powers growing increasingly destructive and erratic, volunteers to stay behind in the hopes that a cure can be found for his condition. Fangry, his pride wounded by an earlier encounter with the super-powered Autobot, takes advantage of the situation to bury him alive for another six million years.
