Synopsis
 Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner |
A collective of seemingly all-knowing entities monitor events and ongoings in the universe.
A monstrous predator travels though space, reawakened and hungry for nourishment, consuming everything on course to Earth. After the massive mechanical menace massacres the planet Lithone, it recycles the materials to create a new soldier: Cyclonus.
An earlier wave of minions, having spread around the universe, had entered a state of hibernation, while the Alpha Drone, Scourge, found its way to Cybertron. It was Scourge who reactivated Shockwave, and Scourge was captured while attempting to save Shockwave from a pack of Sharkticons.
Scourge currently rests on Earth, having been discovered by humans, whom have also recovered the remains of the Constructicons and possibly the Aerialbots.
On Cybertron, the situation has quickly and dramatically changed as Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime dispose of Shockwave.
On Quintessa, protected by Sharkticons and suspiciously feminine looking robots, the narrators are revealed to be the Quintessons, who, for unknown reasons, are angry at Megatron.
On the Planet of Junk, Wreck-Gar recovers vaguely Seeker-esq for the repaired Megatron.
