Overview
Infestation 2 is a sequel to the Hearts of Steel story instead of the original Infestation arc. The mini-series tells the story of how, due to a combination of magic and the influence of the works of H. P. Lovecraft, the Elder Gods rend themselves free of their prison outside of space-time, and wreak havoc across multiple universes. The Transformers portion of the event reunites Bumblebee with his ally Tobias Muldoon, and the Autobot team is joined by the inventor Nikola Tesla. Optimus Prime is brought into the story after being mostly absent from the original "Hearts of Steel" storyline; reviving the Autobot leader is a major plotpoint, as he is the only one capable of standing against the eldritch monstrosities that threaten humanity and Cybertronians alike. The series keeps the "steam-punk" aesthetic of the previous installment in this continuity, and culminates in a showdown between Optimus Prime and a horror of cyclopean proportions.
