Synopsis

Humans have discovered the Transformers again after a year and a half of searching. Decepticons and Autobots are captured by a human organization and used as metallic puppets of war. Grimlock leads Autobots and Decepticons in a slaughter of humans at an oil plant—slaughter is shown! The U.S. Government contacts the only person on record as ever having known about transformers—Spike Witwicky, who currently is a working man taking care of his infant son, Daniel.

We learn that the Autobots had united with humans to defeat the Decepticons. Together, the two races built a giant ship known as the Ark II, which they planed to transport themselves and the captive Decepticons back to Cybertron. Also aboard was a handful of earth scientists and Sparkplug Witwicky. The Ark II exploded before exiting Earth's atmosphere and no humans survived.

Concluding the issue, the U.S. reveals that it has found a transformer, its dramatically placed final image on last page (sorry can't spoil the epicness—also the collected volumes do not present this image in the same way—losing a lot of the dramatic impact.)

Quotes

We have a transformer of our own!

Really!? Which one!?
