Synopsis
[edit]Date Index 316.270 AU
Rodimus is alive! Miraculously unaffected by the virus, even! He's confirmed to Apelinq that the rest of the team, and the entire planet's populace, are dead, with Cybertron now completely overrun by mindless drones called "Vehicons". Rodimus reassures Apelinq that, as long as the two of them survive, the Wreckers haven't lost yet!
Featured characters

Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- This journal has the same date index as that of the previous entry, indicating that they both take place on the same day.
- Apelinq swears by the "divine weld", seemingly a new addition to the Transformers mythos, and presumably a legendary device that helped in the creation of the Transformer race.
- Rodimus and the other Wreckers have been missing since they were last heard from in Journal 6.
- It is revealed here that Rodimus has a mysterious immunity to Megatron's virus. This will become a plot point in the next installment.
- It's been hinted at and danced around until now, but the legions of attack drones that Megatron has under his command are at last explicitly confirmed to be none other than the Vehicons (as if there had ever been any doubt beforehand).
Continuity errors
[edit]- Not so much an error as a bit of absurdity: Apelinq claims that Rodimus searched "half the entire planet" looking for survivors, but came up short. Really? He never even once found a hint of Optimus Primal's team? Did he even think to check in Cybertropolis, the central city of Cybertron (and which Journal 4 strongly implied to be the setting of this series thus far), at all? Or did that city just happen to be in the planetary half that he didn’t search? What about the Autobot shuttle that brought Optimus Primal's crew back to Cybertron? Apelinq previously detected its approach to the planet back in Journal 9. Did he not think to cross-reference that information with Rodimus's report? Did Rodimus seemingly invalidate any relevance that ship may have had? Come on, guys!
Transformers references
[edit]- Apelinq mentions that "history has been less than kind to our ranks," in reference to how the Wreckers tended to have a high death toll in the Marvel UK The Transformers comics.
