| In ancient history, the being later referred to as [[The Fallen]] was encased in a sarcophagus by his [[Trans-dimensional AllSpark creations|brothers]] after he attempted to destroy them in a bid to seize the powerful, life-giving artifact known as the [[All Spark]]. To free himself from his ages-long confinement, he required a [[harvester]], a device that could drain the energy of a [[sun]] to replenish the All Spark. After much time passed, his sarcophagus, now a ancient relic, was discovered by the science teams led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], and was seized by the increasingly volatile Protector of Cybertron, Megatron. The Fallen seduced Megatron with dreams of power, ordering him to obliterate all that defied them, including Optimus, his mostly non-combat scientists, and soldiers who did not join Megatron's new "Decepticon" army. As part of his plan to escape his prison, the Fallen commanded Megatron to build a large interstellar vessel called the ''Nemesis'' to search for a harvester. When the ship was complete, it was launched with a crew that consisted of the bulk of the Decepticon forces and the relic. Megatron pleaded to be able to go along, but the relic ordered him to stay behind to rule Cybertron. With the majority of the Decepticons gone with the ''Nemesis'', ruling Cybertron proved difficult, as the Autobots put up a strong resistance.

| After many years of hard fighting and the Autobots finally losing the civil war, Optimus Prime decided to capture the All Spark and hurl it into space, so that Megatron could not possess it and corrupt it. Megatron immediately followed the All Spark on his own with his interstellar [[alternate mode]]. Along the way he found the ''Nemesis'', adrift and abandoned by all but the relic. The relic ordered Megatron to continue his pursuit of the All Spark since, once freed, the Cube would seek out a harvester. Meanwhile, Optimus Prime and his crew prepared to follow Megatron in their [[Ark (Movie)|own ship]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| *The ''Nemesis'' as depicted in [[Defiance issue 4]] looks the same as [[Nemesis (Movie)|the ship Starscream uses]] in [[The Reign of Starscream]], but that is unlikely to have any significance. This was due to "Defiance" artists [[Dan Khanna]] and [[Andrew Griffith]] recycling the design of the Decepticon ship seen in "The Reign of Starscream". The ship's designer [[Alex Milne]] did not intend for this ship to represent any version of the ''Nemesis''.
