Synopsis

After terminating Ultra Magnus on the Planet of Junk, Cyclonus and Scourge pledge loyalty to Galvatron as holder of the Matrix. Galvatron orders the both of them to go and destroy the remaining Autobots. The one with the highest headcount will be his second-in-command. They depart.

Hot Rod, Kup, Wheelie, and the Dinobots leave Quintessa in a stolen Quintesson ship. Wheelie tracks Ultra Magnus's ship using its last known speed and trajectory.

Cyclonus plants a beacon into the Rayzor Nebula, which causes Scourge and his Sweeps to go on a wild goose chase thinking it is a genuine Autobot distress signal.

Hot Rod's ship arrives at the wreckage of Ultra Magnus's ship. Kup and Wheelie conclude that the nosecone was separated and landed on the Planet of Junk. They are attacked by Cyclonus. Inspired by his brief contact with the Matrix, Hot Rod invokes the Challenge of Aria-Bellum with Cyclonus. The two fight in single combat inside the ship's anterior propulsion silo. When Hot Rod starts to win, Cyclonus flees, admitting he is acting dishonorably. Meanwhile, Kup detected an Autobot science vessel in the nearby Rayzor Nebula and asks Grapple and Tracks to make themselves visible. This draws Scourge and the Sweeps into the combat. Scourge notices that Cyclonus is fighting Autobots and attacks Cyclonus, allowing the Autobots to escape. Hot Rod's ship lands on the Planet of Junk.

  • Most characters who have or are going to have a toy in either the Reveal the Shield or Generations lines use their new toy designs, while characters who aren't getting a new toy in either of those lines use their G1 character model.

Boo, are you trying to hint at something?
  • Grapple is called "Grapple" instead of his Hunt for the Decepticons name "Grappel". Whew.
  • The troops Unicron promised to provide for Cyclonus never materialized.
  • Hot Rod/Rodimus is never called by name. This may be intentional since this comic set in the cartoon continuity where his name is "Hot Rod".

Errors
