Standing at an undisclosed location, he summons his [[mini-con]] [[Laserbeak]] and orders it to infiltrate the local Autobot headquarters.

Yst, in all rights, is like a duplicate of Earth with inhabitants that resemble a Star Trek alien race.

[[Unicron]] is shown as a small orb before exploding the planet and his new form is simply shown against debris from that planet and nothing specific enough to determine scale or perspective. Given that the black hole stems from a balance in universal energies, the rebirth of a planetary Unicron should have solved this, but we know how the Cybertron story ends, so it makes sense that he is reborn as a regular Transformer, and not yet that enormous dark balance he once served as. Also, with Hasbro being so specific about the new Unicron's character handling, I doubt he's a planet-size Transformer yet.

Standing outside the Iacon Archives, Soundwave summons Laserbeak and orders it to retrieve the Dead Matrix. Laserbeak enters stealth mode and successfully retrieves it.

After travelling to the Unicron Singularity, Soundwave alters its wave harmonics and throws it into the black hole. Immediately, a glowing lifeforce emerges and greets Soundwave. Soundwave addresses his lord before it travels 700 lightyears away to a nearby planet named Yst. As the lifeforce penetrates the planet, it narrates its agena, explaining at length who it is. Yst explodes into chaos and war as the inhabitants begin to tear each other apart. This culminates in the planet's destruction.
