Landquake and company chill out with a most groovy visitor!

Synopsis

Landquake, Breakaway, and Topsin are baffled—the other robots around them cannot be detected or moved. A strange creature introducing himself as the Quintesson Aquarius explains that they're in a bubble of slow time, and that he is the one who brought the trio here. When they protest that Alpha Trion was responsible for their presence here, Aquarius says that things aren't always what they seem. After conferring with his friends, Landquake agrees to listen to the Quintesson's tale.

The Quintessons, he explains, are explorers. They've had a covert research post on Cybertron for a long time, mostly keeping a low profile, but occasionally taking "more direct action" (such as, apparently, killing off Fortress Maximus). But now, Optimus Prime's Omega Doom project is too big for even the Quintessons to handle....

Optimus Prime consults with Ironhide, regarding the scheduling and security for Project: Omega Doom, while Grimlock chows down on Blurr's shoulder. The project will let Optimus Prime and the Autobots build a galaxy-wide empire; success will mean that Ironhide gets a star system of his own to rule. And the universe will surrender, or see its very stars extinguished...

...which ends Aquarius's recap. He's certain that the trio can stop the project, along with Skyfall (who, as Topspin helpfully points out, is dead) and "the fifth". What's more, Aquarius knows who the fifth is, and where to find him—namely, with Megatron. Explication has to end at that point, however; the slow time bubble is expiring, and Computron rips his way into the building.

Elsewhere, Alpha Trion is in contact with one of his allies. Both of their assassins are in place, and the strike will happen today: Megatron and Optimus will both die! With that accomplished, Cybertron will belong to Alpha Trion, while Earth goes to... Rodimus Prime.
