*Last seen in [[The World of Tomorrow|issue #33]], Omega Supreme is still offline and undergoing repair following the injuries he sustained in [[The End of the Beginning of the World|issue #11]].

*Optimus recalls how the Matrix glowed when he first visited [[Caminus]] in [[The Sum and Its Parts|''Windblade'' #1]]—something that was almost certainly a goof at the time, but which is here repositioned as a mysterious event in-universe.

*Optimus recounts the mythic story of the Matrix's supposed creation, as detailed in the [[Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|2012 ''More than Meets the Eye'' annual]]. He also mentions that it was once called the "Creation Matrix" (see "Transformers references", below), which we first learned in "[[Chaos Theory Part 2]]".

While Optimus Prime encounters the Torchbearers, the Decepticons make their play for control of the space bridge.

Synopsis

Soundwave welcomes Cosmos aboard the Jupiter commune, but can do little to comfort the distraught Autobot, since even his super-senses prove unable to detect any trace of the lost Autobots. He assures Cosmos that the Decepticons are not responsible for the attack on the Ark-27, but Cosmos is given cause to think he is lying when Galvatron contacts the commune with orders to prepare to take the Ark and its space bridge. Soundwave insists that the Decepticons are not the guilty party, but that they would be foolish not to seize an opportunity placed before them...

On Earth, Blackrock regales Spike with a story of his youth, sounding nuttier by the second as he claims that a "black angel" visited him as a child and set him on his current path. Blackrock marvels at the destructive capability of a single Ark, wondering what it could do to Earth now that the Transformers are not distracted by being at war with one another; Spike points out that the existence of such a threat is exactly the reason he should release him and put him in charge, but Blackrock sees through the ruse, and continues to insist that Spike must help him figure out who or what he really is.

On Cybertron, Optimus Prime and Aileron visit the Sea of Rust, where they observe the miniature singularity that consumed the area. Emerging from the cave in which the singularity rests, they are confronted by the Torchbearers, who, unlike most Camiens, actually seem affronted by Optimus's claim to the Prime title. Optimus, for his part, is curious as to why the Torchbearers have left their planet and the Mistress of Flame behind, but when they question his right to even ask such a question, a fight breaks out between Prime and the six-strong team. After a brief scuffle, however, Prime realizes that the Torchbearers are not trying to kill him; instead, they then combine into Victorion, who immobilizes Prime with her gravity-control powers. At the combiner's request, Optimus recounts the supposed history of the Matrix of Leadership—from its legendary origins as the crystal prison of Solomus, to its time in the hands of the Knights of Cybertron, to forging of the Star Saber around it by Solus Prime—but stresses that he does not believe any of it, considering the talisman to be a piece of technology, not magic. Victorion scoffs at the fact that the holder of the holiest item on Cybertron does not believe in it, and spins a tale of the thirteen Primes. The name of thirteenth and final member of the group, she says, is unknown, a 'bot referred to only as "The Arisen"; the Mistress of Flame professed to know who The Arisen was, and it was this sacrilegious claim that drove the Torchbearers to remove themselves from her command. As a disciple of Solus Prime, Victorion claims the Matrix belongs to her... but for now, she intends only to use her skills as a creator to build up Optimus himself.

At the spaceport in Iacon, Zetca grows concerned when he spots a large group of Decepticons moving through the area. To his credit, Tracks puts old prejudices aside and thinks nothing of it...until Zetca realizes that the Decepticons are headed for the space bridge chamber, and that Tracks's brother Needlenose is leading them. When Starscream brushes off Tracks's concerns, Tracks heads down to confront his little brother on his own. Needlenose tries to bury the hatchet and invites Tracks to join them, but Tracks refuses and is about to contact Optimus Prime... until Brawl blasts him! Tracks collapses, Needlenose kicks his brother's fallen body, and the Decepticons move out... all just a little too late for Starscream to finally have an attack of conscience brought on by another discussion with the imaginary Bumblebee, leading him to inform Windblade of what is going on.

Aboard the Ark-7, Arcee, Sideswipe, and Alpha Trion have finally succeeded in fighting their way through the vessel's commandeered defenses to the space bridge chamber. Unfortunately, just as Arcee pries the doors open, Needlenose and the Decepticons come pouring through the space bridge, intending to capture the ship and the bridge so they can use it to transport Decepticons straight from Cybertron to the commune. On the commune itself, when Cosmos expresses his horror upon learning their plan, he finds himself surrounded by Decepticon weapons—but Soundwave quickly orders the 'Cons to lower their guns, intent that their victory shall be won by their ideals, not their firepower. The dismayed Cosmos slumps to his knees, and wishes he had just stayed with the one true friend he has, his little buddy D.0.C....

...who has, at that very moment, infiltrated the Earth Defense Command's Bikini Atoll base and come face-to-face with Buster!

Quotes

"When I was a child, a black angel appeared before me. It spoke in a language I had never heard, but I understood. It showed me a world of rust deserts and infinite darkness. So I got that going for me. Which is nice."

Blackrock


"Not everything is about you, He-Who-Would-Be-Prime. We turn our backs on nothing. We came here to face our history and change our future. Who are you to question our path?"
"I am Optimus Prime."

Pyra Magna and Optimus Prime


"You're my brother. I care about you. You're making a mistake again."
"Loving Horr-Bull wasn't a mistake."

Tracks and Needlenose

Notes

Continuity notes

  • Optimus reveals that the Sea of Rust is simply the modern name for what was once called the Rust Spot, a location he visited in Spotlight: Orion Pax.
  • Juuust peeping in on the left-hand side of the second panel on page 6 is Sizzle. He hasn't been seen in ages, but he's helping to run the spaceport—a job he's quietly been working since the very first issue.
  • Tracks makes a passing mention of a ship that's gone missing, evidently referring to the one the Decepticons used to get to the commune last issue, which they rechristened the Peace Without Tyranny.
  • Skyburst and Stormclash make a vague reference to the events of The Transformers: Redemption, when the former note that "nobody's come this way since..." and the latter cuts in "...nobody's come this way for a while."
  • Last seen in issue #33, Omega Supreme is still offline and undergoing repair following the injuries he sustained in issue #11. Starscream goes through a quick rundown of the complex chain of conspirators responsible for his condition (Prowl, controlled by Bombshell, working for Megatron, to frame Shockwave, in order to trick Starscream and remove Omega Supreme as an obstacle).
  • Optimus recalls how the Matrix glowed when he first visited Caminus in Windblade #1—something that was almost certainly a goof at the time, but which is here repositioned as a mysterious event in-universe.
  • Optimus recounts the mythic story of the Matrix's supposed creation, as detailed in the 2012 More than Meets the Eye annual. He also mentions that it was once called the "Creation Matrix" (see "Transformers references", below), which we first learned in "Chaos Theory Part 2".
  • Swift is amongst the Decepticons when they take the space bridge. This goes uncommented on in-story, but is doubtlessly related to her recently-formed relationship with Barricade.

Transformers references

Real-world references

  • As with the previous issue, this story's title is a piece of real-world celestial mechanics terminology. A "lagrange" point is a location at which the gravitational forces of two large celestial bodies equal the centrifugal force on a smaller body between them.

Errors

  • Soundwave says that the "black egg" surrounding the Ark-7, established last issue to be from the time of Galvatron's youth, is technology from "Sentinel's era". Unless that's a seed being planted for something (Sentinel Prime will be returning for the "Titans Return" storyline in 2016), he should presumably be referring to "Nova's era", since Nova Prime was the one who lived at the same time as Galvatron and the Thirteen Primes.

Other trivia

  • Victorion makes the first use of the gravity powers chosen for her by fans as part of the poll that resulted in her creation.
