It's Mammoth versus Magnus on Classicsverse Earth as Ultra Magnus's scheme comes closer to fruition!
Synopsis
Onboard the Annex, Galvatron apologizes to Ultra Mammoth over the viewscreen for being unable to provide support, and thanks him for allowing Grimlock to come with them. Mammoth is understanding, wishing him luck, although he informs him Grimlock does as he pleases. As the transmission ends, Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt, having been reformatted into vehicular forms by Needlenose and Spinister, prepare to board the stellar spanner to join the fight against the evil Ultra Magnus. Stonecruncher and Excavator fire it up, although their mentions of a test drone exploding does little to reassure Prowl. A beam launches into the sky, sending them to a small canyon on Earth. Silverbolt arrives in total darkness, assuming they've been destroyed, but Ironhide tells him to open his optics, as heroic Autobots and Decepticons engage with evil Junkions and Autobots. Mammoth is annoyed that Treadshot started the attack without him-Treadshot replies by telling him he couldn't let them get away, and that he wouldn't follow orders from a Magnus anyway. Mammoth tells him to stick to calling him by his new name, and engages his evil counterpart. The evil Magnus manages to knock Treadshot out of the fight as he squares off against Mammoth; when his heroic counterpart brings up his issues with authority, Magnus angrily informs him that his brother has no authority over him, and soon, he won't have it over anyone. Magnus reveals that while the universes affected by his destruction of Mammoth's homeworld have been destroyed, their power hasn't, and is spread across the multiverse. Using the Rarefied Energon as a magnet in tandem with a collector built by the Junkions, he plans to use this power to conquer Cybertron. Mammoth, no longer having any illusions about bringing his evil counterpart to the side of light, blasts him back with his cannon, but is still unable to pull the trigger on someone who is essentially himself. Magnus takes this opportunity, slashing Mammoth's chest with the Terminus Blade, revealing the Origin Matrix within. However, the energies of the Matrix and the Blade begin to interact, and a surge is sent through the sword; Mammoth reveals that Magnus isn't the only one with an artifact of the Thirteen, and the surge moves through Magnus, causing him great pain...

Quotes
"The only thing about you that reminds me of myself is your face...it looks like mine used to. And I want that face back." --Ultra Magnus on Ultra Mammoth.
Notes
- Characters mentioned include: Optimus Prime, Primus, Shattered Glass Grimlock, and the Thirteen.
Continuity notes
- Treadshot's hatred of his universe's Ultra Magnus was first seen in "Invasion".
Transformers references
- Scoop and Warpath have been rebuilt into their Generations toy bodies since the events of "Invasion". Meanwhile, Silverbolt's new vehicular form is his Generations Combiner Wars toy.
- Prowl and Ironhide, on the other hand, now sport designs borrowed from their Animated counterparts, tweaked somewhat for a G1 aesthetic. Prowl takes the preliminary design seen here at left and renders it in the finalized black-and-gold color scheme whilst Ironhide uses his Animated counterpart's design from the cancelled fourth season.
- Shattered Glass Stonecruncher was a Micromaster in all his previous appearances but looks to be a full-sized Decepticon in this story. His entirely new body, separation from "Team Astrotrain", and new job, partner, and specialty call into question whether this is the same Stonecruncher or another Decepticon with the same name. It would not be until "Coalescence" that Stonecruncher was confirmed to have a penchant for chassis modification.
