Meanwhile, back on [[Cybertron (planet)|New Cybertron]] in the "[[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|Shatteredverse]]", [[Megatron (SG)|Galvatron]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Nova Prime]], and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Mammoth]] go over reports on potential renewed threats to the populace from [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Classics|Megatron]] and [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]]. [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], watching over the meeting, is greeted by the [[Acolyte of Unicron|Acolytes of Unicron]], having been requested by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]. Grimlock angrily demands that the three take him to see [[Gaea]], despite their protests. At the core, Grimlock explains that he knows that Gaea had sent the humans to another dimension to keep them safe, and insists that they need them once more, believing that only with them can New Cybertron stay down the right path. Gaea, however, disagrees; while the humans helped prevent Grimlock's group of Cybertronians from heading down a dark path before, New Cybertron is, at last, coming to a proper balance; all that remains are a few straggling clouds. Gaea then explains that, in the universe she sent the humans too, ''Homo sapiens'' never evolved. The war for Cybertron continued without them, and having detected the planet's surface as barren, with few remaining Cybertronians left, she believed that they would be safe there...but this was not the case. Gaea explains to a shocked Grimlock that, in order to protect humanity, she sent the Autobot [[Pretender]]s with them, having been trained to be the guardians Earth needs by their previous experiences...

Back on this alternate Earth, Megatron tells the Autobots that, when the time comes, the Pretenders will need to be ready to protect humanity. Unfortunately, that time is now, as a laser blast strikes the bus, knocking it off of the overpass. Falling into the [[Parque Zoologico de Merida]], the Autobots, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], and [[Lisa|Elizabeth]] help the other passengers get out the bus, as Megatron points towards the source of the blast, the thing he has been running from: the ultimate combiner, [[Thunder Mayhem]]! The Autobots shed there disguises to engage the massive Decepticon, leaving Spike and Elizabeth behind to help get out the remaining passengers. Unable to get through to the emergency services phonelines, Elizabeth calls the personal number of the detective from earlier. Meanwhile, Spike helps out the last few passengers; only two more are left on board, but as Spike tries to help them get off, the bus tips over into the gorilla exhibit. The three plummet to the ground...only for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Garry the Gorilla]] to leap to their rescue, much to the shock of Spike!

Riding a bus back to Merida, Vroom is still incredulous at the revelation of this universe's Megatron. Metalhawk accuses the former Decepticon leader of being a coward, but Megatron grimly claims that he is a survivor. He may very well be the last "true" Decepticon in his universe, and in his eyes, he must stay alive to keep the Decepticon culture alive, though Metalhawk has his doubts...
Meanwhile, back on New Cybertron in the "Shatteredverse", Galvatron, Nova Prime, and Ultra Mammoth go over reports on potential renewed threats to the populace from Megatron and Rodimus. Grimlock, watching over the meeting, is greeted by the Acolytes of Unicron, having been requested by the Dinobot. Grimlock angrily demands that the three take him to see Gaea, despite their protests. At the core, Grimlock explains that he knows that Gaea had sent the humans to another dimension to keep them safe, and insists that they need them once more, believing that only with them can New Cybertron stay down the right path. Gaea, however, disagrees; while the humans helped prevent Grimlock's group of Cybertronians from heading down a dark path before, New Cybertron is, at last, coming to a proper balance; all that remains are a few straggling clouds. Gaea then explains that, in the universe she sent the humans too, Homo sapiens never evolved. The war for Cybertron continued without them, and having detected the planet's surface as barren, with few remaining Cybertronians left, she believed that they would be safe there...but this was not the case. Gaea explains to a shocked Grimlock that, in order to protect humanity, she sent the Autobot Pretenders with them, having been trained to be the guardians Earth needs by their previous experiences...
Back on this alternate Earth, Megatron tells the Autobots that, when the time comes, the Pretenders will need to be ready to protect humanity. Unfortunately, that time is now, as a laser blast strikes the bus, knocking it off of the overpass, falling into the Parque Zoologico de Merida and coming to a stop, precariously leaning over the gorilla exhibit. The Autobots, Spike, and Elizabeth help the other passengers get out the bus, as Megatron points towards the source of the blast, the thing he has been running from: the ultimate combiner, Thunder Mayhem! The Autobots shed there disguises to engage the massive Decepticon, leaving Spike and Elizabeth behind to help get out the remaining passengers. Unable to get through to the emergency services phonelines, Elizabeth calls the personal number of the detective from earlier. Meanwhile, Spike helps out the last few passengers; only two more are left on board, but as Spike tries to help them get off, the bus finally falls into the gorilla exhibit. The three begin to plummet to the ground...only for Garry the Gorilla to leap to their rescue, much to the shock of Spike!
