Lio Convoy returns to Cybertron, only to find it less than welcoming.
Synopsis
Millennia after the end of humanity's time on Earth, it is the end of the Second Great War on Cybertron as Lio Convoy (in the form of the Legendary Green Lion) and Big Convoy bring an end to Unicron, who has taken on Galvatron's form. Vector Sigma, in gratitude, grants both Lio and Big the title of "Great Convoy", but the latter turns down the honor, preferring to roam the galaxy as a loner.
After Cybertron is rebuilt in the wake of Unicron's rampage, Great Lio Convoy announces to a gathering of Destrons and Cybertrons of the dissolution of the old factions, of the age of Convoys, culminating in the foundation of a new unified faction, the Maximals—led by the Prime Leaders. Magmatron approves of the reorganization, noting that "Prime" was a title from before the Great War that can apply to Cybertron and Destron alike while "Convoy" is an exclusively Cybertron title. After rechristening himself as "Leo Prime", the former Lio Convoy goes forth as Senior Supreme Commander to take on any threat, including the Unicron of another universe.
In this other universe, Go Prime confronts the "interloper", explaining that he has split the timeline as part of an experiment to save it from a "crisis". Leo Prime and L.P. are distracted, however, by the fact that the quantum gate they have used is being used by the Predacons of this world to travel to the G1 World! Returning to his native universe, Leo Prime meets up with Delta Magnus, who handles the Predacon extermination with his Primal Vanguard, and Bluebolt, who has been upgraded into a Transformer in their own right by God Magnus. Leo Prime gets chewed out by the Prime Council for allowing the Predacons to invade their universe, but Megatronus the Fallen Prime lays words of gratitude for Leo Prime, who forgave him for his invasion of Cybertron from his own universe long ago, and grants him amnesty. The Fallen sends Leo Prime on his next mission: to investigate, with the Dimensional Patrol, the Legends World created by the Zamojin. There, Megatronus explains, is an energy they can potentially use to counterbalance Angolmois Energy. Despite Leo Prime's reassurance that little remains of it, the Fallen is insistent—Angolmois Energy created this universe, and those that possess its power are capable of ending this universe, as happened to the previous universe. Thus, another energy to replace it for the G1 World is necessary. Leo Prime acquiesces. After Leo leaves, Quintus Prime and Megatronus set in motion the "Anti-Angolmois Energy Act" to rid the universe of Angolmois Energy.
In the streets of Cybertron, Hellscream and Max-B fall victim to the act, having their Angolmois Energy drained by the Primal Vanguard and reverted to their prior forms. Gigastrom, Dirgegun, and Thrust manage to flee. The Primal Vanguard finds the pure-Angolmois Energy Transformer known as Lio Junior, but Quintus Prime keeps him as is to serve as bait for his father...
In the resurrected Legends World, Leo Prime catches wind of his son's capture and bids farewell to his alternate self and his son. Concluding that the Zamojin's spirit energy will not impede the universe's decay, Leo Prime returns to Gaia with Bluebolt, where he uses the traces of Angolmois Energy there to retake the form of an old friend, once again becoming Lio Convoy, the Legendary Green Lion. Throughout the universe, disasters unfold and the Stunticons take the Nemesis to a black hole to find alternate sources of energy.
Bluebolt and Lio Convoy return to Cybertron, finding it has been converted to a factory to make another form of energy. Confronting the two, Megatronus explains that, as Vector Sigma is the current self of the Oracle, a being of Angolmois Energy himself, they took the supercomputer prisoner. Lio Convoy accuses the Fallen of fearing the power that once defeated him, but the democratically elected Prime claims that he will never accept the energy of Unicron the destroyer. With the help of Bluebolt, Lio Convoy manages to take down Megatronus's accomplices, but the Fallen Prime reveals his new energy—the Allspark itself! Putting the energy of their race's lifeforce in a container, Megatronus seeks to move on to the next universe with said energy, bringing over their "finest citizens". His ranting is cut short as Lio Convoy stabs him, killing the villain. Lio Convoy swears to take Angolmois Energy to save the current world, giving up his life to revive the fallen Bluebolt. Distraught at his friend's death, they resolve to take his body to Gaia and use its Angolmois Energy to resurrect the lion.
Later, Untite sets a course for the Predacon base on Junkion, moaning that Dark Amber Leo Prime has eaten up all of the cargo on his ship. Suddenly, an image of Lio Convoy emanates from Dark Amber's Energon Matrix and the two selves of the lion finally meet in person. Lio Convoy enjoins Leo Prime to save the universe together, thus proving the righteousness of Angolmois Energy.

Notes
Continuity notes
- The first three pages retell Unicron's attack on Cybertron at the climax of Beast Wars Neo.
- Heinrad wearing a cloak might be a callback to his clothing in "Controverse".
- The bio for MP-48+ Dark Amber Leo Prime revived the concept of "Prime Leaders" (based on a throwaway line of dialogue from Beast Wars) to explain Lio Convoy's switch to the name "Leo Prime" for the Japanese release of Transformers: Prime in line with Hasbro name style.
- Leo Prime's friendship with Lio Convoy and Lio Junior in the Legends World was depicted in Leo Prime's pack-in Legends chapter. He said goodbye to them in the Legends epilogue.
- Bluebolt started out as God Magnus's non-living weapon in Car Robots before being given an independent body and mind in End of G1 Universe in advance of receiving a new toy with HasLab Omega Prime.
- Ope comes from Hydra's self-titled spotlight episode.
- Lawbhammer was introduced in God Neptune's online tie-in comic for Generations Selects.
- The Fallen recalls his attack on Cybertron in "Train Wars".
- The Fallen states that he and the other Primes were elected to their positions of authority, aligning with how the Beast Wars episode "Chain of Command" established that Maximal leaders are democratically elected through secret ballot.
- The concluding "next time" caption blurb says the events of Velocitron Speedia 500 are next.
Transformers references
- Great Lio Convoy's cloak seems to be based on his Furai Model kit design from Flame Toys.
- Incidentally, Lio Convoy's reorganization of the Cybertron and Destron factions into one "Maximal" race-faction is similar to the 2006 IDW Beast Wars comic continuity, wherein "Cybertron" was a (failed) attempt to unify the Maximals and Predacons into one race-faction, with the "Destrons" as a reactionary rebellion.
- The red virtual redecos of Legacy Beachcomber that make up the Primal Vanguard grunts are based on Powerdrive, the previous incarnation of the current Delta Magnus.
- The name "Prime Council" (プライム評議会) may be a counterpoint to the "Convoy Council" (コンボイ評議会) from the Beast Wars Neo manga, set in a different continuity.
- Two moons appear orbiting Cybertron. Given the destruction of Moonbase One and Moonbase Two in The Transformers: The Movie, might these be Moonbase 3 and Moon Base Four, which were pioneered by other continuities?
- The Quantum Gate is based on the Quantum Dial accessory included with Canon/Transformers Refraktor R5.
- Megatronus's AllSpark is the accessory included with Canon/Transformers Nemesis Prime R5.
Other notes
- The title of this chapter obviously ties in with the Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline.
