the Autobots and Decepticons was directly responsible for the
cataclysm, and in flashback we discover that a single demonic figure

powerful that only the combined might of the Autobots and Decepticons
could stop it.


Both Autobots and Decepticons appear to have large,
star-spanning armies. Similar Decepticon infiltration cells to the one
portrayed in ''Infiltration'' are seen on the planets &lt;a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nebulos" title="Nebulos"&gt;Nebulos&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Varas_Centralus" title="Varas Centralus"&gt;Varas Centralus&lt;/a&gt;.
