All the pieces are put in place in preparation for D-Void's next move.
Synopsis
On the planet Dykayra, Nemesis Prime attacks Galvatron, explaining that D-Void revived him so he could get his revenge of Galvatron for betraying and killing him. When Galvatron's minions try to protect him, Nemesis destroys two of them and absorbs their energy, then transforms into a gigantic horrible beast under the direct control of D-Void itself. It kills several Sweeps, but Galvatron will not be underestimated, and confronts D-Void's avatar on his own while ordering Cyclonus and Scourge to summon his main army. While he is unable to defeat "Nemesis", he manages to distract him long enough for the army to arrive and force him through the Dead Universe portal, which Galvatron then destroys.
But Galvatron knows that what they defeated was just an emissary of D-Void, and the real threat is still coming. He travels to Earth to recruit Optimus Prime and his troops for his cause, but his offer is rejected. Despite this letdown, he continues with his plan by sending his army to the planet Cybertron, D-Void's first target and thus their first line of defense. As scout units are sent out to search for life signs on the abandoned planet, one Sweep locates Rodimus and Wheelie, and breaks orders to attack them. He is shot down, but is quickly repaired and scolded by Galvatron. The Autobots, who know Galvatron as an evil maniac, are horrified to see him in control of an army, and blasts off in a spaceship despite Galvatron's attempts to stop them and teach them of his intentions. He ultimately lets them go, as he's got what he came for: Cybertron. He will defend this planet from D-Void for the sake of the Transformers... and fate of the universe.

Quotes
" This... unlife that was threatening Earth. A zombie virus. It intrigues me. It manifested in robot life forms too."
"It was irrelevant and inefficient"
Jhiaxus and Galvatron disagree on the merits of Infestation
Notes
- This issue both retells part of issue 2 of The Transformers: Infestation and issue 20 of the ongoing series, showing events from those comics from Galvatron's point of view.
Errors
- One of the panels that recalls Infestation retains the original comic's error of calling Jhiaxus "Jihaxus".
- Since when does Galvatron know Rodimus? Of all the Autobots Galvatron has met and learned the names of so far, Rodimus is not one of them. And how is he aware of his recent name change from Hot Rod anyway?
