Optimus Prime leads his Autobots back to Cybertron while a disgruntled Bumblebee remains on Earth.
Synopsis
While Skywatch men guard Omega Supreme, Ratchet tells Bumblebee it will take some time to fabricate a leg replacement joint. Bumblebee is just glad to be up and about and jokes with Pennington about having "wheels of his own". The fun is interrupted by Bluestreak, who exclaims that Hot Rod is back from the dead. Indeed, Hot Rod has returned with those thought dead or long missing: Ironhide, Wheelie and Sunstreaker. Bumblebee is flabbergasted while Hot Rod demands to see Optimus. Hot Rod presents the Matrix of Leadership to Optimus and tells the tale of his travels. Optimus christened him Rodimus, and the name Hot Rod was not used again. The other Autobots bonded in the meantime.
Optimus emerged and announced that Cybertron was again habitable, but that Galvatron was there with an army and Prime intends to stop whatever machinations Galvatron has planned. They will travel in Omega Supreme's rocket while his base remains on Earth. All the Autobots except Bumblebee volunteered to help protect their home planet. Bumblebee sulks about being usurped while Optimus tells him that he's still leader, and will abide by his choice. He also told Bumblebee something that angered him, making him announce he's staying on Earth with Magnus and a few others. Optimus and the majority of the Autobots blast off with Omega Supreme toward Cybertron.

Notes
- This story is named after Orphans of the Helix, a science fiction short story by Dan Simmons.
- While Hot Rod has been called "Rodimus" for multiple issues now, as of this issue he is officially christened as such.
Errors
- This issue has several cases of disappearing (or in one case, appearing) Autobot insignias:
- Ironhide is supposed to lack an insignia as he returns to Earth, but one appears on his right shoulder on page 5.
- Optimus Prime lacks his shoulder insignias on pages 7, 9 and 14.
- Sideswipe has a chest insignia on page 9, but not on page 10.
- Bumblebee's insignia is gone on pages 2, 10 and 14.
- Tracks is miscolored as Drift.
- Joe Henderson is colored as a Caucasian person.
- Hot Spot is colored white in both of his panels.
