Synopsis
Betrayal
Several months after the defeat of Unicron, Rodimus Prime announces plans to send out teams of explorers to prepare for future menaces. Over the protests of Skids and Perceptor, Rodimus defends his policy of "aggressive caution". Glyph is looking forward to her mission, and is introduced to Tap-Out, her bodyguard. Rodimus wishes the crew well as their ship launches. Mere weeks later, the ship reconnoiters the Archa System. As it prepares to depart, an energy burst hits it, burning out the engines and sending it crashing toward the surface.
Centuries pass...
On a desolate world, the Dinobots can find no answers to their quest. Uncomfortable with the silent world, Magnatron orders all hands to return to their shuttle. A legion of zombie-like robots erupts from the planet's surface; the Dinobots fight their way through, only to find the final path blocked by a massive worm-like monster...
The Mutants have likewise arrived on their destination world to find themselves on a fool's errand. They are brought before a Quintesson judge, who takes little time to find them in contempt of court. The sentence: death by Sharkticon. Quintesson Judge Derodomontus watches, with Cryoteck by his side; the two discuss and argue over their plans for Cybertron... and the Wreckers.
The Wreckers meet Glyph and Tap-Out. Cyclonus betrays the Wreckers for his true master, Cryotek.
Primeval Dawn, Part 2
- Characters (in order of appearance):
The Maximals are joined by Ramulus. The Predacons (Ravage, Razorclaw, Spittor and Iguanus) attack as Tarantulas rips the Matrix out of Primal Prime.
Errors
- The original printing of the issue featured numerous coloring errors, as well as coloring work that obscured much of the art. A "Director's Cut" of the book was later published, with all-new coloring.
- Sharkticons based on Hammerstrike's design appear alongside the traditional Quintesson Sharkticon designs from Generation 1 on New Quintessa. However, these drones were miscolored AS Hammerstrike in the initial printing; the "Director's Cut" reprint fixes this, giving them a black and purple color scheme.
- In the original printing, the end of Cryotek's final line is obscured by its own font. The line is supposed to end, "...in conquering time itself!" but instead reads like Cryotek descends into incomprehensible madness midsentence. Like many other things, this was fixed in the "Director's Cut."
Items of note
- A four page prologue, showing the departure of the Autobots' exploration teams under Rodimus Prime's leadership, was added to the Director's Cut version of the issue.
