<a name="Synopsis"></a><h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Stormbringer_issue_4&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Synopsis">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline"> Synopsis </span></h2> As Thunderwing speeds through hyperspace toward <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28planet%29" title="Cybertron (planet)">Cybertron</a>, Optimus Prime and the Wreckers frantically prepare for his arrival. They're not the only ones; under Megatron's orders, the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Predacon_%28G1%29" title="Predacon (G1)">Predacons</a> aboard the Decepticon warship <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thanatos" title="Thanatos">Thanatos</a> prepare to bombard Cybertron from orbit in order to destroy Thunderwing once and for all, though Razorclaw harbors reservations. As the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobots</a> engage Thunderwing, Razorclaw orders Divebomb to take a group of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticons</a> and fight alongside the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wrecker" title="Wrecker">Wreckers</a>.

Jetfire finally uncovers an item in Bludgeon's files; if Thunderwing is subjected to a massive assault, he will drain his supply of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ultra-Energon" title="Ultra-Energon">Ultra-Energon</a> ever faster. <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dogfight" title="Dogfight">Dogfight</a> reprograms Bludgeon's remaining <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Centurion_droid" title="Centurion droid">Centurion drones</a> (of which there are many), adding to the combined Transformers' firepower. As the drones are destroyed and Razorclaw orders his Decepticons back, Optimus Prime moves in, blasting Thunderwing until he runs out of Energon. Razorclaw cancels his warship's bombing run at the last second.

Returning to the Autobot command hub aboard <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ark-27" title="Ark-27">Ark-27</a>, Optimus receives a communique from Jetfire, who has uncovered further information in Bludgeon's files—a Decepticon plan involving a planet called <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>. Connecting this information with the update he received from <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Prowl_%28G1%29" title="Prowl (G1)">Prowl</a>'s unit, Prime orders a change of course.
