Synopsis
In the year 2510 the final Decepticon is falls in battle with the Wreckers. Relieved that the war is finally over, Rodimus Prime decides to step down as leader and selects Springer as his replacement.
However a Decepticon double agent, called Triton, who has infiltrated in the Autobot ranks is determined to prevent the war from ending. When Rodimus announces Springer as his successor he objects, saying that Springer is a warrior, not a leader. He suggests Ultra Magnus would make a better leader.
Arguments break out amongst the Autobots over who should be leader which culminates in Scattershot killing Roadbuster. Sandstorm blames Triton for Roadbuster’s death and kills him. The Autobots split into factions and a new war begins, much to Rodimus’ despair.
Errors
- Although originally intended to be part of the main UK continuity, later events in the main comic, such as Roadbuster's death in Time Wars relegate this story to belonging to a 'possible future'.
Items of note
- This is one of only a hand full of stories from this era not to be written by Simon Furman.
