Overview

In this pocket universe, the Great War concluded...with Thunder Mayhem the victor. The combined form of the Mayhem Attack Squad devastated Cybertron, killing Autobot and Decepticon alike and driving the Cybertronian species to near-extinction. Impactor, leader and sole survivor of the Wreckers, now seeks out fellow survivors in order to get revenge on Thunder Mayhem.

Meanwhile, the humans (and four Autobot Pretenders) of the Classicsverse landed on the local Earth after being sent there by Gaea. Keeping a low profile due to anti-Cybertronian sentiment, Spike and his associates investigate their new home, which was mysteriously unpopulated by any native humans when they arrived. After five years of no results, they encounter a mysterious man who warns them that "he is coming".

Notes

• The story arc serves as an advertisement for the fourth and fifth series of the Collectors' Club's Transformers Figure Subscription Service.
• This continuity takes many influences from the Marvel Comics continuity, with all the classic G1 characters in "The Toxic Transformer" having their coloration from the Marvel G1 comic. There are some differences, though - notably, female Transformers seem to be much more common in this universe than in other Marvel-derived continuities.
