Ultra Mammoth and the Autobots arrive on Shatteredverse Cybertron, just in time to hunt down Ultra Magnus—and to learn of the next crisis for the Decepticons!
Synopsis
48 hours ago on Shatteredverse Cybertron, Straxus and Blaster are having a conversation about Straxus's evil counterpart, when all of a sudden a white dinosaur emerges in a flash of life in front of them! Before the dinosaur attacks, Ironhide, Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ultra Mammoth step forward. Welcoming the Autobots to Cybertron, Blaster contacts Galvatron, Aquarius, and Cliffjumper to explain more about the current situation. They all meet up at Decepticon HQ to discuss recent happenings, although Ultra Mammoth refuses to let Aquarius to take the Origin Matrix and pass it on to Nexus, claiming that as its guardian, it is his duty to protect it until he personally meets Nexus. Cliffjumper then gives Mammoth a summary of recent events, as well as a hard copy of his "cliff notes". Determined to track down his double, Mammoth is offered the use of a repaired stellar spanner to get to Classicsverse Earth by Galvatron. Spinister and Needlenose meet the Autobots outside the HQ and offer to build new bodies for the Autobots. Mammoth refuses to upgrade, claiming that in the current chaos, he needs a reminder of the past. As Galvatron tries to make conversation with Mammoth, Cyclonus comes running up with a message from Soundwave - the Autobots are attacking Decepticon City! Galvatron orders Cyclonus to get Blast Off to ready a shuttle and assemble a strike team, as Galvatron declares they're going to Earth—the Shatteredverse Earth!

Continuity notes
- Ultra Mammoth opened up a rift in spacetime in "Shattered Destiny", which sent his team here. Megatron's Decepticons, however, are nowhere to be seen at the moment.
- The Transformers I.Q. from the same Club magazine issue showed Aquarius and his associate ending up in the Shatteredverse to meet Ultra Mammoth.
- Grimlock trying to attack Blaster is a continuation of their rivalry from the Marvel comic.
- Ironhide notes that out of the counterparts to his team members, only his counterpart is dead, which occurred in "Invasion".
- Cliffjumper states that Demolishor and Side Burn were "some kind of Underbase", referencing the Underbase plot conclusion from "Coalescence", which had not come out at the time of this story's release.
Real-world references
- Cliffjumper has CliffsNotes!
Other trivia
- Gee, it sure is surprising that Ultra Mammoth, the only character with a recent Collectors' Club toy, would be keeping his current body, eh?
Errors
- Depth Charge's name is spelt as "Depthcharge".
- Side Burn's name is spelt as "Sideburn".
