Chromia and Bumblebee venture into Cybertron's gaseous Argon Sea in search of Windblade.

Synopsis

Chromia, Ratchet and Bumblebee stand before Windblade, preparing to upload what they have of her mind. Just as they finish, a shark-bot breaks into the sickbay and steals their friend. Taking a shuttle, Bumblebee and Chromia follow the thief to the Argon Sea and dive in.

In the Argon Sea, Bumblebee and Chromia find a beautifully populated landscape under the surface and spot the thief, immediately giving chase. Unfortunately, he topples nearby structures to throw them off. Upon escaping, Bumblebee and Chromia dive deeper to find a giant transmission of Windblade's face screaming for help. It disappears and local wildlife attacks them. The creatures manage to damage the shields on the shuttle, and once they leave, the shark-bot arrives and smashes the window. Bumblebee mounts and incapacitates the shark-bot, but falls into the ravine. Chromia follows him down, and the shark-bot awakens, grumpy with his position, and an argument breaks out.

After the shark-bot introduces himself as Hammerbyte, the Argon Sea's Guardian, and explains himself, he and Chromia set off to rescue Bumblebee and Windblade. Finding Bumblebee, they follow him down a hatchway. Just before Hammerbyte enters, a tentacle appears and hits him with an orange gas, sending him into a mind-controlled trance. He quickly catches up to Chromia, who flees until she reaches Bumblebee... also under mind control. Evading both of them, Chromia reaches a large room with Windblade floating in the middle, before the Dweller. Quickly working out that the Dweller a Titan, Chromia strands defiant.

The Dweller sics Bumblebee and Hammerbyte on her, though Chromia quickly turns Bumblebee's stinger against them, breaking them out of their trances. Not willing to lose potential citizens, the Dweller releases more hypnotic gasses, but the trio manage to grab Windblade and escape... though at the cost of their shuttle. Returning Windblade to her friends, Hammerbyte apologizes for his Dweller-induced actions and heads back into the Argon Sea.

Meanwhile, Optimus Prime assembles the Autobots in a strategy meeting. Just before he finishes, he freezes as the Matrix of Leadership floats out of his chest. Manifesting into the Matrix, Optimus is joined by Maccadam. Pondering how Maccadam is in the Matrix, Optimus's inquiry is answered. All along, Maccadam was Alchemist Prime, one of the Thirteen. Alchemist then instructs Optimus to do the most appalling act for a Prime: the destruction of Megatron's Matrix. As Optimus returns to the real world, he rounds up the troops for a world-saving mission on their hands.

Real-world references

  • Though the original Dweller was a Quintesson Trans-Organic, this version is a monstrous tentacle-wielding Titan that has some heavy Lovecraftian vibes. Specifically, he calls to mind Lovecraft's most famous creation Cthulhu.
