The Blue Order is betrayed!
Synopsis
With the theft of the Blue Matrix, Primus alerts the other colored Orders of the Primus Vanguard to defend their respective Matrices from Megatron Omega, for if he gets all seven, all is lost for this universe...
On the Blue Planet, the Blue Order is torn asunder, its members driven to attack each other by the program secretly implanted into them by one of the group's Straxuses. Blue realizes the betrayal, and the other Straxus—Director Straxus—mocks him and explains that the previous commander, Brightes, shouldn't have passed him over for Supreme Commander in favor of Blue. Refusing to dirty his hands by harming his comrades, Blue stabs himself with the Matrix Sword, but the amused Straxus just takes it and offers his services to Megatron Omega so that the other Orders and Primus's ambitions can be destroyed.
Left behind, Turtler moans about his inability to stand up to the villains, but is bemused when the planet's native Beast People thank him for saving them. Primus explains to Star Convoy that, while the members of the Blue Order have perished, their sparks will be stored in his Ark and pass on to the next incarnation of the universe, which is why he led Galvatron to this universe. Turtler alerts Star Convoy to a more immediate mystery: the absence of Halfshell from the crashed photon sailer...
At the White Planet,White Gallant Convoy is alerted to an invading turtle—Halfshell! The Seacon is here for his White Matrix! The Green Planet faces a similar invasion as Sea Phantom seeks to take the Green Matrix from Green Tender Convoy.

Notes
- The backstory created for Magna Convoy and Convobat, the fall of the Blue Order of the Primus Vanguard, is finally depicted in full in this comic, and Straxus's motivations for the betrayal is revealed.
- The different Orders of the Primus Vanguard all seem to have individual themes beyond their color; Green is made up of different Bulkheads, mostly represented by different toys of Prime Bulkhead, and White is made up of police-themed redecoes.
- The Matrices of the Orders are based on various toy accessories—the White Matrix is based on the Matrix accessory that came with TakaraTomy's Arms Master Optimus while the Green Matrix is the Creation Matrix that came with Galvatron II.
