The battle with Unicron commences and a new Autobot leader emerges.

Synopsis

The Autobots and Junkions travel to destroy Unicron while Galvatron attempts to use the Matrix to enslave Unicron. The Matrix does not open and Unicron is enraged, transforming and attacking Cybertron. The Autobots crash their ship into Unicron's eye and are attacked by his internal defenses. Hot Rod is separated from the others and encounters Galvatron, who was swallowed by Unicron. Galvatron at first claims that he and Hot Rod face a common enemy, but Unicron forces him to fight the Autobot.

The Dinobots attack Unicron's exterior while those inside defend themselves from his interior attackers. A broken water main leads Daniel to an area where Transformers are being dropped into an acid pool to be converted into raw materials. He uses his Exo-suit to rescue his father, Bumblebee, Jazz and Cliffjumper.

Galvatron and Hot Rod battle, and Hot Rod opens the Matrix, transforming him into Rodimus Prime. He hurls Galvatron through Unicron's walls and into space before opening the Matrix again, causing a chain reaction inside Unicron. The other Autobots show up and everyone transforms and drives out of Unicron's other eye before he explodes. Afterward, as Unicron's head orbits Cybertron, Rodimus exclaims that this event will end the Cybertronian wars.

Differences Between the Film and Comic

  • Rather than the random generics he has in the film Shockwave has actual TV characters under his command on Cybertron — namely Reflector, Dirge Ramjet and Thrust — all of whom seem to be killed by Unicron.

He's dead, Jim.
  • Shockwave is shown being killed by Unicron, explaining his absence in the 3rd season.
  • Daniel breaks the acid cover with his first shot.
  • When the Junkion ship is destroyed Wreck-Gar says "Ashes to Ashes, Junk to Junk."
  • Kup loses his "I knew you had potential lad" line.

Items of note

All the good guys get graphic deaths but they cut one of the only two villain deaths?
  • A 2-page "IDWords" section interviews Chris Ryall about the 2007 Movie Prequel.
