Denied the help of Omega Supreme, Rodimus prepared the Lost Light to find the Knights of Cybertron, a group from Cybertron's ancient past. He intended on following a map discovered in the halves of the now empty Matrix of Leadership by Perceptor and Rewind, hoping that the knowledge and power of the Knights could be used to bring Cybertron into a new golden age. Rodimus gave a rousing speech on the day prior to the launch, intending on swaying the varied Transformers currently inhabiting and feuding on Cybertron to accompany him. While Prowl predicted Rodimus would fail to convince anyone to leave with him, at least 200 answered the call. After being checked and cleared by a diligent Red Alert, the passengers boarded the Lost Light, along with a "weapon of mass destruction" brought on board by Ratchet, an unconcious and crippled Tailgate, a disabled Cyclonus, and mysterious cargo smuggled aboard on Prowl's orders.

The ship launched on schedule, but something went wrong. As the Lost Light lifted off, it was rocked by an explosion and quantum jumped before it was ready. The jump placed the Lost Light over an unknown planet somewhere in space and caused one of the rear thrusters to explode, resulting in a fire and a hull tear in one of the hangars on the upper decks. Before the tear could be sealed, 40 Autobots were ejected through the breach. Rodimus ordered the Lost Light to be set down on the planet's surface so the lost Autobots could be recovered.
