An evil Ultra Magnus and his army invade an unwitting alternate universe, threatening all existence.

Synopsis

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

As storms threaten the Earth's existence, modern-day South Americans worry their ancestors were right about 2012.

Ultra Magnus kills Ironhide in a way similar to Ironhide's death in The Transformers: The Movie. "Such pitiful nonsense!"
Ultra Magnus and the Terminus Blade were mentioned briefly in earlier stories, and both are only now being given center stage. The Stellar Spanner was also introduced earlier, but had much larger roles.
Ratchet is still in the new body he acquired in "At Fight's End," but now it's colored like the North American release versus the Japanese release.
The "Canada" panel on page 16 is full of tiny Marvel cameos. And Simon Furman. Also ... Robot-Master?
Octopunch mentions that he survived the Unicron War. That's a reference to how he survived the Unicron War.
There are two inverted Furmanisms. First is Magnus's "My time is about to start! Begin!" and the second is Treadshot's "Like a small, herbivorous shrew, you are nothing!"
Shattered Straxus's speech at the end mirror's Optimus Prime's reassurance at the end of "All Fall Down."
