Synopsis

In the year 2035, the last days of the Great War, Blades reports to Ironhide, Prowl and Silverbolt that Optimus Prime has died.

Decepticon generals Cicadacon, Ramhorn and Sea Clamp continue their experiments with protoform technology when Tarantulas reports to them that Galvatron is dead. The commander of Decepticon Attack Squad 3 radios the generals that Galvatron and Optimus Prime have died and that the Decepticons have the advantage, but the generals order the commander to withdraw and await instructions. The commander agrees, but then orders his troops on anyways. The Decepticon generals realize their experiments on protoform technology have worked and they need as many Autobots and Decepticon alive to use it, so they order a cease fire.

The Autobot High Council

The Autobot High Council meets at Nova Plenum where Prowl suggests that without an appointed successor for Optimus Prime they instead lead as a Primal Council. The decide to give press the advantage of Galvatron's death to attempt get the Decepticons to surrender. The only surviving member of Autobot Unit-3 reports back that his unit, including it's commander Perceptor are dead. Big Convoy, Lio Convoy and Tigatron are sent on missions while the survivor of Unit-3 is recruited to fill Perceptor's shoes in their contingency plan. The information the Unit-3 survivor learn Perceptor found evidence of transwarp reactions. They send the Axalon with Optimus Primal, Ratrap, Rhinox and Cheetor to do an orbital scan.

At the site of the Omega Spaceport the Decepticon commander is told that Autobots approach. When Tigatron offers the Decepticons a peaceful solution to their conflict the commander declares him name to now be "Megatron" and orders his Decepticons to attack. Predaking makes short work of the Autobots, although Airazor is able to fend off attacks from Terrorsaur and Waspinator, resulting in the later being stepped on by the combiner. Megatron orders most of his troops to continue on while Predaking finished the Autobots. Despite wanting to stay in combat with Airazor, she convinces Tigatron to leave the battle and return to the Council because the need him.

Inside Unicron's head the Decepticon Generals learn they have been discovered. Megatron and his Decepticons push the attack on Nova Plenum. Ironhide takes on this Megatron in combat. The Decepticon generals eject a transmatter wave at Cybertron, but it is partly deflected by the Axalon's shields.

At Nova Plenum Tigatron returns and together with Ironhide, Prowl, Silverbolt and the Unit-2 survivor are able to form Magnaboss to fight of Megatron's Decepticons. As the transmatter rains on Cybertron the Decepticon generals arrive and kill Predaking with his own sword to his is death to help bring peace to Cybertron so the generals have time to finish their plans. As numerous Autobots and Decepticons all over Cybertron, including Inferno, are turned into protoforms Tarantulas reports to Megatron that Predaking is dead. Even with this news Megatron refuses to surrender, and Ravage secretly shoots him, rendering him unconscious. Cicadacon delivers the surrender of the Decepticons to the Autobot Council.

The Autobots and Decepticons sign a peace agreement, taking on new names and new allegiances while those turned into protoforms (inluding Airazor, Grimlock and Inferno) are placed in stasis pods in hopes that they can be restored one day. Megatron faces justice and downgrading for failing to follow orders. The Cicadacon continues his experiments in protoforming and the design of Magmatron.
