Resumen:
Optimus Prime is having recurring premonitions -- nightmare dreams where everything in existence is destroyed by a mysterious, corruptive force. He is awakened from his trance by Kup, who has bad news: Grimlock has assembled an Autobot raiding party to attack the Decepticons, in direct violation of Optimus' orders.
Elsewhere, Grimlock and his group have stolen a Decepticon maintenance scow, in hopes of boarding Lord Jhiaxus' flagship and destroying it with a bomb. Though Grimlock feels uncomfortable about manipulating the Autobots' restlessness for his own ends, their security code is accepted and they land in the Twilight. Unfortunately, the attack comes to a screeching halt when their ship is surrounded by an overwhelming squad of Decepticons. Jhiaxus explains that tightened security required multiple access codes, and sneers at the Autobots' efforts to stop him. Red Alert tries to shoot Jhiaxus, but is instantly cut down by the Decepticons.
The Autobots are soon loaded on another ship; Jhiaxus tells Grimlock that they will be taken to the Leige Maximo, but does not explain what it is. En route, Grimlock finally understands that Optimus Prime told the Autobots to stop attacking the Decepticons to avoid needless losses, and berates himself for being an inferior leader.
The ship is suddenly attacked by a Decepticon fighter ship -- with all of the access codes. In the confusion, the Autobots overpower their captors and take control. It is then revealed that the other ship is commanded by Optimus Prime and the other Autobots, who kept the captain alive to send the codes. As the battle winds down, Grimlock braces himself for a severe reprimand.
It does not come; Optimus is going to Cybertron and investigate his premonitions, and leaves Grimlock in charge of the Autobots in the interim. He explains to Grimlock that he respects his leadership skills, and encourages him to learn from his mistakes in the future.

Resumen:
The planet Earth is being mercilessly bombarded by the Decepticon Warworld. While waiting for Optimus Prime to arrive -- so he can steal the Creation Matrix from the Autobot leader -- Bludgeon leads his Decepticons on a gratuitous rampage through a major city. However, their revelry is interrupted when Megatron and Starscream arrive. Megatron wants command of the Decepticons, and is determined to have it over Bludgeon's dead body...
Este número contiene la primera referencia a Leige Maximo.
Aquí no se explica como Megatron y Starscream sobreviven a la explosión del Arca (en el número 2) ni como vuelven a la Tierra, pero en el número 6 Megatron explica a Soundwave que necesitaba a Starscream por su mobilidad, y en número 7 Megatron recuerda como escapan en una nave justo antes de la destrucción del Arca.
