It is the year ,
the Great Wars are finally over,

and the Autobots have won.

But while the Autobots celebrate their victory
with their new leader, Rodimus Prime,

the surviving Decepticons,
without a leader of their own,

and desperately low on energon, have
retreated to the burnt-out planet of Chaar.

Look! Astrotrain!

I hope be brought back some energon!

We'd certainly could use the energy!

The one on the left is mine!

Give it to me!

We can't let Astrotrain get the energon!

Don't have the energy to hold on!

Resist me, and be destroyed!

Land Sweeps,
and beware of treachery!

Once, Decepticons
nearly held a quadrant through terror.

Now, we scrap like Slaargs,
over a few energon cubes.

Is this how you honour
the memory of Galvatron?

Is this the fate of the
mighty Decepticon Empire?

In the days of Megatron
it was not like this.

You mean, Galvatron!

Hail Galvatron! Hail Galvatron!
Hail Galvatron!

Well, they were the same guy.

We must take desperate measures.

Representing, the Nalva
System, are the Arcadroids.

They are heavily favoured
in the downhill events.

Olympians,

may today's games, usher in a new age
of peace and cooperation in the galaxy.

And in the spirit of the games,

let me introduce the hero
of the cybertronian wars,

the leader of the Autobots,
the bearer of the Matrix...

and now to officially open
these first galactic Olympics,

Rodimus Prime!

Let's do it!

Didn’t you want to say something about
concord and tranquility in the galaxy?

Aww, give me a break.

Start the games!

ZOWIE! We do have an unusual
leader, don't we - BOING?

Yo, Rodimus!

Hey, I thought Blurr was
supposed to be in this one.

No, they got some kind of - ZING!
ZANG! - mission for him!

So I'm here, and I went there!

So where does that get me? Nowhere! Nowhere
is where I would be, when i would be there!

So what am I doing here
when here is nowhere?

And I don't want to be
here, I want to be there!

Blurr, I'm sending you and Wheelie, on the
most important mission of your lives!

Microscope makes small problem
big to make big problem small.

You're absolutely wrong, Wheelie.

The fate of Autobot City
rests at your hands.

This is the city's transformation cog.

The original was destroyed in the
Great Battle of the Decepticons.

It controls Metroplex's
ability to transform.

Until it is installed,
the city is extremely vulnerable.

Well then,
why not send it Galactic Express?

And take a chance of our enemies
learning what we're sending?

I think not.

Race no fun, you should have won!

Don't get me started, because if you
do, I'm not gonna stop,

and if I don't stop, you'll wish, you
didn't get me started in the first place!

And the winner was Lubko Spanka
from the Orgenon Cluster!

Hey let's hear it for Orgenon!
Attaboy, yeah!

Way to go, old fella! Way to go!

Autobots,

you walk the thin line
between glory and despair.

Soon you shall cross it.

Yes. We must learn what makes these
humans live and what makes them perish.

This is cooking my sensors!

I think thats the idea!

I maybe going down,
but you're coming with me!

You aren't even denting it!

This is gonna be a tough one!

I can't see the attackers!

Thats what makes it tough!

Munch protons!

Ah, Rodimus is missing a few chips?

Nah, I was the same way until
I got blown apart a few times.

Cover me! I'm gonna douse the torch!

I said cover me, Arcee!

Haha! Is that good enough?

What happened to them all?

Looks like they either got
blown away or vanished.

Well, what do you think, Kup?
Kup?

Ultra Magnus? They're gone!

So is Spike!

They were kidnapped.

Yeah! And I'd lay odds on who did it!

This planet is quarantined.
Nobody comes, nobody goes,

until we find Kup,
Spike and Magnus.

And what if we don't?

Then we'll trash every
Decepticon in the galaxy.

So much for quarantine! I need a ship!

And you'll need a gunner!

Why'd I have to be the chosen one?

I was on a stupid mission,
then I was on a stupider mission,

but until right now I've never
been on a stupidest mission!

Some win, some lose.
Decepticons come, while Autobots lose!

Look! There's Unicron's head!
It's still in orbit!

Sweeps, move!

There's nothing to fear, Unicron is dead.

Must be the wind.

There is no wind in space!

Quiet!

The memory bank must be in here.

There it is.

Find me the last visual
appearance of Galvatron.

Tracing Galvatron's trajectory,

I can conclude that his
remains lie on the planet Thrull,

circling the red giant star Hydran.

Scourge, spy the planet!

Galvatron lives!

He shalll lead us again!

This is Abdul Fakkadi,

supreme m*llitary commander,
president for life, and king of kings,

of the Socialist Democratic
Federated Republic of Carbombya.

I give no clearance to land!

Do not think to arouse my ire!

Hold your cool, Abdul!

This is Blaster, blastin' at
you from Earth Defense Command,

EDC for short, flying carpet.

Sir, we aren't looking to make no trouble,

We're trying to find
Decepticreeps and bust their bubble.

I would harbour no such criminals!
And I'd give you my word of honour.

We sure trust you, thats no lies, but
these Decepticlods have a good disguise!

He is irrational!
How am I to debate with fanatastic dogs?!

How are we going to find the Decepticons?
It's like a needle in a haystack!

Not with my trusty Decepticon Detector.

No such thing.

You know that, and I know that, but...

I assure you,
there are no Decepticons in my country!

Let's see if the Decepticon Detector
knows something that you don't.

Somebody must have squealed on us.

Death comes to he who crosses me.

Yeah? Well, death comes to us,

if we don't thrust outta
here and get to Chaar!

Now you wanna talk and make it snappy
cause my buddy here is trigger happy!

Where is Chaar?

Coordinates are B.

Our charts don't show any
planet in that sector--

no, wait. Here it is. I thought it
was a smudge in the screen.

Yeah, that fits their description of Chaar.

Good enough! Rodimus Prime over and out.

Had I been here during the att*ck,
I might be able to tell you what it is.

Somehow it looks familiar,
but It isn't any Decepticon I know.

Well strictly speaking, Rodimus,

we have no evidence they
were behind the att*ck.

Perceptor, there is only
one way to know for sure.

I'm going to Chaar.

You musn't go alone. I'll accompany you.

Remember what happened to the last
two guys who tried to watch out for me?

Your point is well taken, sir.
Take Grimlock!

He's putting up a good fight!

Yeah, but not good enough!

We'll nail him on the other
side of that asteroid!

Ah, the old
"hyperdrive-past-the-asteroid" trick.

You'd think he'd do
something more original!

You got any snappy last words?

Got to get outta here!

Good idea!

This thing biological or mechanical?

Let's investigate.

Look at this!

I surrender! I surrender!

By galactic agreement,

you are obliged to honour
my surrender and--

I know what I'm obliged to do.

And I don't care.

They paid good money! Okay?

The Deceptions?

The who? Oh, I mean, yes,
of course, the Decepticons!

Since you ripped our
ship, we're gonna have to take yours!

Therfore you're gonna have
to take a hike! Got it?

I-I! I got it!

You know how to fly this thing?

No problem. This'll take us right there.

Flown a lot of rockaroids, have you?

This must be a different
model than I learned on.

The Autobots think the Decepticons did it.

Precisely as we had expected.

No small thanks to me!
What about my bonus?

We will let you know,
unlike some less fortunate prisoners.

Wait, just a minute! You can't do
this to me! You know who I am--

I say we pulverowderize the Autobots!

I say we powderulverize 'em!

I admire your passion, my friend,

but what is our hope of
defeating the Autobots,

when we can barely sustain ourselves?

What we need is a strong leader.

Like for instance, the Autobots
used to have a great leader!

These guys better have some energon for us.

Or what?

Or... I'll think of something!

Galvatron survives!

With sufficient energon, we can rescue him

and the Decepticons will rise again!

That's it, Astrotrain!

These few scraps you give today
will power the Decepticons,

to conquest of Cybertron,
and then, the galaxy!

Give , my fellow, Decepticons!

Give till it hurts!

If we surrender our energon, we're doomed.

If we don't, we're doomed, too.

Face it. We're doomed.

What kind of an attitude is that?
Here's my contribution!

These guys are hurtin'.

I never thought I’d feel
sorry for the Decepticons.

Me Grimlock, not feel sorry.
Me Grimlock laugh!

You know, they couldn't have been
responsible for the kidnappings.

They not? But if not they, who are?
Who are them--?

Grimlock! Ssshh!

Autobots!

Me, Grimlock, not afraid of Decepticons!

Destroy them!

TO BE CONTINUED.
