The Great Wars are over,
the Autobots have won.

The surviving Decepticons without a
leader and desperately low on energon,

retreated to the burnt-out planet of Chaar.

Once, Decepticons nearly held
the quadrant through terror.

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

Is this the fate of the
mighty Decepticon Empire?

In desperation, they realized that their
only hope for survival was Galvatron.

The memory bank must be in here.

There it is.

Find me the last visual
appearance of Galvatron.

But the only clue to their former
leader's present location

pointed the way to a fiery
distant planet called Thrull.

Meanwhile, the triumphant Autobots sent
Blurr and Wheelie with the transforming cog

to Autobot City, on Earth,

but mysterious invaders att*cked and
kidnapped Ultra Magnus, Cup and Spike.

What happened to 'em all? They're gone.

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.

Are the kidnappers Decepticons or
some other race of evil beings?

The search for an answer,
took Rodimus Prime and Grimlock to Chaar,

the new headquarters of the Decepticons.

Face it. We're doomed.

I'll think of something!

These guys are hurtin'

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!

I think we're outnumbered.

Me, Grimlock, like big battles!

Good, because you, Grimlock, have got one!

Me, Grimlock, no hurt!

Me neither, and you gotta wonder why!

It just don't pack the wallop it used to!

Yeah, because we're out of energy, dummy!

Decepticons, att*ck!

Me, Grimlock,
like sh**ting but can't miss!

They can't blast us,
so they gonna stomp us - en masse!

Cowards!

Crunchy!

Enemy object approaching!

Yowza!

I'm out of here!

I told you, it would stop on a proton.

Yeah, and that's the first
thing you've told me that was right!

Most unusual behavior for a meteor.

Let's get outta here
before the natives are onto us!

Those miserable Skuxxoids!

They can't be working with the Autobots!

Swindle: Eh, they'd sell out
to anybody for the right price.

If anyone would know, Swindle...

Rodimus, Me, Grimlock, demand you wake up!

Your contributions of energon
will not be in vain, brothers.

Never again shall we be
humiliated by the Autobots,

for when we return,
Galvatron shall be with us!

You are the Autobot Kup.
You are Cybertron's chief of security.

Naw, my name's Teaspoon!
And I'm Cybertron's chief dishwasher.

Zero percent probability of truth.
Identification positive.

Tell us the status of
Cybertronian defense apparatus.

Total shambles, after the last w*r.

Three kids and a dog
could take the planet.

Four percent probability of truth.
Defenses at optimum levels.

Direct as*ault not viable.

Are there any known weaknesses
in your defense system?

Hey, you guys seem to know
all the answers. Why ask me?

You answering impresses is that Cybertron's
not vulnerable to conventional att*ck.

However, he is concerned with
the security of planet Earth.

For a bunch of funky aliens,
these guys sure know a lot about Cybertron

and Transformers... a whole lot.

Its as if they can read our minds.

Yours, maybe.
They don't seem so eager to question me.

Yes. Curious, isn't it?

Silence!

The human senses our lack
of knowledge of his species.

Indeed.

Such intuitive powers could present a
serious impediment to our operations.

I agree. We must see how he
stands up to interrogation.

And then how he faces death.

Rodimus, me, Grimlock,
say, you wake up!

Is it bad?

I'm no doctor, but I doesn't look good.

Is he gonna make it?

I'm not a psychic either.

My time - hhh - in the light... is short.

Thats what Optimus Prime
said when he was dying.

Springer... my friend...

He's preparing to pass the
Matrix of Leadership to you.

His judgment is obviously impaired.

Forget it, Rodimus.
You're just gonna have to stay alive!

You must...

His life force has slipped away!

Nothing. No life force at all.

Noooo!

Its true, Grimlock. He's gone.

We'll take the body back
to CYbertron for internment.

Me, Grimlock, say he alive!

No Matrix of Leadership!

He's right!

If Rodimus were dead,
the Matrix would have emerged!

But if he's not dead...

where is his life force?

... the Quintessons...

He alive!

Me, Grimlock, love Arcee!

I... I didn't save him!
He came out of it himself!

We thought we'd lost you.

No. I was inside... the Matrix.

I know now who kidnapped the others.

They hidden inside you?

No you bozology.

Remember when we were sh*t
down over the planet Quintessa,

we were tried and sentenced to die?

Me, Grimlock, rescue you!

You must be kidding!

No, its true, he did,

but we never knew what our crimes were.
That was the strange thing.

But there isn't time to talk now.
Let's get to Quintessa.

Sorry, Rodimus, you're not going
anywhere but to Cybertron to recover.

Quintessa. Thats an order.

Where are you taking us?

Quintesson: To your judgement.

Kup: Right. We're gonna get a fair
trial, and then they're gonna k*ll us.

You sure wish for the good old
days, eh buddy?

You know, before the fighting broke out?
Bears versus the Lunar colony?

It was fourth quarter,
fourth down, thirty yards to go.

You remember that play?

No.

How about you, Kup?

No, but in a jam like that all
you can do is rush him and pray!

All right, Quintessons, you have a choice.

Release us, or I turn your
buddy here into bluey juice!

We sentence Judge Deliberata to death.

Say you're name is, Deliberata.

I embrace your decision.
Open the pit!

Why of all the, piston blowing,
can jamming, crime busting -

Why do I feel like I've seen this before?

The same reason my
life is flashing before my eyes.

Pay us no mind. We just... like to watch.

He's over there.

Scourge, show them the stuff of leadership
and remove Galvatron from the ooze!

Better you than I.

Who disturbs my plasma bath?

Mighty Galvatron!
We have come to deliver you from--

My empire of Ash?

My bastion of brimstone rest?

My kingdom of desolation?

Did I ask you for deliverance?
Naah--Did I?

Ah, Cyclonus!
How wonderful to see you again!

Decepticons, your leader has returned!

Long live the empire! Long live...

... Galvatron!

Long live Galvatron!

Let's see. Kup and I were
sh*t down right over there,

Therefore its gotta be
that planet over there.

I'll radio the coordinates
to our as*ault force.

Wait, there is still something I don't get.

Which is?

What crime did we commit?

The--Our Autobots.
You are guilty by association.

What crime did the Autobots commit?

Theft.

You're confusing us with the Decepticons.

Do you not occupy Cybertron?

If you haven't figured out
these guys are crazy,

your slower on the uptake than I thought.

Sharkticons, carry out the executions.

As we predicted,
the Autobots have sent help.

My readings indicate,
their leader is aboard the ship.

It is fortunate he is so foolhardy.

Let's hope his foolhardiness is
is not in fact courage.

He carries the Leadership Matrix.

If we could destroyed it,

the entire Autobot population
would plunge into despair and chaos.

Is it my imagination or have
they lost interest in us?

An asteroid?

Yeah, so? I've seen thousands of them.

About to land on your head?

I got to admit, thats new.

Perhaps we should seek some cover.

No, that would be cowardly.

Place your faith
in our defense system.

Fire!

The Autobots thr*aten us no more!

These baths have made me
more powerful than ever,

but where am I to find the mighty
legions who will follow me?

The Sweeps and I shall
serve as your elite guard,

and the other Decepticons shall
make excellent g*n fodder.

Elite guard! Hehe, you?

Scourge: Mighty Galvatron,
I have learned your lesson!

I now know not only that you
are the leader, but also why.

Such insight is rare!

Watch out for this one, Cyclonus.
One day, he might take your place.

Come, Decepticons.
We have an empire to regain!

What is that?

Eighty-six percent probability
the rescue expedition.

Everybody, ready!

Looks like, the old "empty
rockaroid" trick fooled 'em alright!

Excellent.

Our estimate of their arrival time was
accurate to within plus or minus five minutes.

Yes. Now we must escape.

Grimlock, jump!

Geronimo!

Keep fighting! We could win this thing!

Possibly,
but I wouldn't wish to wager on it!

Grab on!

Let's get to the ship!

Great idea, but there's a problem!

We don't have a ship!

But it's okay - we got backups coming!
Springer to Autobot Fleet!

Nice sh**ting, Silverbolt!

We're about to enter the atmosphere!
Prepare for the rescue operations.

They got a massive
proton cannon targeted on us!

Air Raid, you and Sky
Dive take out the cannon.

Fireflight,
spot Rodimus and the others.

Slingshot,
get in there and pull our guys out.

They believe they have won.

A pity we shall not witness the
horror of their faces as they die.

Activate the core b*mb
and move us out of range.

I shall miss Quintessa,

but the destruction of the
Matrix is ​​worth even this.

Autobots, let's get out of here!

TO BE CONTINUED...
