Blurr and Wheelie are ambushed,

on their mission to take the transforming
cog for Autobot City to Earth,

and are left hurtling helplessly
toward a moon of Jupiter, Io.

I'm tracking an Autobot shuttle with
several Decepticon fighters in pursuit.

All hope lies with, Marissa Faireborn
of the Earth Defense Command,

who even now rockets toward Io.

Meanwhile, a daring att*ck raid led by
Rodimus Prime and the Aerialbots

freed Ultra Magnus, Kup and Spike,

an instant before the
planet was detonated

by the deadly Quintesson.

Buffeted by the terrific force
of Quintessa's expl*si*n,

Rodimus Prime and his companions
tumbled out of control,

and landed on Goo,
the stickiest planet in the universe.

Springer had just been vacuumed up
and destroyed by

the elemental processing unit of Goo,

when suddenly the Decepticons att*cked.

Last big party of the summer, folks!
Let's go out with a bang!

Just once, couldn't your attitude
reflect the gravity of the situation?!

Not if I can help it!

Yes! Yes!
Even if it means my life is forfeit,

Destroy them! Destroy th--ooh!

Me, Grimlock, say, shut your faces!

The Autobots are helpless!
This time their doom is certain!

And we owe this grand opportunity
entirely to our new allies.

I do not take your meaning.

He means one of their opportunities--

Galvatron: Now, Decepticons,
learn the price of your disloyalty!

att*ck!

Cyclonus: att*ck whom?

Galvatron: EVERYONE!

Fired from the rear!

What matter whether, death comes from
in front or behind? Death is death!

We've been double crossed!

You have forsaken the
Decepticons' one true leader

and for your treachery, you will pay!

Galvatron, you have returned!

Beg for your life!

Spare me, and I'm yours to command.

Hail Galvatron!

Hail Galvatron!

Hail Galvatron!

They gave us energy!
They led us on this raid!

What can you give us that they didn't?

"THEY"? "THEY"? Who are "THEY"?

Perhaps I should introduce myself!

We should have been molten by now.
What's going on up there?

Slopiness. Disorganisation.
As I've tried to to teach you,

undisciplined thinking can make
even the simplest task, impossible.

None of these devices except
the TVs are functioning.

Wait a second. I've got a feeling.

Hello, hello, hello,
you are there in TV red!

Glad you used the dial-
wish everybody would.

Wreck-Gar?

I thought so.

Kemosabes, Rodimus,
and Ultra Magnus you look like brand new.

Radio rigawide waves and all,
but why'd you come on down to Goo?

We didn't come on down, we crashed here.

Wreck-Gar: Bulletin: You are in danger of
being canceled or losing your time slot.

What's he talking about?

We're gonna get k*lled.

Wreck-Gar, we need personalised service,

with friendly convenient payment terms.
Lets all be there?

While you wait for me,
Wreck-Gar will fix you in good hands.

Faireborn to Metroplex.
Entering Jupiter's magnetic field.

I got static boogie all
over my screen already.

Any sign of Blurr and Wheelie?

Continuing to scan.

If you can still hear me, Blaster,
I think I've spotted them! Alive!

But somethings very wrong down there.
I'm going after them!

Keep one away, others play!

I'm okay, but you're in bad shape!
I just can't leave you in bad shape,

so I gotta do something to save you,
that'll probably put me in bad shape.

Take the cog! You're faster!

Keep Metroplex, from disaster!

Autobot Blurr!
Come aboard with the cog!

We have to save Wheelie!
What would I do without Wheelie?

Now what am I gonna do? Do I save the cog
or I save Wheelie? But if I save Wheelie,

then she could get hurt
and I might lose the cog,

so what am I gonna do and why do I
always have to make decisions like this?

Blurr! What is he doing?

Blurr! Don't be a stoop, fly in the coop!

He ran right back into the danger!

My digital watch is smarter than that!

Eat null rays, you bags of protoplasm!

Well, it's about time!
I was getting claustrophobic down there,

and when I get claustrophobic,
I get nervous, when I get nervous, i feel--

I don't care how you feel
as long as you're alive!

Now shut up and get to the ship!

Well it's official: we're not going
anywhere, and if we don't go anywhere...

that means we stay here forever,
and forever won't be very long because--

Quiet!

If you're going to panic,
panic productively!

Help me find out if the
radio is still working.

Yes, Maam.

Come out and face me! I wish to meet
the new leaders of the Decepticons!

This one must be dealt with
differently than the others.

What shall we do?

Negotiate.

From a position of weakness?

From a position of falsehood.

Decepticons! Fire!

Show yourself or perish!

We wish to be your allies to
help you defeat the Autobots.

Heh! Have I asked for your help?

N-no.

Then what makes you think I want it?

Galvatron, no, I beg you!

We have no choice, we must tell him!

- No! - Never!

Tell me? What?

We would die before telling you.

About the Decepticon Matrix of Leadership.

What Decepticon Matrix?

Priorities, please.

What do we get for giving
you this information?

It might let you live.

Our lives are not enough.

You would dictate terms me?

Yes. In addition to leaving us live...

You must also destroy the Autobots on Goo.

Autobots?

Renewing the hostilities, are they?

Look out!

Try and take out Galvatron first!

Galvatron?

Fire!

You succeeded nothing but
increasing my rage, Autobots!

Look out! We're on a thin goo!

No! its evaporating out from under us!

What's going on down there?

I don't know,
but it sure feels like we're being...

sucked through the goo!

I will not be defeated by a garbage scow!

What happened to the Quintessons?

Sale Sale! Cut prices
to keep off competition!

Doors closing at midnight!

Thwarted by junk!

Very well, Junkions.
Then you will share the Autobots fate!

I hate Autobots,
but I hate disloyalty more,

and more than either,
I despise failure!

And I blame you for this failure.

Destroy us, and you will never
have the Decepticon Matrix.

. % probability doubts
the existence of the Matrix.

Right!

But he cannot doubt
we would be powerful allies.

Yes, you would.

Good if we possess such
power, for example we could--

Why have you not destroyed
the Autobots yourself?

Their association with the
humans has changed them.

We find the earth creatures very
unpredictable and troublesome.

The humans! You fear the humans?

Those are weaklings! Very well then.

With your intellect and the
strength of my Deceptions,

we shall blast the Autobots and
humans off the mapof the galaxy!

Hail Galvatron! Hail Galvatron!

Hail Galvatron!

Don't you cry. I've got a secret.

You'll have Springer back
faster than snap, crackle, pop!

You can bring him back?

New and improved, or for
a limited time your money back.

What happened? Arcee?

Springer! Oh, Springer!

Huh, not to discourage you,
but what did I do to deserve all this?

Oh, shut up!

I don't know how you did
it, but thanks, Wreck-Gar.

Assembly required, batteries not
included, but I believe in me.

Rodimus, look who's back!

Yeah, good to have you back, Springer.

Well, Don't let your
enthusiasm overwhelm you.

Sorry. I've been thinking
about the Quintessons.

Who they are, why they treat us as enemies.

From what I saw
back on that asteroid,

I think the answer maybe in the Matrix,

and the memories of the
ancient Autobot leaders.

So just get blasted again and almost die.

Then you can enter the
Matrix and find out for sure.

He's only kidding!
Tell him you're only kidding!

He knows, Arcee.
He's not as dumb as he looks.

Come on,
let the boy cogitate if he wants.

He won't do anything rash, will you, Rod?

Where am I? Is this the Matrix?

Rodimus Prime, you have embarked on a
journey to Cybertron's distant past.

Prepare
to look into the face of your creator!

Eons ago, Cybertron was a factory,

built by the Quintessons
to manufacture, robots.

There were two product lines:

m*llitary hardware and consumer goods.

These two product lines
were the lineal ancestors of

th Decepticons and the Autobots.

In time, the Quintessons endowed their
products with a simulated intelligence.

Now, the machines could
manufacture themselves.

Before long they grew too lazy
and greedy to bother even with that.

There were simpler ways to
wring performance out of their slaves.

The Quintessons simply
recycled it on the spot.

The Quintessons also used
robots to entertain them.

Machines pitted against
machine in gladiatorial combat.

Some of us however, found this
pointless combat repellent,

and sought to put a stop to it.

We failed.

But the seeds of revolt had been planted,

and then one day yielded terrible horrors.

What the Quintessons
failed to grasp,

was that their robots had
developed emotions.

They knew and felt the difference
between freedom and sl*very.

And that oversight sealed their fate.

For a timee the robots lived in harmony.

But this did not last.

The former consumer goods who
called themselves Autobots,

sought a peaceful existence while
m*llitary hardware wanted conquest.

And they got their way.

For centuries they terrorised the Autobots.

Kowing we could never defeat
the Decepticons with firepower,

we turned to stealth and
invented the art of transforming.

The Autobots ruled for many centuries,

but in time, the Decepticons
also learned how to transform.

Thus one fateful night,
far below the city...

Megatron was born.

The Matrix, was passed to Alpha
Trion, the oldest of Autobots,

who kept it safely hidden for many years,

until the next Autobot
leader appeared,

a gentle robot known as Orion Pax,

who was fated to become...

Optimus Prime.

And so began the Third Cybertronian
w*r which rages to this day.

And the Quintessons are our creators.

"Through all these centuries, they have
waited for the proper moment to strike,

to reclaim the planet that we
Transformers took from them.

And now they're going for the gusto, right?

Do not forget what you've learned
of our past, Rodimus.

From its lessons, the future is forged.

Are you crazy?!
Why'd you short-circuit yourself?!

Wake up, you - you moron!

It was the only way... into the Matrix.

I was wrong. He is as dumb as he looks.

Springer!

No more jokes, Springer.
Cybertron's in deadly danger.

We're heading back for her. Now.

Yes sir. Mr. Leader sir.

We shall att*ck on two fronts then?

Correct.
Simultaneously on Cybertron and on Earth.

The bridge joint is almost complete.

I'm ready with the beacon.

Sleep soundly, earth creatures,
for your awakening shall be rude.

Constructicons to Galvatron!
Trypticon is ready!

Transform it!

Trypticon lives!

And Autobot City dies!

Mayday! Mayday!
Request landing clearance!

We must deny their request.

And let a shuttle full of innocent
humans die? I can't do it!

Cybertron's safety might depend on it!

I-I just can't! Permission granted!

Thank you, Cybertron!

We've spotted her! But too late!
She's about to hit the--

Decepticons, att*ck!

The Decepticons will destroy the Autobots.

Then we will crush the Decepticons.

And soon... very soon...

Cybertron will be ours!

TO BE CONTINUED...
