Synopsis
The crew of the Autobot spacecraft Calabi-Yau pick up an energy trace from the dead planet Cybertron. Ship's captain Jetfire Jetfire ordered the Calabi-Yau drop him and three of the Technobot crew on Cybertron to conduct a detailed survey. Technobots Nosecone and Afterburner took the Calabi-Yau back into orbit. The four Autobots are attacked by partially-inviible enemies and overcome.

The Calabi-Yau was then attacked and destroyed by a missile volley launched from Cybertron, although the two remaining Technobots escaped in an emergency pod.

Through Optimus Prime's flashbacks, we disover that soem time ago, Autobot and Decepticon were united against the threat of a mysterious winged figure, wreathed in flame. The combined might of the Transformers was ineffectual; in the end, the planet itself swallowed the figure.

Jetfire comes around deep below the surface of Cybertron, and discovers a group of mecahnoids worshipping a massive, inert winged figure - they call it "Thunderwing".
