Synopsis
A group of Autobots led by Grimlock destroy a group of Decepticons in the deepest reaches of space. They have unearthed a group of Cybertronians intent on colonizing all the worlds within their grasp. Jhiaxus, the leader of this group of Decepticons, has decided to take matters within his own hands, and captures Grimlock's group in order to demonstrate to them the futility of fighting against his forces. Discouraged by the apparent limitlessness of the threat they now face, the Autobot nonetheless decide to fight back. But as terrible as this new threat is, Optimus Prime is having visions of something even worse on the horizon...
