A group of Autobots led by Optimus flies into the shimmering void, to Alpha Q's puzzlement. He notes that Megatron is pursuing them. Megatron observes and laughs. The search team observes evidence of a recent battle on Iron Planet. The pair wonders if they should report this to their new boss... but the new boss, the ancient veteran Bulkhead, has already arrived. The Autobots approach the void, and wonder if Unicron is within. Misha reports incoming Decepticons, as laser beams from space begin striking the planet. The Decepticons are firing from orbit.
