~ Last issue we saw what has become of the 4 Factions.
The Autobots were attacked by Primal and some Rock warriors. Mirage died, and Jazz has been injured.
This leaves the Autobot ranks weakened, now consisting of only Optimus Prime, and 3 Dinobots.
The Decepticons escaped the Ark, and made their hideout in a Junkyard type area. There they revive
Thrust, Jetstorm, and Obsidian, as well as constructing a new powerful body for Rattrap out of a discarded
Autobot. His name is Doubledealer, and he leads Thundercracker, Cyclonus, and the afformentioned Warriors.
The maximals have split into 2 teams. One team sets out to hunt down the Autobots, while the other team
stays in the city, in case the Autobots should attack. Their ranks consist of Rattrap, Silverbolt, K-9, Primal,
and their leader Lio Convoy. Also in the ranks, but not seen last issue are Depth Charge, Black Arachnia,
Magnaboss, Sabreback, Guildedart, and Tigatron! Little do the maximals know , there is more than just 1 threat to them!
The Predacons. Seeing Cybertron will now be sent into Chaos by the impending War, Gigatron decides the time has come to rally his secret supporters, and prepare to conquer Cybertron! Followed by Scourge and manterror, Gigatron readies his troops to raid Iacon V2.0, the capitol city of Cybertron, in an attempt to recover the sparks of warriors that aided Megatron in the Beast Wars... ~
*Back at the Autobot Ark*
SNARL: Me Snarl attacked from behind. Decepticons shoot Snarl and escape.
OPTIMUS: Blast! Mirage dies, Jazz is injured, and the Decepticons escape. This is not the homecoming I had hoped for.
JAZZ: Optimus, I'm not doing so well. I don't know how much longer I'll last. We need to revive some soldiers from the stasis pods.
OPTIMUS: We have a limited supply of Energon, but you are right Jazz, we need to revive at least one soldier...
