Transformers Armada: Rise of Unicron's Heralds-A made-up comic series by Transforminator: Part Two

VOLUME TWO
  1. 'Unlimited Power' storyarc-On Tatooine, Slugslinger comes across Unicron's disembodied head. How nice. Elsewhere, in space, the Energon Sun rebuild Megatron's remains and resurrects him as Galvatron. He returns to Earth and interrupts Starscream's 'coronation' at the Decepticon base, and kills his former second-in-command. Meanwhile, the Autobots encounter Slugslinger in Antarctica, but the bounty hunter soon makes a hasty retreat.The Decepticons soon arrive and Optimus Prime is killed by Galvatron. Later, during an encounter with Tidal Wave, the Matrix of Leadership chooses Jetfire to be Optimus' successor.
  2. 'The Ghost of Starscream'-Starscream's ghost haunts Bob's Body Shop in search of, well, a new body. (What sort of guy would keep such things..?) During his search, the ghost of Autobot Wreck-Gar enters the shop and fights against Starscream over a new body (said fighting is mainly just playing Rock, Paper, Scissors...). Eventually, Starscream just gives up...
  3. 'Oh, Honey..'-Bob goes on a honeymoon with his wife, who is in league with Galvatron. Yes, you read that right. Mrs. Bob has a mech suit, which is taken over by Starscream, which he uses to face Galvatron. Starscream is beaten again, and his ghost leaves to find another body. Meanwhile, a rebuilt Unicron sends Slugslinger to destroy the Matrix of Leadership. 
  4. 'The Return of Optimus Prime'-Slugslinger fights against the Autobots over the Matrix. The minion of Unicron unleashes a Transmetal version of Dragonizer, which is quickly destroyed. Suddenly, Alpha Quintesson (strangely) resurrects Optimus Prime, who defeats Slugslinger and is given back the Matrix by Jetfire. Elsewhere, Starscream finds his remains and takes back his original body. In space, Alpha Quintesson is destroyed by Unicron.
  5. 'Farewell, Inferno'-A three (four?)-way battle begins, involving the Autobots, the Decepticons, the Triple Changers-led by Starscream-and the Energon Sun. During the battle, Autobot Hot Shot and Decepticon Demolishor are injured, but are rebuilt by Primus. In response, the Energon Sun creates Megazarak. Inferno then sacrifices his life to destroy the Energon Sun, which collapses into a sentient, powerful black hole, forcing the three factions to retreat.
  6. 'Enter Roadblock'-Inferno's body is stolen by a Star Destroyer (of all things) but is then unintentionally freed by Demolishor and Snow Cat. Inferno is then resurrected by unknown means into Roadblock, and he helps the Autobots destroy the Black Hole. Even though it is IMPOSSIBLE to destroy a black hole, but it's a comic, so...
  7. 'Collision' storyarc-The Autobots are captured by the Galactic Empire. Snow Cat and Demolishor are captured as well, and the two of them end up in a cell with Shockblast's brother, Six Shot. The Decepticon then begins to help the other two break out. While the Autobots explore the Death Star, Decepticon Buzzsaw prepares to destroy the space station's core, but the shield goes up in time. However, he plants a bomb on it, which then goes off, allowing the Autobots barely enough time to make it off the Death Star as it explodes. The Autobots then head for their home planet of Cybertron...
  8. 'Oblivion'-...Once again, I have absolutely no idea what is going on. All that I can decipher is that Darth Vader creates the Terminator and apparently Galvatron wants it destroyed.
  9. 'Betrayal'-The Terminator attacks Naboo while the Autobots land on Tatooine to repair their broken ship. Decepticons Thrust and Landmine apparently destroy Six Shot (for reasons unknown) while the Autobots retrieve the spark of...someone.
  10. 'Target: Jhiaxus'-Megazarak attacks the Decepticons but is soon defeated. Scorponok arrives in the midst and is severely injured by Megazarak. Galvatron orders the others to heal him. Meanwhile, the Terminator hunts down the mad scientist Jhiaxus...
  11. 'Landmine Revealed'-Thrust sneaks onto Jhiaxus' ship and destroys both him and Terminator. Meanwhile, the Decepticons manage to brainwash Megazarak into working for them, and they rebuild Scorponok into Thundercracker. On Earth, the Autobots encounter Dragonizer (again), who violently kills the Autobot Red Alert. Dragonizer is then destroyed (again) by Hot Shot and Roadblock. Landmine then arrives and defects to the Autobots upon recognizing Optimus. They then head out to find the Star Saber...
PART 3
  1. 'The Star Saber'-Hot Shot and Roadblock head out to find a piece of the legendary Star Saber and encounter Starscream along the way. They are then saved by the Autobot Bulkhead and his team. The Autobots retrieve the Star Saber piece and return it to their base.
  2. 'Dimension: Bionicle'-The Autobots and the Decepticons are transferred to the Bionicle-verse presumably by Nemesis Prime and Slugslinger. After a brief battle, the two factions return home and Starscream rejoins the Decepticons. Elsewhere, the Star Saber falls into a black hole, rendering the entire quest a waste of time. Lovely.
  3. 'Rev It Up'-Thrust goes for a power hunt and becomes a 'shooting star' for it. During a random little battle, Snow Cat meets the Grim Reaper and is sent to execute Galvatron. And there is absolutely no 'revving up' in this issue...
  4. 'Worlds Collide'-storyarc-Unfortunately, I am missing the first issue in this arc. From what I can tell (and from memory), (a) mysterious being(s) arrive from the future and attack Earth. Among them is Scourge, who is defeated. Optimus Prime ends up in an alternate universe, but is freed by the other Autobots. Shockblast returns and Omega Supreme is awakened. There's also some guy called Sideswipe, but he doesn't do anything and he never appears again.
  5. 'Underground Base'-The Autobots discover an underground base controlled by a resurrected Alpha Quintesson. As usual, the 'Bots destroy him and his Building Transformer and blah blah blah...
  6. 'Rock and Roll Out'-Galvatron and the Decepticons go out to ruin a Journey concert but are defeated by the Autobots. Because Evil is lame, and Journey is forever. 
  7. 'Five Faces of Darkness'-Presumably the last issue made, I don't think I've found all of the pages, so I can't say what happens yet.
And that concludes Rise of Unicron's Heralds. I have technically made a wrap-up issue, but it contradicts the series in certain areas, so I won't put it up...for now.  

Transformers Armada: Rise of Unicron's Heralds-A made-up comic series by Transforminator: Part 1

Transformers Armada: Rise of Unicron's Heralds was a made-up comic series written and drawn by Transforminator (me,of course) presumably in 2007 and was the first Transformers comic series I ever made. Unfortunately, it was left unfinished and a few of its issues are missing. I have found most of them and below is a summary of most (if not all) of the issues.
VOLUME 1
  1. *No title*-The Autobots are in the midst of a battle against the Decepticons when Unicron and his minion Sideways appear and send all of the Mini-Cons (who the two factions are fighting over) to Earth. So they all head over there and, well, you know...
  2. *No title*-The 'Cons are freaking out over Unicron's arrival when they are visited by the Decepticon Thrust. Meanwhile, a certain dark wizard plans to challenge Megatron...
  3. 'Dragonizer'-Voldemort unleashes his own Transformer, Dragonizer, against the Autobots. The Decepticons join in and get their butts kicked. Suddenly, the Decepticon titan Tidal Wave arrives and crushes Dragonizer. How convenient...
  4. 'A New Enemy'-In space, the villainous Scorponok speaks with Unicron, who is upset with him for Great Scott knows what. On Earth, Voldemort unleashes Dragonizer 2.0, who kicks the Autobots' butts, but gets its own butt kicked by Scorponok. How random...
  5. 'A Tangled Web'-Unicron and Alpha Quintesson send Terrorcons Ravage and Divebomb to find the rogue Transformer Tarantulas. Instead, they run into the lost Autobot Inferno, who is defeated by the two Terrorcons. The Autobots arrive, and so does Tarantulas and...I can't tell what happens next, but Inferno soon joins Optimus' team.
  6. 'Energon Hunt'-To make up for Ravage and Divebomb's failures, Unicron and Alpha send the Terrorcon Cruellock to retrieve an Energon point in San Francisco. The Autobot Jetfire arrives in time to stop him. While Cruellock is defeated, Divebomb manages to capture both Optimus Prime and Megatron!
  7. 'Leaders in the Sky'-Optimus and Megatron escape their 'cell' and try to find a way out of Divebomb's prison (I'm presuming it's a prison). They run into Voldemort, who unleashes Dragonizer 3.0. Unfortunately, it falls apart like a piece of junk. Divebomb appears, along with Shockblast, to stop the two leaders. Optimus and Megatron combine and defeat the two of them. They then return to their respective teams in order to protect the Status Quo.
  8. 'A Cliffhanger'-Megatron upgrades one of his team's members, Cyclonus, into Snow Cat. Elsewhere, Tidal Wave chases the Terrorcon Insecticon, but is destroyed (or at least decapitated). At the Autobot base, the messenger Blurr arrives to bring a message...
  9. 'The Energon Sun/Return of Tidal Wave'-...I honestly have no idea what is going on in this issue, other than that Tidal Wave is rebuilt.
  10. 'Slugslinger' storyarc-Alpha Quintesson sends the bounty hunter Slugslinger to Earth. The Decepticons run into him in Colorado and get their butts kicked. Then the Autobots arrive and Slugslinger runs away like a scaredy cat. What a wimp. He later tracks down the Autobot Ironhide and steals his spark (which is basically a Transformer's heart). The mysterious Energon Sun causes Slugslinger to lose the spark, and the Autobots decide to go after it.
  11. 'Evil Twin'-Unicron sends Nemesis Prime to retrieve Ironhide's spark. He succeeds in doing so and brings it back to his master. Suddenly, the Energon Sun takes the spark, but it destroys him and returns to Ironhide's body. Ironhide then joins Optimus' team while, elsewhere, the Energon Sun retakes shape...
  12. 'The Final Battle'-The Autobots, Decepticons, and (presumably) Voldemort team up to take on Unicron. After a long battle, Megatron sacrifices himself to destroy the Planet-Eater. In the aftermath, it is presumed Starscream takes leadership. Autobots Scavenger and Smokescreen are destroyed during the battle as well.

Transformers: Fury of Tripredacus Summaries

Transformers: Fury of Tripredacus is a made-up comic series written and drawn by Transforminator in 2009. It is set in a separate universe from the Generation One multiseries, but is still based on the official G1-continuity, taking elements from Beast Wars and RID as well. In 2010, it was left unfinished, but this blog shall reveal what could and/or would have happened. Below is a summary of each issue.
PART 1: THE REAWAKENING
    1. 'Fury Rising': The mysterious Tripredacus Council meet at a Decepticon outpost. As they discuss the 'plan', they decide to send their agent, Onyx Primal, to carry out their wishes. On Earth, Megatron grows weary of Nemesis Prime, who decides to leave Earth when he becomes aware of the others' suspicions. On Cybertron, the Autobot commander Big Convoy leads his team against the invading Decepticon forces led by Galvatron.

    2. 'Battle on Cybertron': Big Convoy's team is overwhelmed by the Decepticons and are forced to retreat to Earth. Meanwhile, Megatron detects Convoy's signal and sends the brutish powerhouse Lugnut to eliminate them.

    3. 'Legend of Rodimus Prime': The legendary Autobot leader Rodimus Prime arrives on Earth and joins Optimus Prime's team. At that moment, Lugnut attacks the Ark (the Autobot's base), destroying its thrusters and rendering it immobile. Optimus, Rodimus, and Convoy's teams leave Earth on board shuttles and head back for Cybertron. Meanwhile, after informing of his brother Megatron of his victory, Galvatron is killed by the traitorous warrior, Deadlock.

    4. 'Retake of Cybertron': The Autobots return to Cybertron and battle Galvatron's Decepticon forces (now led by Cyclonus). In the end, the Decepticons are defeated and taken into Autobot custody.

    5-7. 'The Beast of Earth': The Dinobot leader Grimlock receives a vision of his claimed ancestor, the Beast, formerly known as Flame Convoy. Grimlock decides to head to the beast planet of Animatron in order to fulfill his legacy, taking the other Dinobots with him. Once there, he encounters the clan Sadios, who are at war against Clan Storm. After the elder Backstop tells Grimlock of the Beast's past, the evil Megastorm and his clan attacks. Grimlock and the Dinobots are forced to return to Earth, where the Beast awakens. The Dinobots suddenly activate a hidden combination feature and they form the titanic Dinoking. The gestalt battles with the Beast and shortly destroys him.

    8. 'Gathering for the Climax': The spirit of Alpha Trion appears before Optimus and tells him to gather all of the Autobots on Cybertron in order to prepare for an impending event. At the Decepticon base, Megatron finds a holo-book(?) that tells of the ancient warlord Gigatron. Megatron decides to use this information to reawaken Gigatron and the ancient Predacons.

    9. 'Tale of Omega Prime': On Cybertron, Optimus tells the tale of Omega Prime, who once co-led the Autobots along with Rodimus and Sentinel Prime, and was the one who defeated the Predacon ruler Gigatron shortly before vanishing. On Earth, Megatron finds the tomb of Gigatron.

    10. 'Omega Prime Arrives': As the title says, Omega Prime and his team of Autobots arrive on Earth and find Megatron in the midst of reawakening Gigatron. The Decepticons easily defeat Omega's team and force the Autobots to retreat. Omega later arrives on Cybertron and meets with Optimus' team just before revealing that he is in fact two Transformers united as one.

    11-12. 'Reawakening': Megatron recovers Gigatron's spark crystal and prepares to use it to bring back Gigatron. On Cybertron, the Decepticon Bludgeon attacks the Autobots. After being defeated, by Optimus, he reveals that the Predacon army had been reawakened. The Autobots return to Earth just as Gigatron arises from his tomb, destroying Megatron in the process. Optimus and Omega duel the ancient warlord but are easily defeated, and Gigatron sets out to rebuild his empire. Returning to Cybertron, Optimus speaks with Alpha Trion, who sends out Optimus to find the one thing that can stop Gigatron: the Zodiac!
PART 2:
    13. 'The Brave Legacy': Set some time after Part 1, Optimus Prime has given command over his team to Star Saber while he searches for the Zodiac. Autobots Ironhide and Jetfire head out in search of the legendary Gaogaigar (a character from the Transformers-like series Brave), who they believe has knowledge on the Zodiac. They locate Gaogaigar in Alaska and free him from an icy prison. However, the ancient machine reacts with hostility and attacks the two Autobots. Meanwhile, Starscream gloats over Megatron's demise and declares himself the new Decepticon leader. Just then, Nemesis Prime arrives and defeats Starscream, ordering the others to dispose of him. Back in Alaska, Ironhide and Jetfire manage to outrun Gaogaigar, only to get captured by large, reptilian creatures.

    14. 'Hunt for the Zodiac': Optimus Prime arrives on the planet Zodion, the supposed location of the Zodiac. While there, he meets two lost Autobots, Sky Garry and Grandus. When they find out he's after the Zodiac, they try to tell him that it is too dangerous, but he ignores their warnings. On Earth, Gigatron gathers his Predacon army and prepares to launch an attack on the Autobots. Elsewhere, the Tripredacus Council send out Onyx Primal to carry out their will.

    15. 'The Scourge of Nemesis Prime': The Decepticons attack the Autobot base, with Gaogaigar thrown in the midst. During the battle, Star Saber is killed by Nemesis Prime. Meanwhile, the Predacons are sent out to begin their attack as well.

    16. 'Tribe of the Hordika': Ironhide and Jetfire awaken in an underground lair belonging to the alien Hordika (based on characters from Bionicle). While they find a way to escape, the Hordika King sends his minions to execute them so not to escape the Makuta. Just then, the Autobot Skybolt arrives and frees Ironhide and Jetfire, leaving behind a very angered king.

    17. 'Zodion's Tales': Continuing his search for the Zodiac, Optimus encounters Onyx Primal, who captures the Autobot leader and takes him to the Zodaic's Guardian. Once there, Optimus activates an upgrade given to him by Alpha Trion and reformats in to a new body. The Guardian sends out his minions just as Sky Garry and Grandus arrive to help Optimus. Once his minions are defeated, the Guardian decides to allow Optimus to continue his search.

    18. 'Brave Redemption': On Chaar, Bludgeon gathers the Decepticon Pretenders and plots an attack against the Autobots and the Predacons in order to bring back their original leader, Thunderwing. On Earth, the Decepticons have captured the Autobots and are about to execute them when Gaogaigar arrives to save them. While he battles with the 'Con gestalt Ruination, the Autobots use the 'Cons' distraction to their advantage and escape. Ruination is destroyed and the Autobots return home. In the battle's aftermath, Bludgeon, who had tried to interfere with the battle, is taken away by Nemesis.

    19-20. 'Return to Animatron': Grimlock finds out that Gigatron is from Animatron and heads back there to find a way to stop the Predacon ruler. Once there, he discovers that Megastorm had taken over the planet and approaches him for information. After telling the Dinobot of Gigatron's history, Megastorm sends his minions to capture Grimlock. He holds them off while the Clan Sadios member Ligerjack duels with Megastorm and seemingly kills him. Suddenly, Megastorm is reformatted into a new body by unknown means. As he attacks the two beast warriors, Autobots Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt arrive to help them. A wormhole randomly opens and the four Autobots, Megastorm, and others are sucked in. The Tripredacus Council notices this and sends their agent Magmatron to investigate.

    21. 'Zodiac: Found, Location: Earth': On Zodion, Optimus, Sky Garry, and Grandus continue their quest for the Zodiac. Eventually, they find Onyx Primal leaving the desolate planet...along with the Zodiac! The three Autobots pursue Onyx's ship and follow it through hyperspace, ending up on Earth. Just as they manage to retrieve the Zodiac, Gigatron appears and snatches it from their hands.

    22. 'Brotherly Hate': Optimus speaks to Alpha Trion about their loss and asks the Autobot elder about Nemesis Prime. It is revealed by Trion that Nemesis was once known as Dion, an Autobot warrior and Optimus' brother. He had high hopes of becoming Autobot leader until the High Council chose Optimus instead. He then joined the Decepticons and was rebuilt into a new body, taking on the name Nemesis Prime, as a mockery of Optimus. Elsewhere, Nemesis speaks with a mysterious being . Later, Megatron's corpse is brought before the being, who decides that the former Decepticon deserved a second lease on life.

    23. 'Wrath of the Predacons': Gigatron unleashes his Predacon forces and attacks the Autobot base. During the ensuing battle, Optimus confronts Gigatron, who impales the Autobot leader with his double-edged 'lightsaber'. The dying Autobot then activates the other blade, sending it through Gigatron's chest. Before the Predacon leader can die, however, the Tripredacus Council fuse the other Predacons into Gigatron's body, merging into 'Devil Gigatron'. The Predacon ruler then heads out on a course for Cybertron.

    24. 'Fury of Gigatron': Gigatron arrives on Cybertron and confronts Omega Prime. On Earth, Optimus uses the Matrix of Leadership to preserve his life long enough so he can combine with Jetfire to take on Gigatron. He heads for Cybertron and faces against Gigatron. When he fails as well, Gaogaigar appears and takes the Zodiac back from Gigatron and plunges it into the Predacon ruler's spark, destroying him once and for all.

    25. 'Epilogue': In a data-record written by Optimus Prime, it is revealed what has happen after Gigatron's demise; the Decepticons, still led by Nemesis Prime, have fled for places unknown. Gaogaigar had left the Autobots and went out to explore the cosmos. Finally, it is reported that the elite Wreckers have set out to investigate a mysterious distress signal. Overall, the Autobots have finally achieved peace...for now.
BEAST WARS 
    1. 'Adapting': Taking place after the 'Return of Animatron' story-arc, Grimlock fins himself in a jungle very similar to Animatron, but with some strange differences. He encounters a group of small, techno-organic Transformers called Maximals. From them, he discovers that he is in fact on prehistoric Earth. Meanwhile, Megastrom meets a Transformers named Magmatron, and decides to make a deal with him in return for power. Elsewhere, a Predacon resembling Megatron detects Megastorm and Magmatron's sigmals and decides to investigate.

    2. 'Ambush': At the Maximal Base, Grimlock is upgrades into a smaller, more organic form, though he doesn't seem to like it much. They then head out after detecting nearby Predacon activity. Grimlock and the Maximal Cheetor encounter Megastorm and are easily beated by him. Megastorm then leaves and runs into the Predacon Megatron along the way. Elsewhere, Magmatron speaks with the Tripredacus Council, telling them that he had found a number of Cybertronian protoforms.

    3. 'Awakening': Gigatron's Predacons, led by Sky-Byte, arrive through the wormhole, having survived Gigatron's demise. Meanwhile, the Maximals are battling Megatron's Predacons. While the Pred' Tarantulas watches from the Predacon base, Sky-Byte and his buddies sneak in and free Megastorm, whom Megatron had captured for some reason. After leaving the Pred' base, they come across the Autobots Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide.

    4. 'Legend': Megastorm prepares to eliminate the three Autobots when he is knocked away by the Maximal Rhinox, who takes the Autobots to the base, where they are reformatted into organic bodies. Elsewhere, the Tripredacus Council decide that it is time for them to make their move and they combine into the gestalt Tripreadacus. On Earth, the Maximal leader Optimus Primal tells the three Autobots the tale of Magnaboss, a titanic hero who defeated Tripredacus long ago and who, legend has it, was divided into three, certain Autobots. Meanwhile, Magmatron gathers his team and heads for the Predacon base.

    5. 'Rebirth': At the Pred' base, Magmatron warns Megatron of an impending storm, one that will be impossible to stop alone. Later, Magmatron's team attacks the Maximal base in order to buy his master(s) enough time. Soon, emerging from the wormhole, is Tripredacus! At that moment, Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt merge together and form the legendary warrior Magnaboss!

    6. 'Combat and Epilogue': While Magnaboss and Tripredacus duel, Magmatron and his team retreat and head back into the wormhole. Magnaboss decides to take the chance and takes Grimlock with him through the portal. Tripredacus heads through it as well, followed by Megastorm. The former ruler of Animatron challenges Tripredacus, who simply destroys him. This caused the villainous gestalt to lose time and the portal closes, trapping between time and space forever. In the present timeline, Grimlock and the other Autobots arrive on Cybertron unharmed.
PART 3
    After Beast Wars was finished, Transforminator began two separate series; Part 3 of F.O.T., and Target: 2010. In this post, we shall consider these two series to be one and the same.

    26. 'Tale of the Expansion': A tale is told of the former Cybertron leader Nova Prime, who left his home world to expand the Transformers race, and vanished shortly after, leading to the formation of the Autobots by the High Council. In the present, the High Council speak of Gigatron's demise and thinking if they had finally entered a new age of peace. However, one of the councilors remind them of You-Know-Who...(I assure you, it is definintely NOT Voldemort)

    27. 'Return of the Screamer': On Chaar, Bludgeon is upgraded into a new, samurai-like form by Shockwave. Just then, Starscream appears, seeking revenge on Nemesis Prime. Bludgeon faces against Starscream, who is quickly beaten. Suddenly, a voice bellows out, and the Decepticons look up to see Megatron.

    28. 'Prelude to Apocalypse': Emirate Xaaron informs the High Council that the Matrix Flame had died out, foretelling dark times ahead. Xaaron then assembles the elite Autobot Wreckers to begin Operation: Volcano. Elsewhere, three mysterious beings arrive through a portal.

    29. 'Traitor Among Us': The Autobots discover that one of their own had downloaded information on Operation: Volcano and has given it to the Decepticons. Ultra Magnus sends the Autobot detective Nightbeat and his partner Siren to find the traitor. In Cybertron's underworld, they arrest a Decepticon connected to the traitor, but won't tell who it is. Elsewhere, the traitor sends the 'Con Umbra to frame one of the Autobots.

    30. 'Evil Then, Evil Now': As soon as Megatron appears on Chaar, alive and well despite his previous death, Galvatron arrives as well. The two of them duke it out, carrying their duel all the way to Earth, where a group of Autobots bear witness to their duel. In the end, Galvatron defeats Megatron and takes command of the Decepticons.

    31. 'Under Construction': The Autobots find the Decepticons constructing a strange device. Before they can head back to base to warn Optimus, Cyclonus pursues them. On Cybertron, Magnus decides to drop out of Operation: Volcano and head to Earth to ensure the Matrix of Leadership's safety. Once there, he saves the Autobots from Cyclonus. At the Ark, Hound tells Optimus that Jazz had been captured by the 'Cons. Meanwhile, Ironhide digs out Megatron, who is bent on revenge.

    32. 'War Without End': A Decepticon assassin is sent to eliminate Rodimus Prime. However, he is stopped by Magnus (?) in time. On Nexus Seven, Grimlock and a team of Autobots defeat a group of Decepticons. As soon as they leave, the Cybertronian Empire arrives....
WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED
    'The Traitor': The traitor would've been revealed to be either one of these Autobots: Siren, Sideswipe, or Mirage. After discovering them, Nightbeat would've killed them and recover the info on Operation: Volcano

    'Megalvatron': It would've been revealed that Galvatron was in fact Megatron reborn, and that 'Megatron' was the Decepticon Straxus in disguise.

    'The Cybertronian Empire': The Empire would've been the main antagonists of the third volume, led by Jhiaxus and the Liege Maximo.

    'Nova Prime': Nova would appear and be related in some part to the Cybertronian Empire.

    'You-Know-Who': This mysterious entity would turn out to be the Fallen, who would appear at the end of the third volume and lead into the next.

    'Part Four'-This would've been the final volume in F.O.T. and would be about the battle between the Autobots/Decepticons and Unicron and the Fallen.

Transformers: G1 Strikes Back-A made-up comic by Transforminator

Transformers: G1 Strikes Back is the final series in the Generation One multiseries. Like all of the comics we've mentioned, it is written and drawn by Transforminator and was made entirely for fun. The Transformer concept and characters belong to Hasbro. Once again, below is a summary of each (not really all) of the issues.
  1. 'Death's Head'-Galvatron hires the bounty hunter freelance peacekeeping agent codenamed 'Death's Head' to eliminate Rodimus. The Autobots struggle to keep him out, but their attempts fail, and Death's Head breaks into Rodimus' base.
  2. 'Ocean City'-Death's Head is captured, Galvatron is killed by Megatron and some of the Decepticons decide to join the Autobots. The ex-Con Snowstorm comes across Galvatron's remains on Unicron's planetoid form and encounters the Decepticon Thrust. The 'Con convinces Snowstorm to rejoin the Decepticons, along with the giant Tidal Wave, while Unicron resurrects Galvatron. The new team of Decepticons than head for Earth...
  3. 'The Hunt for Demolishor'-Galvatron sends Snowstorm and Tidal Wave to attack Ocean City, while he searches for the recently reformed Demolishor. After Ocean City is destroyed, the surviving Autobots encounter Scorponok, who sends his Divebomb drones at them..
  4. 'The Vehicons'-Galvatron returns to the Decepticon base and overthrows Megatron, throwing him out towards space. On Earth, the Ocean City survivors manage to escape Scorponok and return to Optimus Prime's base. Optimus than sends Grimlock and the Dinobots to find Scorponok. They manage to locate him and they engage in a duel. Unfortunately, their fight is left unresolved. Meanwhile, Megatron manages to reach Cybertron and activates his Vehicon army...
  5. 'Stormbringer' storyarc-Optimus Prime sends Impactor and the Wreckers to Cybertron and hold off the Vehicon drone army. After defeating a unit on the outskirts of Iacon, the Wreckers regroup at their base. Just as they begin to set out again, they are payed a visit by Impactor's old friend, Emirate Xaaron. Below Cybertron's surface, the Fallen reawakens and sends out a foe long thought forgotten: the second Megatron that Shockwave summoned in Generation One! At the Wreckers' base, Xaaron informs Impactor that the real Megatron is planning to send his Vehicon army to Earth. Meanwhile,(Real)Megatron rebuilds his body and returns to Earth, destroying Galvatron again in the process.
  6. 'The Neo-Maximals'-The second Megatron arrives on Earth and terrorizes the humans. Elsewhere, Unicron (presumably) sends the Neo-Maximals to Earth. And nothing happens. How anticlimactic.
  7. 'Chaos' saga-Pt.1: The Ancient Secrets-Autobots Jazz, Bumblebee, and Grimlock are sent to Cybertron to find any remaining Vehicons. Instead, they accidentally end up in Cybertron's core and encounter the Keeper, the core's guardian. Meanwhile, Sideways presents Thrust an offer to join the Heralds of Unicron. After much consideration, Thrust accepts the offer and steals the Dark Saber for Sideways. Within Cybertron, Grimlock accidentally disturbs Cybertron's core and awakens the ancient Transformer 'god' Primus. Angered, the Keeper orders the three Autobots to leave Cybertron. Shortly after they depart, Sideways enters the chamber and kills the Keeper with the staff of Unicron. On Earth, the Decepticon Shokaract is taking part in a battle against the Autobots until he is summoned by Sideways to rejoin the Heralds of Unicron. The three of them then gather the Dark Fleet and launch an attack on Earth...
  8. 'Chaos' saga-Pt.2: Reign of Chaos-Optimus Prime and the Autobots head out on the Ark to stop the Dark Fleet and the three heralds. Their efforts are in vain, as Thrust then activates the Hydra Cannon and fires at the Ark. Suddenly, before it can destroy the Autobot ship, reinforcements led by the Autobot commander Modus Prime arrive and stop the Hydra Cannon. The Dark Fleet than leaves Earth and heads for Cybertron, with both Optimus and Megatron's forces in pursuit. The Decepticons aim for the fleet flagship's weak spot and destroy it. Sideways and Shokaract vanish while Thrust is taken away by Megatron. 
  9. 'Return of the Neo-Maximals'-The Neo-Maximals come across the second Megatron and they head out to find Neo-Primal. After locating their leader, they go to speak with their true master, the Savage. The Savage reveals that he was once known as the Noble Autobot until he was corrupted by Nova Prime and Unicron. After telling his backstory, the Savage realizes that the Neo-Maximals were planning on betraying him, and so he destroys them. He then goes on to destroy the second Megatron as well. The Savage soon leaves Earth for places unknown.
  10. 'End of the Storm' -Megatron launches an ultimate attack on the Autobots and duels with Optimus Prime himself. Their duel comes to a short end when both leaders impale each other and Megatron is destroyed for good. In the battle's aftermath, Optimus Prime passes the Matrix of Leadership to Rodimus Prime and dies of his wounds. Megatron's remains are then disposed of into the sea and the remaining Decepticons either flee or form another alliance with the Autobots.
And thus ends the Generation One multiseries, the second series created by the Transforminator, after an Armada-based series. It was then succeeded by the Fury of Tripredacus series, which will be detailed on another day...

After Guardians of Unicron was finished, Transforminator planned on making a sequel called Evolution, which would have been based on the TV series Beast Wars. This plan never came to fruition, and a different series was written instead.

Transformers: Return of Generation One-Sequel to Generation One

Transformers: Return of Generation One is technically the second sequel to Generation One.

Thunderwing detects the ship and breaks into it, stealing the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus Prime. Thunderwing than presents the Matrix to Unicron, who is angered that the herald did not destroy it when he had the chance.

Megatron reluctantly agrees and the two factions head out to defeat the World Devourer...
  9. 'Endgame-Battle'-Optimus and Megatron head into Unicron's spark chamber, where they encounter Sideways. During their battle, Thunderwing has a slight change of heart and throws the Matrix to Optimus. While Megatron sacrifices his life to defeat Sideways, Optimus uses the Matrix to destroy Unicron.

  10. 'Broken Alliance' Pt.1-Two years after Unicron's demise and the formation of the Alliance, Galvatron speaks with Nova Prime (the original Optimus) and the two of them begin to develop a plan to topple the Alliance. Meanwhile, a strange power or entity sneaks into the Alliance's base and begins to corrupt Rodimus, forcing him to abandon a (seemingly) dead Autobot. Elsewhere, Galvatron and Nova decide to form a new faction, one that would, in their eyes, bring down the Alliance. And thus, the Renegades are formed...
  11. 'Broken Alliance' Pt.2-Rodimus grows to be more corrupt while under the influence of the strange entity. He then summons the Renegades to attack the Alliance, ending with Nova Prime taking command over the broken faction. He then exiles the Autobots, who go on to form the Outcasts faction.

The exiled Autobots trick Maximo into stepping into a bottomless pit, and the villainous being plummets to his demise. With Maximo's death, his hold over Rodimus lifts, and the fallen Autobot begins to doubt his actions. Before he can correct his mistakes, Nova Prime kills him. In the aftermath, Nova vanishes and the Alliance divides itself between Autobots and Decepticons once again.
  14. 'Dead Alliance' Pt.1-Autobots Ironhide, Ratchet, and Outback travel to the planet Icono and find a mysterious being speaking with Sideways, who has apparently survived his battle with Megatron.

  15. 'Dead Alliance' Pt.2-Ironhide and Co. arrive at a settlement on Icono and meets with its leader, Rapid Run.

  16. 'Flamewar'-The Autobots find Flamewar on Earth and confront the female Decepticon. Unfortunately, their confrontation is left unsolved, as well as Jhiaxus' conflict with Arcee. 'Cause we're mean.

Transformers: Generation One-A made-up comic series by Transforminator: Part Three

GENERATION ONE
VOLUME THREE
The third volume of Generation One has a unique one. The first four issues in it were written shortly after Volume Two was finished. However, Transforminator ran out of ideas and left it unfinished, creating a semi-reboot instead. After finishing the 'reboot', he decided to find a way to tie the two series together. After much brainstorming, he decided to write a conclusion to Generation One's third volume in order to tie them together. 
  1. 'Arise, Nova Prime'-Set in the year 2015, the Autobots have set up a new base on Earth, which has been named Autobot City. Just as a shuttle arrives to bring supplies, it is suddenly attacked by the Combaticons, who had somehow escaped Galvatron's space bridge! They form Bruticus and attack the city, in search of Optimus Prime. They manage to find the Autobot leader and nearly crush him to death. The bridge suddenly sends a beam of energy which saves Optimus, upgrading him into Nova Prime. Bruticus is then defeated by the Autobots. Meanwhile, the space bridge reactivates again and Galvatron steps out...
  2. 'A New Terror'-Galvatron frees Decepticons Bombshell and Thundercracker and grants them new bodies as a reward of their services. They take on the names Cyclonus and Scourge respectively and head for Autobot City. Their attack is short-lived, because as soon as Nova Prime arrives, Galvatron and his goons immediately retreat. Meanwhile, Galvatron sets up a secret hideout and plans to release the other Decepticons...
  3. 'The Targetmasters'-A new Decepticon, Weirdwolf, arrives at Autobot City, which immediately transforms into Fortress Maximus. Weirdwolf calls them wise guys and leaves when the Autobot Targetmasters begin shooting at him. Galvatron then sends Cyclonus and Scourge with Targetmaster partners to attack the Autobots. During the battle, Weirdwolf frees Astrotrain from the space bridge, and the other 'Cons soon retreat. 
  4. 'Scourge's Secret'-Galvatron is telling his Decepticons about his plan in freeing the trapped ones from the space bridge, but Scourge disagrees with his plan, saying that the other 'Cons had failed them so many times. He tries to come up with another excuse, but fails, so Galvatron goes with his plan. So...no secret for you.
The following info was revealed in a special issue, which, as mentioned above, tied up this series with the others.
  1. '(No title)-Galvatron finally manages to free the other Decepticons form the space bridge, giving some of his most loyal followers upgrades, including the newly rebuilt Soundwave. The 'Cons than launched a surprise assault on Autobot City. Nova Prime and his Autobots were no match for them and were forced to retreat on the Ark II. The Autobots returned to Cybertron, and Nova went to speak with the High Council. After much discussion, the Autobot Elders decided that the Autobots needed a new leader and chose Hot Rod to succeed Nova, naming him Rodimus Prime. Surprisingly angered by this, Nova left the Autobots, taking the Matrix of Leadership with him.
  2. 'Nightscream's Return'-In the depths of space, Nightscream, despite having been thought dead, returns and comes across Shockwave's remains. Unwillingly, Nightscream uses his powers to resurrect Shockwave. The two decide upon an alliance in order to take revenge on Galvatron, who, in their minds, had deserted them. Meanwhile, Rodimus organizes a plan to defeat the Decepticons on Earth. He then takes several ships, all with a number of six dozen Autobots, to Earth and launches an attack on the Decepticons. At first, it seems the Autobots have gained the upper hand, until, suddenly, Unicron appears, accompanied by Nova Prime! The Chaos Bringer unleashes a blast of energy that decimates Earth and causes Galvatron to mysteriously vanish...
  3. 'Foreboding'-Nightscream and Shockwave arrive on Cybertron and head for the latter's secret lair in Tarn. There they use a unique space bridge to summon a being form a parallel reality. This being is none other...than Megatron! Elsewhere, Galvatron awakes to find himself before a corrupted Nova Prime, who convinces him to make a truce between them, and they begin to plot their next move. On Cybertron, Rodimus and the Autobots return, defeated. They then receive a strange Cybertronian signal from the planet Klo. Rodimus takes a team to investigate the signal and find a surprising sight: Optimus Prime!
  4. 'Rise of the Quintessons' storyarc-Galvatron arrives on Quintessa and speaks with its ruler, Lord Kledji. The two agree on an alliance, and the Quintessons creates an army of drones for Galvatron to command. Kledji suddenly double crosses him and unleashes a fused clone of Optimus and Megatron on the former Decepticon leader, and Galvatron is destroyed once and for all. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the Optimus Prime found on Klo is, like Megatron, a being from a parallel reality that had been destroyed. Rodimus passes on leadership to him just as Shockwave, Nightscream, and the alternate Megatron arrive and attack the Autobots. The trio steal the alternate Optimus' Matrix of Leadership and escape. Shortly after this defeat, the sage Alpha Trion decides to grant Optimus the ancient Apex Armor. On Earth, Megatron takes over the Decepticons and they begin to celebrate over their acquirement of the Matrix. Suddenly, Nova Prime appears and destroys Megatron, taking the second Matrix for himself.
  5. 'Gathering'-Optimus Prime, armored with the Apex Armor, leads the Autobots on one last attempt to defeat the Decepticons and arrive on Earth. During the ensuing battle, a mysterious being known as the Liege Maximo watches on. He recovers Galvatron's remains and rebuilds them into Megatron once more. 
  6. 'Revelation'-As the battle rages on, Nova Prime returns and unleashes his ultimate creation; Metrotitan. The titanic machine began crushing Autbots and Decepticons alike, one by one. In the end, it was between Optimus, Rodimus, Nova, and Megatron. As their duel became too chaotic, Maximo decided he had seen enough and tore the Matrix form Nova's chest, throwing the fallen Autobot into Maximo's Pit. Optimus then took the Matrix from Maximo and unleashed its energies to vanquish the ancient being.
  7. 'The End...'-In the battle's aftermath, Megatron retakes command over the Decepticons and calls for a temporary ceasefire, in order to allow everyone to regather their strength. Optimus accepted this and set up a new base on Earth, using the Ark II which had crashed during Rodimus' first strike. Nightscream becomes mortal again and renames himself Starscream. As for why the Autobots and Decepticons are still at war, well...let's just say that Transformers aren't exactly the brightest robots...

  11. 'War Dawn'-The Protectobots decide to annoy Optimus and head into a time machine, ending up on Cybertron millions of years in the past! There they meet Optimus' past self, Orion Pax, as well as Starscream and Jetfire's past selves. They then encounter some weird looking stick figure, but manage to kill it. They then return to the present to find a confused Optimus.
  12. 'Forever Is a Long Time Coming'-Nightscream possesses an Autobot Guard-bot and attacks Earth. The Autobots arrive to stop him, along with the Decepticons Skywarp and Thundercracker.

  13. 'Into the Smelting Pool'-On Cybertron (or Earth, it's hard to tell), the Autobot Clicker ends up at the Decepticon Smelting Pool controlled by Straxus and is about to be executed when the Autobots Blaster and Perceptor save him.

  14. 'Dinobot Island'-On Dinobot Island, home to the Autobot team lead by Grimlock, the Predacons discover an orb that they plan on bringing to Galvatron.

He then prepares his ultimate attack...
  19. 'The Bridge to Nowhere'-Galvatron and the Decepticons attack the Auitobot base when it is (stupidly) left defenseless. Wreck-Gar alerts the Autobots, who arrive to handle off the invading forces. The base's self-destruct device goes off and both factions manage to escape in time. This somehow activates Galvatron's space bridge device, which sucks up all of the Decepticons and locks them away. Meanwhile, in space, Unicron sets the next stage in his own plan...

Transformers: Generation One--An old made-up comic series made by Transforminator: Part One

Transformers: Generation One is a made-up comic series written and drawn by Transforminator in 2008.  What you shall read here is a summary of the events in the multiple series that comprise this 'mega-series'.
Please note that the Transformers concept and characters belong to Hasbro. This comic and its summary is only made for fun.
GENERATION ONE
PART 1
With their home world Cybertron dying, the Autobots, led by the brave Optimus Prime, set out to find more Energon. The Decepticons pursue them and they both end up on the planet Earth, where they lay dormant for the next four million years. When they finally awake, their Great War continues.
In this series' first volume, several events are episodic, thus they shall be detailed per issue.
  1. 'A Destructive Time'-The Decepticons summon/reawaken the Combaticons, who combine in to the giant gestalt Bruticus. The Autobots summon the Proctectobots to Earth, who unleash their combined form, Defensor, on Bruticus. After being defeated, the Combaticons retreat.
  2. 'Doom is Coming'-After meeting two humans-Jimmy and Hunter-the Autobot Ratchet is pursued by the Decepticons. He is briefly captured by the Seeker Thundercracker until he is freed by Optimus and the others. Jimmy and Hunter then tell the Autobots that their friend, Spike, is in Megatron's hands as well.
  3. 'Autobot Spike'-The Autobots break into Megatron's lair and free Spike. I will admit, it is a pretty boring issue...
  4. 'Operation: Oblivion'-The Autobots create (I think) the Headmaster and Targetmaster technology. However, Shockwave is able to steal the information and bring it to Megatron. The Headmaster Scorponok betrays the Autobots and prepares to kill Optimus Prime..
  5. 'Strike Three, You're Out'-Autobots Sideswipe and Sunstreaker arrive in time to save Optimus. Ironhide uses the Pretender technology to become a human and sneaks into Scorponok's transector (which is a piloted robot suit) and destroys it. Zarak is presumably destroyed as well and the Autobots return home.
  6. 'Rise of Unicron' storyarc-Megatron goes through an upgrade process and emerges as Galvatron. He is then captured by the mysterious Unicron, along with Decepticons Thundercracker, Bombshell, Runamuck, and Blitzwing. He then puts his captives to a test and pits them against strange, insectoid beings. The Constructicons strangely appear suddenly and form the gestalt Devastator. They manage to destroy the beings and return to Earth. Later, the Autobots confront Galvatron and the Decepticons. During the ensuing battle, a minion of Unicron's, Lugnut, arrives and captures Optimus Prime and four other Autobots. He then breaks into the Autobot's base and steals the Allspark..
  7. 'Ready, Set, Transform'-Ironhide leads a small team of Autobots to find Optimus and their captured comrades. They end up at a NASCAR-styled race held by the Decepticon human ally, Master Disaster. They defeat Disaster's Decepticon contact and manage to free Optimus and the other Autobots.
  8. 'The Pretenders' storyarc-Wheeljack improves the Pretender technology, allowing any Transformer to assume a human-sized form. Bumblebee and Jazz are given Pretender forms and they head for San Francisco with Wheeljack. Laserbeak reports this to 'Megatron', who sends the Constructicons to retrieve the device. With the three Autobots distracted, 'Megatron' then sends Thunderwing and Bludgeon to prepare a solar eclipse to leave Earth in total darkness. While Devastator is defeated, Bruticus is then sent to stall the Autobots. During the ensuing, 'Megatron' is revealed to be Starscream, who is punished by Galvatron. The eclipse fails and the Decepticons retreat.
  9. 'Child's Play'-The Decepticons attempt an attack on the Autobot's base (the Ark), sending in the 'Conehead' trio. Fortress Maximus attempts to hold them off, but is defeated. Suddenly, the Autobot Hardhead arrives and kicks Galvatron's butt. (Seriously)
  10. 'The Ark's Takeover' storyarc-Being persistent as ever, Galvatron stages another attack on the Autobot's base and the Decepticons invade. While Optimus' team is distracted, the Decepticon minion Rumble sneaks in and activates the Ark's self-destruct sequence. The Autobots manage to escape in time as their base explodes. After their apparent victory, the Decepticons attempt to leave Earth but are stopped by the Autobots. Optimus and Galvatron confront each other again, with their duel ending with Galvatron's apparent demise, his remains ending up on a distant moon. Starscream takes command over the Decepticons and retreat, while the Autobots take care of the injured Prowl and Bumblebee.

The Transformers--Main/Major Villains: Part Two

VIOLEN JYGAR
Violen Jygar, the Phantom Emperor of Chaos, was an ancient, alien being who lived in the deepest realms of space. In an older life, he was three separate entities-Vion, Igren, and Lenja-until they were fused into one being by unknown means. He was seen as a threat by the first thirteen Transformers and they set out to defeat the Phantom. They eventually succeeded in doing so, and Jygar was left as a weakened, faint spirit.
Millions of years later, during the Great War, the many sparks and corpses of deceased Destrons and Decepticons joined together and recreated the Phantom Emperor's body. After Unicron's second defeat at the hands of the Autobots, Violen Jygar found Galvatron and gave him the idea of merging with Cybertron's core and becoming the planet itself. This was a ploy, however, in order to get Cybertron into its long forgotten robot form so that Jygar to transfer his spirit into it. While he did succeed in transferring his spirit, his triumph was short-lived as the Autobot Rodimus Prime was briefly given a giant body by the Matrix, which was used to destroy Violen Jygar and return Cybertron to its planetary state.
Despite his apparent death, some of the elder Autobots and the original Thirteen theorize that Violen Jygar lived on in some form, and that more sparks of deceased Decepticons would come together again and allow the Phantom Emperor to rise once more.
JHIAXUS AND HIS EMPIRE
Jhiaxus was a Guardian scientist who served under Nova Prime near the end of the Destron War. When Nova took off on the original Ark to begin his Expansion, Jhaixus accompanied him and, unwittingly, ended up in the Dead Universe. There they encountered the Fallen, who convinced Nova and his companions to join him.
Millions of years later, Jhiaxus assisted Nova in carrying out the Expansion and to absorb Earth's Sun. He sent various minions such as Grindcore to stop the Autobots from intervening, though they all failed. After Nova was seemingly killed, Jhaixus retreated from the Dead Universe and went into hiding.
During his exile, Jhiaxus crossed paths with the Liege Maximo, a brother of the Fallen, who presented an alternative to Nova's plan. Instead of conquering the universe by torturous means, he should instead conquering, it should be conquered by brute force, or, in Maximo's mind, an invasion.
Thus, Jhiaxus formed the Cybertronian Empire out of the remnants of Nova Prime's followers, as well as renegade Decepticons. He then began conquering numerous worlds, including Gorlam Prime and the Galactan system. He then led his forces to Cybertron, launching a devastating invasion that nearly saw the empire victory. At the last minute, however, Rodimus Prime sneaked onto Jhaixus' flagship, the Twilight, and used the Matrix once more to wipe out the Cybertronian Empire. While the Matrix did destroy the empire, Jhaixus managed to survive along with Rodimus via a portal and mysteriously vanished.
It is unknown if Jhiaxus escaped the portal, nor where he escaped to. 
SHOCKWAVE
Out of all of the villains the Autobots have encountered during their adventures, Shockwave is the most clever and deceiving. Before the Great War, he was a pupil of Jhiaxus during Nova Prime's age shortly before the Guardian leader took off to start his Expansion plan. When the Autobots were formed, Shockwave became High Governor of Tarn.
Years later, Shockwave discovered of the Decepticon uprising and decided to join the new faction, becoming one of Megatron's top lieutenants. When Megatron left to pursue the Autobots led by Optimus Prime, he left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticon forces on Cybertron. 
Four million years later, after Megatron's return and later imprisonment, Shockwave took command once again during a brief Decepticon civil war, leading Megatron's most loyal followers. When Megatron returned as Galvatron, Shockwave mysteriously vanished.
During the Unicron conflict, Shockwave expanded on a plot he devised during his temporary reign over the Decepticons; a plot to overthrow Megatron. He gathered a small group of Decepticons who were disloyal to Megatron and launched an attack on Cybertron in order to draw out Galvatron so that he could destroy them. Shockwave was defeated however, and he decided to take his followers to Axiom Nexus, a multiversal hub for all Transformers. While he succeeded in taking over the vast city, he was unable to taking his enslaved forces to Cybertron due to Starscream blocking out all paths out of the city.
Years later, the ancient being Necros Prime arrived in Axiom Nexus and offered Shockwave to let him help in finding a way out of the city, which Shockwave accepted. However, once Necros had created a portal exit, Shockwave attempted to kill Necros. His attempt failed and he was savagely beaten by the Prime. As a sort of punishment, Necros sent Shockwave away to an alternate universe based on the Pixar movies.
While in the Pixar-verse, Shockwave brought together two ultimate plans. One was to create a new body out of parts from the Axiom ship so he could strike fear in the humans' hearts and enslave their world. This plot was foiled as well by the Autobot team led by Optimus Minor, who captured Shockwave and sent him back to their universe's Cybertron.
Shortly after his capture, Unicron's Abduction began, setting the stage for Shockwave's next plan; to merge Unicron with Cybertron and use the Chaos Bringer's body as a vessel to conquer the universe. He used the Decepticons led by Megastorm to stall the Autobots long enough to bring Unicron/Cybertron into Earth's orbit. He then traveled into Unicron's core so he could replace Unicron's spark with his own. He was prevented though by Optimus Minor (or Orion Pax) and Megastorm, the latter who finally killed Shockwave by shooting him through the chest.
Shockwave's death and Unicron's final demise would unwittingly bring an alliance between the Autobots and Decepticons and an end to their war.

The Transformers--Main/Major Villains: Part One

ATHA PRIME
Atha Prime was one of the original Thirteen Transformers and was entrusted by the others to guard the dark creations of Unicron. However, one of theses creations, the Mask of Vengeance, gained sentience and tempted Atha to don it. Once Atha did, he became corrupted by power, and betrayed his brothers and sisters. He was defeated by them and had his spirit sealed within the mask, which, overtime, was left forgotten in the vaults of Cybertron.
Millions of years later, long after the Great War between the Autobots and the Decepticons began, Megazarak, former leader of the Destrons and presumed Herald of Unicron, was tasked with finding the Mask of Vengeance and reawakening Atha Prime. He succeeded in finding the mask and, while Atha's original body was being rebuilt, allowed the ancient Transformer to use his body as a temporary replacement.
The Autobots soon arrived on Cybertron and began fighting against Megazarak's forces, with the Autobot leader Optimus Prime against Atha. When Atha Prime's original form was finished (after briefly gaining sentience), Atha took control over it and eliminated Megazarak. He then prepared to wipe out the Autobots until they found a way to distract him. With that done, they then used a superweapon of his to destroy him.
Although the Autobots had achieved victory, Atha Prime was far from dead. His spirit had managed to survive and he waited for the right moment to strike. He seized the first opportunity he saw: the Fallen's solar harvester.
Atha possessed the harvester and attempted to destroy the Autobots again until one of his brothers, Vector Prime, intervened and destroyed the harvester, killing Atha Prime in the process.
After his final defeat, Atha Prime would be forgotten by nearly all Transformers, save for his brother, the Fallen, who would vow not to make the same mistake Atha made; to let his arrogance get the best of him.
THE FALLEN
The Fallen was once known as Megatronus Prime, one of the thirteen original Transformers and the guardian of entropy. Megatronus was the most ambitious of the Thirteen, which led to him succumbing to Unicron's temptations and becoming the Chaos Bringer's first herald. He led an invasion on Cybertron, and started the Cataclysm, which would have caused Cybertron's extinction had it not been for Prima's sacrifice. After Unicron's defeat, Megatronus fled to the Dead Universe, where he would take on the alias 'the Fallen'. 
Thousands of years later, the Guardian leader Nova Prime arrived in the Dead Universe and encountered the Fallen. The Fallen convinced Nova to become his apprentice and to gather an army that the Fallen would use to enact his revenge on the Transformers. At some point later, the Fallen would make contact with the Autobot Tronion, convincing him to form the Decepticons and giving him the name Megatron.
More than four million years later, the Fallen sent Nova Prime to carry out the Expansion, which would see the entire universe enslaved to the Fallen's will.When Nova fell at Optimus Prime's hands, the Fallen arrived on Earth and was prepared to finish the deed himself when his brother Atha took control over the solar harvester. In the midst of the confusion, Vector Prime arrived and destroyed Atha while the Fallen vanished.
Nearly four years after the Expansion failed, the Decepticon Soundwave discovered Megatronus' original body before his fall and used a Dark Energon shard to summon the Fallen into this body. He then took a small group of Decepticons (consisting of Megatron's most loyal followers) to scour Earth for more Dark Energon. This task was interrupted by another one of the Fallen's brothers: Necros Prime.
The two ancient Transformers began to duel one other, trading powerful blows. However, the power became too much for either of them, so when they unleashed energetic blasts of lightning at each other, it ended up killing both of them.
UNICRON
Unicron was created at the dawn of time along with his brother Primus. While Primus represented Order, Unicron represented Chaos. The two brothers fought an endless duel between one and other, with neither of them being even close winning. At the last minute, Primus used nearly all of his power to send Unicron tumbling through space. When Unicron regathered his strength, he found that Primus had taken the shape of a planet and had created a species called Transformers. Unicron then decided to seduce one of these beings to join him and lead an invasion on Primus' planet form, Cybertron. The Transformer Megatronus Prime agreed and they led the Cataclysm which nearly destroyed Cybertron. The leader of the Transformers, Prima, sacrificed his life and plunge the Matrix into Unicron's spark and seemingly destroyed him.
Unicron had managed to survive however, rebuilding himself into a transforming planetoid. He spent the next few million years spreading seeds of disorder throughout Cybertron. When the Great War went underway, Unicron made his move and attacked Cybertron once again, taking the form of a planet sized robot. The Autobots valiantly fought for their home world against the Chaos Bringer, though it seemed to be in vain. Just when all hope seemed lost, the Autobot Hot Rod used the same method Prima used to destroy Uniscron; by using the Matrix of Leadership. The Lord of Chaos was destroyed and peace had briefly been found.
However, like Evil itself, Unicron lived on, lurking in the depths of space, rebuilding his body once again. Unicron's servant, Alpha Quintesson, met the Decepticon Shockwave, and the two made a deal, which had the outcome of Unicron taking over Cybertron as a new body. Once everything was set, Unicron forced Primus' spirit out of Cybertron and merged his body with the Transformers' home world. He then emerged through a space bridge into Earth's orbit, ready to devour the planet once and for all. However, although Hot Rod was originally the 'Chosen One' to destroy Unicron, he had betrayed Primus' trust and thus, another Autobot was chosen: Orion Pax. 
Like Prima and Hot Rod before him, Orion headed into Unicron's core and used the last of the Matrix's energies to extinguish Unicron's spark, destroying the Chaos Bringer once and for all.
Although some think Unicron might return in some way, this had been disprove long ago by the elder Alpha Trion, who had claimed that Unicron could only die three times, and the third time is always the charm.

The Transformers--Major Characters--The Leaders

OPTIMUS PRIME
Optronix was a data clerk and a pupil of the sage Alpha Trion. He grew tired of collecting data and decided to join the Autobot Guard. He became best friends with the Elite Guard commander Tronion and the two of them fought crime together. Their friendship came to a sudden end, however, when Tronion came across an ancient relic, which corrupted him with power and granted him the name Megatron. He then went on to begin an uprising in the fallen city Kaon, starting the Decepticon faction.
When the Great War, Optronix abandoned his name, seeing himself as someone different than who he was now, and took on the name Optimus. He became a commander in the Autobot military and became Autobot leader Zeta Prime's top lieutenants. After Zeta was killed in battle by Decepticon forces, the High Council chose Optimus to be the next Prime, giving him the Matrix of Leadership.
Optimus Prime's first act as leader was to create an Ark that would send him and a crew of Autobots to find energy for their home world. As the Ark took off, Megatron's henchmen spotted the ship and the Decepticon leader took off after them. The two factions later ended up on a crash course for the planet Earth. There they laid dormant for four million years, until they were awoken by an volcanic eruption and their war continued.
Many events would happen throughout the war, including the reawakening of Atha Prime, the return of Nova Prime, and the arrival of Unicron. By the time the Chaos Bringer was defeated, Optimus, having seen enough action, passed on the Matrix to Rodimus Prime, while he joined the reformed High Council in the late Alpha Trion place.
As time went on, however, Optimus noticed that Rodimus was unsure of his position as leader and decided to step down from the council so that he could mentor Rodimus. A short time later, the Cybertronian Empire invaded the Milky Way Galaxy, with Cybertron being its primary target. Optimus and Rodimus led the Autobots against the invaders, who nearly managed to conquer their world had it not been for Rodimus, who sacraficed his life to wipe out the Empire. 
For a brief moment, everything seemed to beat peace, until Megatron, who had been thought dead, returned and challenged Optimus to one final duel. Optimus obliged and charged towards his former comrade. Their duel lasted long, until Optimus gathered up his strength and courage and killed Megatron once and for all. 
In battle's aftermath, Optimus decided it was time for him to retire and he passed on leadership to Omega Prime. Optimus then traveled to a highly populated planet with two suns, which he would stay for the next three years.
Optimus quickly came out of retirement when he was informed that his son, Orion Pax (or Optimus Minor), was being hunted by Decepticons. He returned to Earth to face another former friend of his: Nemesis Prime.
Optimus quickly defeated Nemesis and then went out to save Orion from the Fallen. He entered a duel with the ancient being, along with two other Decepticons, and valiantly risked his life to buy his son time to escape. Despite using all his might, Optimus was sneaked up by the Fallen and stabbed through the chest.
His sacrifice was not in vain however, and his son managed to end the war against the Decepticons. After the Matrix was recovered from Omega Prime's deceased body, it was buried with Optimus, for he was the last true Prime in the eyes of the Autobots.
MEGATRON / GALVATRON
Tronion was a commander in the Autobot Elite Guard during Sentinel Prime's age, and was considered by the population of Iacon to be one of its greatest crime fighters. When Optronix joined the Guard, he and Tronion became best friends, along with Optronix's friends Magnus, Dion, and Ariel. Their friendship came to an unfortunate end however, when he was corrupted by an ancient relic containing the Fallen's essence and became Megatron, leader of the evil Decepticons.
Throughout the following war, Megatron was feared by Autobot and Decepticon alike. During a surprise attack on Iacon, Megatron confronted the Autobot leader Zeta Prime and killed him with his bare hands.
Later, when the Autobot ship Ark took off, Megatron took a crew of Decepticons with him on board the Nemesis and pursued Optimus Prime and his Autobots. The two factions ended up on Earth, where, four million years later, their war would continue.
Megatron and Optimus would frequently clash during the Atha Prime and Expansion conflicts. After the defeat of Nova Prime and the Fallen, Megatron was imprisoned in the Stockade. Months later, he was freed by the Heralds of Unicron and was brought before the Chaos Bringer himself. Megatron reluctantly agreed to become Unicron's herald in exchange for a new, powerful form. He was then reformatted into Galvatron!
Galvatron returned to Cybertron, where his Decepticons were divided by civil war. He managed to end the conflict and take control of the Decepticons. He was then ordered by his master to retrieve the energies of Vector Sigma. Once doing so, Galvatron returned to Unicron. 
During the Chaos Bringer's attack on Cybertron, Galvatron confronted the young Autobot Hot Rod. He was shortly defeated just as Hot Rod used the Matrix of Leadership to destroy Unicron.
Some time later, Galvatron returned, being neither Decepticon nor Herald and set out to find Cybertron's core. He then merged himself with the core and essentially became Cybertron itself. He chased after the rebelling Autobots to the planet Gaia, where he transformed his planet form into a giant robot and prepared to destroy Gaia. Before he could do so, the Phantom Violen Jygar intervened and took over Galvatron's body. After Rodimus defeated the Phantom, Galvatron was reverted to his original form, which was now heavily mutilated and was left for dead on an unidentified planet.
He was later found by Necros and Nova Prime and was resurrected into Megatron once again. He took back command over the Decepticons and returned to Cybertron, where he challenged Optimus Prime to a final duel. The two leaders fought for quite some time, until he was at Optimus' mercy. For a brief second, Megatron felt remorse for his actions, but the feeling faded as Optimus brought his Energon Axe down and ended Megatron's life.
In the years that followed, many Decepticons would attempt to achieve victory in his honor, but none of them succeeded in doing so. By the time the Cybertron Alliance was formed, Megatron was regarded with both honor and disdain by the Decepticons.

The Transformers (2010 fan comic) Arc Summaries

The Transformers, written by Transforminator in 2010, is a made-up comic series written and drawn by the Transforminator himself. What you shall read here is a summary of the events in The Transformers.
Please note that the Transformers concept and characters belong to Hasbro. This comic and its summary is made entirely for fun.
MASK OF VENGEANCE
    In the first story arc, it has been years since the war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons began. An ancient being known as Megazarak, who once led the evil Destrons, returns from his thousand year exile to reawaken Atha Prime, one of the original thirteen Transformers. He sends his minions to search for Atha's relic, the Mask of Vengeance, which is said to contain Atha Prime's spirit. The reformed Destrons retrieve the Mask and manage to reawaken Atha, who possesses Megazarak's body. Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrive on Cybertron and the Autobot leader confronts the ancient villain. As the two Primes duel, the Destrons prepare their master's true, giant body. Once it is finished, Atha disposes of Megazarak and takes on his real form. The Autobots find a way to distract Atha and use the Destrons' superweapon to destroy him. With Atha Prime defeated, the Autobots return to Earth.
EXPANSION
    Months after the Destrons' defeat, Nova Prime, former ruler of Cybertron, returns from the Dead Universe to carry out the Fallen's will--to harvest Earth's Sun and use its energies for the Fallen's own uses. The Autobots discover of this and attempt to intervene by defeating Nova's minions as they arrive on Earth.

    Meanwhile, on Cybertron, Megatron ends up in the planet's core and is mysteriously given strange, uncontrollable powers. Back on Earth, the Autobots confront Nova Prime and his followers. While Nova is killed by Optimus, the Fallen appears and is about to destroy the Autobots when Atha Prime's spirit returns and takes over Nova's solar harvester. At that moment, the Fallen's brother, Vector Prime, arrives and destroys the harvester, killing Atha in the process.

    After the Fallen retreats, the Autobots capture Megatron and his Decpeticons and imprison him in the Stockade.
COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION
    Sometime after the conflict with Nova Prime, the ancient God of Chaos, Unicron, arrives and sends his Heralds to free Megatron and the Decepticons. The Chaos-Bringer then grants Megatron a new body, giving him the name 'Galvatron'. 

    Meanwhile, the Decepticons have been divided into four separate factions, led by Shockwave, Ratbat, Starscream, and Scorponok respectively. Galvatron arrives and takes over the former two factions while sending them to hunt down the latter two. 

    When Unicron arrives to devour Cybertron, Optimus leads the Autobots to stop him. During the battle, the young Autobot Hot Rod duels Galvatron within Unicron's spark chamber. After defeating the Chaos Bringer's herald, Hot Rod uses the Matrix of Leadership to destroy Unicron. 

    In the aftermath, Optimus passes on leadership to Hot Rod, now known as Rodimus Prime, while the Decepticons, under the leadership of the mysterious Nemesis Prime, exile themselves to Chaar.
WRATH OF THE PHANTOM
    Set a year after the previous story arc, the mysterious Phantom comes out of hiding to take his revenge on the Autobots, descendants of the ones who first defeated him--the Thirteen. Meanwhile, on Charr, Nemesis Prime summons Deathsaurus and the two of them take co-leadership of the Decepticons and head for Cybertron.

    As they attack the Autobots, the Decepticons serve as an unwitting distraction for Galvatron, who sneaks into Cybertron's core chamber and merges with its 'heart', essentially becoming the planet itself. Rodimus Prime and Optimus Trion lead the Autobots away from Cybertron and end up on the haven world Gaia. Galvatron follows them there and is about to destroy Gaia when the Phantom, Violen Jygar, arrives and takes over Cybertron for his own use.

    The Matrix of Leadership realizes all of this and grants Rodimus a temporary, giant body. Rodimus battles with Jygar and manages to destroy the Phantom's spirit. Cybetron returns to its natural state and the Decepticons are imprisoned in the Stockade once again.
COMING OF THE SWARM
    After the events involving the Phantom, Jhiaxus, a former follower of Nova Prime, sends his new Cybertronian Empire to invade the galaxy, conquering numerous worlds. Meanwhile, an ancient being known as Necros Prime resurrects Nova Prime to use as his Igor-like servant and, later on, brings back Megatron.

    The Cybertronian Empire then invades Cybertron, unleashing the monstrous Swarm. Rodimus, tired of the war, risks his life and charges towards the Swarm, destroying it from within. He then ends up on board Jhiaxus' flagship, the Twilight, and uses the Matrix to destroy the ship, Jhiaxus, the latter's master, the Liege Maximo, and himself. Necros and Nova, who were also on the ship, manage to teleport away.

    In the aftermath, Megatron, along with all of the freed Decepticons form the Stockade, challenges Optimus to one last duel. Optimus accepts his offer and the two faction leaders battle a final time, ending with Megatron's ultimate death. The Decepticons are then taken away to Axiom Nexus, a dimensional city that would be nearly impossible for them to escape from.

    Optimus then passes leadership to Omega Prime while he goes into retirement.
SHATTERED GLASS
    In this six-part miniseries, a team of seven Autobots to investigate a mysterious alternate reality where everything is the opposite (ex. Autobots are evil, Decepticons are good). During the team's journey, Shockwave returns from hiding and frees the Decepticons from their prison in Axiom Nexus. However, Starscream (who had recently defected from the Decepticons) severs all exits from Axiom Nexus, trapping Shockwave and the Decepticons there. 

    Meanwhile, the Autobot team helps the alternate, heroic Decepticons defeat the evil Autobots. With their mission fulfilled, they return to their original universe, where Omega Prime inducts them into the Elite Guard.
QUEST: VELOCITRON
    Set three years after the death of Megatron, Omega Prime sends Optimus Prime's son, Optimus Minor, and his crew of Autobots to find the Cyber Planet Keys, artifacts of great power, before the remnant Decepticons can. Optimus takes his team to Velocitron, the planet of Speed, not knowing that they are being followed by the Decepticon general Megastorm and his followers.

    During Team Orion's quest, the alien conqueror Xim invades Cybertron with a group of mind-enslaved Autobots under his command. The Autobots send the combiner 'bot Superion to attack Xim's flagship and capture the conqueror, freeing the enslaved Autobots from his control.

    Meanwhile, in Axiom Nexus, Necros Prime and Nova arrive and set up a space bridge that would allow Shockwave and his Decepticons to escape. During this, he sends the mysterious Noisemaze to find the Cyber Keys.

    On Velocitron, after going through several races, Optimus' team finally manage to retrive the Speed Cyber Key. However, at the last minute, Noisemaze arrives and snatches it from them, leaving the Autobots at a loss...
QUEST: EARTH
Part I: Nemesis
    After their loss on Velocitron, Team Orion arrives on Earth, where they find a small group of Decepticons comprising of Nemesis Prime, Soundwave, Cyclonus, and Scourge. Nemesis activates a signal on Megatron's former flagship, the Nemesis, and has it attack the Autobots on Earth. Later, Starscream arrives and confronts Nemesis Prime, who easily defeats the ex-Decepticon. At that moment, Optimus Prime suddenly appears and faces the one he had once called brother. Team Orion manages to destroy the Nemesis's robot from, forcing Nemesis Prime to retreat, while Soundwave and the others summon the Fallen in a new body.

    Meanwhile on Cybertron, Deathsaurus leads the freed Decepticons from Axiom Nexus in a final assault on Cybertron. The Autobots stationed there barely manage to hold them off while a team of scouts infiltrates Deathsaurus' flagship and set up explosives. The bombs set off and many of the Decepticons are destroyed, including Deathsaurus, while the survivors go into hiding.

    In Axiom Nexus, Shockwave confronts Necros Prime, who single-handedly destroys his body and sends his spark into another reality.
QUEST: EARTH
Part II: Fallen Hero
    The Fallen, Soundwave, Cyclonus, and Scourge prepare their ultimate plans, sending minions to retrieve the things they would need. They then track down Optimus Minor and attack him, seeing him as a threat to their plans. Optimus Prime intervenes and confronts The Fallen and his followers on his own. Although he fights valiantly, Optimus meets his demise as the Fallen fires his fusion cannon through his chest, exterminating his spark. 

    After the confrontation, Necros and Nova Prime arrive, much to the Fallen's disappointment. Nova comes across a Dark Energon shard and uses it to resurrect Thunderwing-who had been killed by Shockwave-and to bring himself out of his zombie-like state. Nova then sends Thunderwing to find the Matrix of Leadership.

    Meanwhile, Megastorm and his team comes across the Dark Energon and attempts to steal it until the Fallen stops him. Their duel is interfered by the Autobot Guardians Evac and Crosswise, until the Fallen forces them to retreat. Evac and Crosswise then find Optimus Minor and his team and decide to aid them in finding the Earth Cyber Key and in fending off the Fallen's forces.

    On Cybertron, the Decepticon warlord Straxus gathers the survivors of Deathsaurus' attack on Cybertron and launches another attack. Like the previous one, it is shortly ended and Straxus' forces are forced to retreat.

    Back on Earth, Optimus Minor's team fights against Megastorm's Decepticons and the Fallen's followers. A battle commences, which comes to an abrupt end when the Velocitron and Earth Cyber Keys are sucked up by a wormhole. Team Orion takes a ship lended to them and head into the wormhole, while the Decepticons stay on Earth, per Nemesis Prime's order.

    In a concurrent plot, Necros' agent Noisemaze convinces Starscream to aid him in finding the Cyber Keys. The awaken zombie Terrocons and take them into the wormhole after the Autobots.
QUEST: AXIOM/ANIMATRON
    Team Orion, Starscream, and Nosemaze arrive in an alternate reality via the wormhole. The Autobots' ship crashes onto the reality's Earth, which is covered in garbage. There they meet a small, worker bot known as WALL-E. 

    Meanwhile, Shockwave, stuck in a diminutive body that is connected to the ship Axiom, sends probe bots throughout the galaxy to find a plant that would contain the Energon he needed to fulfill his plans. One of the probes, EVE, ends up on Earth. Shockwave contacts her and orders her to 'befriend' WALL-E and the Autobots so that he could lead them into his trap. This scheme succeeds and Optimus' team and the two robots end up on the Axiom.

    As they go through many obstacles, including Noisemaze, Starscream, and the Terrorcons, the Autobots end up on the ship's main deck, where Shockwave upgrades himself into a new, larger body. Optimus Minor faces the diabolical Decepticon while the other Autobots rush to help WALL-E and EVE place the plant into the Axiom's main generator. Once the team succeeds with their task as Optimus defeats Shockwave, they head back through the wormhole and take Shockwave to Cybertron, where he is imprisoned.

    Optimus' team then arrives on the Beast planet of Animatron, where they meet a group of Autobots that had been stuck there for thousands of years. During their battle, Nemesis Prime arrives and is transformed by the Beast Cyber Key. 

    On Earth, Necros Prime comes across the Fallen again and they begin to fight once again. But as soon as it begins, a servant of Unicron, Alpha Quintesson, commences his master's ultimate plan: the Abduction.
RETURN OF THE CHAOS BRINGER
    Alpha Quintesson commences the Abduction, which sends a vast wave of energy that decimates Cybertron and begins to abduct numerous Transformers. Optimus Minor awakes in what is left of the city of Iacon to find his team in a coma. He meets up with a group of Autobots who managed to have survived the Abduction and they begin thinking of a way to stop Unicron once and for all.

    On Earth, the Fallen and Necros Prime continue their fight. The Fallen calls for Soundwave and the others to help him, but they abandon him to join Megastorm. The Fallen and Necros begin shooting their powers at each other, resulting in a large explosion that wipes them out both. Megastorm, his team, and the Fallen's former followers then head for Chaar, where the remnants of Deathsaurus and Straxus' forces are in hiding.

    Back on Cybertron, the Autobot scientist Wheeljack gives the others upgrades that would help them in their mission to stop Unicron. At that moment, the Chaos Lord's heralds arrive and attack the Autobots. Just as all hope for them seems lost, a being thought dead returns...Rodimus Prime! The former Autobot leader saves the Autobots and forces the Heralds of Unicron to retreat. 

    Meanwhile, on Chaar, Megastorm gathers all of the remaining Decepticons. Soundwave then develops upgrades to use in order to take back Cybertron from the Autobots. On Cybertron, after Rodimus tells the others how he had survived, he then takes Bumblebee and others to find more surviving Autobots. 

    Elsewhere, the Autobot Elite Guard finds the ancient combiner Monstructor, who is awaken by them just as Nova Prime and Thunderwing appear. Thunderwing chases the Elite Guard throughout Iacon until they reach Rodimus's group. Optimus' team then awakens and they help the others destroy Thunderwing. 

    In the Decepticon capital Kaon, Shockwave approaches Megastorm with a plan that, according to him, would ensure the Decepticons' victory. Megastorm accepts Shockwave's offer. The Decepticons then begin setting up space bridges that would take them to Earth. The Autobots discover this and follow them through the space bridge.

    Within Unicron, Noisemaze, now known by his true name Sideways, is betrayed by Starscream, who kills the Herald of Unicron and escapes through a portal.

    On Earth, the Autobots set up base and head out to spy on the Decepticons and find out what they are up to. Bumblebee finds out that they are setting up space bridges through out Earth and have set out to retrive the last few from Rodimus. After a highway chase between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Rodimus returns to base unharmed. However, he reveals a devastating secret to the Autobots: that he had made a deal with Shockwave and was in league with the Decepticons! After killing one of his fellow Autobots, he takes the remaining space bridges and heads out to meet with Megastorm and Shockwave.
ARMAGEDDON
    Rodimus Prime returns to the Decepticons and begins setting up the last space bridges. After activating them, their grand plan is revealed: the space bridges would teleport Cybertron to Earth and the Decepticons would be able to transfer Earth's resources to re-energize their home world.

    At the Autobots' base, it is decided that Optimus Minor would lead them against the Decepticons. Optimus reluctantly agrees and sets out to find a way to stop Unicron once and for all. He is led to the planet Gorlam Prime by the Thirteen. On Gorlam, Optimus finds the Guardians of Cybertron, who at first refuse to help the Autobots, but instead they grant Optimus a new form and reveal to him his true name; Orion Pax. He then returns to Earth and the Autobots head out to face the Decepticons.

    The final battle begins and Orion goes through the lines of fire to reach Megastorm, Shockwave, and Rodimus. During the battle, Shockwave summons the Nemesis, which had in fact survived its 'demise' and transforms into the monstrous Trypticon. At that moment, the Cybertron Guardian Omega Maximus arrives and faces against Trypticon, destroying him with his vast hammer.

    Just as Orion finally comes up to Shockwave and the others, Cybertron arrives through the space bridge and appears in Earth's orbit. The only problem is...it had been possessed by Unicron!

    Orion chases Shockwave into Unicron's spark chamber, not knowing that Megastorm was close behind. As he and Shockwave duel, Orion comes across Omega Prime's corpse, along with the Matrix of Leadership. Shockwave gets to it before him just as Megastorm sneaks up and shoots him in the back, having been convinced by Starscream that the war just wasn't worth the trouble. Orion and Megastorm team up against Shockwave, who is finally killed after being shot through the chest. Orion then plunges the Matrix into Unicron's spark, destroying the Chaos Bringer and Cybertron.

    The two faction leaders return to Earth, where Rodimus confronts Orion on destroying their home world. Orion tells him that he'd rather have no home world rather than one ruled by someone like Rodimus. With that, Orion raises his blaster and shoots Rodimus through the chest as well, killing the fallen Autobot.
AFTERMATH
    In the end, Orion and Megastorm sign a truce between the Autobots and the Decepticons, forming the Cybertron Alliance. They arrive on Gorlam Prime, which they rename 'New' Cybertron.

    On Animatron, a brief war with Nemesis Prime's Predacons is held, but it is shortly ended and Nemesis goes into exile. 

    Some of the Decepticons, including Starscream, also go into exile as well, not wanting to be part of the alliance (It is highly unlikely that they will start another war, though).

    As for Nova Prime, he and Monstructor had left the known galaxy to find another one which he could conquer for his own.

    At long last, the Transformers have entered a new age of peace, one that shall go on for years to come...
