VOLUME TWO
- '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.
- '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...
- '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.
- '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.
- '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.
- '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...
- '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...
- '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.
- '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.
- '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...
- '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
- '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.
- '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.
- '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...
- '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.
- '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...
- '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.
- '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.
