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.
- '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...
- '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...
- '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.
- '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.
- '(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.
- '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...
- '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!
- '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.
- '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.
- '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.
- '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...
