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...
