FORESHADOWING
(At the Autobot City on Earth, Hot Rod is pacing back and forth, whining like any "Chosen One")
Hot Rod: Why can't I be a great warrior like Optimus or Ultra Magnus?
Ironhide: It takes experience, kid!
Hot Rod: *emo sigh*
(At the Command Center-)
Ultra Magnus (via vidscreen): Prime, this is Magnus. We've captured a group of escaped Decepticons.
Optimus Prime: Well done, Magnus. Optimus, out
Hot Rod (entering the room): Prime?
Optimus Prime: Yes, Hot Rod, what is it?
Hot Rod: Prime, I'm quitting training. [Oh, Primus, he really is emo.]
Optimus Prime: Why?
Hot Rod: Because... I've been training for two months now and still haven't progressed! I'm sorry, Optimus, but-
Optimus Prime: Hot Rod, I understand. I thought the same when Sentinel Prime and others taught me. All you need is patience and faith in yourself.
(Prowl enters the room)
Optimus Prime: Yes, Prowl?
Prowl: Perceptor needs to show you this.
(At the... science room or something)
Optimus Prime: What is it, Perceptor?
Perceptor: There's a distress signal in Sector 8-10. [A section of the city]
Optimus Prime: Jetfire, take a recon team to investigate.
Jetfire: Right.
(Later on, Jetfire leads the recon team (which consists of Warpath, Cosmos, Powerglide, and Beachcomber) to Sector 8-10.)
Powerglide: I don't see anything, Jetfire.
Jetfire: Me neither, Powerglide. Something's not right, though....
Warpath: (Bam!) Hey, no one's here! (Pow!) [The SFX in parentheses is Warpath's verbal tic]
Cosmos: Not good, aye?
Jetfire: Cosmos, can you peek inside?
Cosmos: Sure thing, mate! (He hovers up to a damaged building and peeks inside) Hello? Anyone there? Anyone... at all?
(Then he gets shot at!) Cosmos: Whoa!
Jetfire: Cosmos!
Warpath (transforming to tank mode): Come on out, buddy! (Pow!)
(A figure jumps out of the building and lands in front of the Autobots)
Warpath: What the Pit?! Who the slag are you?!
???: I go by the name "Nemesis Prime", if you will.
Warpath: Well (blam!), you're dead to me! (Pow!)
(He shoots at Nemesis Prime, though the blast merely bounces off of the Decepticon and hits Warpath)
Warpath: Whoa!
Jetfire: Fire!
Beachcomber (aside): I don't wanna...
(They all shoot at Nemesis, only to have the same result)
Nemesis Prime: I don't have time for this. (Then- poof! He vanishes! Groovy.)
(On Cybertron, at Kaon-)
Cyclonus (to Galvatron): My lord, there's someone who wishes to see you.
Nemesis Prime: Hello, Galvatron. We must talk.
(Meanwhile, deep in space, the Colossus arrives to where Soundblaster got his butt kicked by Nova Prime)
???: We've landed, sir.
Clench: Excellent- Soundblaster?!
Soundblaster: Er... Clench? H-how did you...
Clench: Skyquake found the coordinates after that Expansion thing.
Soundblaster: Eh-expansion. Right.
Clench: So, what happened?
Soundblaster: I... don't know. But, I had a dream-
Clench: Er, Soundblaster... we're robots. We don't have dreams.
Soundblaster: *sigh* I guess I should explain. You see, Clench... I'm not like you. Well, I am, but in different ways. I am an ancient being. I am one of the first.
Clench: What? You... you mean?
Soundblaster: Yes, Clench. I am Logos Prime, one of the first Thirteen Transformers. And I need your help. [Note: I made this issue before most of the official Thirteen were revealed, meaning that, odds are, this guy isn't one of them]
(On Earth, Scorponok and his Terrorcons have arrived, likely having been exiled by Galvatron)
Scorponok: Terrorcons, we're here.
Hun-Gurrr: Scorponok, I see Autobots!
Scorponok: Excellent. Attack!
(At Autobot City-)
Gravinax: Optimus Prime, this is Command Gravinax. Decepticon signatures-
(He gets stabbed and killed by a sword)
Mindwipe: Got him.
Scorponok: Good, let's move!
(The Autobots head out to face them)
Ironhide: Go! Go!
(A battle breaks out, which we'll find out its outcome next issue. In the meantime, Soundblaster/Logos Prime has joined Clench's crew and is having a monologue. Great.)
Soundblaster/Logos Prime (monologue): Visions. I've had many, yet it's almost the same one each time. I see Primus, then... I see another face... one of an Autobot. Then I see sparks going to... him. The Chaos Bringer. Then, it stops. And yet I know what it means. He is coming.
