Note: This next "arc" takes place a year after the previous one.
A NEW BEGINNING
(Somewhere in space, an Earthling astronaut is exploring... space.)
Astronaut: This is George Sockwood to NASA. I've spotted a strange red gas in Belt Tova. I'm heading out to investigate- (He freezes)
NASA: Sockwood? George, come in!
Sockwood: Great Scott... it's a giant claw! NASA, send an emergency rescue shuttle and some fire arms! Please- NO! (The giant claw destroys his shuttle, killing him)
The Phantom: Hmm... it's time I made my move. But first, I'll send some of my... pawns. (A bunch of creepy, demon-looking things appear)
(Meanwhile, at Autobot City....)
Longarm (via videoscreen): This is Longarm of Cybertron Intelligence! We've received a transmission- (static)- the Axiom (more static)
Rodimus Prime: Longarm, we're losing you!
Longarm (static cleared): We've received a transmission from Commander Hot Shot!
Hot Shot (message): This is Hot Shot to any Autobot who can hear this! The Axiom has been hijacked by- (static)- we need- (static)- now! Please, help-! (static and end)
Rodimus Prime: Pyro, this is Rodimus Prime. Take your crew and find the Axiom! It was last detected in Sector 1012-Z. Hurry!
Pyro: Copy that! (He and his team- which includes Jolt, Leadfoot, and other G2-ish Autobots- and board their ship and take off)
(Meanwhile, on the Axiom, the Decepticon mercenary Lockdown is trying to break into a escape pod room which Hot Shot and his crew are in)
Lockdown: Come on out, Autobot! I didn't get hired for nothin'!
Hot Shot: Hurry, Overhaul! (Lockdown breaks in) Never mind....
Lockdown: Gotcha'.
(Later, he and other Decepticons bring them to Shockwave, who has taken control of the Axiom... and for whatever reason looks like AUTO from WALL-E)
Lockdown: Alright, One Eye. We've got the last of them.
Shockwave: No, Lockdown. There's still more.
Lockdown: 'Kay, whatever. But since I got the commander, do I get paid double?
Shockwave: No. The deal has been sealed. It cannot be changed.
Lockdown: Pft. Whatever.
Oil Slick: C'mon, Lockdown. Let's get the rest.
Shockwave: Computer, put the captives in stasis lock.
(The computer acknowledges and puts Hot Shot and the others into sleep mode or something. Later, Pyro's ship approaches the Axiom.)
Pyro: This is Pyro to Axiom. Do you copy?
Decepticon-on-the-other-end: This is Axiom. False alarm. We don't need help.
Pyro: Oh, really?
Decepticon: Yeah, everything's fine now. 'Cons have been take care of.
Pyro: Well, we're boarding anyway.
Jolt: Don't buy it?
Pyro: Not by a long shot.
Decepticon: I repeat, we do not need assistance! (To Lockdown) They didn't buy it....
Lockdown: Hn. Guess some bots aren't right for the job. Oil Slick, secure the blast doors.
Oil Slick: Right.
Shockwave: What's going on?
Lockdown: Buncha' dumb Autobots on the ship.
Shockwave: Lead them to the bridge.
Lockdown: What?! Are you crazy?!
Shockwave: No. I'm being logical. And the logical thing right now is to lead them here.
(Meanwhile, on Charr, Galvatron's Decepticons- now commanded by Nemesis Prime- are brooding and stuff)
Thrust: What are we gonna do?!
Dead End: Nothing. We'll die anyway.
Thrust (to Nemesis Prime): Hey, buddy! Why don't ya' have Astrotrain take us to a better planet?! Well?!!
(Suddenly, Deathsaurus and Overlord appear. How nice)
Deathsaurus: Need a lift? Liokaiser, take them away.
(Back on the Axiom....)
Pyro: This is Pyro to bridge, do you copy? (Receives nothing but static)
Jolt: Uh-oh.
Leadfoot: What are ya' afraid of, Jolt? You've dealt with 'cons before!
Jolt: Yeah, but not those type of 'cons!
(Said 'Cons are a bunch of big, bruiser types)
Decepticon #2: Now... come with us quietly.
(Back at Autobot City...)
Rodimus Prime: Blaster, have you gotten back in touch with Longarm yet?
Blaster: Nope, still not responding!
Rodimus Prime: Hmm. Something's happening... and it's not looking good.
(On Cybertron, we see that Longarm has been beaten up by Bludgeon and his team, the Mayhem Attack Squad)
Longarm: Ooogh.
Bludgeon: Don't move. (To his squad) Move out. We must find the... others.
(Standing before them are Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge)
Bludgeon: By the Matrix....
(Back on the Axiom....)
Lockdown: Shockwave, we've got them. (Pyro and his captured team are brought onto the bridge)
Pyro: Shockwave! I knew you'd be behind this somehow!
Shockwave: How observant of you, Autobot. Yes, I have been behind this for quite some time. I have ditched my chassis and I am now creating a new one. But before I go into detail, let me present some experiments.
(Two big, mean looking 'cons appear)
Shockwave: When I created the Triple Changers and Sixshot, these "Duocons", as I like to call them, were prototypes. Due to necessity, I have decided to finish them. Behold... Battletrap and Flywheels!
