Episode #1: Doomsday
It has been 400 years since the end of the Beast Machines wars, and the great sacrifice of Optimus Primal who threw himself and Megatron into oblivion to restore the balance of techno-organic back to Cybertron, two lives for millions of innocent sparks.
The news spread far and wide across the galaxy, reaching old audio receivers that should never have found out. On this day that the new Autobot leader, Omega Convoy, summons a meeting reguarding the opening of a new nucleon generator to help Cybertron's energy crisis now the techno-organic side of Cybertron has died out. However more pressing matters have arisen.
As well as the return of the Decepticons who had fled Cybertron after the first great war to start new Decepticon colonies across the galaxy under commander Jhiaxus' orders, a powerful energy wave like no one has ever known, has appeared in Hydrax Plateau. Ripping through the ground it has formed a shield, an energy over the region of Hydrax Plateau rendering Autobot and Decepticon alike into stasis. And the dome is expanding.. Deciding they need to study the energy dome more in order to prevent it spreading, the Autobots concentrate on getting ready to open the new Nulceon generator, hidden inside a secret temple.
The Autobots are not the only ones investigating the energy field however as Lord Tyrannodon, leader of the Decepticons had sent his best fliers Blitz and Vorja to study the energy dome, as well as scientist DarkStorm. And, thanks to a double agent, the Decepticons also know about the new generator and it's location - thanks to Mindfreak's interrogation. With the rest of the Decepticons - Clutch, Terrorhide/Jackal, and Bloodsaw they set of to set an almighty ambush..
On their way, the Decepticons split into two Teams, an investigation team for the energy dome consisting of Lord Tyrannodon, Clutch and Darkstorm, and the others headed to the Autobot temple, led by sub-commander Harbringer to set up the trap for the Autobots. After crossing a broken bridge, the Decepticons bypass the security and defenses thanks to inside information and take refuge in the Autobot temple allowing Jackal to begin his work for sabotaging the generator. On the way to the temple, Autobot Speedway picks up air signals but can't get a fix. Despite Air Raid's scoffing, the bot was right as they were ambushed by hoards of bike and chipper drones. Autobots Powerblock and Speedway fared well but Retroblazer's over cockines cost him multiple hits across the torso and limbs sending him into stasis lock.
Thanks to an EMP pulse by Powerblock and a distraction by Quickshot, the Autobots managed to hide out in an old weapons factory. From there Magnus and Convoy contacted an Autobot, Central, for a quick way out. As the Autobots prepare to leave via blastng through a rear wall, Central is sent to the energy field to do a little recon and get an update on the scale of the dome and it's spread across Cybertron. The Decepticons meanwhile have completed their sabotage and lie in wait, hiding, ready to ambush the Autobots.
As the Autobots arrive at the temple, they gather together as Convoy makes a grand speech at the top of the stairs where the Generator is located, but when the generator is switched on Omega gets vapurized into nothingness and massive outages rage across Cybertron. The Decepticons come out in force immediately wasting no time and launch an attack, as both sights fight within the temple.
Meanwhile Lord Tyrannodon, Clutch and Darkstorm have worked out the core from the energy dome, must be coming deep from within the heart of Cybertron. Determined to destroy their home-planet from the inside once and for all, they head underground to locate and try and destroy.. Vector Sigma. Later the Autobot Central arrives and picks up their energy signals and follows their path as the three Decepticons make their way deep underground.
Lord Tyrannodon contacts Harbringer and orders them to retreat and merge on his location, After they escape, tye Autobots tuck tail between their lakes and return home - taking in the full weight of their defeat and the loss of Omega Convoy. Continuing outages and tremors are felt across Cybertron making the Transformers wonder if this is indeed the sign of very bad things to come? Afte repairing the wounded and a study of the defunked generator - carried out by Quickshot and Iceblaster; The Autobots - now temporarily led, reluctantly, by Grand Magnus, realise they've been tricked and diverted, that the attack at the nucleon generator opening was one big distraction but why?
Central stumbles on the three Decepticons and is terminated deep within the underground tunnels. With the genius of Clutch and Darkstorm the Decepticon trio find a way to communicate directly into Autobot HQ, right in the middle of Magnus' meeting! Just as they had been trying to locate central, Tyrannodon had interrupted and showed the mangled corpse of Central, and gloats at their victory. Correlating video feed information, they find the energy dome is indeed spreading across Cybertron with continuing tremors, and threatens their base in Altihex.
Suddenly after another tremor an energy wave heads straight to Autobot HQ, on a direct course to the meeting room. The energy wave ignores Autobots around the base and primarily seeming harmless, but it is far from it as it downloads vast fields of information from their computers and takes Autobot Air Raid away in a flash of light. With no choice, Magnus orders an evacuation of the base with those wishing to stop the Decepticons to join them, the rest setting a new base of operations in Polyhex, away from the energy field. IceBlaster declines the invite to help set the new base up as senior engineer.
With Harbringer and his troops joining Lord Tyrannodon, they make their way through the booby-trap laiden tunnels towards Vector Sigma. Using the triangulation of Central's corpse the Autobots follow in pursuit, desperately trying to catch up with the Decepticons, having realised they're going to Vector Sigma, and stop whatever they're up to. Trap after trap befalls the Decepticons, with the Autobots in hot pursuit, but Grand Magnus knows a shorter way to Vector Sigma. As the Decepticons triumphantly arrive in the great chamber with Vector Sigma in front of them, the Autobots emerge on the opposite side!
Both sides immediately fight, some Autobots wanting payback for Omega Convoy, but the battle is short-lived when a great voice booms within the chamber telling them to stop and put down their weapons. Some resist and are disarmed with the voice telling them to end their war once and for all and live in peace and harmony - or suffer the consequences. Tyrannodon gives the order to destroy the Autobots and as they fight on a powerful energy ensnares them all, paralysing them in their tracks.
The voice true to it's word takes them out of their time and space, enabling it to move the paralysed Transformers up through the underground levels of Cybertron and high into it's orbit revealing itself as their creator, Primus. Unable to move the two factions watch in horror as Primus takes his revenge and multiple energy domes break out all across Cybertron, sealing it's fate - one and for all?
