The very few who could stand up to them were known as the Autobot Resistance, lead by Optimus Prime and Lord High Protector Megatron. Eventually, their long war consumed the planet, leaving it a dark, dying planet. With what little manpower the Autobots have left, they have pooled all of their resources into their underground base in the destroyed ruins of Iacon. But, with their resources running critical, the Autobots have prepared to leave their world behind and find another planet for refuge as well as reinforcements…

But when the elevator reached the bottom floor…they were met with a horrible sight. The Ark…was destroyed.

The ship flew at supersonic speeds past Cybertron…and straight to Grimlock’s signal.
