Plot summary[edit | edit source]
Optimus Prime's escapades inspire a new generation of Autobots, recruited from across the lost colonies and fanatic in their devotion to the Prime. With the new recruits, the Autobots continue protecting the Earth while preparing to introduce the planet to the Council of Worlds. The uneasy peace is shattered when a new robotic species, the Junkions, arrive on planet hoping to rebuild their world using Ore-13. A series of misunderstandings leads to a battle between the Cybertronians and Junkions, as Soundwave convinces the Sharkticons, the Junkions servant class, to turn against their masters, but Optimus finds a peaceful solution to the issue and convinces the opposing sides to lay down their arms.
The inhabitants of Junkion relocate to the former Earth Defense Command Headquarters on the Bikini Atoll to begin building Little Cybertron. However, one of colonists, Slide, who lost her brother, cannot forgive the Junkions and is approached by Pyra Magna, who has tired of Prime's leadership, even when the Prime and Torchbearer leader end their hositilies for the time being.
