Plot

On Cybertron, in the past, the planet is at war over the Allspark, Megatron believes he's found it, and sends Blackout to join Starscream's troops. Brawl and Starscream's other troops are taking care of some Autobots elsewhere, and Brawl reports that Megatron thinks he knows where the Allspark is, Starscream gets worried, as he wants it's power of himself, but is stopped from continuing by a newly arrived Blackout.

Before they know it, they see the Allspark being launched into space, Starscream attempts to follow it, but Blackout stops him, the team of Decepticons witness Megatron launching off into space after the cube, and they decide to follow him.

Much later, the Decepticon team arrive in Afghanistan and crash in the desert, they're attacked by some military personnel, but Wreckage destroys their personnel carrier, and takes on it's form as his alternate mode.

Before long, the Decepticons attack the nearby Bargam Airbase, looking for local alternate modes of their own, they slaughter the humans there and take on their new forms, but Wreckage is rendered disabled and abandoned in the battle.

Later, Bumblebee arrives on Earth, and starts searching for information on where the Allspark is, he learns of Captain Witwicky's incident in 1897 and decides to track down his descendants as a clue to it's location. When he looks up the captain externally, Sector Seven detect his presence and send out teams to find and capture him.

Bumblebee continues his mission, and evades the Sector Seven agents along the way, as well as also evading Barricade a couple of times, as he continues his search for Captain Witwicky's ancestors, who may know where the Allspark is kept (via the map on his glasses)

Notes

• This comic was originally 2 smaller comics sold at Target
• This story is meant to also be able to fit in with the existing IDW Movie Prequel comics (though some parts are contradictory)
• Scorponok is shown in his toy's robot mode a couple of times here
• The truck Bumblebee passes seems to be advertising All Hail Megatron
• Megatron's tip on where the Allspark is, is likely when he arrives at the trap at Tyger Pax
