Plot
On the surface of Cybertron, Omega Supreme and Monstructor have a brutal battle, while nearby Blaster and Soundwave have a battle to settle a small score between them, Ultra Magnus races along the surface, having survived the battle with Galvatron, and in the skies the Autobots are assaulting the Warworld.
Inside the Warworld, Bludgeon excuses the other Decepticons to join the battle down below and leaves him alone on the ship. As the others leave, Jetfire causes a distraction, and the Wreckers land on top, and brreak into the ship and go hunting for Bludgeon, unaware that he' hunting them in turn.

Deep inside Cybertron in the Primus Chamber, the Dinobots help Grimlock to recover from his possession, unaware that he was possessed of course, as they were frozen at the time, when suddenly the Demons attack. Grimlock transforms and goes to attack them, however the Demons start bowing towards him. They wonder what's going on, but start to leave, with the Demons following as well, and hey wonder where Hot Rod vanished to.
On the Ark in orbit, Starscream plans to leave orbit, but Shockwave stops him, by taking control of his body as well as the ship.

Inside the Warworld, the Wreckers are looking around, but are soon attacked by Bludgeon, he manages o take out most of them, but Kup gets away and heads towards the source of the Matrix energy to stop it from powering the machines on the planet, however Bludgeon latches himself onto the train car he's travelling on, and starts to attack him too.
On the planet's surface the Autobots are being pushed into a corner and seem too be losing the battle. The Dinobots and Demons arrive on the surface again and join he battle against the Decepticons.
Back on the Warworld, Bludgeon is just about to kill Kup, when suddenly Rodimus Prime arrives through a time portal created by Primus.
On the surface again, Soundwave manages to push Blaster into a corner by essentially disabling his senses, and becomes over-confident, alllowing Blaster to overload Soundwave's own senses with a sudden burst of sound, knocking him out.

On the Warworld Rodimus easily defeats Bludgeon, and grants him his final request of killing him, by throwing him through the front screen and plummets him to the surface, seemingly killing him.
Kup and Rodimus examine the remains of Thunderwing and determine that he's the source of the Matrix energies, but before they can do anything Shocckwave on the Ark shoots at the Warworld and causes massive damage. Rodimus calls for an evacuation of the ship, and steers it to above the atmosphere, so when it explodes it won't cause much damage.
On the planet, the Decepticons are now being defeated, Monstructor has been killed, and the Wreckers and Rodimus escape the Warworld on the Wrecker's shuttle just before it explodes.

The Autobots cheer on at their victory, but Rodimus worries about the other unfinished pieces of business that Primus showed him on his journey through time. Meanwhile, in the Primus Chamber, Primus' eyes start to light up.

Notes
  • The battles between Omega Supreme and Monstructor, as well as Blaster and Soundwave seem to be leftovers from Simon Furman's shortened run on the mainline IDW series.
  • We can see some of Thunderwing's inner robot here, implying that perhaps he's being repaired by the Warworld in some way.
  • Grimlock appears to have some residual Primus powers following his possession by him, as the Demons seem to idolize him here. Also their reaction to him here is similar to the Sharkticons from the animated Transformers Movie.
  • It appears here as though Shockwave has some control over Starscream's body.
  • Rodimus' appearance from nowhere on the Warworld was previously spoiled in issue #0.
