Comic Plot
Unicron has inhabited Cybertron's empty shell and is now slowly reforming it, with the Transformers still on it. On Earth, the Autobots have picked up on these events and decide to head there to help Ironhide and the others out, leaving Mikaela in charge of the base whilst they're gone.
On Cybertron Stockade tries to reason with Unicron, but the Chaos Bringer doesn't care, Unicron detects the Autobot's ship (The Straxus) and destroys it on sight, and then sets his sights on Earth to replenish his depleted Energon supplies.
On Earth, the mind controlled Mikaela willingly allows Starscream to enter the Autobot base, and allows the Decepticons to re-invade parts of America.

Comic Notes
- The Array dish was finally destroyed!
- The Autobot's ship, The Straxus is named after the G1 Decepticon
- Evac and his team are staying on Earth for this mission...why do they not stop the Decepticons in their invasion?!?!
- Starscream and his Decepticons have been missing for the last few issues because they've been biding their time for a moment where the Autobots are gone/weak..like now
- Unicron remolded Cybertron to resemble his G1 appearance
- Unicron plans to eat Earth, like he planned to in GI Joe vs the Transformers: Black Horizon, this time because it's overflowing with yummy Energon.
- Armorhide is finally in his proper colours in this story arc!!
- Stockade emulates Galvatron from the G1 Movie when he stands on Unicron's maw and tries to bargain with him
- I'm sorry...how was MIKAELA, a small HUMAN supposed to guard the Autobot base from Decepticons ALONE?!?!
