TFCC - A Flash Forward #6

Plot
Jhiaxus' Firecons attack the freed Autobots, but are able to fight them and the Sharkticons off. Pyro reveals that he knows that Hi-Q is in Jhiaxus' chest compartment and has Blaze free him, the Autobots escape from the lab as it starts to explode.
Outside Ironhide, Bumblebee and Mirage stop the Autobots from leaving, whilst on the roof Nightracer is watching and thinks this is all wrong, she's soon joined by the Battlechargers and Side Burn, who has just recovered all his memories thanks to the battle sounds below, Nightracer says that he has to stay with them as they're a team, but Side Burn instead says that she should come with him and the Autobots instead.
The Autobot Clones are convinced that if they come with the Autobots they can live in peace, and that Jhiaxus lied about them being just warmongers. Sky-Byte says to Jhiaxus that he can't let them leave, but Jhiaxus just says that he doesn't care as he has more clones, and that this just proves that he needs to kill the older generations before releasing his new Transformers.
Later, the Autobots have returned to Earth and the Battlechargers are given leniency for helping Side Burn before. Everyone is happy, except for Sizzle who comes up to the group and reveals his most recent vision: The Machine Wars are coming!
In Axiom Nexus, the Trans Techs are monitoring the multiverse for more damages after the Shattered Glass version of Ultra Magnus destroyed the Classics Universe, and have detected that some more universes are folding in on themselves and being destroyed as a result, but more worryingly that 2 small ships from the Classics Universe were also pulled into another universe, a previously time-locked one where the Origin Matrix is located!
Soon two of the Primes recruited by the local Optimus head to a seedy location, where they find some Transformers from various universes playing a poker game, and they recruit Depth Charge for a mission.

Elsewhere in Axiom Nexus, Aquarius is playing the Transformers I.Q. game when a smaller Transformer returned with a shard of a "cosmic blade" which "the big guy" needs, and agrees to send her back to her home universe (whilst quoting Wizard of Oz a lot)

Notes
  • The images shown on the screen in the epilogue are different from those seen in the pre-released version used to advertise the Sub Service figures
  • It's unclear how Pyro knew that Hi-Q was in Jhiaxus' chest, since his ability only lets him see a few seconds into the future
  • Sizzle's premonition about needing to get a parking ticket is revealed here to be because he needed the time to have his distant future vision of the Botcon 2013 storyline (based on Machine Wars it seems)
  • It's not shown if the Clones of Rumble and Soundwave joined the others in leaving with the Autobots
  • On the screens in the epilogue the Tracks seen is being turned into his yellow alternators repaint it seems (and Galvatron seems to be turning into a repaint as well)
  • The Origin Matrix shown here looks like the one that comes with Big Convoy (is it a coincidence that one of the sub service figures is a repaint of him (Ultra Mammoth)
  • Is it weird that the freebie figure for 2013 seems to be getting a bigger role than the many figures that you have to spend a load of money for?
