They arrive on Earth soon afterwards, to find the place a battlefield, as Treadshot couldn't wait for the Autobots before going after the evil Ultra Magnus.
Ultra Magnus claims that he plans to keep destroying universes until he has enough energy to conquer Cybertron and overthrow Optimus (because...sure...why not?).

Notes
- Grimlock is sent off with Galvatron and the Decepticons...guess the writers didn't know what to do with him for this story huh?
- Prowl's new body is based on his Animated counterpart's body, but with some modifications
- Stonecruncher is shown in a new colouration of his G1 toy's character model, rather than the reuse of Timelines Astro-Hook he was announced as originally.
- Ultra Mammoth attributes his stupid pun name to Grimlock....I'd like to know who to blame for it in the real world though...
- Ultra Mammoth mentions that he ALSO has an artefact of the Thirteen...when does he know that Ultra Magnus has one too?!
