* Shockwave proves himself a MagnificentBastard of the highest order. Due to his machinations, he's managed to consolidate all the useful Regenesis Ores on Cybertron, advancing his plan into its final phases. That ''pales'' in comparison to his other gambit, though: turns out Shockwave was playing Nova Prime and Galvatron, some the most powerful characters in the entire series, for chumps ''the entire time''. He was "banking" on Nova getting caught in the crossfire, so he could ''harness the energies of the Dead Universe itself''.

Moving to proper title.

Added DiffLines:

!Chapter 1
* The ''Lost Light'' rescuing Orion Pax's crew from the collapsing Gorlam Prime.

!Chapter 2
* It's small, but Bumblebee getting some much-needed CharacterDevelopment and giving a verbal smackdown to the Dinobots was pretty awesome.
* Orion, Rodimus, Hardhead and Cyclonus enter the Dead Universe by basically ''diving into a section of collapsing reality''.
* That one part in the Dead Universe where you realize that robot shadowing the others is none other than ''Nightbeat''. That's right, the same Nightbeat that had his brains blown out by Hardhead five years ago

!Chapter 3
* Metalhawk coming back to life and confronting Starscream for his murder, before abducting Megatron.

!Chapter 4
* Rung, armed only with a staff, is not only able to hold his own for a time against one of the Ammonite combiners, he's also able to hit it in just the right way to force it to un-combine into the knee-high Ammonites it's made up of. Slightly diminished when he gets taken down from behind almost immediately after.
