The camera pans across the fractured, dying crust of Iacon, settling on a subterranean mining shaft where dust motes dance in the harsh glow of headlamps. Four cogless miners—Lance, Brimestone, Solus, and Vexis—huddle in the gloom, their sparks uncertain in a world torn between Optimus’s freedom and Megatron’s tyranny. The air is thick with the weight of a millennia-long war that refuses to end. Brimestone, frustration mounting, slams a metallic fist into the rock face, sending debris cascading. Solus, indifferent, barely glances up from her work. The fate of Cybertron hangs in the balance, but for now, these four are just survivors in the dark, unaware of the legends—or tyrannies—that await them above.
