The cramped quarters of the Autobot spaceship feel suffocating, cold metal walls pressing in as sensors flicker erratically. Outside, indifferent stars gaze down on their plight. The dark Energon infection, unleashed by Megatron, has mutated most into Terrorcons. Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee, Starscream, and Knockout remain uninfected, forced into an uneasy alliance. Trust is fragile, survival paramount. Shadows in the labyrinthine corridors seem to pulse with lurking threats, every echo a potential ambush. The threat of becoming one of them looms large over every decision made in this desperate flight through deep space.
