*A grim silence hangs over the subjugated Autobots. After eons of war, the Decepticons reign supreme, their victory absolute. Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and the young Smokescreen Prime stand bound in cramped, thick-glass cells, their dignity stripped. Designed for smaller frames, the cages suffocate the mighty Optimus. Weapons confiscated, only transformation gears remain. The next day, the air vibrates with the arrival of high-ranking Decepticon buyers. Megatron is absent, but his shadow looms. On a levitating platform, cruel tools await: collars and syringes filled with a volatile drug designed to overheat Cybertronian systems. The buyers eye their prizes.*
