Confrontation with Shockwave didn't pass without consequences, Optimus's spark began to decay, and the Matrix of Leadership decided that his successor will be... Megatron, who wants to finally end the war.
The Lost Light crew is on their way to find...
A huge dark hall, the distant stone walls of which are decorated with ancient paintings... intersecting rays of blue light... red light... yellow... green... concentric circles in the floor... Everything merges into one. Five bright lights... A white beam... Movement... A huge iridescent funnel with a white center right in the middle of outer space... Not a black hole... something else... This is the path. I feel it with my spark, we need to go there...

"Skids, report to Cybertron — we've reached Yuntara."
"Aye, sir."
Minimus? Skids? Megatron shuddered sharply and looked around in confusion. The ship's bridge, all the mechs here are performing their assigned tasks, and in front - already very close - is a red-orange dusty planet, which already occupies almost the entire visible space of the panoramic window. Far below, one can already make out a white-gray amorphous formation, streaked with many intersecting lines, some of which are much wider than others. A city. It's a city. The ship is in orbit... We are about to land... What... what did I miss?
"Hey, co-captain!" Yellow digits tinkled softly near Megatron's olfactory sensor. "It's not time to sleep." The silver mech flinched and stared to the right, where Rodimus sat in the captain's chair. The left servo is still pointing towards the Decepticon.

"What?" Megatron growled softly through clenched dentas. He could hardly restrain himself from grabbing the red-and-yellow Autobot's forearm, in the past the Decepticon leader wouldn't have tolerated such impudence.
"Wake up, you," removing the servo, the Prime's apprentice repeated with a more serious look, "we are about to..."
Rodimus didn't have time to finish, as the next second the image of his mentor appeared on the right screen. Behind him one could distinguish the control panels and mechs behind them. Megatron immediately realized that the broadcast was being conducted from the control center. The image of the ruler of Cybertron blocked all view outside the ship. Everything that happened there faded into the background for Megatron: now all attention on the Unicron damn winner... that is, the leader of the Autobots... that is, Optimus Prime.
