Five years after Optimus Prime and the Autobots have defeated Unicron and rebuilt Cybertron, a new war begins on Cybertron as the new leader of the Decepticons has plotted to free Unicron while somewhere on Earth, a missing member of the Decepticons...
"I don't understand. The crystals were here a while ago." Orion Eclipse said.
"You don't suppose that something happened here that made them disappear, right?" Anthony Carter asked. But Orion simply shook his head, and replied, "I don't think that any of your people would come up here for these crystals. They wouldn't even know what they are, or what to do with them."
"Well, even if they did, I don't see any forklifts around here. Or any signs of construction for excavation." Anthony said. "Let's keep looking."
Orion and Anthony began searching around the cave for the Energon crystals when they suddenly saw a strange glow that drew them deeper into the cave. Orion holds his human friend in his hand as the two investigators find out where that strange light is coming from. They soon reach the cave interior and discover something that they didn't expect to see: a massive sword in the stone.

(The Sword of Primus)
"Woah!" Said the duo in complete awe. "What is that?" Orion asked. "I don't know. But I think it looks like...a sword in the stone." Anthony said. "Where on Earth did it come from?" Orion Eclipse asked.
"I'm not sure. I think we should check it out. It might be the robot equivalent of King Arthur's Excalibur." Anthony said to Orion. The Cybertronian stepped forward, drawing close to the big sword in the stone while holding Anthony in his hand. They suddenly heard voices and some heavy footfalls coming from the right. Ratchet, Ironhide, and Hot Rod appeared in the cave, having finally found the missing Cybertronian relic. But it seems it had been found first by Orion Eclipse and Anthony Carter.
When they both saw the Autobots, they were shocked. None of them who were present in the cave were prepared to see each other, and tensions were suddenly, yet steadily growing. After seeing them, however, Orion could feel as if the nightmare he had the other night was coming true. Things grew worse when Ratchet saw the Decepticon insignia on Orion Eclipse's chest. He and his comrades were shocked before Ratchet yelled as he pointed at the young bot.
"DECEPTICON!!!"
The Autobots aimed their weapons at Orion Eclipse, leaving both him and Anthony frozen in fear. Anthony didn't expect to see more of Orion's kind, and Orion Eclipse never even thought about seeing more giant robots other than himself. He didn't recognize the Autobots standing in front of them - but when he and his human friend saw them drawing their weapons, they were both intimidated. And they began to realize they were both in danger now.
"He's the only one here! And he's holding a human hostage. Hold your fire!" Ironhide said. The pair looked at each other with serious concern. Human hostage? Decepticon? What were these robots going on about? Before they could move, however, the Autobots primed their weapons at Orion so he won't get any ideas. "Stay where you are! Hot Rod, don't let him near the relic!" Ratchet ordered the young Autobot.
"I'll hold him down, you get the human to safety! Ironhide will get the relic!" Hot Rod told Ratchet. Orion and Anthony screamed in terror before they started to run away. The Autobots pursued them, and in an incredibly swift move, the young Autobot, Hot Rod tackled Orion Eclipse by the legs and tripped him. This caused him to launch Anthony into the air, forcing him to watch the human fall out of the young Cybertronian's arms before Ratchet caught the young human just in the nick of time.
