END OF THE ROAD! The Autobots are faced with multiple threats, one of them a danger not only to Cybertron, but to the whole Universe! Trapped between Shockwave's attack and Unicron's onslaught, Optimus and the Autobots struggle to make sense of what's left of their world, as Optimus' colonist soldiers contend with a brutal reality—they have no homes to return to. Plus, Shockwave reveals ancient truths—as an old friend tries to reconnect with Cybertron.
