summary: Getaway speaks with Froid about how his tenure as captain of the Lost Light has been going: after securing most of the crew's help in the upcoming mutiny, Getaway and his chief co-conspirator Atomizer were arrested for manipulating Tailgate, but those loyal to Getaway freed the two once Team Rodimus leaves for the Necroworld. However, the crew was unaware of Getaway's plot to hand Megatron over to the Galactic Council, leading Getaway to distract them with the Warren: a collection of space-time tunnels he learned about from Tyrest that they can use to quickly find Cyberutopia. The Lost Light soon receives the last wishes of Team Rodimus, and Getaway wants Froid and Sunder to mnemosurgically remove those incriminating memories before the crew turns on him. Sunder's price of twenty-five dead crew members is steep, but Getaway decides to acquiesce; Riptide is unaffected by the nudge gun and tells the Protectobots the truth, and Getaway traps the team in their own memory loop and sacrifices Riptide to the horde of ravenous scraplets in the ship's oil reservoir, using his nudge gun to make him forget how to transform.
summary: The tense standoff between Nautica and the Scavengers is defused when Krok realizes they are seeing two different things. The illusions of the Afterspark and Garrus-9, respectively, disappear, leaving them with a strange medical ward-like environment. Rodimus, Ratchet, Drift, and Magnus are attacked by an army of golems that once safeguarded the Magnificence; as a suspicious Whirl warns Magnus that everyone else is about to die, Ratchet destroys the tank of green light and deactivates the illusion. The group realizes that they are still alive and on the ancient medical center Mederi, the telepaths having powered a custom euthanasia clinic based on the victim's greatest wish – in their case, Cyclonus' desire to see Tailgate again. However, Nautica and the Scavengers arrive having found Circle of Light members among the bodies in Mederi's morgue; Rodimus realizes that their map to Cyberutopia matches the course from Cybertron to Mederi...and that Mederi is Cyberutopia! To prove it, Rodimus finds archival footage of the sickened Knights of Cybertron arriving on Mederi, their desire to return home having transformed Mederi into their own personal utopia of a perfect Cybertron. Cyclonus finally tells Tailgate he loves him as the other ghosts disappear, but the little bot does not, having been alive all long. However, the question of how that is possible is interrupted when Team Rodimus and the Scavengers are attacked by the mutinous crew of the Lost Light, transformed into Sparkeaters!

summary: As one, Team Rodimus awake in an unfamiliar landscape to find several strange things happening; Ten can speak, glyphs reciting the ancient Cybertronian creation story litter the walls, and a gigantic Matrix of Leadership hovers above the planet's surface. Ten's spark is absorbed by the Matrix after he properly speaks to and thanks Rodimus, and Swerve and Cyclonus realize what has happened; they are in the Afterspark, a transitional point between life and death, having died when Skip's shuttle mode gave out. Staunch atheist Ratchet is skeptical, but the ghosts of dead bots appear to them and confirm that they are waiting to accept their fate and fully ascend to the afterlife, as Ten had: Trailcutter, Pipes, Roller's old friend Springarm, and Tailgate, with whom Cyclonus happily reunites. Whirl goads Rodimus into challenging the Afterspark's overseeing gods for an audience, who is promptly summoned before the all-powerful Guiding Hand, the first five Cybertronians: Primus, Solomus, Adaptus, Epistemus, and Mortilus.

summary: Fortress Maximus and his team track the last wishes of the Lost Light’s crew to the Necroworld, finding that the Disappeared Decepticons have taken over. As Red Alert plays with the Necrobot's discarded cloak, the others discover Tailgate's isolation chamber and are shocked when it appears he has spontaneously combusted. Meanwhile, tensions are running high among Team Rodimus inside Skip; Swerve and Anode recruit Velocity and Whirl for a prank war, Roller gets mad at Chromedome and Rewind for enjoying some "alone time" inside his alternate mode, Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus attempt to connect but fail, and Ratchet suddenly begins to lose color as if he were dead. Cyclonus does not take the news of Tailgate's supposed death well and accidentally slices Rewind with his sword, while Ratchet begins to dematerialize, Anode triumphs over Swerve in the prank war, and Skip's shuttle mode begins to shrink. As the chaos reaches a fever pitch, Ten suddenly begins speaking in full sentences and announces that he has a plan to save everyone.

summary: Cybertronian archaeologists Anode and Lug awaken on the Necroworld five hundred years after being saved from certain death by the Necrobot. Ultra Magnus brings them and the rest of the Disappeared up to speed on what they have missed; as the Lost Lighters mingle with the Disappeared, the Decepticon Fangry targets Tailgate and Cyclonus, Drift gives Rodimus a new paint job symbolizing both grief over Skids' death and a desire for vengeance against Getaway, and Brainstorm teleports Nightbeat and Rung back to the planet's surface. Brainstorm repairs the Necrobot's teleporter as Rung grieves Skids, while Anode accidentally causes Drift to experience a terrifying vision of Pharma, leading an army of Sparkeaters and Worldsweepers, facing him, Rodimus, and Grimlock in battle. Rodimus, Minimus Ambus, Chromedome, Rewind, Drift, Ratchet, Megatron, Terminus, and Roller teleport back to Cybertron, only to find themselves on Functionist Cybertron instead!
summary: Grimlock is shackled and brought before Scorponok and Flame, seemingly unrepentant over killing the Scavengers, distracting them long enough for the still-alive Decepticons to surround them. Krok reveals that Nickel diagnosed Grimlock with non-fluent aphasia and had Spinster restore his mind while in dinosaur mode, and carefully disassembled the rest of the Scavengers to make it look like Grimlock tore through them. When Fulcrum asks the Magnificence about Scorponok's plans, Scorponok takes over the explanation and reveals an organic baby tattooed with a Decepticon insignia inside his chest; this "Firstborn" is the first of a new line of organic Decepticons, and Scorponok means to revive the fading Decepticon race through procreation, offering the Scavengers a place at his side. They decline as one, tired of fighting, and Nickel uses a paralytic voicemail from Tarn to buy them enough time to escape with the Magnificence and the Firstborn. The Scavengers decide to travel to Garrus-9 to extract the Decepticon spark from the Firstborn but realize that organics cannot use transmat teleportation; Grimlock simply pushes them through the portal and places the Firstborn in his chest, resolving to find another way back to them as the Scavengers find themselves locked in Grimlock's old cell on Garrus-9. In the past, Flywheels joins the Scavengers while Scorponok and Flame are brought into the Grand Architect's service.

summary: One week after escaping the Functionist Universe, Team Rodimus converts the body of the dead Decepticon Skip into a larger shuttle to find the Lost Light and seek help, while the rest of the Disappeared remain on the Necroworld to await pickup. As Minimus Ambus, frazzled after Megatron's departure, finds himself unable to operate the Magnus Armor, Tailgate decides to stay on the Necroworld, coldly telling Cyclonus he no longer believes they have a future together. Rodimus tricks Magnus into acting like his old self again by lying about Megatron's moral character, still angry himself over the former Decepticon's apparent decision to stay in the Functionist Universe. Whirl comforts Cyclonus as Team Rodimus leaves, while Kaput informs Tailgate of a procedure to drain all the excess energy from his spark, returning him to normal; Tailgate agrees despite the fact that the procedure requires him to be buried underground in a box for six months. However, Fangry, still bitter over the beating he received at Tailgate's hands, kills Kaput and resets Tailgate's timer for six million years.

summary: Mirage and the Protectobots – First Aid, Blades, Hot Spot, Streetwise, Groove, and Rook – crash their crippled shuttle inside the Lost Light, only to be held at gunpoint by the ship's security team. Getaway warmly welcomes First Aid back to the ship while dodging questions as to how he became captain, the conspicuous absences of Rodimus, Megatron, and their close companions, and why Thunderclash is once again comatose in the medbay. As the crew gathers to socialize in Mirage's old cocktail lounge "Visages," the suspicious Protectobots are told the truth by Riptide: Getaway staged a mutiny and removed Megatron and his supporters from the ship, polling the crew and erasing the conversation's memory from those who said they would stand with Rodimus and Megatron with his nudge gun. Discovering canisters of brain modules pocked with teeth marks stored in Swerve's old bar, the Protectobots and Mirage escape the ship only to be shot down and pulled back, unaware that their minds are trapped within an infinitely repeating memory loop.

summary: Sometime after the Functionist Council's defeat, Prowl arrives on Functionist Cybertron to report that Megatron must stand trial once again and that the Lost Light is being decommissioned. Rodimus convinces Prowl to allow the ship one last day of traveling, and the crew reminisces and parties in Swerve's bar one last time, having already forgotten about Rung, while Rewind records the ship for posterity. Nautica, Brainstorm, and Perceptor inform Rodimus that they may be able to pull one last stunt: recreating the initial quantum duplication of the ship while also shunting the duplicate into another universe to prevent another cancellation, so they can keep adventuring forever. Although the crew agrees, they have no way to know if the idea worked, so they return to Functionist Cybertron and end their farewell tour; the crew splits up as the Lost Light is scrapped and Megatron is taken into custody once again, and although Rodimus lies on the stand and claims Megatron did indeed open the final Matrix, the ex-warlord's fate is left ambiguous between execution and eternal imprisonment.
