"Cybertron: the homeworld we Autobots have strived to protect from the Decepticons, can no longer sustain us. Eons of civil war have caused the greatest of casualties: our planet's very core has shut down, halting its production of life-giving Energon. Most of of us have abandoned our home, in hopes of finding a new life among the stars.
I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We do not know how many of our brothers escaped Megatron's blockade. I can only be certain of this...just one transport remains."
-Optimus Prime
Alpha Trion grew ever more despairing for Cybertron, and he set a radical plan into motion: the construction of the largest spaceship in Cybertronian history, the Ark, on which most of the Autobots may escape. Several Autobots - including Alpha Trion, the Wreckers, Jetfire, and a newly repaired Omega Supreme - volunteered to stay on Cybertron and protect what little territory the Autobots still held. As most of the Autobots fleed to the Ark, Megatron commanded Trypticon to transform into an equally large spaceship, the Nemesis, in which he and most of the Decepticons would give pursuit, leaving Shockwave in charge of the remaining Decepticons on Cybertron with orders to wipe out the rest of the Autobots by the time they returned. The Ark took off into space, and the Nemesis pursued. They flew to the last intact Space Bridge, but because no one alive knew how to use it, there was no guarantee it would work. As the two giant spaceships got within range of the Space Bridge, it indeed activated and teleported them to an uncharted part of space.
