Following a faint energy signature that resembles the AllSpark, the Ark enters an unexplored region of space and discovers the cyberformed ocean world of Aquatron, colonized by the Great Cybertronian Empire during the Golden Age. The Aquatronians welcome the Autobots in peace, offering them energon and other resources to aid the Autobot Commonwealth against their Decepticon enemies. However, in a surprising twist of events, the Aquatronians suddenly betray the Autobots, revealing the presence of the Ark to Megatron and then disable both the Autobot flagship and the Nemesis. The Aquatronian leader Deseeus reveals themselves to actually be a Quintesson Judge and takes Optimus Prime, Megatron, and their respective crews captive, using a kill switch that deactivates Cybertronians to incapacitate both forces on Aquatron. While in captivity, Team Prime and Team Kaon discover that millions of years ago, when Cybertron and the inner colonies lost contact with Aquatron and the rest of the outer colonies amidst the chaos brought by the Rust Plague, Aquatron was conquered by the Quintessons, who annexed the virtually defenseless planet into their Quintesson Pan Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere in the hopes of using it as a launching point for their eventual reconquest of Cybertron. The Aquatronians themselves are then modified by their invaders into mind-controlled slaves with little to no memory of their Cybertronian origins.

On Cybertron, Lockdown locates and incapacitates Alpha Trion, taking him to Shockwave where the Decepticon scientist hooks up the ancient recordskeeper to Vector Sigma in an attempt to take control of the master computer. But Lockdown reveals himself to be working for the Quintessons, and the connection between Alpha Trion and Vector Sigma allows the Quintessons to reactivate an ancient Space Bridge beneath Iacon, which allows the Quintesson army on Aquatron to easily invade the city. As Sharkticons and Terrorbots flood into the Autobot capital during the Seventh Battle of Iacon, Gelgastorm's Decepticons struggle to overcome the invaders and Shockwave himself fights Lockdown. With the planet on the verge of falling to the enemy, Ultra Magnus and Gelgastorm forge an unexpected alliance between their forces against the Quintessons. Meanwhile, Shockwave reluctantly frees his reluctant former mentor, Alpha Trion, and the two work together to successfully deactivate the Space Bridge.

On Aquatron, Optimus Prime and Megatron work side-by-side to free the Ark and Nemesis crews from their captors. During their escape, Megatron kills Deseeus and destroys his control device over the Aquatronians, freeing them from their servitude. Thankful for their savior, the Aquatronians swear their allegiance to Megatron and promise to join the Decepticons in their fight against the Autobots as a sign of gratitude, once Aquatron is fully liberated from Quintesson control. As the Ark and the Nemesis are forced to flee from the planet before an approaching Quintesson armada, Megatron swears vengeance on their captors.

Start of the Sixth Quintesson Wars: Under the command of the Alpha Quintesson, the Quintesson Expeditionary Forces attack Novatron and the Decepticon capital world of New Kaon, conquering both worlds. Optimus Prime and Megatron form an temporary alliance against this new threat out of Cybertronian history, pooling in their strategic and tactical resources in the Cybertronian Grand Alliance.

The allied forces of the Autobots and the Decepticons on Cybertron succeed in rounding up the remaining Quintesson forces on the planet, though Shockwave has been forced to supply them with many of his secret caches of synthetic energon that was meant for his Regenesis Program in the process, setting his plans back by millennia. With the Cybertronian Grand Alliance still at war out in space, the two sides maintain an uneasy truce on the homeworld.
