On the planet Cybertron, the four-million year civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons has just come to an end. The democracy-promoting Autobots were victorious and have set to work rebuilding the society that was lost through the war. This victory came at a cost; the Matrix, an ancient life-giving artifact, was depowered in the final battle, rendered an empty shell. However, inspection of the shell revealed that the Matrix contained a mysterious star map. Enter Rodimus, a young upstart Autobot commander who, in defiance of High Command, decides to leave Cybertron on a quest. Rodimus and his second-in-command Drift believe the Matrix Map will lead to the Knights of Cybertron, an ancient order of warriors that legend claims gave civilization to the galaxy.

For this quest Rodimus seeks a mighty band of soldiers, philosophers, scientists, and heroes. Instead a ragtag collection of no-hopers join out of desperation, by complete accident, for the sheer fun of it, or in the hope of actually doing something meaningful with their lives. They leave on the starship [[MeaningfulName Lost Light]] to follow the map and bring a new golden age to the galaxy. Along the way, they encounter numerous mysteries, horrors, and strange occurrences, all the while unaware that they may be heading towards horrible forces from before recorded history...

This comic relies heavily on twists, surprises and foreshadowing for its impact so beware, some spoilers might be unmarked.
