Pax Cybertronia On Gorlam Prime, it is a time of peace, and Alpha Trion entertains a group of three young Autobots with tales of times past. The four speak of Megatron's insurrection, the Dinobots' attack on Shockwave, and Optimus Prime's defeat by Megatron. The stories are cut short when the fireworks for the upcoming Remembrance Night ceremony begins and Alpha suggests the youths go home. One youth expresses preference for Alpha's stories over the media-tron—his experiences are much more real. This comment prompts an arriving Ironhide to rebuff Alpha's supposed presence at events during the Great War. The young Autobots are in awe of the veteran and, after a question, leave for their homes to prepare for the ceremony.
At the ceremony, the speaker establishes that it has been fifteen million years since the end of the Unification Wars and the Great Years. He introduces the key speaker for the event, the last veteran at Gorlam, Ironhide. Ironhide makes his speech, noting that the prosperous time they live in is what the Autobots fought for all those years. He recalls the fight against Thunderwing, Megatron's invasion of Earth, his own fight against the Insecticon swarm, and Megatron's battle against the D-Void. Ironhide finishes his speech, expressing that his time has passed and leaves the hall.
Outside, Alpha Trion finds Ironhide looking at the stars. Alpha asks the old Transformer if he believes Megatron is still out there and comforts him with the thought that Optimus Prime, too, is still out there. Ironhide doesn't understand why he is being honored—he did little else but punch Decepticons. Now, he's just a relic of a bygone era who did nothing to build the current civilization. Alpha Trion tells him that the future is based on the past, and that Ironhide's contributions are vital to understanding what is to come. One of the three young Autobots comes up to the pair and asks Ironhide what would happen if Megatron returned. When Ironhide points out that they stopped him before and can stop him again, the young one asks him to tell him the story of Megatron's defeat.
