The New Crystal City, the Decepticon's base of operations on Earth, has remained undisturbed by general Autobot activity for some time now. Yet, as things remain relatively quiet on the surface of NCC, something swiftly approaches; a massive shuttle emblazoned with the insignia of the Autobots closing in at phenomenal speeds, the roar of its engines growing louder and louder as it approaches. There is no attempt to hide their advance; the ship rears in, water cutting against its shining, metal armor as it grows closer and closer towards the sea. And, as it blazes over the Decepticon's Docks, the rear hatch of the Golden Age opens up, revealing a very large, very stern Ultra Magnus, plasma rifle in hand.
