The Aerialbots had just finished knocking off Bruticus when the touched back down on the Arc. Both the Nemesis and the Autobot ship were about to tumble through the space bridge, and nobody wanted to find out what would happen if you were outside the ship when it went through. However, the Aerialbots and several other Autobots didn’t get the chance to reenter the ship, as one of the boarding lines from the Nemesis slammed into their area, sending them and a small chunk of the Ark off the main ship moments before they entered.

The Aerialbots came back online exactly where they were as they entered the space bridge, except that they were no longer in space. Looking around, they noticed alien life everywhere, in what humans would call a forest.

Air Raid spoke up first, “So, where do you think we are now?” he asked his teammates while slowly observing their surroundings. Jetfire responded, “I have no idea, but this seems to be an organically based planet.” He had a bad feeling, Silverbolt spoke up, “we need to check on our comrades” he was looking around at several of the wounded and dead around them, “we seem to have casualties.”

Not including them, there were 15 Autobots, three of them being heavies. There was a couple of dead bodies, casualties from the battle on the Ark. One of the heavies spoke to Silverbolt, “Where is the rest of the ship? Where is prime?” he said in his deep voice. A couple other of the bots commented on that, agreeing. Silverbolt responded to them, “Prime was last seen going to the engine deck, it seems that we have been separated from him. In the meantime, I’ll be taking command. I want some of you to check the perimeter, and establish if there is any intelligent life, but whatever you do, do not engage it”. The Autobot heavies went out into the forest a few paces, they didn't have their weapons out yet, but were prepared to in case any Decepticons showed up.
