Optimus woke up in a giant white room, with barriers and turrets everywhere. Next to him, he saw some of his Autobot friends,
"Where... Am I?" asked Optimus,
"Glad you asked" said a speaker atop the seemingly infinitely high roof, "Welcome to the Matrix! In here, I can generate, teleport and destroy matter!"
"Let us g-"
"Play along, or I'll wipe all traces of you from the multiverse!"
"Who even are you?"
"Complete all 5 levels, and maybe I will consider revealing my identity!"
Level 1: Autobots vs. Scylla
A giant spider-like monster rose from the ground. The other Autobots quickly woke. Scylla's spindly leg rose to crush Ironhide, but he transformed into a new vehicle, one he had never seen before,
"W-what is this thing? In all my years I ain't ever seen a vehicle like this!" Ironhide cried,
"I downloaded new vehicle forms into you while you were asleep!" the speaker explained,
"You cannot use us like puppet-" Optimus shouted before being electrocuted by an invisible force,
"Play along," demanded the Speaker. Optimus was about to be crushed by one of Scylla's giant legs, but was rescued by Arcee,
"Optimus, we need a plan!" explained Hot Rod, who tried to grab onto Scylla's leg but was shook off instantly.
