The Autobots are somewhat unimaginative.

When the war with the Decepticons started, the Autobots moved from theLoopto an underground base they dubbedAutobase: Cybertronand which they equipped with aspace bridgeportal. One million years later, Autobase's scanners picked up aMini-Conhoming beacon fromEarth,Armada #3soOptimus Primeled a small team to the other planet in search for the Mini-Cons. On Earth, they fought theDecepticonswho had also received the signal. After a tough battle, the Autobots made a deal with the Mini-Cons to help them look for their missing comrades. To this end, they built a new Autobase,Autobase: Earth,inLincolnfor them and the Mini-Cons to live in for the time being.Armada #5

The young alliance was put to the test immediately. The Mini-Cons obtained footage that proved theAir Defense Teamhad been captured by the Decepticons, but when they showed it toOptimus Primeback at Autobase, he rejected their plan to save them, stating it was too dangerous.Armada #6He and the other Autobots saw the error in their assessment whenMegatron,enhanced by the power of a quadruplePowerlinx,attacked Lincoln and nearly had Autobase's roof collapse on top of them.Armada #7

Despite that the Mini-Cons had been right and their disobedience had saved the Autobots from certain doom, Optimus Prime was not pleased with the Mini-Cons' initiative and reprimandedSparkplug,as representative of the Mini-Cons, about it. The Mini-Cons, of course, did not take this well. When they suddenly left the Autobase not much later, naturally the Autobots's first guess was that they were taking a time-out. This wasn't the case, however, as analien objecthad hypnotized the Mini-Cons and intended to take the Mini-Cons off of Earth. The Autobots arrived too late to stop the abduction,Armada #8but the mark left behind by the perpetrators left no doubt abouttheir identityand thuswherethe Mini-Cons (andRad) had been taken. The Autobots returned to Autobase, initially to sit around for either the Decepticons or the Mini-Con abductors on theMoonto make a move. WhenAlexisandCarlosinquired about the passive behavior, Optimus explained that the only way they could save the Mini-Cons and Rad was that they'd get materials from Cybertron. However, if they'd use the space bridge, that would create a signal the Decepticons could pick up and use to find the location of Autobase: Cybertron. Carlos and Alexis had little understanding for that logic and demanded that the Autobots take action themselves, to which they obliged.Hot ShotandRed Alertwent to the Decepticon base atSilver RidgeArmada #9to assure the Decepticons wouldn't keep any space bridge data their scanners would pick up, allowing Optimus Prime to travel to Autobase: Cybertron unseen.

At Autobase: Cybertron, Optimus Prime was greeted byJetfire,acting commander of the Cybertron-stationed Autobot forces. Because resources were scarce, Optimus could only be given one transport gunship to carry out the rescue mission on his own. He returned with the ship to Autobase: Earth,Armada #10where he hooked up Carlos and Alexis to theSimulcrumsystem, so that they could join him on the mission without having to leave the safety of Autobase.Armada #11

Some time after Rad and the Mini-Cons had been rescued and everyone had gotten back to base safely, Autobase was contacted bySmokescreenandScavenger,who had recently come to Earth per space bridge. They reported about a doomsday weapon the Decepticons had been building. Optimus Prime was ready to put all of Autobase's resources into stopping whatever the Decepticons were up to, but Sparkplug reminded him that there were still Mini-Cons missing and that if the Autobots wouldn't come to their aid, there was a significant chance the Mini-Cons currently allied with the Autobots would leave. Optimus acknowledged this concern and personally informed the Mini-Cons of the upcoming rescue mission.Fire & Ice

Though the rescue mission was a success, odd things happened thereafter. Optimus Prime disappeared inAlaska,whileanother, dead Optimus Primeappeared inside Autobase: Earth. Contact was made with Jetfire at Autobase: Cybertron to ask if he had seen "their" Optimus Prime and what to make of all this. The two stations agreed to keep searching, which resulted in the discovery of a Mini-Con from another dimension:Over-Run.Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4Over-Run was brought back to base, where he explained that Optimus Prime was stuck in another dimension and that he could retrieve him with hisnull-reality pods.The problems were that the Decepticons had confiscated the pods and that the dimension Optimus Prime was stuck in still had to be identified. The Mini-Cons volunteered to infiltrate the Silver Ridge base to retrieve the pods, while the Autobots and some Mini-Cons would stay at Autobase and scan realities looking for Optimus.

At Autobase: Cybertron, a disturbance in local dimensional space stemming from overuse of thespace bridge nexusatDecepticon Command Headquartersattracted the attention of Jetfire's group, and they set out to discover what was wrong. Meanwhile, Megatron's group attacked Autobase: Earth shortly after the Mini-Cons left. Megatron knew Prime was gone, but was surprised by the inefficient way the Autobots defended their base. Before he could get answers, his troops were taken out by adimension hopperlooking for and intending to kill Megatron.Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4Megatron andGalvatron's subsequent struggle destroyed nearly all of the already heavily damaged Autobase, but missed the part where theSpace Teammanned the computers searching for Optimus.Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4The End
