The storybook
A narrator describes two royal brothers who ruled over the magical planet of Cybertron. Orion Pax used his powers to create Transformers while his brother, Megatronus makes good progress in gladiator battles. Megatronus became resentful because the citizens of Cybertron relished Orion's work but shunned his gladiator talents. One day, he refused to stay a gladiator. He even change his name to Megatron and vowed to bring his army to Cybertron and bring it to its knees. His used the Matrix of Leadership to banish him to the caverns of Cybertron, and took on responsibility for both creating Transformers and doing gladiator stuff. The narrator's voice changes to that of Thomas the Tank Engine who reads that harmony has been maintained on Cybertron ever since.

The prophecy of Megatron
Thomas walks by Hot Rod, Kup and Blurr, who invite him to Override's party. Thomas says he has to study and runs off. He enters a library atop an ivory tower and instructs Ryan F-Freeman to find a book called Predictions and Prophecies. Ryan looks and found a book what Thomas is talking about. Thomas realizes that Megatron will return on the day of the Prime Selection, which is the day after tomorrow. He sends a letter to Orion Pax to alert him. Orion's reply to Thomas says that he trusts Thomas completely, but he has to stop reading "those dusty old books".

Meeting engines on Sodor
