Okay, the "story" was the first few issues to volume one, so i'll finish that off then go ahead and do volume 2
1:
Megatron can never be controlled, pure and simple. So eventually he retalliates against the guys controlling him and after reactivating a few of his 'cons, creates a virus by mixing transformer robotics with human DNA. It creates a metal like goop that keeps growing and turns whatever it touches to metal, in an attempt to turn earth into a 2nd cybertron. Grimlock ends up joining up with him, cuz he's tired of humans trying to kill him even when he's fighting for THEIR lives.
some 'good humans' end up reactivating Optimus Prime, who then uses the matrix to reawaken the downed autobot force. They meet up with Megatron and end up having a big brawl (that features an awesome fight between superion and devestator). Meanwhile, part of the autobot force is combating the virus.
Starscream and the seekers end up forcing superion to turn back into the arial bots through concussion missle barrages, so devestator is obviously in control now. Because they are so outmatched, many autobots end up pretty much giving up. Optimus however, gives a great monologue on how he is still a soldier, not just a leader, and manages to down Devastator by ramping off of a broken highway, transforming mid-air, landing on devastator's chest (devestator and superion are as tall as skyscrapers, so optimus is about the size of a mouse in comparison.) and killing him with one blast from his rifle to the eye.
the autobots manage to defeat the decepticons, and the other autobot team is able to stop the virus, but wheeljack sacrfices himself against the virus (though he is somehow still alive in volume 2...) and superion reforms and sacrifices himself to stop a nuke that the humans launched. Optimus prime gives a great monologue as the two events take place at the same time.
After the nuke's explosion, Prime is knocked out by a shockwave from the bomb. when he reawakens, its a few hours earlier. Most of the other autobots are awake again, but all of the 'cons have disappeared, save grimlock, who optimus helps out from under a huge pile of rubble.
Optimus Prime tells him that his "teammates" have abandoned him and he should rejoin the autobots. While saying this, Prime looks into the crowds of people and is able to see groups thanking the autobots and cheering for them. Grimlock then looks into the group and sees them cursing ALL transformers and saying they should all be killed just so THEIR war will finally be over.
Grimlock denies Prime's offer and walks off into the distance. Prime admits that he can actually understand grimlock, and part of him wants to follow him as well, and that now the war will never be the same.
end of volume 1
I'll do volume 2 a bit later....
