A prequel to Transformers Dark Of The Moon, Rising Storm centres on the dreams and schemes of Shockwave, whose history as a prisoner of the Soviet Union for most of the Twentieth Century is revealed as part of the backstory for Dark of the Moon. Liberated by Megatron and charged with re-consolidating the scattered Decepticon forces back under his command, Shockwave uses Brains to orchestrate a massive conflict between Optimus Prime's Autobots and Starscream's splinter cell of Decepticons, seeking to dominate all and stand triumphant in the flames
