in the year 2018 after the failed Black Rebellion, where a "Decepticon Siege of Tokyo" took place, resulting in Britannia's fall and Decepticon global domination. Megatron, having collaborated with Charles zi Britannia, turns on the empire, throwing the world into chaos as formerly occupied nations become warzones. The Autobots and Black Knights work to stop the Decepticons from finding Iacon Relics, often engaging in battles against figures like V.V. and Soundwave. Lelouch purposely became a tyrant, gathering all the world's hatred onto himself. By dying at the hands of Zero, his persona now taken over by Suzaku, he ends the cycle of violence, allowing the world to move forward.
