&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Crystalocution&#039;&#039;&#039; is an ancient martial art. It eschews the spirituality of other Cybertronian arts, such as [[Metallikato]] or [[Circuit-su]], to focus mainly on hand-to-hand combat in which opponents are destroyed via striking their metal fracture points.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Issue #8|&#039;&#039;Transformers: More than Meets the Eye&#039;&#039; #8]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*It is likely that Crystalocution is a nod to &amp;quot;{{w|Hokuto Shinken}}&amp;quot;, the martial art used by the protagonist of the popular &#039;80s anime &#039;&#039;{{w|Fist of the North Star}}&#039;&#039;, wherein opponents are (often explosively) dispatched by striking their pressure points. This in turn is based on the various less bloody real-life martial arts that specialize in utilizing the {{w|pressure points}}.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Another Light&#039;&#039; is, broadly speaking, the culmination of every dangling storyline that the Transformers Collectors&#039; Club has told since its inception in 2005, bringing everything to a conclusive, but open, ending. Set in the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (fiction)|Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039; reality, it is a &amp;quot;Shattered&amp;quot; version of &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; that directly follows up on the [[BotCon 2012]] comic &amp;quot;[[Invasion (issue)|Invasion]]&amp;quot; and the 2013 club comic arc &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039;, incorporating resolutions to the story of [[Nexus Prime]] and his search for the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], begun in the very first Club story back in 2005, and to the tale of [[Rarified Energon]], introduced in 2007. Towards its climax, Fun Publications&#039; 2015 &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: TransTech|TransTech]]&#039;&#039; Facebook story blogs even tied into the comic as its storyline evolved to affect the entire [[multiverse]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The story arc&#039;s title references the starship &#039;&#039;[[Lost Light]]&#039;&#039; in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]&#039;s ongoing &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; comic series. What it refers to in-story, however, is [[Gaea|something you probably did not expect]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
Departing prehistoric &amp;quot;[[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|Shatteredverse]]&amp;quot; [[Earth]] with the recovered [[Origin Matrix]] via an interdimensional portal, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Mammoth]] and his crew arrive on the present-day Shatteredverse Cybertron and ally themselves with the native heroic Decepticons. This strange mirror universe has just recently become home to Autobot refugees from their home universe, the &amp;quot;[[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|Classicsverse]]&amp;quot;, as well as the entire Classicsverse Earth, transplanted there to escape the destruction of the Classicsverse at the hands of the [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Shatteredverse Ultra Magnus]]. Soon, the heroes are forced to split into two groups to deal with threats that emerge on the two Earths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mammoth takes a team to the Classicsverse Earth to stop his evil counterpart&#039;s continued schemes. During Mammoth and Magnus&#039;s battle, Nexus Prime arrives on the last step of his multiversal journey and reclaims the Origin Matrix, which turns out to be the final piece of the fragmented Star Saber. Using the reformed Saber, Nexus banishes Ultra Magnus to another dimension, then uses the combined power of the Saber and the [[Terminus Blade]] to heal the damage Magnus&#039;s actions have wrought upon the multiverse. As a consequence of this strengthening of the walls between dimensions, [[multiversal singularity|multiversal singularities]] cease to exist, leading a &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; [[Unicron/Shattered Glass|Unicron]] and an &amp;quot;evil&amp;quot; [[Primus/Shattered Glass|Primus]] to come into being in the Shatteredverse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simultaneously, [[Megatron (SG)|Galvatron]] leads reinforcements to the Shatteredverse Earth to defend [[Decepticon City (SG)|Decepticon City]] against an attack by [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]&#039;s evil Autobots. [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] interferes with Optimus and Galvatron&#039;s duel, allowing Galvatron to claim victory; then, as the Autobots flee back to Cybertron, Rodimus has Optimus&#039;s wounded body ejected from [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]]. Optimus is found by Unicron and recreated as the heroic [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Nova Prime]], and is then sent to Cybertron to dispatch Rodimus. Rodimus survives the assassination attempt, and is recruited by the evil Primus, who then transforms Cybertron into his body. Primus attacks the Classicsverse Earth, but the Rarified Energon hidden on the planet is revealed to contain the lifeforce of [[Gaea]], long-forgotten sister to Primus and Unicron. Gaea teleports the Classicverse humans to the safety of another Earth in [[Of Masters and Mayhem|a parallel dimension]], then transforms Earth into her body and destroys Primus in battle. Afterwards, Gaea transforms back into planet mode, becoming a new Cybertron that is jointly ruled over by the allied Shatteredverse Decepticons and Classicsverse Autobots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Creative team==&lt;br /&gt;
The arc is written by [[Jesse Wittenrich]] and [[Pete Sinclair]]. Art duties were handled by [[Guido Guidi]] for the prologue and [[Eryck Webb]] for the rest, with [[Evan Gauntt]] on colors and Jesse Wittenrich on letters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;:&#039;&#039;Monoformers are a [[subgroup]] of [[Transformer]]s from the [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Demus some of my best friends are autobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|A Monoformer, yesterday.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Transformers that have lost their ability to [[Transformation|transform]] for whatever reason are known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Monoformers&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Monoforms&#039;&#039;&#039; or just &#039;&#039;&#039;Monos&#039;&#039;&#039;. Those that have made the choice to reject their [[alternate mode]] are politically represented by the [[Militant Monoform Movement]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Known Monoformers&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ammo]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Demus]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Krok (G1)|Krok]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===2005 IDW continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Demus suffered such from an extreme aversion to transformation that, as well as his [[transformation cog]], he also had most of his [[kibble]] surgically removed and could become ill if he merely witnessed someone transforming. Both he and Krok became members of Triple M. {{storylink|Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots}} Ammo, an [[Autobot]] [[M.T.O.]] created to defend [[K&#039;th Kinsere]], was also a Monoformer. {{storylink|Twenty Plus One}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prejudice against Monoformers, known as [[shapism]], was supposed to have died out by the present day, though [[Ambulon]] noted that &amp;quot;shape-hate&amp;quot; crimes still happened when the [[Genericon]]s [[Sonic (IDW)|Sonic]] and [[Boom]] claimed to be members of Triple M seeking asylum from the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] at [[Delphi]]. {{Storylink|Life After the Big Bang}} However, it turned out they were lying. {{storylink|How Ratchet Got His Hands Back}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*Author [[James Roberts]] admitted that Monoformers were a cunning way to explain the [[Action Master]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://theunderbase.libsyn.com/the-underbase-deconstructs-shadowplay &amp;quot;The Underbase Podcast Deconstructs Shadowplay&amp;quot; (01:37:19)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However this is by no means a hard and fast rule, as the Action Masters [[Rad (G1)|Rad]], [[Rollout (G1)|Rollout]], [[Powerflash]], and [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] were subsequently shown not to be Monoformers in &#039;&#039;[[Slaughterhouse]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

A &#039;&#039;&#039;Double Pretender&#039;&#039;&#039; is a type of [[Pretender]] that has two robots occupying one Pretender shell. The two robots are capable of [[Combiner|combining]] into one robot outside the shell.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Shattered Starscream.jpg|left|100px|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
The two Double Pretender shells were among the first Pretender shells that the [[Decepticon]]s developed. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations (SG)|Shattered Expectations}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Pretender [[Oilmaster]] operated as a bounty hunter, tracking the Decepticon outcast known as [[Magnificus (G1)|Magnificus]]. He was defeated by [[Eagle Eye (G1)|Hawk]] when the flying Decepticon arrived to make Magnificus an offer on behalf of [[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]]. {{storylink|Badlands (issue)|Badlands}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|Oilmaster is presented as a regular Pretender, with no obvious partner found inside his &amp;quot;Double Pretender&amp;quot; shell.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;TransTech&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s had never encountered a double pretender prior to Oilmaster. This led to some trouble for the Decepticon when he was jailed, but only two of his three components were fitted with restrainers. This caused him to act &amp;quot;twitchy.&amp;quot; He was nonetheless able to help repel the [[Waruder]] invader, alongside a group of other wanted criminals, when the situation arose. {{Storylink|Cybertron&#039;s Most Wanted}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Hasbro]] at one point had plans to release a Pretender subgroup consisting of a combiner pair inside one shell. Whether artwork was produced and whether the inner robots for the shells were given prototypes is unknown, but the two prototype shells have been spotted in two color schemes each. The four-armed spider creature has been seen in a black-and-grey deco as well as a predominantly brown deco. One version of the armored gorilla is grey with red armor, and the other is brown with black armor. The black spider creature and grey armored gorilla were first and last seen at a display at [[BotCon 1996]].&lt;br /&gt;

The shells are of the same size as the 1989 normal Pretenders. Unlike most other Pretenders, it seems the Double Pretenders were to be opened at the back to insert or remove the inner robots, rather than down the middle.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Cybertron&#039;s Most Wanted&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[BotCon 2015]] box set)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Accessories&#039;&#039;: gun, sword, friggin&#039; Pretender shell&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Oilmaster is a [[redeco]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class [[Swerve (G1)#Thrilling30|Swerve]] and [[Sky High (Micromaster)#Generations|Flanker]], which fit together into a newly-sculpted Pretender shell designed by [[Boss Fight Studio]] after the original unreleased Oilmaster toy. The Swerve redeco is colored to resemble Oilmaster&#039;s inner robot from &amp;quot;[[Badlands (issue)|Badlands]]&amp;quot;. The shell has shoulder and neck rotational joints (the neck being a first for Pretender shells), [[5 mm post]]-holes in its wrists, plus two 5 mm holes on its back for weapon storage. Unlike most Pretenders, the shell does not split in half to store the inner robots: instead the backpack swings up on a hinge for access to the inner cavity, with the truck slotting into the backpack-part proper, and the jet pegging into a post-hole inside the body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: His shell weapons are from &#039;&#039;[[Construct-Bots]]&#039;&#039; sets, notably [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Optimus Prime&#039;s]] sword and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Megatron&#039;s]] blaster rifle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Oilmaster was available [[exclusive]]ly in the [[BotCon 2015]] five-figure box set, packaged with [[Battletrap (G1)#Timelines|Battletrap]], [[Packrat#Timelines|Packrat]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Timelines|Megatron]], and [[Stepper (SG)#Toys|Stepper]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The shell was redecoed for [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|TFSS]] 5.0 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#DoublePretender|Optimus Prime]] (see below). The inner robot mold was also used to make TFSS 5.0 [[Quickslinger (G1)#Generations|Quickslinger]] and [[Hi-Q#Combiner Wars|Hi-Q]]. It also served as the basis of the non-toy &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]&#039;&#039; incarnation of [[Swerve (SG)|Swerve]].&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]&#039;&#039; Double Pretender [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations_toys#DoublePretender|Optimus Prime]] is a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]&#039;&#039; Legends Class [[Swerve (G1)#Thrilling 30|Swerve]], with a new head and a &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039;-inspired deco for his pickup truck mode. He reuses the blaster from his Legends Class figure while the shell&#039;s ion cannon is recolored from the one included with &#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Orion Pax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:He also comes with [[Hi-Q#TFSS|Hi-Q]] (a redeco of [[Sky High (Micromaster)#Generations|Flanker]])  and a Pretender shell redecoed from [[Oilmaster#Timelines|Oilmaster]]&#039;s, and it was decorated after the original unreleased grey-and-red gorilla shell.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Combiner Wars&#039;&#039; Double Pretender [[Megatron (G1)/Generations_toys#DoublePretender|Megatron]] is a redeco of his [[#GenerationsLegends|Legends Class toy]], with his coloration based on his canceled &#039;&#039;Generation 2&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (G1)/toys#CombatHero|&amp;quot;arctic-camo&amp;quot; Combat Hero Megatron toy]]. He also comes with [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] (a redeco of [[Blast Master#Generations|&#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; Payload]]) and his Pretender shell, which is redecoed from [[Grand Maximus#Super-God Masterforce|Grand Maximus]]&#039;s. Double Pretender Megatron also comes with a joint piece for Spacewarp to let her fit in the shell along with Megatron. This joint piece is sculpted to resemble the large chromed [[laser cannon]] that the original G1 Megatron toy came with. His Pretender shell weapons are black repaints of &#039;&#039;[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]&#039;&#039; Sentinel Prime&#039;s rifle and Voyager Class Optimus Prime&#039;s sword.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:There are two ways to make Megatron and Spacewarp fit into the shell:&lt;br /&gt;
::1. Fiddle the Megatron figure into a different position, and insert the joint piece on his chest to allow Spacewarp to attach on it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=How it all fits: https://t.co/pFFmXwkzpl|link=https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/857749521190801409|name=Jesse Wittenrich|site=Twitter|year=2017|month=04|day=28|(defunct=)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::2. If the joint piece doesn&#039;t work due to its tolerance, rearrange Megatron in a slightly different position, and peg Spacewarp into Megatron&#039;s arm.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citesocial|quote=If that doesn&#039;t work for you, you can skip the accessory and peg Spacewarp to Megatron&#039;s arm. https://t.co/aogfRbvhfD|link=https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/857749905867251712|name=Jesse Wittenrich|site=Twitter|year=2017|month=04|day=28|(defunct=)}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* In an interview, [[Vincent D&#039;Alleva|Vinnie D&#039;Alleva]] referred to these Pretenders as the &amp;quot;Monster Pretenders&amp;quot;. Whether that was actually supposed to be their name or if D&#039;Alleva got them confused with the [[Pretender Monster|other Pretender combiner group]] is not clear.&lt;br /&gt;
* A prototype pretender shell with a strong resemblance to [[Groundbreaker]]&#039;s was displayed alongside the two double pretenders at BotCon 1996. Whether it actually had any connection to the concept is unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
