I-QUEUE goes over negative-polarity universes.

Synopsis

I-QUEUE explains that the energies of the universal streams throughout the multiverse can either be positive or negative. While the majority of known universes are positive, the negative universes are not as rare as once thought to be. In these, right becomes wrong, good becomes evil, etc. He proceeds to quiz you on your knowledge of these universes:

1. Primax -408.24 Epsilon, aka the "Shattered Glass Universe", was among the first negative-polarity universes cataloged. In this world, which faction created the ability of transformation? A. The Autobots B. The Decepticons C. The Mini-Cons D. The Junkions

2. What was the false name the evil Alpha Trion gave to his sword's supposed previous owner, in an attempt to convince Skyfall of his sincerity? A. Prima B. Nexus Prime C. Slaughter D. Mayhem

3. In Malgus -411.27 Zeta, this protoform somehow made her way to Earth, where she encountered and attacked the man she would later call her creator. This man would experiment on her, upgrading her with fragments of the AllSpark. Who is she? A. Alexis Thi Dang B. Carly Witwicky C. Verity Carlo D. Sari Sumdac

4. A deceitful, cunning, and non-talkative Autobot, he was captured with the rest of his crew by the human Isaac Sumdac and enslaved. Although he'd love to stab Optimus Prime in the back, their shared hatred of the doctor has them cooperating for now. Who is he? A. Bug Bite B. Wasp C. Bumblebee D. Stinger

5. Unlike the Cybertronians of negative universes seen in the Primax and Malgus clusters, the GoBots of Gargent -1084.22 Alpha are almost all nearly identical in appearance to their positive counterparts. Along with Adventas, who among the TransTech discovered this universe? A. Rhinox B. Silverbolt C. Prowl D. Cheetor

I-QUEUE notes that he said good becomes evil, but the reverse is true as well. Some of the most evil individuals in the multiverse become unwavering heroes, showing a rare side of the Decepticons. In Primax -408.24 Epsilon, the Decepticons were found by Megatron. Unlike the villain of other universes, this Megatron had great compassion for the inhabitants of Cybertron. After countless battles with the evil Optimus Prime and his evil Autobots, no one would have suspected that Megatron would be killed by one of his own troops. But Cyclonus, his assassin, had been manipulated by Alpha Trion. Brought back into the world of the living by the Thirteen as Galvatron, one of his first actions was to pardon Cyclonus and restore him to the Decepticon ranks, showing a rare empathy unique among Megatrons.

Notes

Transformers references

B is the correct answer for question one, as seen in the original "Shattered Glass" comic. The question is illustrated with the "One Generation Shattered" lithograph from BotCon 2008 (pencils and inks by Alex Milne, colors by Josh Perez).
C is the correct answer for question two, as originally seen in "Transcendent: Part 3". Prima and Nexus Prime are members of the Thirteen; Prima had a power sword of his own, and Skyfall was a component of the later. The question is illustrated with a panel of the damaged Alpha Trion from "Reunification: Part 1" (pencils and inks by Robby Musso, colos by Josh Perez).
D is the correct answer for question three, as related by Sari's bio from the BotCon 2011 lithograph "The 'Cons". Her home universe's stream designation takes its date from Transformers Generations 2011 Volume 1's release date, which had art of Sari by Derrick J. Wyatt. (If you want to be technical, it probably should take its numbers from The AllSpark Almanac II, which had a testimonial from Shattered Glass Animated Swindle.) The other answers include other female human Autobot friends: Alexis Thi Dang from Armada, Carly Witwicky from Generation 1, and Verity Carlo from the IDW 2005 comics continuity. The question is illustrated with Sari Sumdac's character model.
C is the correct answer for question four, as seen on Bumblebee's tech specs on the BotCon 2011 lithograph. The other options include Bug Bite, a Renegade from Challenge of the GoBots who had an e-HOBBY and BotCon toy, both redecoed from Bumblebee, and whose BotCon 2007 toy serves as Shattered Glass Animated Bumblebee's color inspiration; Wasp, Bumblebee's arch-nemesis from the positive-polarity Animated universe; and Stinger, a man-made clone of Bumblebee from 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction. The question is illustrated with Bumblebee's character model.
B is the correct answer for question five; Silverbolt and Adventas discovered the positive GoBots universe, Gargent 984.08 Alpha, in "Withered Hope"; the AllSpark Almanac II also indicated they discovered the mirror universe seen in Challenge of the GoBots episode "Transfer Point". The universal stream numbers are slightly off, and it would be corrected the following year to "Gargent -1185.01 Alpha" in The Complete AllSpark Almanac. The question is illustrated with a panel of Silverbolt from "Transcendent: Part 1" (pencils and inks by Alex Milne, colors by Josh Perez).
The Trivia Bonus this issue goes over Megatron, from his start to his death and rebirth as Galvatron in the "Reunification" storyline.
- Other Megatrons are noted to have the nickname the "Scrap-Maker," a sanitized version of the "Slag-Maker" nickname from Megatron's profile in Marvel's The Transformers Universe.
- Images illustrating the Trivia Bonus include the gathered Decepticons at the Ark launch site from the original "Shattered Glass" comic (pencils and inks by Don Figueroa, colors by Espen Grundetjern); Cyclonus assassinating Megatron while Aquarius and Heatwave watch in shock from "Reunification: Part 4" (pencils and inks by Robby Musso, colors by Josh Perez); Alpha Trion from "Transcendent: Part 1"; Nexus Prime reformatting Megatron into Galvatron to fight Omega Doom from "The Coming Storm: Part 1" (pencils by Dan Khanna, inks by Frank Milkovich, colors by Josh Perez); and Galvatron and Cyclonus receiving a report from Cliffjumper from "Solar Requiem" (art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka).

Errors

In question one, Mini-Cons is misspelled as "Minicons".
In question three, Alexis Thi Dang's name is misspelled as "Alexis Thi Dong".
In question four, Bug Bite's name is misspelled as "Bugbite".
