	The next day, Cmdr. Witwicky, Bridge and Sarah talk about how they can stop the [[Decepticon]]s with an classified experimental weapon that the army, along with mentioning that New York City might be nuked, as agreed to by world leaders. If the group can get the weapon, they may have a chance to stop the Decepticons. Another refugee named [[Charles (G1)\|Charles]], an ex-army soldier turned cop, arrives and wants in on the action, due to the fact that a [[Rumble (G1)\|red-and-black colored robot with a loud mouth]] did something to him. With that, Spike smiles and says that it's time to save the world.		The next day, Cmdr.

With that, Spike smiles and says that it's time to save the world.

	On [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], as the [[Autobot]]s load up a weapon, [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ironhide]] tries to apologize to [[Mirage (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Mirage]], who sits silently. After trying to explain about their predicament, Mirage turns around and Ironhide is shocked; the Autobot symbol has been torn from Mirage's chest! Mirage angrily tells Ironhide that he was right; he doesn't deserve to wear the badge, and storms off. In the [[CR chamber]], [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]] tells [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] that although everyone is 100 percent operable with some requiring medical attention, their morale is what is troubling. Kup says that they need [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]], but Ratchet says that fixing Prime is problematic, as he was ''already'' damaged before the [[space bridge]] fried him. Ratchet tells Kup to prepare himself, as Prime might not survive the procedure that he and [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Wheeljack]] are doing to him.

	On [[Earth]], Spike acquires the weapon, which was made from one of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|whose arm was the weapon]]. The first prototype was as big as a house, but lately they've had some outside help to create a more portable one. With the gun, Spike hopes that he can make a difference, but then [[Rumble (G1)\|Rumble]] attacks them. As the humans are running from Rumble, Spike distracts the Decepticon with a motorcycle chase, but Rumble simply swipes at the bike, knocking Spike down. Before Rumble can kill Spike, Charles shouts out to him and uses a rocket launcher to shoot Rumble point blank in the face. With Rumble out, Charles has avenged the death of his son. Suddenly, a piercing noise distracts them.		On [[Earth]], Spike acquires the weapon, which was made from one of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|whose arm was the weapon]].

	*Spike's description of the secret weapon he was sent to find clearly indicates that it was based on [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], who had been in [[Skywatch]] captivity for a time. It is unclear, however, who gave the engineers "outside help" to reduce the gun from house-sized to hand-held.		* Spike's description of the secret weapon he was sent to find clearly indicates that it was based on [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], who had been in [[Skywatch]] captivity for a time.

	*Sideswipe's monologue about the Great War and the Autobots' role indicates some criticism of the galactic {{w\|Cold war (general term)\|Cold War}} style of conflict and the Autobots' rather detached approach. When he speaks of "acceptable losses," it's likely in reference to the end of ''[[The Transformers: Devastation\|Devastation]]'', when Prime orders the Autobots to leave Earth unprotected against the Decepticons in order to investigate the perceived greater threat of the [[Garrus-9]] breakout.		* Sideswipe's monologue about the Great War and the Autobots' role indicates some criticism of the galactic {{w\|Cold war (general term)\|Cold War}} style of conflict and the Autobots' rather detached approach.

	*According to Ratchet when he was talking to Kup, Prime was in really bad shape and might not make it. However several pages later after Sideswipe's speech Prime is suddenly all fixed and in perfect health in what appears to be less than a day. Didn't Ratchet mention it was not that easy to fix Prime? Or did Perceptor suddenly decide to help? We may possibly never know.		* According to Ratchet when he was talking to Kup, Prime was in really bad shape and might not make it.

	On [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], as the [[Autobot]]s load up a weapon, [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ironhide]] tries to apologize to [[Mirage (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Mirage]], who sits silently. After trying to explain about their predicament, Mirage turns around and Ironhide is shocked; the Autobot symbol has been torn from Mirage's chest! Mirage angrily tells Ironhide that he was right; he doesn't deserve to wear the badge, and storms off.

	On [[Earth]], Spike acquires the weapon, which was made from one of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|whose arm was the weapon]]. The first prototype was as big as a house, but lately they've had some outside help to create a more portable one. With the gun, Spike hopes that he can make a difference, but then [[Rumble (G1)\|Rumble]] attacks them. As the humans are running from Rumble, Spike distracts the Decepticon with a motorcycle chase, but Rumble simply swipes at the bike, knocking Spike down. Before Rumble can kill Spike, Charles shouts out to him and uses a rocket launcher to shoot Rumble point blank in the face. With Rumble out, Charles has avenged the death of his son.

	Back on Cybertron, the Autobots end up getting into an argument about how if Optimus Prime doesn't make it, they would still continue to battle the Decepticons. [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Bumblebee]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Hot Rod]] nearly come to blows, but [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] separates them. He tries to give the two a pep talk, but [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Sideswipe]] interrupts them, saying that [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Sunstreaker]] died because he finally understood what the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]] had done to him psychologically.

	Back on Earth, loud footsteps make Spike and the others cover their ears again, as Soundwave runs toward the source of the noise and finds the downed body of Rumble. Picking him up, Soundwave lets out a "sound wail" that shatters glass, then walks off with Rumble's body. The radio blackout has ended, and Spike is excited that he can finally call [[Sparkplug Witwicky\|his worried father]].

	On a rainy [[New York City\|New York]] evening, [[Bridge]] and [[Sarah]] are in a [[Gloomingdales]], looking for supplies for the [[human]] refugees. After getting a few large sized clothes, they notice [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Soundwave]] walk by a window, but he thankfully doesn't bother to look inside the store. Bridge and Sarah talk more about their current situation when they notice someone else in the store... it's Commander [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Spike Witwicky]], making a light joke about hating button fly jeans, to which the three introduce themselves.		On a rainy [[New York City\|New York]] evening, [[Bridge]] and [[Sarah]] are in a [[Gloomingdales]], looking for supplies for the [[human]] refugees. After getting a few large sized clothes, they notice [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] walk by a window, but he thankfully doesn't bother to look inside the store. Bridge and Sarah talk more about their current situation when they notice someone else in the store... it's Commander [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Spike Witwicky]], making a light joke about hating button fly jeans, to which the three introduce themselves.

	The next day, Cmdr. Witwicky, Bridge and Sarah talk about how they can stop the [[Decepticon]]s with an classified experimental weapon that the army, along with mentioning that New York City might be nuked, as agreed to by world leaders. If the group can get the weapon, they may have a chance to stop the Decepticons. Another refugee named [[Charles (G1)\|Charles]], an ex-army soldier turned cop, arrives and wants in on the action, due to the fact that a [[Rumble (G1)\|red-and-black colored robot with a loud mouth]] did something to him. With that, Spike smiles and says that it's time to save the world.		The next day, Cmdr.

	On [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], as the [[Autobot]]s load up a weapon, [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ironhide]] tries to apologize to [[Mirage (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Mirage]], who sits silently. After trying to explain about their predicament, Mirage turns around and Ironhide is shocked; the Autobot symbol has been torn from Mirage's chest! Mirage angrily tells Ironhide that he was right; he doesn't deserve to wear the badge, and storms off. In the [[CR chamber]], [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ratchet]] tells [[Kup (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Kup]] that although everyone is 100 percent operable with some requiring medical attention, their morale is what is troubling. Kup says that they need [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Optimus Prime]], but Ratchet says that fixing Prime is problematic, as he was ''already'' damaged before the [[space bridge]] fried him. Ratchet tells Kup to prepare himself, as Prime might not survive the procedure that he and [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]] are doing to him.

	On [[Earth]], Spike acquires the weapon, which was made from one of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|whose arm was the weapon]]. The first prototype was as big as a house, but lately they've had some outside help to create a more portable one. With the gun, Spike hopes that he can make a difference, but then [[Rumble (G1)\|Rumble]] attacks them. As the humans are running from Rumble, Spike distracts the Decepticon with a motorcycle chase, but Rumble simply swipes at the bike, knocking Spike down. Before Rumble can kill Spike, Charles shouts out to him and uses a rocket launcher to shoot Rumble point blank in the face. With Rumble out, Charles has avenged the death of his son. Suddenly, a piercing noise distracts them.		On [[Earth]], Spike acquires the weapon, which was made from one of the Decepticons, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|whose arm was the weapon]].

	Back on Cybertron, the Autobots end up getting into an argument about how if Optimus Prime doesn't make it, they would still continue to battle the Decepticons. [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Bumblebee]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Hot Rod]] nearly come to blows, but [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] separates them. He tries to give the two a pep talk, but [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Sideswipe]] interrupts them, saying that [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Sunstreaker]] died because he finally understood what the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]] had done to him psychologically. He wanted to die, and as far as Sideswipe is concerned, the Autobots all deserved to die as well.

	Back on Earth, loud footsteps make Spike and the others cover their ears again, as Soundwave runs toward the source of the noise and finds the downed body of Rumble. Picking him up, Soundwave lets out a "sound wail" that shatters glass, then walks off with Rumble's body. The radio blackout has ended, and Spike is excited that he can finally call [[Sparkplug Witwicky\|his worried father]].

	*Spike's description of the secret weapon he was sent to find clearly indicates that it was based on [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Shockwave]], who had been in [[Skywatch]] captivity for a time. It is unclear, however, who gave the engineers "outside help" to reduce the gun from house-sized to hand-held.		*Spike's description of the secret weapon he was sent to find clearly indicates that it was based on [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], who had been in [[Skywatch]] captivity for a time.

	*Sideswipe's monologue about the Great War and the Autobots' role indicates some criticism of the galactic {{w\|Cold war (general term)\|Cold War}} style of conflict and the Autobots' rather detached approach. When he speaks of "acceptable losses," it's likely in reference to the end of ''[[The Transformers: Devastation\|Devastation]]'', when Prime orders the Autobots to leave Earth unprotected against the Decepticons in order to investigate the perceived greater threat of the [[Garrus-9]] breakout.		*Sideswipe's monologue about the Great War and the Autobots' role indicates some criticism of the galactic {{w\|Cold war (general term)\|Cold War}} style of conflict and the Autobots' rather detached approach.

	*According to Ratchet when he was talking to Kup, Prime was in really bad shape and might not make it. However several pages later after Sideswipe's speech Prime is suddenly all fixed and in perfect health in what appears to be less than a day. Didn't Ratchet mention it was not that easy to fix Prime? Or did Perceptor suddenly decide to help? We may possibly never know.		*According to Ratchet when he was talking to Kup, Prime was in really bad shape and might not make it.
