	Anode returned to the medibay to search for Lug, only to realize that nobody had any idea who she was talking about.

	Anode took this in stride and happily greeted Flame...only for Wipe-Out to inform her that Flame ''wasn't'' the Grand Architect. After enduring Flame's annoyingly euphemistic phrases, Anode attempted a heroic punch but soon decided to flee, turning to jet mode while having Lug and Wipe-Out grab her. She flew back to the funeral compound where they'd fist found the coffin mech and procured a leftover sample of his ''sentio metallico'' for Wipe-Out to analyze who found the metal held the blueprints for millions of alternate modes. Suddenly getting a call from Velocity, the trio walked to [[Mengel]]'s compound where Nautica's super-sized alternate mode burst out before the group made a brisk getaway. After said getaway, Anode offered Wipe-Out a place in their adventures but he turned it down. {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}		Anode took this in stride and happily greeted Flame...only for Wipe-Out to inform her that Flame ''wasn't'' the Grand Architect. After enduring Flame's annoyingly euphemistic phrases, Anode attempted a heroic punch but soon decided to flee, turning to jet mode while having Lug and Wipe-Out grab her. She flew back to the funeral compound where they'd fist found the coffin mech and procured a leftover sample of his ''sentio metallico'' for Wipe-Out to analyze who found the metal held the blueprints for millions of alternate modes. Suddenly getting a call from Velocity, the trio walked to [[Mengel]]'s compound where Nautica's super-sized alternate mode burst out before the group made a brisk getaway. After said getaway, Anode offered Wipe-Out a place in their adventures but he turned it down. {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}

	After Rodimus recognized the Sparkeaters as ''Lost Light'' crew, Anode questioned whether they were actually a threat.

Almost immediately all the doors began shutting around them, cutting off Rodimus and Cyclonus from the others. Then the ship's oil reservoir poured on top of them, the ship's oil reservoir filled entirely with scraplets, causing Anode to have a panic attack.

	Anode feared that the scraplets were going to eat the team, but Ultra Magnus tried to reassure them by pointing out scraplets didn't actually have a digestive system. After Grimlock's attempt to slay the creatures didn't succeed, Anode, Lug, and Drift were grabbed by the scraplets, before they turned their attention on Whirl.

	As it quickly transpired, Megatron was not the enemy the Grand Architect had been preparing for. Rather, it was Functionist Cybertron, engineered into a representation of Primus himself. As the alternate Cybertron destroyed the God Gun, Rodimus and Megatron bickered, until the Grand Architect revealed himself. Megatron had his ship shoot out the Worldsweeper's windows, sucking several of Team Rodimus, Anode among them, out into space, where Megatron had them pulled in. As Megatron expositied on what he'd been up to, the Magnificence chimed in with its proposal, that they destroy the Functionist Primus, prompting Anode to point out how selective it was being with its interjections.

And as I say, the circumstances of her arrival altered a little, too – she was going to cross paths with the crew of the Lost Light under the mutineer Getaway’s command, as opposed to being rescued by the time-traveling Necrobot. I was in a bit of a bind when MTMTE ended, because it ended on the mother of all cliffhangers: the main cast, and the planet on which they’d been left stranded by Getaway, had apparently blown up. So, they were dead, their ship had been stolen, they were falling behind on their quest … I had an obligation with Lost Light to pick up where I’d left off, but it was far from a neat jumping on point for new readers. Anode, being a totally new character – and someone who was unfamiliar with our regulars and their backstory – was my way of re-introducing all the series’ key concepts without it being too clunky. But Anode was and is more than just a means to an end. I wanted a driven, funny, independent, ebullient, cheeky new character, with a unique set of skills.\|year=2017\|day=04\|month=04}}</ref>
