	Whirl would eventually find his arm in the unlikeliest of places—a cupboard in the "fortress" on the [[Necroworld]] where Megatron and "[[Team Rodimus (G1)\|Team Rodimus]]" were under siege from the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and [[Deathsaurus (G1)\|Deathsaurus]]'s forces. As the dying [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ravage]] explained to the others, Megatron had spent the intervening year reaching out to try and recover Whirl's arm through the space bridge, allowing him to create and maintain a two-way connection to the black hole and siphon antimatter from it. Then, having trapped the D.J.D. inside a [[force field]] with him, he used that antimatter to tear them to pieces. {{storylink\|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle\|Do Not Go Gentle}}		Whirl would eventually find his arm in the unlikeliest of places—a cupboard in the "fortress" on the [[Necroworld]] where Megatron and "[[Team Rodimus (G1)\|Team Rodimus]]" were under siege from the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and [[Deathsaurus (G1)\|Deathsaurus]]'s forces.
