	[[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] is unaccustomed to experiencing emotion, but cannot help but feel... ''something'' over the death of his brother, [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]]. True death is an uncommon thing on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], where metal bodies can be rebuilt and parts replaced, but thanks to the [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]]'s [[Coltonbolt]], Soundwave's head has been shattered, an injury that cannot be easily repaired. The pieces of Soundwave's head have been collected by Shockwave's nephew [[Rumble (G1)\|Rumble]], who, along with [[Laserbeak (G1)\|Laserbeak]], now prepare to join him on his mission bring their father back to life by voyaging into the land of the dead: the Cybertronian city of [[Kalis]]. Shockwave despairs over the fate of [[Ravage (G1)\|Ravage]], the most intelligent and useful of Soundwave's cassettes, who was last seen in the custody of G.I. Joe...

The specifics of how he (or indeed, how Soundwave's body) got back to Cybertron are left vague, with the narration noting that Venom's brainwashing and reprogramming attempts have left his mind addled and open to control by Snake Eyes.		*Ravage appeared under the control of [[Doctor Venom]] in [[Expelled from the Garden\|issue #6]].

	*Flame turned from the Autobot path when he discovered ancient, forgotten texts that spoke of "Metatron". This figure—an archangel from real-life Rabbinic literature—was previously mentioned in [[Expelled from the Garden\|issue #6]], in which it was alleged that Megatron inspired the legend among humanity. Here, it turns out that Metatron is known as a holy being by Cybertronians too, and Megatron claims to actually be an incarnation of this "Angel of Light", a concept vaguely evocative of his relationship with [[The Fallen]] the [[Aligned continuity family]].		*Flame turned from the Autobot path when he discovered ancient, forgotten texts that spoke of "[[Metatron]]".

	*Flame originally appeared in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|Marvel UK]] "[[City of Fear!]]" story arc.

	*The resurrected Soundwave has the emotionless, robotic voice of his [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|original cartoon]] counterpart. It may or may not be intentional, but his resurrection—involving his repaired head being attached to a newly forged body—is certainly evocative of his return to life as "Soundblaster" in ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|The Headmasters]]'' anime.		*The resurrected Soundwave has the emotionless, robotic voice of his [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|original cartoon]] counterpart.

He's even colored in Soundblaster-black in the illustration that accompanies the story, even though the text says he's still blue!
