	Though Crossblades and company were highly suspicious of the man, they agreed to follow him nonetheless, as he claimed to have a spaceship stashed nearby. As they camie upon the craft however, the man revealed himself to be a Decepticon Pretender, and opened fire on Spike to provoke the Autobots into unveiling their true natures as well. Crossblades demanded an explanation for this sudden outburst, and the Decepticon provided it: he wanted to test the fighting capabilities of his fellow Cybertronians. The Decepticon went on to explain the recent history of the Autobot/Decepticon war that had transpired in this universe, his speech culminating in the revelation that Crossblades's group was dealing with the local Megatron! {{storylink\|History}}		Though Crossblades and company were highly suspicious of the man, they agreed to follow him nonetheless, as he claimed to have a spaceship stashed nearby.
