	In the present, the [[Reaper]]s attack the [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] in [[Oregon]]. Megatron demands information from [[Blitzwing (G1)\|Blitzwing]], who gives him obvious observations. Megatron is '''not''' impressed. He asks where [[Astrotrain (G1)\|Astrotrain]] is, and Blitzwing makes up a quick lie to hide the truth, as Astrotrain is scheming with Starscream. Sixshot arrives and blasts a hole in the Reapers' ship. The [[Deathbringer (IDW)\|Deathbringer]] observes his arrival, and converses with another Reaper, saying that Sixshot will be given another chance to join him, or be destroyed with the other Decepticons.

	On the ''[[Ark-32]]'', [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]], still missing his right arm, is watching as [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]] attempts to zap [[Jimmy Pink]] and [[Verity Carlo]] back to life. At this point, they have been technically dead for 5.62 [[Earth]] minutes and even if they are revived, "there's every chance that they'll have sustained critical brain damage". Ratchet manages to get their hearts beating again, but their brain status is unknown. On the bridge, [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Prowl]] tells [[Hardhead (G1)\|Hardhead]] that they're the only ones available, as Ratchet has to tend to [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Bumblebee]] and Jazz, while [[Nightbeat (G1)\|Nightbeat]] works on information from [[Hound (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Hound]]'s unit. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] also has a conversation with [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jetfire]], who mentions [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]].
