	On [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] is caught in an ionized [[acid rain]] storm and takes cover in the wreckage of a nearby starship where he finds another occupant trapped under some debris. The alien introduces himself as [[Pentius]], a [[Quintesson]] who has been stuck in that very spot for centuries, spending his time using his ship's computers to map and memorize the surface of Junkion. Claiming to have expected Megatron, his fellow "king without a throne", he ominously warns the [[Decepticon]] that on this monstrous planet power is everything, and the only way to survive is to become a monster yourself. After Pentius tells him that there may be a way off the planet at the [[Pillar of Rust]] within the eye of the ion storm, Megatron frees him from the debris to serve as his guide... and slave.

He explains that he's a patriot, not a pacifist, but he's witnessed the [[Nova Prime\|cost of unrestrained hatred]] before and knows all too well that resorting to violence will only lead to more violence.

	As dawn rises on Toraxxis, the Dynobots prepare to head out with their ill-gotten gains only to come under attack from Scorponok's Decepticons, who have arrived to steal the refinery's fuel only find it's already being stolen. Thankfully Slag returns to his mates just in time to take out some of the 'cons, shrugging off the save by claiming he "got bored" alone, but his help doesn't even the odds and Grimlock is soon standing face to face with Scorponok. The Dynobot leader doesn't feel threatened though, since he's already triggered the refinery's alarm, summoning Autobot reinforcements in the form of [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]]!

He explains that he's a patriot, not a pacifist, but he's witnessed the [[Nova Prime\|cost of unrestrained hatred]] before and knows all too well that resorting to violence will only lead to more violence.
