	In [[Kolkular]], Scorponok commands his forces to scavenge what portions of their fallen are intact and functional, but to take care not to fall prey to the weakness that caused their demise. An injured Decepticon objects, asserting that it was purely chance and not weakness that caused some to die and others to survive. Scorponok berates his subordinate's soft thinking, but is suddenly moved to action when the Decepticon mentions [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]], an impertinence which the lackey pays for with his life. Scorponok tells the others not to scavenge the newly-dead Decepticon, because he was weak. He likewise vows that anyone who mentions Megatron will suffer similarly.

	On [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], Megatron bursts from the roiling depths of the [[Acid Sea]]. [[Pentius]] has remained in spite of his captor having been dragged away, and is impressed that Megatron has survived. The warlord in exile remarks that the [[Sharkticon (G1)\|Sharkticons]] released him unexpectedly, a fact that Pentius finds fascinating. He remarks that while Megatron may yet escape this wreck of a planet, it is more important that he learn the lesson of its downfall. Pentius reveals to Megatron that the wretches he has encountered are the remnants of an affluent, thriving race which was beset with the exhaustion of its fuel supply. Megatron vows that he will not let the same befall Cybertron, for his thirst for dominance will keep him from the idleness of the benighted people of this world. Pentius seems satisfied with his answer.		On [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], Megatron bursts from the roiling depths of the [[Acid Sea]].

	In [[Kolkular]], Scorponok commands his forces to scavenge what portions of their fallen are intact and functional, but to take care not to fall prey to the weakness that caused their demise. An injured Decepticon objects, asserting that it was purely chance and not weakness that caused some to die and others to survive. Scorponok berates his subordinate's soft thinking, but is suddenly moved to action when the Decepticon mentions [[Megatron (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Megatron]], an impertinence which the lackey pays for with his life. Scorponok tells the others not to scavenge the newly-dead Decepticon, because he was weak. He likewise vows that anyone who mentions Megatron will suffer similarly.

	On [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], Megatron bursts from the roiling depths of the [[Acid Sea]]. [[Pentius]] has remained in spite of his captor having been dragged away, and is impressed that Megatron has survived. The warlord in exile remarks that the [[Sharkticon (G1)\|Sharkticons]] released him unexpectedly, a fact that Pentius finds fascinating. He remarks that while Megatron may yet escape this wreck of a planet, it is more important that he learn the lesson of its downfall. Pentius reveals to Megatron that the wretches he has encountered are the remnants of an affluent, thriving race which was beset with the exhaustion of its fuel supply. Megatron vows that he will not let the same befall Cybertron, for his thirst for dominance will keep him from the idleness of the benighted people of this world. Pentius seems satisfied with his answer.		On [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]], Megatron bursts from the roiling depths of the [[Acid Sea]].
