	Optimus Prime visits Scarlett in her cell to apologize for the way things have shaken out. He admits that peacetime is a strange new experience for him; he is not used to his voice not being heard, or his good intentions ignored, and he thanks Scarlett for coming to Cybertron to try and save his kind despite being on the receiving end of the same dismissive treatment he is enduring. Scarlett stresses that that's not the ''only'' reason she came to Cybertron—she is primarily here for Colton. She cannot understand how the man she once knew, the man who founded [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]], who offered her a spot on it after she was deliberately denied a promotion, could be the man behind this genocidal plan, and seeks to save him from himself. Scarlett thinks she must sound foolish to Optimus... but Optimus knows a little about risking credibility and the lives of others in order to save [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|someone long considered past redemption]], and promises to fight at Scarlett's side regardless of what happens next.

	As the villains draw near the access hatch that will take them out of the depths of Metroplex and on into the planet below, they are finally sighted by the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]'s internal systems, and he slows their advance by transforming the corridor around them. As Mayhem and [[Destro]] are sent sliding down a newly-formed slope, [[Tempest (~~Cobra~~)\|Storm Shadow]] snags Destro with her extending limbs; Mayhem is left to fall, and thinks Storm Shadow has abandoned him on purpose, but it turns out it was because Shazraella was waiting to catch him. Meanwhile, two teams of [[Badgeless]] led by Ironhide and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Sunstreaker]] move in to intercept them, but find their way blocked by the obstacles Colton set up: Sunstreaker's team is beset by the Red Shadows, while Ironhide's triggers the sensors Colton planted and winds up pinned down by fire from the turret-robots. Sunstreaker alone manages to fight his way through, and confronts the villains just as they are about to open the hatch leading into the planet. Despite being outnumbered, he orders them to surrender; Colton counteroffers, telling him ''they'' won't shoot if ''he'' stands down. Sunstreaker scoffs at the offer, knowing Colton's plan is planetary genocide... and Colton takes his point, and shoots him then and there. Through Metroplex's eyes, Windblade and Optimus Prime can only watch as Sunstreaker falls, and the villains escape out of the city... just as Scarlett had warned...

	In the [[Spire]], [[Marissa Faireborn]] dismisses [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita One]]'s order to have [[Scarlett]]'s team executed as ridiculous, but Elita stands firm, unswayed even by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] vouching for the humans. [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] adds her voice to Marissa's, opposing the motion, and Elita is forced to scale her demands down to forced deportation back to [[Earth]], which Marissa still opposes, since Earth is a member of the [[Council of Worlds]] with just as much right to represented on Cybertron as anyone else. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] speaks up, but Elita does not share the rest of the council's respect for him and dismisses his words, causing tempers to start flaring as other council members join the argument. Eventually, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]]—as ruler of the planet under actual attack—overrules everyone with his own decision. Knowing how hard it is to deceive Soundwave, he concludes that the humans are telling the truth about Colton and his mission to the core of Cybertron—but at the same time, he does not believe that the humans can bring any force to bear that actually endangers the planet, and orders Scarlett's team detained until the matter can be investigated.

	As Scarlett's team are escorted to a cell, Marissa assures them that, for all his posturing, Starscream will take the threat seriously, if only to not look weak in front of the rest of the council. And she's right: true to form, Starscream immediately orders [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ironhide]] to perform a security sweep of the tunnels beneath [[Metroplex (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Metroplex]]. Windblade, meanwhile, rebuffs an offer of help from Optimus; she tires of his wartime-leader mentality, thinking he knows best for everyone, and leaves for Metroplex's brain chamber to see if he has detected Colton's team with his own sensors. Soon enough, the [[Autobot]]s have verified Scarlett's story, finding Mayhem's abandoned "[[Outlaw]]" truck by a vent shaft, and they begin preparing to head in after them.

Scarlett thinks she must sound foolish to Optimus... but Optimus knows a little about risking credibility and the lives of others in order to save [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|someone long considered past redemption]], and promises to fight at Scarlett's side regardless of what happens next.

	In the [[Spire]], [[Marissa Faireborn]] dismisses [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita One]]'s order to have [[Scarlett]]'s team executed as ridiculous, but Elita stands firm, unswayed even by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] vouching for the humans. [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] adds her voice to Marissa's, opposing the motion, and Elita is forced to scale her demands down to forced deportation back to [[Earth]], which Marissa still opposes, since Earth is a member of the [[Council of Worlds]] with just as much right to represented on Cybertron as anyone else. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] speaks up, but Elita does not share the rest of the council's respect for him and dismisses his words, causing tempers to start flaring as other council members join the argument. Eventually, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]]—as ruler of the planet under actual attack—overrules everyone with his own decision. Knowing how hard it is to deceive Soundwave, he concludes that the humans are telling the truth about Colton and his mission to the core of Cybertron—but at the same time, he does not believe that the humans can bring any force to bear that actually endangers the planet, and orders Scarlett's team detained until the matter can be investigated.

	As Scarlett's team are escorted to a cell, Marissa assures them that, for all his posturing, Starscream will take the threat seriously, if only to not look weak in front of the rest of the council. And she's right: true to form, Starscream immediately orders [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ironhide]] to perform a security sweep of the tunnels beneath [[Metroplex (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Metroplex]]. Windblade, meanwhile, rebuffs an offer of help from Optimus; she tires of his wartime-leader mentality, thinking he knows best for everyone, and leaves for Metroplex's brain chamber to see if he has detected Colton's team with his own sensors. Soon enough, the [[Autobot]]s have verified Scarlett's story, finding Mayhem's abandoned "[[Outlaw]]" truck by a vent shaft, and they begin preparing to head in after them.

	Optimus Prime visits Scarlett in her cell to apologize for the way things have shaken out. He admits that peacetime is a strange new experience for him; he is not used to his voice not being heard, or his good intentions ignored, and he thanks Scarlett for coming to Cybertron to try and save his kind despite being on the receiving end of the same dismissive treatment he is enduring. Scarlett stresses that that's not the ''only'' reason she came to Cybertron—she is primarily here for Colton. She cannot understand how the man she once knew, the man who founded [[G.I.
