	On [[Io]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]] hurries to rescue [[Wheelie (G1)\|Wheelie]], [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Blurr]], and [[Marissa Faireborn]] from certain death from the natives. However, the [[Predacon (G1)\|Predacons]] arrive to steal the [[Transformation cog\|Transformation Cog]] intended for [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]]. Initially, the Predacons turn out to be all bark with no bite. However, they merge into [[Predaking (G1)\|Predaking]], and manage to disorient Wheelie, Blurr, and Faireborn. However, Sky Lynx attacks Predaking, and causes him to separate. Sky Lynx orders the others to board him, and Wheelie discovers the cog.

	Meanwhile, Galvatron orders [[Blitzwing (G1)\|Blitzwing]] to give a status report to the Quintessons. However, Blitzwing overhears that the Quintessons don't have the [[Decepticon Matrix]]. What's worse, they want the [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticons]] to pull a [[large switch]] which will deactivate the [[Transformer]]s all over the galaxy. Blitzwing tries to tell Galvatron, but the psychotic [[Decepticon leader]] merely beats him. Blitzwing realizes that there is one other option... side with the Autobots to stop the Quintessons.

	*There appears to be a human city quite close to Autobot city, but previously in the [[The Transformers: The Movie\|Movie]], there were no signs or suggestions of a human city being nearby.

	*The Quintessons' wariness over the humans, previously touched upon in [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2\|Part 2]] and [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4\|Part 4]], appears to have been well-founded, as Spike single-handedly foils their plan. Considering the nature of their endgame and that they were aware of the Autobots' "association with these humans," it begs the question of why the master manipulators never factored human intervention - and [[Large switch\|kill switch]] immunity - into their schemes. On the other hand, it's not clear why Spike waited for the Quintessons to land and make their way "deep into Cybertron" before destroying the switch. Unless it was just his way of making a particularly showy point to both Galvatron and the Quintessons.		*The Quintessons' wariness over the humans, previously touched upon in [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2\|Part 2]] and [[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4\|Part 4]], appears to have been well-founded, as Spike single-handedly foils their plan.

			*Why exactly does the lever that causes every Cybertronian to shut down cause ''Grimlock'' to shut down? He and the other Dinobots were built on Earth!
