	* Okay, so... the big narliphant in the room is, of course, the reveal that the Go-Bots of this universe are suggested to be the creators of Cybertron, the Cybertronians, and, presumably, all of the many other mechanical lifeforms who populate the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]]. There's some wiggle room here, as it's never specifically ''said'' outright, but Road Ranger (who rallies his troops with a cry of "Transform and roll out!") alludes to his next creation being an "optimized" version of himself in a clear nod to [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]], Bug Bite (who is depicted with a very [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]]-like head that doesn't appear on his toy) considers a similar course of action, and Leader-1 and Cy-Kill's remains come together to create a distinctly colored jet-bot that's unmistakably a proto-[[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]]. Now, this does have ''some'' precedence in Tom Scioli's other major piece of ''Transformers'' fiction; [[Earth: R.I.P.\|issue #10]] of ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' alluded to a living planet known as "[[Daiakuron]]", which had supposedly seeded the galaxy with many transforming planets in the early days of the universe—and art in ''that'' issue depicts Daiakuron with a loose resemblance to Gobotron's own bifurcated appearance. All of this certainly does seem to tie in to Road Ranger's intent to populate the multiverse with "Gobotrons, each with their own name..." though ''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe'' would also postulate that the [[~~Maker~~]]s who supposedly created Daiakuron would, themselves, eventually evolve into the higher-dimensional Quintessons, so... it's all a little up in the air, is what we're saying.		* Okay, so... the big narliphant in the room is, of course, the reveal that the Go-Bots of this universe are suggested to be the creators of Cybertron, the Cybertronians, and, presumably, all of the many other mechanical lifeforms who populate the ''Transformers'' [[multiverse]].

The determined Go-Bot is able to punch his way into the vessel, and deals with Cy-Kill's retinue one after the next: dousing [[Fitor (GoBots)\|Fitor]] with volatile liquigen fuel, downing [[Tank (GoBots)\|Tank]] in the ship's cafeteria, overpowering [[Loco (GoBots)\|Loco]] and hurling him into the [[Disintegration Chamber]], where his body disappears in a flash of light. Meanwhile on the ship's bridge Cy-Kill seeks to understand the full scope of [[Leader-1 (GoBots)\|Leader-1]]'s duplicity; having gained access to the [[Enemy Re-programming Center]], the Renegade leader has come to understand that nothing on Gobotron is as it seems: all Go-Bots, including himself, have had their minds wiped and reset, their bodies disintegrated and regenerated —all to preserve Leader-1' s despotic rule over Gobotron. Not far away, Turbo and two of the human astronauts are conducting their own investigation of the re-programming center, and Turbo is briefly struck by a flash of memory, of Scooter's own traumatic experience. Curiosity overrides his better urges, and despite himself Turbo calls up the files to learn the truth of what happened that fateful day... and learns, much to his horror, that Scooter had consented to the process due to his traumatic memories, and it was ''Turbo'', unaware of this, who yanked him out of the machine early and damaged his friend's mind. Seeking to plumb the full depths of the truth about their civilization, an impatient Cy-Kill is more than ready to start testing the reprogramming center on his captives, both human and Go-Bot. Their worries are cut short when an enraged, vengeful Turbo crashes through the doors and opens fire on the group, his shots taking the rest of Cy-Kill's inner cadre out of action and sending [[Crasher (GoBots)\|Crasher]] fleeing.

	Having escaped the depredations of Leader-1 long ago, Turbo is one of the few Go-Bots not to have had his mind erased, and though Cy-Kill tries to assure his foe that he will be a better leader for Gobotron. Turbo warns him that the only way their civilization can go forward is if Cy-Kill shuts down the Command Centers, the memory wipes, the myriad deceptions and lies of Leader-1. But then Turbo spies Cy-Kill's human prisoners on the testing slab and a struggle breaks out, and Turbo finally puts Cy-Kill down by shooting him through the eyes, destroying his head. In his last moments, Cy-Kill flashes back to the moment of his creation, which set him on the path he followed for the rest of his life: his creator telling him that his function was to be a motorcycle for his fellow Go-Bot servants to ride. The threat vanquished for the moment, Turbo springs Scooter from prison, and the two dodge their way past laser grids and other defense measures to take control of the Command Center—only for Crasher to bar their way. But Turbo is done with fighting, and simply tells the Renegade warrior that he just wants to go home. The war is over, and what to either of them stand to gain by carrying on the old hatreds that their leaders perpetrated? Crasher gratefully accepts, and the two of them fly the Command Center and the [[Thruster]] back to the surface of Earth, to rendezvous with the other Guardians.
