	One by one, the [[G1 GoBots]] wake up, repaired and recharged for their journey to the [[Caretaker]], who will hopefully provide them with the key to saving both [[Gobotron\|GoBotron]] and [[Solarbot]]'s homeworld. [[Path Finder]] tries to convince herself she's made the right decision; [[Treds]] feels stressed enough trying to protect his team while trying to save their universes; [[BuggyMan\|Buggyman]] continues his insidious plots; [[Road Ranger]] wonders if they could take up residence on Earth; [[Bad Boy]] prepares to be sidelined once more; [[Small Foot]] still wonders about her dreams and what they mean; and Solarbot is only partially recharged, hoping to avoid combat. All are aware that the fate of their worlds depends on them...		One by one, the [[G1 GoBots]] wake up, repaired and recharged for their journey to the [[Caretaker]], who will hopefully provide them with the key to saving both [[Gobotron\|GoBotron]] and [[Solarbot (individual)\|Solarbot]]'s homeworld. [[Path Finder]] tries to convince herself she's made the right decision; [[Treds]] feels stressed enough trying to protect his team while trying to save their universes; [[BuggyMan\|Buggyman]] continues his insidious plots; [[Road Ranger]] wonders if they could take up residence on Earth; [[Bad Boy]] prepares to be sidelined once more; [[Small Foot]] still wonders about her dreams and what they mean; and Solarbot is only partially recharged, hoping to avoid combat. All are aware that the fate of their worlds depends on them...

	At 6:00 AM, the GoBots gather in the [[Ironworks (facility)\|Ironworks Base]] hangar, where [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Metalhawk]] waits for them. Opening the bay doors, he shows them the [[Micromaster Transport]] they've prepared, and introduces them to their pilot, the erratic helicopter [[Skyklik]]. Skyklik explains to them that he is an interdimensional refugee much like themselves; the Autobots found him after [[Ultra Magnus (SG)\|Ultra Magnus]]' attack on their base, with no memory of who he was or where he came from, treating him as one of their own. [[Man-O-War]], as blunt as ever, questions Skyklik's abilities, and Path Finder concurs that with their mission being one of life or death, he might not be the best choice. Metalhawk reassures them that he is more than qualified to be their pilot, and Buggyman, having apparently taken an interest in the mysterious Autobot, quickly agrees. Skyklik promises that he'll do his best to help them save their worlds, with the matter settled, Path Finder begins to make a speech. With both [[Guardian (GoBots)\|Guardians]] and [[Renegade]]s working to save their world, she feels that it is best that she chooses from both teams: Small Foot and Road Ranger, for their tracking skills, Bad Boy with his flight mode, and Buggyman for his drones. Small Foot is elated, but quickly realizes that this decision has sidelined Treds. Treds accepts Path Finder's decision, though is worried that they might get into trouble, a fear shared by [[Rest-Q (GoBots)\|Rest-Q]], while Man-O-War once more insults the "useless" Treds. Path Finder tries to assure Treds, hoping they won't get into any conflict, but Metalhawk informs her some disturbing news: [[Stepper (SG)\|Stepper]] has vanished without a trace from his cell, indicating that the evil Autobots of this dimension might be looking for them. The Autobot commander advises them that they'll need the security, and surprisingly, Buggyman willingly gives up his seat, offering his autonomous drone [[R-Navi]] to take his place. With this settled, Skyklik has the others get ready...but what they don't realize is that Buggyman has ulterior motives. Recognizing Skyklik as the sleeper his master, [[Zero]], sent to enable the takeover of Ironworks, Buggyman prepares to finish the job his amnesiac partner was meant to complete...
