	In the [[Rust Sea\|Sea of Rust]], the battle for the [[Enigma of Combination]] rages on—although [[Termagax]] has unleashed an army of [[spectrosynth drone]]s on the advancing Decepticons, [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]] reports that the Decepticons still hold the numerical advantage. [[Pyra Magna]] warns [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] that the Autobots can't hold the Decepticons off much longer: he and Termagax need to settle their differences ''now''. While most of her drones are operating on a crude autopilot, programmed to shoot anyone with a purple [[Decepticon]] badge, she's focussed her attention on the last operational drone, which she's kept in reserve with the Enigma to enact a contingency plan and put the artifact beyond [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s reach. As [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]] orders the [[Battlecharger]]s to open a lane and move in for the kill, [[Skywarp (G1)\|Skywarp]] teleports in front of the Decepticon commander, mocks him openly, then warps straight into Termagax's [[House (building)\|walking fortress]]. After first dodging [[Sureshot (G1)\|Sureshot]] and [[Arcee (G1)\|Arcee]], Skywarp flicks through floor after floor, catching the attention of Optimus and the others as he does so; as Skywarp easily destroys Termagax's final drone and grabs the Enigma, Optimus arrives too late to stop him from warping away.

As the [[rust worm]]s devour Skytread alive, Sixshot is forced to abandon the Enigma and sounds a retreat. As the Autobots retreat with Termagax's House in tow, Optimus, Pyra, and Termagax take stock of their pyrrhic victory: although neither side can use the Enigma now, the Sea of Rust is no more and the rust worms it contained have been unleashed on a damaged and divided Cybertron. The last time the worms attacked, the planet itself acted to contain the threat—this time, however, the people of Cybertron may not be so lucky...

As he takes a moment to gloat, however, he's oblivious to the rising shadow behind him—the shadow of Sky Lynx, who easily chomps down on the smaller flier and roasts him alive! Skywarp teleports to safety in the nick of time, but is forced to abandon the Enigma, which clatters down to the ground, where the ambitious [[Flywheels\|Skytread]] snatches it up. Sixshot lands and orders him to hand it over; when Skytread refuses, Sixshot finally deals with his would-be rival by shooting him in the chest... but before Sixshot can grab the Enigma, the ground crumbles beneath Skytread and plunges both him and the Enigma into the sea.

The incredulous medic points out that such a phenomenon is completely impossible, despite Provoke's attempts to convince him otherwise... and when Flatline demands that Ruckus submit to a full medical examination, "Provoke" finally drops the act and unleashes a black torrent of [[spark]] energy—Provoke is really [[Exarchon]], who has finally returned!
