	When Kup arrives with the Dynobots, [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Grimlock]] tells Optimus Prime that they're ready to turn themselves in for the deaths they've caused... starting with their old friend, [[Skar (~~Dynobot~~)\|Skar]].

	Optimus Prime arrives at the spaceport, but his arrival only makes the rioters angrier as they see him as a symbol of their hated police state, and his attempts to calm them down are drowned out by their protests. The rioters' rage turns to panic after one of them hurls an object at Prime's head, causing them to fear that the Autobots will retaliate with lethal force, but Prime responds peacefully, assuring the rioters they have the freedom to leave without his interference, all he wants is for them to remain calm throughout the security checks so nobody gets hurt by their outbursts. Dai Atlas commends him for letting his citizens go, but to Prime's dismay he still refuses to stay and help him lead those who remain behind. The two leaders separate on bad terms when Atlas boards his ship to leave Cybertron, with Optimus calling him a hypocrite who is trying to hide from reality while Atlas in turn expresses regret that the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]] chose ''him'' to be [[Prime (rank)\|Prime]].

	When Kup arrives with the Dynobots, [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Grimlock]] tells Optimus Prime that they're ready to turn themselves in for the deaths they've caused... starting with their old friend, [[Skar (Dynobot)\|Skar]].

Prime promises to help rid them of their cursed [[alternate mode\|alt-modes]], only for both of them to be caught in an explosion when Scorponok's [[Decepticon]]s suddenly attack the evacuating transports. When [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Soundwave]] and [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Shockwave]] stride through the spaceport, voicing their disapproval of this inefficient and unnecessary operation, they're met with a vicious monster that rips through their troops like they were paper: it's none other than Grimlock, who has lost control and transformed thanks to the shock of the explosion, and now not even the Autobots can stop his murderous rampage.
