	On the [[Monsterbot (G1)\|Monsterbot]]s' shuttle, 60,000 feet above northern [[Nebraska]], the Monsterbots are waiting for [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Grimlock]] to give them what he promised them, for which they had to travel to [[Earth]] and participate in the battle in [[Fallon]] to save the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]].

	At the Machination headquarters, Hot Rod tries to boost his internal comm system to the right audio reception so that he can get a strong enough signal for someone to answer his call for reinforcements. He manages to get the comm to work, but it shocks him badly. Despite this, he sends out a message galaxy-wide to any [[Autobot]] listening in the vicinity. Inside the headquarters, Sunstreaker manages to find to his original head, but as he opens a large door, he is blasted point-blank in the chest by Scorponok. Scorponok advances towards Sunstreaker to go for the kill, but notices that [[Hunter O'Nion]] is gone. Scorponok is enraged, but before he can find Hunter, [[Drake (G1)\|Drake]] calls to warn about an approaching Cybertronian vessel, closing in fast. Scorponok mobilizes the headquarters' defenses, as Hot Rod hopes that it's not another epic/heroic tilt.

	Inside the Monsterbots' vessel, the Dynobots don't see the point of fighting Scorponok, but Grimlock says that Scorponok made it ''their'' fight when he turned the Dynobots against him. Snarl disagrees, saying that it has always been Grimlock's fight, that he and the other Dynobots went along with him, and that it's now Grimlock's wounded pride at stake. Snarl asks Grimlock, "Does getting even matter so much, you're willing to take us ''all'' down with you?" Inside the cockpit, the Monsterbots target the defenses and blast away at them. Grimlock exits the ship, saying that there's no way he can let this go. With or without the Dynobots, there will be a reckoning for Scorponok. The Dynobots decide that arguing is pointless and follow Grimlock. Scorponok orders that the neural clamps be activated, but the technician says that the implants aren't responding. Scorponok decides to settle the matter... ''personally''.

Hot Rod, upset over Sunstreaker's arrogance, decides to call for reinforcements while Sunstreaker stomps into the facility. He has had enough, and is determined to get his real head. But [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Scorponok]] is watching!

	On the [[Monsterbot]]s' shuttle, 60,000 feet above northern [[Nebraska]], the Monsterbots are waiting for [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Grimlock]] to give them what he promised them, for which they had to travel to [[Earth]] and participate in the battle in [[Fallon]] to save the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]]. Grimlock says they'll get what they want, but not yet. This upsets [[Repugnus (G1)\|Repugnus]], who says that he's willing to trust Grimlock, but that [[Doublecross]] and [[Grotusque]] are more likely to rip Grimlock's head off. Grimlock says their prize is nearly all the technology that was in Shockwave's onboard data-cache [[Spotlight: Shockwave\|before the Dynobots blew his ship up]]. Repugnus believes that the data is encoded and Grimlock confirms this, but is upset that they need someone to ''de''-code it and find out more about Shockwave's time on Earth, and how the Earth once had a stratospherically high level of [[energon]].

	Outside the cockpit, the Dynobots wonder what the conversation's about. [[Swoop (G1)\|Swoop]] doesn't care, but doesn't like it anyway. [[Snarl (G1)\|Snarl]] believes it's another sign of just how ''far'' the Dynobots have fallen. Based on Repugnus's comments during the battle at Fallon, Snarl thinks that the Dynobots' original operation—all that time ago—wasn't officially sanctioned, as they were told by Grimlock. The Dynobots wish that they could return to the simple days of bustin' [[Decepticon]]s, but have a bad feeling that there's no going back. Grimlock leaves the cockpit, announcing that he managed to extend their alliance with the Monsterbots. They plan to rebuild the ''[[Skyfire (ship)\|Skyfire]]'', so that Grimlock can get even with Scorponok. However, he ends up getting a stern look from the Dynobots.
