	To avoid being found out, Pharma quickly freed Sonic and Boom and ordered them to kill everyone, only for the two Decepticons to be destroyed by an angry [[Fortress Maximus (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Fortress Maximus]]. Pharma tried to turn the blame on [[Ambulon]], but Ratchet and First Aid quickly worked out the truth. His corruption detected, Pharma shot out a life support machine and escaped though a secret tunnel in a CR chamber in the ensuing chaos, but Ratchet pursued Pharma, and was able to infect him with the virus, prompting him to produce the vaccine he had developed. The two combatants' battle carried them to the building's roof, where Pharma wound up toppling over the edge, clinging on for dear life, unable to use his jet mode to fly to safety without activating the virus within him. Pharma attempted to shoot Ratchet in the back, but was foiled when Drift suddenly appeared and sliced Pharma's hands off, sending him falling to his presumed doom.
