When Overlord notices him, Chromedome introduces himself, explaining Overlord's predicament and noting that they've actually met once before. With Overlord silent save a request to be killed, Chromedome sets about rummaging through the Decepticon's memories, first visiting one of his bouts with [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] in the gladiatorial pits four million years ago, then jumping forward to a vicious training bout between the two after Overlord had joined the Decepticon faction. One further jump, to three million years ago, takes Chromedome to what he is looking for: the [[Foundry]], the facility where especially powerful Decepticons selected by Megatron were rebuilt into the devastating super-weapons known as the [[Warriors Elite]], from whose ranks the "[[Phase Sixer]]s" would later be drawn. As Chromedome watches, scientist [[Rossum]] details his concerns that the circumstances of Overlord's birth—on Luna 2, rather than Cybertron itself—mean he will reject the infusion of [[ununtrium]] essential to the process, and that if he does survive, he will turn on Megatron. Megatron assures Rossum that Overlord's status as a Point One Percenter will ensure success, while modifications made by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]] will make sure Megatron is safe. Rossum begins the process, which quickly reaches successful completion, climaxing with Overlord smashing out his capsule and crushing Rossum's head.
