	On Earth, the Autobots hold a funeral for Optimus Prime, and in accordance with Earth customs, they dig a grave and bury what they believe to be his body (but which, unbeknownst to them, is actually a [[facsimile construct]]). [[Blaster (G1)\|Blaster]] whispers to [[Perceptor (G1)\|Perceptor]] that he would rather the body was blasted into space in accordance with Cybertronian tradition, but Perceptor responds that the Autobots who know Prime better have decided that this is what he would have wanted.

	On Cybertron, Optimus Prime lays out the details of the Autobots' next mission. While the [[~~Wrecker~~]]s stage a diversionary attack on a fuel store to draw out the Decepticons' security forces, he and Ultra Magnus will invade [[Polyhex]], so that he can take down Megatron once and for all.

	Inside the [[Polyhex Decepticon stronghold]], Megatron's body sits on a throne, racked by confusion. Memories explode across his mind... first those of Megatron himself, then those of Straxus, and it becomes apparent that the mind-~~transferrence~~ procedure has not worked all the way: thanks to Megatron resisting the process, now, ''both'' Megatron ''and'' Straxus's minds are sharing Megatron's body, fighting for dominance. The strain is almost too much to bear, until Ratbat suddenly appears with news of the Autobots' new attack. While this snaps Megatron/Straxus out of his spiral, Ratbat takes notice of his peculiar behaviour, and is quick to realise what has really happened to his leader.

He will first appear in this role in [[King of the Hill!\|issue #111]] (US issue #27).		* Ratbat's inclusion in this story as a member of Straxus's court is another story point written with knowledge of the upcoming US stories that will depict the fuel auditor as the top 'Con on Cybertron, a position he will now be able to slip into following Straxus's departure. He will first appear in this role in [[King of the Hill!\|issue #111]] (US issue #27).
	* There's a noticeable amount of "putting the toys back in the box" at the end of this story, with the Predacons returning to Cybertron and Megatron losing his memory of their betrayal—necessary moves to get things in line with the next batch of US reprints, which will see ~~Megatron~~ summon the Predacons (back) to Earth for a new mission in [[Gone but Not Forgotten!\|issues #107-108]] (US issue #25).		* There's a noticeable amount of "putting the toys back in the box" at the end of this story, with the Predacons returning to Cybertron and Megatron losing his memory of their betrayal—necessary moves to get things in line with the next batch of US reprints, which will see Shockwave summon the Predacons (back) to Earth for a new mission in [[Gone but Not Forgotten!\|issues #107-108]] (US issue #25).
	* This issue marks the last appearances of Jazz, Brawn, Prowl, Hound, and Ironhide as operational members of the Autobot forces for the next year or so. In US stories, these characters were taken offline in [[Prime Time!\|issue #40]] (US issue #12), but UK stories have continued to present them as fit and functional. This belated phasing-out brings their status in the UK stories into line with US continuity, but is given no in-universe explanation. Most of them will not reappear until [[Totaled!\|issue #174]], when the US stories reintroduce all the various offlined characters. Prowl will be temporarily brought back online in issue #110, before being shown to be active again in [[Spacehikers!\|issue #144]].		* This issue marks the last appearances of Jazz, Brawn, Prowl, Hound, and Ironhide as operational members of the Autobot forces for the next year or so.
