	Predictably, Bumblebee isn't much pleased by the shakeup, and says as much during his next deployment as part of a search-and-rescue mission to help victims of the recent disaster. With no need to conceal his thinly veiled hatred of Bumblebee, Skytread orders him to check out a nearby storage building, smirking at the prospect of finally getting even with his rival. The moment Bumblebee's out of earshot, however, he puts in a call to [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]] to try and tell her what's happened, only to find that she's apparently busy with her own problems. In the meantime, Bumblebee gets to work; spying a hand amidst the debris, he frantically tries to dig out the stranded Cybertronian—but discovers that it belongs to a 'bot who's already dead. The sight brings back terrible memories for Bumblebee as he collapses onto a nearby rock... unaware of the glowing eyes watching his every move.

	Elsewhere, [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Orion Pax]] watch as [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]] escorts the [[Voin]] asserter through the streets while [[Nautica (G1)\|Nautica]] does her best to try and talk down the alien. Orion tries to keep Sentinel abreast of the crisis, but his news is not heartening: [[Vigilem]] has disappeared, [[Lodestar (Titan)\|Lodestar]] is gravely injured, the other [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]s remain offline, and the [[Winged Moon]] has spun into an unstable orbit. But while the bullish Sentinel wants to arrest Soundwave and break The Rise as hard and fast as possible, Orion advocates restraint: better to focus on rebuilding what they already have while leaving the Ascenticons to a general capable of handling a surgical strike. However, there's only one [[Great General]] available; on hearing [[Pyra Magna]]'s name, Sentinel immediately shuts down his deputy and storms off, shouting that he'll pass the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]], ''not'' Orion, and that he'll expose the Ascenticons as the traitors and liars he knows they are.

	After a long convalescence at [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]'s medical center, [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] cheerfully reports to [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]] that she's finally been cleared for active duty, but stops dead when confronted by the sight of a grim-faced Ratchet tending to the ~~greviously~~ wounded [[Javelin]], and the comatose [[Ruckus (G1)\|Ruckus]] and [[Kaskade]]. Ratchet warns her that this grisly sight is the least of his worries; in her absence, the [[Tether]] has fallen, levelling vast swathes of Iacon with it. Horrified, Windblade takes in the sight from above while [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] and his innermost [[Decepticon\|Ascenticon]]s regard the devastation from a nearby balcony. The Ascenticon leader bitterly muses that he ''never'' wanted things to turn out this way, but the drastic actions of his followers have left him no choice but to continue down this road. Ignoring [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]]'s protests, Megatron orders his followers into action: Jhiaxus will rally his followers in [[Tarn (polity)\|Tarn]], [[Ratbat (G1)\|Ratbat]] will contact the [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette\|Infiltration Trooper]]s under his command, and [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]] will be placed under the protection of the [[Ascenticon Guard]]. Indeed, Megatron has already enlisted some new Guard recruits directly from [[The Rise]], but this extra muscle comes at a cost: the Ascenticon leader decrees that [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita-1]] has outlived her purpose as the Guard's honest, idealistic figurehead... and makes it clear that [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]] must meet with an "accident" on his next mission.

	Elita is indeed confused and outraged when Soundwave goes over her head to bring in these new recruits, and warns Soundwave that the presence of dangerous 'bots like [[Ion Storm]] and [[Nova Storm (G1)\|Nova Storm]] will undermine the goodwill she's worked to cultivate with the people of Cybertron. Soundwave doesn't care: Elita is relieved of command, confined to quarters, and [[Flywheels\|Skytread]] is installed as the new leader of the Ascenticon Guard.

	Bumblebee doesn't go down easy, holding off Catgut long enough to leap to safety through a crack in the ceiling... but Catgut bounds after him, latches onto his leg, and drags him back down to the ground in time for Treadshot to charge his chest cannon and unleash a blast so powerful that it blows Bumblebee straight through the nearest wall. Treadshot moves in for the kill, but is taken aback by another high-powered blaster volley and backs off. The blaster belongs to Chromia, and as she helps Bumblebee up she gives him everything they know: Catgut and Treadshot are confirmed members of [[The Rise]], and Bumblebee realizes that someone wanted him out of the picture. Chromia tries to console him by telling him that he did everything he could, but it's no use to Bumblebee: nothing on Cybertron has improved and [[Rubble]] is still dead.

	Predictably, Bumblebee isn't much pleased by the shakeup, and says as much during his next deployment as part of a search-and-rescue mission to help victims of the recent disaster. With no need to conceal his thinly veiled hatred of Bumblebee, Skytread orders him to check out a nearby storage building, smirking at the prospect of finally getting even with his rival. The moment Bumblebee's out of earshot, however, he puts in a call to [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]] to try and tell her what's happened, only to find that she's apparently busy with her own problems. In the meantime, Bumblebee gets to work; spying a hand amidst the debris, he frantically tries to dig out the stranded Cybertronian—but discovers that it belongs to a 'bot who's already dead. The sight brings back terrible memories for Bumblebee as he collapses onto a nearby rock... unaware of the glowing eyes watching his every move.

But while the bullish Sentinel wants to arrest Soundwave and break The Rise as hard and fast as possible, Orion advocates restraint: better to focus on rebuilding what they already have while leaving the Ascenticons to a general capable of handling a surgical strike.
