	The group weighed up their options; Krok being of the opinion that it didn't really matter, since any of them might be in the crosshairs of the DJD, so the group decided to make their stand by using some of their salvaged energon, laced with [[circuit speeder]]s, to shock Grimlock back to consciousness so that the Autobot powerhouse could give them an edge.

	After some careless navigation steered the ''Weak Anthropic Principle'' into a crash-landing on [[Tebris VII]], the Scavengers received an offer from [[Demus]], an ex-Decepticon tradesman who had set up a lucrative scrap metal dealership on the planet. Believing that he wanted to give them jobs, the Scavengers decided to pay a visit... only to learn that he wasn't interested in their employment. What Demus wanted was Grimlock, and the merchant was willing to pay half a billion [[Shanix]] ''to each of them'' to have him.

	The Scavengers were divided on Demus's offer: Krok, Crankcase, and Spinister were in favor of taking it, while Fulcrum and Misfire refused to sell off the Dinobot for a quick buck. Their deliberations were interrupted by the sudden arrival of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Fortress Maximus]], the new Duly Appointed Enforcer of the [[Tyrest Accord]], who shot Demus dead in front of them and placed them all under arrest. {{storylink\|Some Of My Best Friends Are Autobots}}		The Scavengers were divided on Demus's offer: Krok, Crankcase, and Spinister were in favor of taking it, while Fulcrum and Misfire refused to sell off the Dinobot for a quick buck.

	With the odds against him (and absolutely refusing to allow the Magnificence to steal his thunder), Scorponok revealed the [[Firstborn]] to the Scavengers, a [[spark]] powered organic that would mark the rebirth of the Decepticons, a new order Scorponok offered the Scavengers a place in... if they killed Grimlock. As one however, the Scavengers rejected the offer. They loved being Decepticons but were glad the war was over and had no desire to see it return.

	The group weighed up their options; Krok being of the opinion that it didn't really matter, since any of them might be in the crosshairs of the DJD, so the group decided to make their stand by using some of their salvaged energon, laced with [[circuit speeder]]s, to shock Grimlock back to consciousness so that the Autobot powerhouse could give them an edge. Luring the DJD members into an ambush, the Scavengers waited until the DJD had landed their ship and moved towards Grimlock's stasis pod, at which point Krok sprang the trap and sicced the Dinobot on their attackers. The gambit quicky went south when Grimlock ran out of steam, and after overpowering him the DJD turned their attentions to the rest of the Scavengers—a brief, one-sided fight that saw Flywheels get shoved face-first into [[Tesarus (~~DJD~~)\|Tesarus]]'s deadly chest cavity. Fulcrum unsuccessfully attempted to use his kamikaze alternate mode to annihilate the Decepticon Justice Division, and when he didn't detonate the DJD assumed that he was dead. Announcing that Grimlock and the other Scavengers were now on the list for abetting him, they left to take care of a [[Overlord (G1)\|higher-profile target]] after receiving an [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|anonymous tip]].

	Though Fulcrum revealed the reason why he had been put on The List in the first place, the group was more preoccupied with Grimlock, whose brain-damaged condition was now evident. The group gathered up a damaged Krok so that their leader could be repaired; the Decepticons decided to strike out for Cybertron, and, at Misfire's insistence, brought Grimlock along with them so that they could use him as a bargaining chip against the Autobots. Before leaving Clemency, they scavenged what they could from Flywheels, whose passing was recorded some eighteen months later by the supernatural [[Mortilus\|Necrobot]]. {{storylink\|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?\|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}}		Though Fulcrum revealed the reason why he had been put on The List in the first place, the group was more preoccupied with Grimlock, whose brain-damaged condition was now evident.

	After some careless navigation steered the ''Weak Anthropic Principle'' into a crash-landing on [[Tebris VII]], the Scavnegers received an offer ~~from~~ from [[Demus]], an ex-Decepticon tradesman who had set up a lucrative scrap metal dealership on the planet. Believing that he wanted to give them jobs, the Scavengers decided to pay a visit... only to learn that he wasn't interested in their employment.

	The Scavengers were divided on Demus's offer: Krok, Crankcase, and Spinister were in favor of taking it, while Fulcrum and Misfire refused to sell off the Dinobot for a quick buck.
