The Rodpod was shot down and Skids carried the wounded Nautica from its wreckage, everyone making their way inside the Necrobot's fortress. They found the Necrobot had been murdered and Skids spared a moment of empathy for Nightbeat, who had forged a bond with the ancient Transformer.

	The DJD made their presence known by attacking the Necrobot's fortress before retreating... promising to return at sunset as part of their intimidation tactics. Skids weighed up their options with the other stranded crew members, suggesting that they dig in and devise an escape route. The Necrobot's body had revealed a key that unlocked a room filled with at least sixty organic creatures inside strange pods. Discussion arose whether to flee, or stay and defend the people inside the pods, but the Autobots ultimately decided to stand their ground. {{storylink\|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight\|The Sun in Flight}} Their forces were bolstered by the returning Drift and Ratchet, who had caught wind of their predicament through [[Velocity (G1)\|Velocity]].

	With death staring them in the face, Skids was one of the Autobots who Nautica assembled for the rite of [[Amica Endura]]. She opened her spark to them, recited the ritual, and told them all how they were valued. When Rung departed with Nightbeat to investigate the mystery of the Necroworld, Skids bade him a terse and awkward farewell. {{storylink\|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day\|At Close of Day}}		With death staring them in the face, Skids was one of the Autobots who Nautica assembled for the rite of [[Amica Endura]].

	Shortly afterwards, Velocity hit on a potential way out: Tailgate's spark 'explosion', triggered by extreme trauma, had supercharged two security guards ala [[Ore-13]] and that could be done now! All it required was, er, someone willing to be traumatised. Skids offered himself up and pleaded with Chromedome to finally let him know about his deep, hidden trauma. His sad friend brought back all the memories of Grindcore and Skids' spark erupted. As his supercharged friends fought through the Decepticons, Ratchet worked to keep him stable as his spark shrank.

	Unfortunately, Skids came to and crawled off his slab, desperate to find Brainstorm and apologise for Quark's death, feebly crying that he was "scum" for what he'd done. Ratchet was desperate to get him back on the slab before he died but Megatron, the only other person in the fort, had left to join the battle and there was nobody to help. Skids died in Ratchet's arms, only Brainstorm noticing as his friend's 'statue' winked out.
