	The next morning, Unicron's [[Maximal]]s began their preliminary assault on Earth, descending over the falls in an attempt to take out Metroplex and the other Cybertronians. While G.I.

	Despite [[Bump]]'s protests, Slide refused to take up arms in the subsequent battle for Earth, unwilling to die in Prime's name until the arrival of the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]]s spurred her into reluctant action. As [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] piloted his [[Worldsweeper]] into Earth's atmosphere, the Colonist Soldiers and Dinobots gave chase aboard Sky Lynx. Pyra Magna and the defeated Torchbearers had already hitched a ride to Earth on the top of the ship, attempting to form [[Victorion]] despite the death of [[Stormclash]]. As Soundwave activated the [[Enigma of Combination]] below, however, its energies combined with [[Superion (G1)\|Superion]]'s copy of the Enigma code. Without thinking, Slide allowed the energies of the Enigma to surround her, her combiner physiology allowing her to form Victorion's new left leg. Together, Victorion and Superion were able to overpower [[Monstructor (G1)\|Monstructor]], with Victorion delivering the final blow.

	After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers. Soundwave wasn't inclined to field their questions and told them to shut up, though Slide cracked wise partway through Soundwave's story about the battle of [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]]. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain\|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}		After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers.

	Slide and the other colonists knelt as Optimus Prime returned to Earth from Cybertron, and later watched on as Optimus and [[Pyra Magna]] had a heated argument about Prime's use of the Matrix. The twins were present on the deck of Metrotitan when Optimus held a summit with several human governments... only to be interrupted when the Junkions unleashed a horde of ravenous [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticon]]s. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows\|Dance Among the Shadows}} The awed colonists watched as Optimus ordered Metrotitan to lay siege to the [[Quintesson Cruiser\|Junkion mothership]], and Oiler and Slide fought to keep the Junkions off the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]'s deck.

	As the battle reached its zenith, Slide attempted to convince Optimus to kill [[Rum-Maj]], the way he had once put down [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]]. Optimus took a different tack: laying down his arms to negotiate a new peace between the races. With the [[President of the United States\|President]]'s blessing, the Junkions relocated to the [[Marshall Islands\|Bikini Atoll]] to start anew. While the other Autobots worked to build a new refugee camp for the aliens, Slide resentfully watched from a distance, confiding in Pyra Magna that she wanted justice for her brother's death. {{storylink\|New Cybertron End: Feel Safe Without Regrets\|Feel Safe Without Regrets}}		As the battle reached its zenith, Slide attempted to convince Optimus to kill [[Rum-Maj]], the way he had once put down [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]].

	Slide's discontent with Optimus and [[human]]ity continued to fester over the coming weeks; by the time that Earth prepared to formally join the [[Council of Worlds]] she remained at Autobot City, still upset with Optimus' recent history of compromise. The ceremony was cut short by [[Joe Colton\|Baron Ironblood]]'s attack on [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], temporarily cutting off Earth from Cybertron. With Optimus Prime and his inner retinue on Cybertron and now missing in action, Aileron took charge over the deteriorating situation despite Slide's objections, and brought Slide and the other colonists with her to search for the missing [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]].

	The team tracked their missing teammate to [[Oaxaca]], where Slide's mounting frustration with the humans boiled over after they ran afoul of more humans wielding reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology. A furious Slide smacked one of her attackers aside, forcing Aileron to airlift her out of the city and retreat to the outskirts of the city. As Aileron tried to regroup her team, Slide laid into Aileron's poor leadership and Prime's sudden apathy to the threat that black market weapons posed—by having Earth join the Council, she reasoned, Cybertronian-derived tech could be traded without violating the [[Tyrest Accord]] and thus the situation was no longer politically useful for Optimus. Her criticisms began influencing the other colonists as they tracked Jazz north, and before long they stumbled on Jazz under siege from human insurgents. {{storylink\|Primeless, Part 1}}		The team tracked their missing teammate to [[Oaxaca]], where Slide's mounting frustration with the humans boiled over after they ran afoul of more humans wielding reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology.

	The next morning, Unicron's [[Maximal]]s began their preliminary assault on Earth, descending over the falls in an attempt to take out Metroplex and the other Cybertronians. While G.I. Joe fought a rearguard action to keep the monstrous Transformers engaged while [[Destro]] used the [[M.A.S.S. Device]] to [[Teleportation\|teleport]] the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]] into Earth's orbit to join forces with Trypticon: a battle designed to keep Unicron occupied while Optimus and a small reserve team attempted to smuggle the [[Talisman (G1)\|Talisman]] into the monster planet's inner workings. {{storylink\|Assembly (Unicron)\|Assembly}}		The next morning, Unicron's [[Maximal]]s began their preliminary assault on Earth, descending over the falls in an attempt to take out Metroplex and the other Cybertronians.

	Despite [[Bump]]'s protests, Slide refused to take up arms in the subsequent battle for Earth, unwilling to die in Prime's name until the arrival of the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]]s spurred her into reluctant action. As [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] piloted his [[Worldsweeper]] into Earth's atmosphere, the Colonist Soldiers and Dinobots gave chase aboard Sky Lynx. Pyra Magna and the defeated Torchbearers had already hitched a ride to Earth on the top of the ship, attempting to form [[Victorion]] despite the death of [[Stormclash]]. As Soundwave activated the [[Enigma of Combination]] below, however, its energies combined with [[Superion (G1)\|Superion]]'s copy of the Enigma code. Without thinking, Slide allowed the energies of the Enigma to surround her, her combiner physiology allowing her to form Victorion's new left leg. Together, Victorion and Superion were able to overpower [[Monstructor (G1)\|Monstructor]], with Victorion delivering the final blow.

	After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers. Soundwave wasn't inclined to field their questions and told them to shut up, though Slide cracked wise partway through Soundwave's story about the battle of [[Junkion (planet)\|Junkion]]. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain\|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}		After Optimus Prime made contact with the [[Junkion (species)\|Junkion]]s, the colonist platoon badgered a recently returned Optimus with questions about the newcomers.

	Slide and the other colonists knelt as Optimus Prime returned to Earth from Cybertron, and later watched on as Optimus and [[Pyra Magna]] had a heated argument about Prime's use of the Matrix. The twins were present on the deck of Metrotitan when Optimus held a summit with several human governments... only to be interrupted when the Junkions unleashed a horde of ravenous [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticon]]s. {{storylink\|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows\|Dance Among the Shadows}} The awed colonists watched as Optimus ordered Metrotitan to lay siege to the [[Quintesson Cruiser\|Junkion mothership]], and Oiler and Slide fought to keep the Junkions off the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]'s deck.

	As the battle reached its zenith, Slide attempted to convince Optimus to kill [[Rum-Maj]], the way he had once put down [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]]. Optimus took a different tack: laying down his arms to negotiate a new peace between the races. With the [[President of the United States\|President]]'s blessing, the Junkions relocated to the [[Marshall Islands\|Bikini Atoll]] to start anew. While the other Autobots worked to build a new refugee camp for the aliens, Slide resentfully watched from a distance, confiding in Pyra Magna that she wanted justice for her brother's death. {{storylink\|New Cybertron End: Feel Safe Without Regrets\|Feel Safe Without Regrets}}		As the battle reached its zenith, Slide attempted to convince Optimus to kill [[Rum-Maj]], the way he had once put down [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]].

	Slide's discontent with Optimus and [[human]]ity continued to fester over the coming weeks; by the time that Earth prepared to formally join the [[Council of Worlds]] she remained at Autobot City, still upset with Optimus' recent history of compromise. The ceremony was cut short by [[Joe Colton\|Baron Ironblood]]'s attack on [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], temporarily cutting off Earth from Cybertron. With Optimus Prime and his inner retinue on Cybertron and now missing in action, Aileron took charge over the deteriorating situation despite Slide's objections, and brought Slide and the other colonists with her to search for the missing [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]].

	The team tracked their missing teammate to [[Oaxaca]], where Slide's mounting frustration with the humans boiled over after they ran afoul of more humans wielding reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology. A furious Slide smacked one of her attackers aside, forcing Aileron to airlift her out of the city and retreat to the outskirts of the city. As Aileron tried to regroup her team, Slide laid into Aileron's poor leadership and Prime's sudden apathy to the threat that black market weapons posed—by having Earth join the Council, she reasoned, Cybertronian-derived tech could be traded without violating the [[Tyrest Accord]] and thus the situation was no longer politically useful for Optimus. Her criticisms began influencing the other colonists as they tracked Jazz north, and before long they stumbled on Jazz under siege from human insurgents. {{storylink\|Primeless, Part 1}}		The team tracked their missing teammate to [[Oaxaca]], where Slide's mounting frustration with the humans boiled over after they ran afoul of more humans wielding reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology.

	Ordered by Aileron to disarm the humans, Slide's recklessness led her to open fire on them, but the humans retreated unharmed.
