			*Grimlock's unmasked face features darker panelled sections on either side. This is a reference to how the "[[Aligned continuity family\|Aligned continuity]]" [[Grimlock (WFC)\|Grimlock]] appeared unmasked in ''[[Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots]]'' [[Rage of the Dinobots issue 4\|issue 4]], where Grimlock features similar exposed parts of his face under his mask as scars from [[Shockwave (WFC)\|Shockwave]]'s experiments. Though in that comic, the exposed parts were wires, not panels.

Synopsis

Line 22:		Line 22:
	In the desert region, [[Scorponok (Cyberworld)\|Scorponok]] still guards the crashed Autobot Shuttle, as [[Elita-1 (Cyberworld)\|Elita-1]], [[Bumblebee (Cyberworld)\|Bumblebee]], [[Grimlock (Cyberworld)\|Grimlock]] and [[Optimus Prime (Cyberworld)\|Optimus Prime]] discuss tactics over radio. Neither Elita or Bee are happy to be in the desert, but Optimus tries to keep them on task. He and Grimlock will distract the humongous bot head on, while Elita and Bee aim for his weak spots. Scorponok proves impervious to their blaster fire, deploying his own shoulder mounted cannons to force the group together, whereupon he uses the same "dig underground and erupt" move he tried on Optimus Prime in their first encounter. Grimlock is caught up, but Prime rescues him with his axe. Bumblebee manages to jump onto his back, out of reach of his claws and sword-tail, where he finds a weak spot under a grille. He takes potshots at it, paining the giant robot, but his success is short lived, as Scorponok simply transforms to an equally humongous robot mode, plucks Bee of his back, and dives fist first, Bee included, into the ground, leaving the smaller bot unable to move. Elita is thrown onto his head and finds another weak spot, bashing at it with the butt of her gun, but is also thrown off into the desert sands. With Bee weakened, Scorponok goes to use his buzzsaw claw, forcing Elita and Grimlock to pry it off his chest while Optimus aims for the weak spots. It's no use, though - Optimus cannot do enough damage while Bumblebee is losing a lot of energon to the attack. In the end, Prime goes to Bee's aid, helping lift the claw before it can do fatal damage to Bee. Dangerously low on health, one of their group unable to fight any longer, Prime calls to retreat.

	Grimlock throws his ''T.rex'' head, ~~transforming~~ into a hoverbike for Elita-1 to get Bumblebee out of there, and while they make it to safety, Optimus Prime and Grimlock struggle to outrun Scorponok. It looks like they're goners, until [[Snarl (Cyberworld)\|Snarl]] runs in, forcing Scorponok to pause with an energy wave from his sword, and the group make it riding atop Grimlock. Grimlock chews Prime out for wasting their chance to take out Scorponok and escape just to save Bumblebee. Now, in his eyes, the truce with [[Megatron (Cyberworld)\|Megatron]] was sacrificed for nothing, and he and Snarl have been pointlessly forced back into the cruel cycle of fighting to survive. The two debate over Prime's leadership style, and in the end, Grimlock says he gave Optimus a chance, and he blew it, before leaving with Snarl.
