Orion is more worried by Bumblebee's report that [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] is involved with the Rise—and Senator [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]] seems to be abetting him. Chromia informs the yellow 'bot that they suspect [[Frenzy (G1)\|Frenzy]] is the 'bot responsible for [[Brainstorm (G1)\|Brainstorm]]'s murder; Orion confirms this... and then drops the bombshell: that the Rise certainly put out orders to silence the [[Voin]] witness to Brainstorm's murder, [[Quake (G1)\|Quake]] has abruptly disappeared in the days since the attack on the Voin and [[Rubble]]... which means that all evidence points to Quake killing Rubble. Bumblebee shouts that they should've told him something sooner, but Pax reminds him he withheld information for his own safety—what he might do with the information, or what might have been done to ''him'' had 'Bee gone after Quake by himself. The time has now come, Orion announces, to tell Sentinel Prime everything they've learned.

	At one of the remote Rise bases, [[Hyperdrive (Micromaster)\|Hyperdrive]] watches as [[Flamewar (G1)\|Flamewar]] plays a prank on [[Barricade (IDW)\|Barricade]] as Megatron arrives... much to the irritation of Shockwave, who has to put the entire compound on lockdown every time their leader comes and goes. The Ascenticon leader eyes the corpse-strewn bunker with suspicion, but has little time for Shockwave's latest experiments aimed at unlocking the lost technology of the Threefold Spark that built the bunker—instead, Megatron shrugs off Shockwave's protests that the fuel-addicted Risers are growing restless; he cannot afford to lose control of the situation after Soundwave's stunt, and orders Shockwave to bring his two lieutenants to the testing bay. When [[Slipstream (G1)\|Slipstream]] and [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]] arrive, Megatron informs them to watch as he puts his contingency plan in action, to better align the Ascenticons and The Rise... and promptly lays into Shockwave. Megatron's overfuelled state gives him a decisive advantage against his fuel-starved underling as he announces that the Rise is no more: now, there is only ''Megatron''. Shattered by the ferocious attack, Shockwave immediately yields, and both of his lieutenants immediately fall in line with the new order.

	Back in Iacon, Orion Pax and Chromia have presented their findings to Sentinel Prime, who gravely reflects on the news. For the time being, he decides, he will alter the Nominus Edict so that [[Security Operations]] can best capture Shockwave, Sixshot, Frenzy, Barricade, and Quake: law enforcement will enjoy unlimited energon and full access to all of Cybertron's weaponry... and while casualties ''should'' be avoided, the Prime stresses that success ''must'' be prioritized. [[Hound (G1)\|Hound]] and [[Firestar (G1)\|Novastar]] will be deputized to oversee the manhunt.

	Ignoring Orion and Chromia's protests, Sentinel informs them that they'll also need [[Ironhide (G1)\|Ironhide]] on their side to coordinate the arrest and interrogation of Senator Soundwave. One way or another, Sentinel vows, they will end this here and now, no matter ''what'' it takes...

	* The opening lines of Megatron's internal narration—"'''nobody''' sees the same things as anybody else"—echo his conversation with Orion Pax in [[The World In Your Eyes Part One\|issue #1]] of ''Transformers''.		* The opening lines of Megatron's internal narration—"'''nobody''' sees the same things as anybody else"—echo his conversation with Orion Pax in [[The World In Your Eyes Part One\|issue #1]] of ''Transformers''.
	* Megatron was established to have once been a miner in [[Orion Pax: Free Fall\|issue #6]]; that issue mentioned that he had an interest in gladiatorial combat. In that same issue, Megatron mentioned his first bout in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]'s new gladiatorial arena; evidently, as per narration in both this issue and [[Constructicons Rising, Part 2\|issue #2]] of ''[[Transformers: Galaxies\|Galaxies]]'', those plans were kiboshed somewhat quickly, as the gladiatorial matches were declared illegal at some point.		* Megatron was established to have once been a miner in [[Orion Pax: Free Fall\|issue #6]]; that issue mentioned that he had an interest in gladiatorial combat.

	* Megatron's memories of the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] feature our first look at the mysterious [[Exarchon]]... or should we say, Exarchon''s''? The "Threefold Spark" is revealed to be a more literal name than we first thought, with Exarchon apparently sharing one consciousness between at least three bodies and possibly more "iterations". Megatron's narration notes that he was apparently "corrupted" by something or someone while away from Cybertron, though it's not clear if this corruption merely altered his personality or mutated him on a more physical level.		* Megatron's memories of the [[War of the Threefold Spark]] feature our first look at the mysterious [[Exarchon]]... or should we say, Exarchon''s''?

	* Megatron's third flashback is set between the first arc of ''Galaxies'' and the present day; Termagax had yet to found the Ascenticons during her time mentoring the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]], and ''Galaxies'' [[Constructicons Rising, Part 3\|issue #3]] specifically featured her repeatedly clashing with [[Nominus Prime]]'s [[Senate]], which evidently discouraged her enough that she went into her self-imposed exile.		* Megatron's third flashback is set between the first arc of ''Galaxies'' and the present day; Termagax had yet to found the Ascenticons during her time mentoring the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]], and ''Galaxies'' [[Constructicons Rising, Part 3\|issue #3]] specifically featured her repeatedly clashing with [[Nominus Prime]]'s [[Senate]], which evidently discouraged her enough that she went into her self-imposed exile.
