The first one will appear again in "[[The Burden Hardest to Bear]]", again in different colors.

	Learning that the Decepticons are making new soldiers, Prime realizes they'll need Cybernetic personalities to truly live, and there is only one way to do that. [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]] takes a group of Autobots to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], where Megatron is informed by [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Shockwave]] that he has located [[Vector Sigma]], the megacomputer that gave the [[Transformer]]s life. But they will require the [[Key to Vector Sigma\|circuit key]] to activate it. The Key is in the possession of [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]], and the Decepticons head for [[Alpha Trion's base‎\|his lab]]. After a brief struggle, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Soundwave]] locates the Key and gives it to Megatron.
