	*While fleeing from the Sharkticon, Hot Rod manages to forget that he turns into a wheeled vehicle and tried outrunning it on foot, much like how a protagonist from a horror movie tends to make poor decisions.		*While fleeing from the Sharkticon, Hot Rod manages to forget that he turns into a wheeled vehicle and tried outrunning it on foot, much like how a protagonist from a horror movie tends to make poor decisions.
	*The banners seen in the Loop say "Judgement" in Cybertronian script. Meanwhile, the buildings have Cybertronian equivalents of [[Latin language\|Latin]] phrases written on them: "Uno sumus machina" (Uno sumus ~~anima -~~ "We are of one soul"), "Ubi libertas ibi Primus" (Ubi libertas ibi patria - "Where there is ~~liberty~~, there is the homeland"), ~~and~~ "Ultima ratio titan" (Ultima ratio ~~regium -~~ "The ~~final argument~~ of ~~kings~~.")		*The banners seen in the Loop say "Judgement" in Cybertronian script. Meanwhile, the buildings have Cybertronian equivalents of [[Latin language\|Latin]] phrases written on them:
			**''Uno sumus machina'' comes from ''{{w\|List of Latin phrases (U)\|Uno sumus animo}}'', which means "We are of one soul". The Cybertronian version thus means "We are of one machine".
			**''Ubi libertas ibi Primus'' comes from ''{{w\|List of Latin phrases (U)\|Ubi libertas ibi patria}}'', which means "Where liberty is, there the homeland is". The Cybertronian version thus means "Where Primus is, there the homeland is", which goes against the original Latin's meaning of "freedom".
			**''Ultima ratio titan'' comes from ''{{w\|List of Latin phrases (U)\|Ultima ratio}}'', which means "The last resort". The Cybertronian version thus means "The Last resort of the titan", although "titan" is grammatically incorrect in the Latin phrase. It should be either ''Ultima ratio titanos'' or ''Ultima ratio titanis''.

	Drawing the Sharkticon's attention to him, Hot Rod stands waiting for them to get near... only for Clobber to misunderstand his instructions and cheerfully knock down the wrong derelict building, one that is nowhere near Hot Rod's intended targets. The Sharkticon pursues Hot Rod until he is cornered, but as it advances, a building falls on it and its minions. Clobber has finally gotten the idea of the plan. Reconnoitring, the two take stock of their luck and an eyesore on the [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] skyline, a giant ship which is the source of the mysterious vine-like wires spread across Cybertron.

	Stopping outside their "home" to make sure they ~~were not~~ followed, Hot Rod and Clobber are greeted by the still-blind [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)\|Perceptor]], who deduces their trip was unsuccessful thanks to his hearing still working perfectly fine. Hot Rod reports that he hacked into the Loop but ~~could not~~ break any of their allies out. Perceptor notes the Autobots have no idea they are being made to watch the same parade over and over. As for the worse news, he summons up a scan of Clobber, noting that her spark reads as perfectly healthy and normal yet was greatly diminished when Hot Rod rescued her. It is as if something was feeding off it, and Perceptor believes this is the same for everyone in the Loop. If they ~~do not~~ free everyone soon, they will never wake up. Hot Rod vows they will get everyone out, and end the [[Quintesson]] invasion.

	In the gloom of a darkened and empty [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)\|Hot Rod]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)\|Clobber]] race through abandoned streets, until they come to a mesh of strange, ominously glowing wires. Rigging up an interface with a [[cortical psychic patch]], Hot Rod tells Clobber to keep an eye out while he goes in...		In the gloom of a darkened and empty [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)\|Hot Rod]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)\|Clobber]] race through abandoned streets, until they come to a mesh of strange, ominously glowing wires. Rigging up an interface with a [[cortical psychic patch]], Hot Rod tells Clobber to keep an eye out while he goes in...

	''It's a beautiful, sunlit day on Cybertron, and all is fun and celebrations at the Parade of Metals. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)\|Bumblebee]] eagerly rushes through the crowd, not wanting to miss a moment. He bumps into [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)\|Grimlock]], asking if the Dinobot has seen [[Windblade (Cyberverse)\|Windblade]]. Grimlock directs him to across the street, where Windblade is talking with [[Chromia (Cyberverse)\|Chromia]]. Bumblebee's attempts to get to his friend are stymied by the parade, so Bumblebee tells her he will catch her in a bit. Behind him, Hot Rod appears, trying to reach out to Bumblebee, but his efforts are thwarted by an oblivious parade-goer. By the time Hot Rod has shoved him out of the way, Bumblebee is gone. When he catches up to him, Hot Rod says they need to talk, but Bumblebee tells him to wait until after the parade. As they watch, one of the floats malfunctions, and a cube of metal comes lose, crushing [[Whirl (Cyberverse)\|Whirl]]. Hot Rod entreaties to Bumblebee again, telling him he ''needs'' to come with him and must transform because nothing he is experiencing is real. Unfortunately, Bumblebee agrees. The parade is ''un''real. Then he catches sight of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)\|Optimus Prime]], grand marshal of the parade. Hot Rod presses further, and Bumblebee starts to remember. Then three jets pass over head, the world turns white... and the parade starts all over again. Hot Rod sighs at almost having gotten through to Bumblebee that time, as the oblivious scout walks past him, repeating his conversation with Grimlock.''

	Hot Rod signs out, and returns to the real Cybertron, dejected. Clobber asks if his plan worked, noting he was in the simulation for a long time. Hot Rod laments that he was there for fifty-seven loops, wondering why it was so much easier to break Clobber out than his friends. Even Clobber is not certain, merely recounting that Hot Rod told her to transform, so she did. The Autobot mutters about his luck, with Clobber oblivious to his sarcasm. He asks her if she remembers what happened when she woke up, but all Clobber can remember is being at the Parade of Metals, being happy, then transforming and waking up, finding herself face-to-face with something awful, scary even. Like, for example, the hovering, five-eyed tentacled head that has just snuck up on the two of them.		Hot Rod signs out, and returns to the real Cybertron, dejected.
