			'''Spike Witwicky gets a proposal.'''

			==Synopsis==
			[[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Spike Witwicky]] lies in a hospital, cared for by a number of nurses who seemingly forgot some part of their clothing... He is visited by a colonel and two [[United Nations]] officials, who have an offer for him, but first want to know how he got into the miserable state he is in. Spike tells them that after the main [[Decepticon]] force was driven off, he became part of a team whose mission was to find any remaining robots, hidden or (partially) incapacitated and deactivate them. After a while, they stumbled across [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ravage]], who very nearly ended his life, but Spike finally made it, though badly hurt.

			The visitors reveal that [[Skywatch]] shall become an international organization with the purpose of protecting earth from alien (read: [[Transformer]]) danger, and they want Spike to be the head of its strike force. He agrees, but is none too happy when he thereafter gets to know that [[Sparkplug Witwicky\|his father]] is overall chief of Skywatch.

			"Yeah, hi guys. It's gonna be a few weeks before I can do autographs. Sorry."
			:—'''Peter Dille''' and '''Spike Witwicky''', who's getting a wee bit full of himself.
