	* In addition to the aforementioned Shockwave homage, Robby's comic also takes heavy inspiration from the [https://comicbookinvest.com/2015/03/20/uncanny-x-men-141/ oft-homaged] cover to [[wikia:Marvel:Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 141\|''Uncanny X-Men'' #141]], which features a similar "wanted poster" of multiple deceased or captured [[X-Men]].		* In addition to the aforementioned Shockwave homage, Robby's comic also takes heavy inspiration from the [https://comicbookinvest.com/2015/03/20/uncanny-x-men-141/ oft-homaged] cover to [[wikia:Marvel:Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 141\|''Uncanny X-Men'' #141]], which features a similar "wanted poster" of multiple deceased or captured [[X-Men]]. The poster takes the place of the text reading “Are all dead” burned onto the wall on the original cover, presumably because the original cover with the writing was unable to get pass the network censors.

	[[Bumblebee (ES)\|Bumblebee]] and [[Breakdown (ES)\|Breakdown]] fire fruitlessly at the [[Chaos Dome]] enclosing [[Terratronus]], but are unable to breach it. Bumblebee regrets that he can't free his friend — getting [[Robby Malto\|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto\|Mo]] to bring down the dome would free all of the Decepticons after all.

[[Bumblebee (ES)\|Bumblebee]] and [[Breakdown (ES)\|Breakdown]] fire fruitlessly at the [[Chaos Dome]] enclosing [[Terratronus]], but are unable to breach it. Bumblebee regrets that he can't free his friend — getting [[Robby Malto\|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto\|Mo]] to bring down the dome would free all of the Decepticons after all. Promising to try again tomorrow, Bee drives off.

	At the Malto farm, Robby, Mo, [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)\|Thrash]] are reading Transformers comics. Robby discovers he's missing the vital last issue in the series due to being busy saving the world at the time, and the issue is now sold out. As Robby and Twitch head off to find something else to do, Bumblebee rolls up and Mo fills him in on the problem. She suddenly has an idea — the comic shop inside the dome must have the issue Robby is after and she can get them into the dome to get it. Sensing an opportunity to free Breakdown, Bee is all for this idea.

Robby discovers he's missing the vital last issue in the series due to being busy saving the world at the time, and the issue is now sold out. As Robby and Twitch head off to find something else to do, Bumblebee rolls up and Mo fills him in on the problem. She suddenly has an idea — the comic shop inside the dome must have the issue Robby is after and she can get them into the dome to get it. Sensing an opportunity to free Breakdown, Bee is all for this idea.

	The trio arrive at a remote part of the Chaos Dome where Mo uses her [[cyber-sleeve]] to create an opening so they can head inside. Within, they discover some of the hazards — red lightning coming from the sky and [[Skywarp (ES)\|Skywarp]] and [[Nova Storm (ES)\|Nova Storm]] making futile attempts to escape the dome. They stop to admire Terratronus and also [[Starscream (ES)\|Starscream]], still trapped inside her noggin. Bee touches Terratronus and absorbs a charge of chaos energy, flinging him back and causing his blaster to fire wildly, which inevitably attracts Decepticon attention. [[Soundwave (ES)\|Soundwave]] and Breakdown quickly arrive, with the latter expressing disappointment that Bee knows how to get in but didn't tell him. Bee manages to talk Breakdown around while the pair duel, and Breakdown cooperates with taking down Soundwave and the cassettes, allowing the trio to escape.
