	Ironhide awakes with a start in his quarters on Cybertron, having experienced the same dream as his distant comrade. He refrains from telling [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Optimus Prime]] this as he knows his old friend has much bigger things to worry about today—chiefly, the press conference to formally announce the alliance with Caminus to the Cybertronian populace, which the pair head out to attend alongside [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]] and [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]]. With [[Circuit (G1)\|Circuit]] broadcasting live, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Starscream]] opens the conference by showing off both his new body and [[Superion (G1)\|Superion]], but the Camien representatives quickly make clear that it is Optimus Prime they are looking to for guidance and aid. Biting his tongue, Starscream suggests Circuit and [[Longtooth]] accompany Prime and Windblade to Caminus; there, they are met by the [[Mistress of Flame]], who expresses some concern over Starscream's leadership and Prime's willingness to accept it, thereby essentially denigrating his own title in the Camiens' eyes, which she see as borderline-blasphemy.

	On Caminus, the clean-up operation is under way, with a few Decepticons even pitching in as a show of good faith; Ironhide is a bit condescending to them, making them somewhat grumpy, so they are surprised when the Camiens warmly receive them. Meanwhile, Superion and Optimus Prime discuss the wisdom of trusting Starscream, a talk which segues into Superion struggling to explain to Prime what the sensations of being a combiner are really like. Their conversation is interrupted when Optimus receives a call from a furious Prowl, who has learned through "sources" of what has been going on on Cybertron and is appalled that Prime has allowed combiner and space bridge technology to fall into Starscream's hands. Prowl accuses Prime of once again refusing to take the big picture into account—the danger Starscream poses to the ''entire galaxy'', not just Cybertron—but Prime has no time for his questioning attitude, and brusquely terminates the call. Windblade observes that Prime has made a lie of omission, refraining from telling Prowl anything about the [[Enigma of Combination]]... but Prowl knows all about it already, recognizes Prime's lie, and seething with rage, resolves to deal with the situation himself.

With [[Circuit (G1)\|Circuit]] broadcasting live, [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]] opens the conference by showing off both his new body and [[Superion (G1)\|Superion]], but the Camien representatives quickly make clear that it is Optimus Prime they are looking to for guidance and aid. Biting his tongue, Starscream suggests Circuit and [[Longtooth]] accompany Prime and Windblade to Caminus; there, they are met by the [[Mistress of Flame]], who expresses some concern over Starscream's leadership and Prime's willingness to accept it, thereby essentially denigrating his own title in the Camiens' eyes, which she see as borderline-blasphemy.

	Aboard the ''[[Ark-7]]'', orbiting Earth, [[Prowl (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Prowl]] reveals the [[space bridge]] he and the [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] obtained from [[Onyx]] to a confused [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Jetfire]]. They begin discussing ways to use it, but are interrupted when someone contacts Prowl over his secure comms channel, and the news he receives causes him to storm off in anger.

	On Caminus, the clean-up operation is under way, with a few Decepticons even pitching in as a show of good faith; Ironhide is a bit condescending to them, making them somewhat grumpy, so they are surprised when the Camiens warmly receive them. Meanwhile, Superion and Optimus Prime discuss the wisdom of trusting Starscream, a talk which segues into Superion struggling to explain to Prime what the sensations of being a combiner are really like. Their conversation is interrupted when Optimus receives a call from a furious Prowl, who has learned through "sources" of what has been going on on Cybertron and is appalled that Prime has allowed combiner and space bridge technology to fall into Starscream's hands. Prowl accuses Prime of once again refusing to take the big picture into account—the danger Starscream poses to the ''entire galaxy'', not just Cybertron—but Prime has no time for his questioning attitude, and brusquely terminates the call. Windblade observes that Prime has made a lie of omission, refraining from telling Prowl anything about the [[Enigma of Combination]]... but Prowl knows all about it already, recognizes Prime's lie, and seething with rage, resolves to deal with the situation himself.

	*The connection is not specifically drawn on-page, but like Mirage, this is not the first time that Ironhide has seen a vision either: ~~Originally~~ seen in the [[Pax Cybertronia (issue)\|final issue]] of the 2009-2011 ongoing series, it was first adressed in-story as a vision in [[A Better Tomorrow\|issue #5]] of ''Robots in Disguise''.		*The connection is not specifically drawn on-page, but like Mirage, this is not the first time that Ironhide has seen a vision either: originally seen in the [[Pax Cybertronia (issue)\|final issue]] of the 2009-2011 ongoing series, it was first adressed in-story as a vision in [[A Better Tomorrow\|issue #5]] of ''Robots in Disguise''.

	*In the very same panel, two captions identify Blades and Streetwise, but [[Mainframe (G1)\|Mainframe]] and [[Grotusque]] have been drawn in their places, respecively. Likewise, the subsequent panel, which is specifically supposed to pull in tight on "Streetwise" while pointing out that he is the one who first named the new "team", instead depicts Grotusque. Artist Livio Ramondelli blamed this on the fact he was sent incorrect reference material by IDW; the error continues into the next chapter.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150924071214/http://boards.idwpublishing.com/3/viewtopic.php?p=392115 IDW Publishing forums]</ref> This was corrected for the trade paperback, with new artwork of Streetwise and Blades being added to the relevant panels. Curiously, Streetwise (as well as Hot Spot) ''did'' appear on Cybertron in [[Quest for Fire\|part 3]] of ''[[The Transformers: Punishment\|Punishment]]'' (''also'' drawn by Livio Ramondelli!), which was chronologically set either shortly before or concurrently with this story. Huh.		* In the very same panel, two captions identify Blades and Streetwise, but [[Mainframe (G1)\|Mainframe]] and [[Grotusque]] have been drawn in their places, respecively.
