He sets the controls...

	Next, Dicet arrives on [[Earth]] aboard the Ark in the year [[1984]]. He sees [[Huffer (G1)\|Huffer]] and [[Ironhide (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ironhide]] arguing about [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] being forced to give the fuel conversion formula to the Decepticons. Sparkplug and his son [[Buster Witwicky (G1)\|Buster]] try to sneak away but are blocked by [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Jazz]]'s flame-thrower. Sparkplug suffers a heart attack and is rushed to hospital by [[Ratchet (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ratchet]]. Huffer then tells Optimus Prime about a group of Autobots called the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]], but Dicet isn't too interested. Then the Decepticons attack and defeat the Autobots. However, Sparkplug had tricked the Decepticons and poisoned the fuel. The Autobots rise in victory but are suddenly blasted down by the newly arrived [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Shockwave]]!

	Dicet's third arrival is at the edge of a swamp a few months later. He recalls how Shockwave took control of the Decepticons and stole the head of Optimus Prime to use the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Creation Matrix]] to create new Decepticons. However, Ratchet revived the Dinobots, defeated Megatron and freed the Autobots. Shockwave plans to destroy the Autobots with a fake Prime head controlling his body. But Prime had transferred the Creation Matrix to Buster Witwicky who used it to take control of [[Jetfire (G1)\|Jetfire]] and return the original head. Prime defeats Shockwave.

	Dicet has now arrived to see the climax of Optimus Prime and Megatron's personal fight. After reaching deadlock in the real world, they had agreed to fight inside [[Multi-World\|a computer game]].

He sees [[Huffer (G1)\|Huffer]] and [[Ironhide (G1)\|Ironhide]] arguing about [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] being forced to give the fuel conversion formula to the Decepticons. Sparkplug and his son [[Buster Witwicky (G1)\|Buster]] try to sneak away but are blocked by [[Jazz (G1)\|Jazz]]'s flame-thrower. Sparkplug suffers a heart attack and is rushed to hospital by [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]]. Huffer then tells Optimus Prime about a group of Autobots called the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]], but Dicet isn't too interested. Then the Decepticons attack and defeat the Autobots. However, Sparkplug had tricked the Decepticons and poisoned the fuel. The Autobots rise in victory but are suddenly blasted down by the newly arrived [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]]!

	Dicet's third arrival is at the edge of a swamp a few months later. He recalls how Shockwave took control of the Decepticons and stole the head of Optimus Prime to use the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Creation Matrix]] to create new Decepticons. However, Ratchet revived the Dinobots, defeated Megatron and freed the Autobots. Shockwave plans to destroy the Autobots with a fake Prime head controlling his body. But Prime had transferred the Creation Matrix to Buster Witwicky who used it to take control of [[Jetfire (G1)\|Jetfire]] and return the original head. Prime defeats Shockwave.

	Dicet has now arrived to see the climax of Optimus Prime and Megatron's personal fight. After reaching deadlock in the real world, they had agreed to fight inside [[Multi-World\|a computer game]]. Prime won but, as he had caused the deaths of inhabitants of the computer world in the process, he argues that he had compromised his principles and thus has lost. [[Ethan Zachary]] reluctantly follows Prime's order and destroys him. However, Dicet knows that Zachary has preserved Prime's personality on a computer floppy disc.

	Dicet next travels to [[Mount Verona]] where Galvatron is trying to tap the volcano's energy and transform himself into a god. With the future Autobots [[Hot Rod ~~(G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity\|Rodimus Prime]], [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)\|Blurr]], along with their ally [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] and the bounty-hunter [[Death's Head (G1)\|Death's Head]] having all been returned to the future and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]] seemingly thrown into the lava, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Goldbug]] stands between Galvatron and victory. Dicet peers inside the volcano to see Ultra Magnus slowly climbing up. But the heat makes Dicet dizzy and he falls forward and lands on Ultra Magnus's head. Magnus peers upwards in surprise. Dicet panics and jumps out. He wonders if he's made Magnus let go in surprise and altered history as Magnus is supposed to sacrifice himself to destroy Galvatron's machines.

Dicet watches as the last surviving Autobots are pinned down in the control room and Prime declares his intent to prevent Megatron by winning by plotting a collision course with Earth. He sets the controls...

	Next, Dicet arrives on [[Earth]] aboard the Ark in the year [[1984]]. He sees [[Huffer (G1)\|Huffer]] and [[Ironhide (G1)\|Ironhide]] arguing about [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] being forced to give the fuel conversion formula to the Decepticons. Sparkplug and his son [[Buster Witwicky (G1)\|Buster]] try to sneak away but are blocked by [[Jazz (G1)\|Jazz]]'s flame-thrower. Sparkplug suffers a heart attack and is rushed to hospital by [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]]. Huffer then tells Optimus Prime about a group of Autobots called the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]], but Dicet isn't too interested. Then the Decepticons attack and defeat the Autobots. However, Sparkplug had tricked the Decepticons and poisoned the fuel. The Autobots rise in victory but are suddenly blasted down by the newly arrived [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]]!

	Dicet's third arrival is at the edge of a swamp a few months later. He recalls how Shockwave took control of the Decepticons and stole the head of Optimus Prime to use the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Creation Matrix]] to create new Decepticons. However, Ratchet revived the Dinobots, defeated Megatron and freed the Autobots. Shockwave plans to destroy the Autobots with a fake Prime head controlling his body. But Prime had transferred the Creation Matrix to Buster Witwicky who used it to take control of [[Jetfire (G1)\|Jetfire]] and return the original head. Prime defeats Shockwave.

	Dicet has now arrived to see the climax of Optimus Prime and Megatron's personal fight. After reaching deadlock in the real world, they had agreed to fight inside [[Multi-World\|a computer game]]. Prime won but, as he had caused the deaths of inhabitants of the computer world in the process, he argues that he had compromised his principles and thus has lost. [[Ethan Zachary]] reluctantly follows Prime's order and destroys him. However, Dicet knows that Zachary has preserved Prime's personality on a computer floppy disc.

	Dicet next travels to [[Mount Verona]] where Galvatron is trying to tap the volcano's energy and transform himself into a god. With the future Autobots [[Hot Rod ~~(G1)~~/Marvel Comics continuity\|Rodimus Prime]], [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)\|Blurr]], along with their ally [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] and the bounty-hunter [[Death's Head (G1)\|Death's Head]] having all been returned to the future and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]] seemingly thrown into the lava, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Goldbug]] stands between Galvatron and victory. Dicet peers inside the volcano to see Ultra Magnus slowly climbing up. But the heat makes Dicet dizzy and he falls forward and lands on Ultra Magnus's head. Magnus peers upwards in surprise. Dicet panics and jumps out. He wonders if he's made Magnus let go in surprise and altered history as Magnus is supposed to sacrifice himself to destroy Galvatron's machines.

	The seventh landing is on [[Nebulos]]. Dicet briefly recounts the creation of the [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster]]s, but has come to witness the creation of the [[Powermaster]]s. Several Autobots have come to Nebulos to restore Optimus Prime to life. They succeed and Prime and his [[Nebulan]] companion [[Hi-Q\|HiQ]] go into action, taking down [[Dreadwind (G1)\|Dreadwind]] and [[Darkwing (G1)\|Darkwing]].		The seventh landing is on [[Nebulos]].
