[[Caminus (planet)\|Caminus]] has turned out not to be the resource-rich world [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Starscream]] led him to believe he would be able to pillage, and the local law enforcement, led by [[Afterburner (G2)\|Afterburner]], soon arrives to apprehend him. Unfortunately for them, their [[cityspeaker]]s have not been able to properly translate their [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]'s warning about the [[Enigma of Combination]], and they are unprepared for [[Menasor (G1)\|Menasor]]. Afterburner tries to keep his cool in the face of the [[combiner]], but when he tries to arrest Menasor, the [[Stunticon (G1)\|Stunticon]] giant stomps him to death. Menasor's rage begins to build, but Swindle tries to calm him, and moreover, to avoid any physical harm by reminding it was ''Starscream'', rather than Swindle himself, who promised them all a "big score". With mounting dread, Swindle realizes that Starscream has set them up—though what he does not know is that the addition of hot-tempered secret police officer [[Blackjack]] to the Stunticon ranks was also engineered by Starscream in service of this scheme, to "infect" Menasor with his anger. The ex-'Con tries to get Menasor to separate and retreat, but the combiner's fury is insurmountable, and he turns his anger on Caminus itself.		[[Swindle (G1)\|Swindle]] has been swindled!

	On [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], Starscream is nonchalantly picking a color for his new body when a furious [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] summons him to the [[Space bridge\|spacebridge]] chamber with the news that it has been used. Feigning shock and confusion, Starscream arrives on the scene and orders a squad of his secret police to join [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ironhide]] and the suspicious [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]] in going through the portal to help take Menasor down. The battle does not go well, and when Chromia is seized by Menasor, [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] is forced to traverse the bridge to help; [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] offers to join her, but she insists that he stay on Cybertron until she can explain some pertinent facts about Camien life to him. Windblade arrives just as Chromia frees herself from Menasor's clutches and saves her friend from a nasty fall, then requests Prime have Starscream call in the [[Aerialbot (G1)\|Aerialbots]], who they both know are fully-functional, though Starscream tries to take the moral high ground by briefly denying it. In no time flat, the Aerialbots are through the bridge to Caminus, and combine into [[Superion (G1)\|Superion]] to battle Menasor, displaying greater mental stability and dexterity that allows their combined form to easily best their Stunticon counterparts. When Menasor throws a haymaker, Superion is even able to reconfigure his body ''around'' the Decepticon's giant fist, causing him to fall forward, straight into a point-blank headshot from Superion's gun. Toppled by the shot, Menasor is quickly put down by a few more of Superion's earth-shaking punches. Swindle tries to sneak away in the chaos, but one of the [[Badgeless]] secretly arrests him, remarking that Starscream still has plans for Swindle....
