They leave a furious Grimlock to continue on their mission.		The other [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seekers]] draw their weapons but are stopped by Starscream, who tells Grimlock (under protest by [[Skywarp (G1)\|Skywarp]]) where his squadron's target is, and invites Grimlock to [[Protihex\|Sector Zero-Six]], suggesting that Grimlock give into his dark urges to conquer and destroy. They leave a furious Grimlock to continue on their mission.

	In a flashback, Grimlock (still a Decepticon at this time) prepares for a gladiatorial match with [[Maul]] while being pestered by Starscream. Starscream tells Grimlock that "some" say that he doesn't have the killer instinct and this information has reached Megatron. Grimlock grabs Starscream by the throat, causing him to backpedal and say that the opinion is not his own, but "others". Grimlock releases him and leaves for the match as Starscream pays a bribe to [[Emirate]] [[Xeon]].

	In the match, poor Maul is quite outmatched and soon has his head cracked open by Grimlock's massive fist and his chest sliced open by his [[Energo weapon\|energo-sword]].

	*The first four pages of this story were previously released in the ''[[DW Preview Special 2002]]''. While the colorist, Matt Kuphaldt, was properly credited in that publication, this printing only says, "Colors by Dreamwave." Enigmatically, it also says, "Special thanks to Rob Ruffolo, Matt Kuphaldt, and Dreamer Design," which seems to imply that Ruffolo colored the new pages (as it is known that Kuphaldt did not, and Dreamer Design is a typography studio).		*The first four pages of this story were previously released in the ''[[DW Preview Special 2002]]''.
