	Jazz reflects on his first trip to Earth, sent by Optimus Prime as an advance scout on a mission of infiltration; on the escalation that followed as he called in the other Autobots; and on the devastation that resulted as the [[Decepticon]]s unleashed their fury upon the planet. Lost in thought, he does not notice the noise of battle outside until Spike brings it to his attention by cautioning him that it is not his problem. But as far as Jazz is concerned, it's ''absolutely'' his problem; he is responsible both for bringing the Autobots to Earth in the first place, and for the colonists being here, now, trying to rescue him. Revealing that he was only a prisoner because he allowed himself to be one, Jazz stands, easily snaps his chains, and smashes his way through the door outside, determined to stop the fighting.

	''[[Gimlet]] thinks back on his life on [[Jungle Planet (colony)\|Eukaris]], a world founded as a haven for beastformers by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity#Onyx Prime\|a Prime]] who worked to have his kind accepted by other Transformers. It was in the spirit of that noble goal that Gimlet and his friend [[Bump]] volunteered to join Optimus Prime and help bring peace to another organic world, Earth.''

It was in the spirit of that noble goal that Gimlet and his friend [[Bump (BW)\|Bump]] volunteered to join Optimus Prime and help bring peace to another organic world, Earth.''

	Frustrated at being repeatedly shot by Mainframe, Gimlet crushes the [[VAMP]] he is driving. Too late, Gimlet realizes that in doing so, he has grievously wounded Mainframe himself—but that realization only lasts a moment before Slug, driven to a berserker fury by the young colonist's act, cleaves Gimlet in two with his sword, killing him. Lying in Hi-Tech's arms, Mainframe recalls how he blamed all Cybertronians for the destruction they brought to Earth, and how he learned the error of his ways upon getting to know some of them personally, realizing they were all individuals, just like humans. It is with this thought in his mind that Mainframe dies, using his last words to urge Hi-Tech not to let the entire Earth/Cybertron alliance fall apart because of what has happened.

	In [[Little Cybertron]] on [[Marshall Islands\|Bikini Atoll]], [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Rum-Maj]] eavesdrop on Marissa's phonecall to Thundercracker. Rum-Maj reflects that cyclical violence seems to be the way of Cybertronians, worsening now as the enormity of the threat of [[Unicron]] hastens everything on the way to its end. Neither of the two want to see another world they've come to call home die, but Wreck-Gar has no idea how to prevent it.
