 Lyzack meets up with the other members of the [[Breastforce]]: [[Deathcobra (G1)|Deathcobra]], [[Jallguar]], [[Killbison]], and [[Drillhorn (G1)|Drillhorn]], and together they escape Durlamax—without Leozack, who has succumbed to his injuries. The three [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s—Shrapnel, [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] and [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], also escape. The Autobots learn of what happened at Durlamax, and Ironside takes the blame. And, in [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s army, Knock Out finds a more welcoming home.

	Every night since her brother [[Leozack]]'s disappearance, [[Lyzack (~~Victory~~)\|Lyzack]] has dreamed of a void, in which she finds him. Normally, when she tries to reunite with him, she falls into nothingness, but on this night she collides with him. Elation turns to horror... and when she wakes, she can't remember why.

Normally, when she tries to reunite with him, she falls into nothingness, but on this night she collides with him. Elation turns to horror... and when she wakes, she can't remember why.

	A crowd moving past her quarters draws her outside. She follows them until she sees a large monitor, where the destruction of the Autobot Elite Guard plays out live on the [[ABN\|Autobot Broadcast News]]. She decides that [[Deathsaurus (~~Victory~~)\|Deathsaurus]] probably wants a drink, so fetches a tray and a glass of fine oil. In his throne room, he's watching the news; after gloating to Lyzack, he exits to give a speech to his troops.		A crowd moving past her quarters draws her outside.
