Swoop transforms and threatens Bombshell with his energo sword until he removes the cerebro-shells. Bombshell transforms into robot mode and limps away as the Dinobots return to normal. Slag and Sludge resume the fight they were having before the attack, accidentally clobbering Swoop in the head, making him black out. '''(PAGE_58)''' Five minutes later, Swoop wakes up with no memory of Bombshell and the cerebro-shells. Now [[you]]'re the only one who knows what really happened!
