	''However, despite the supposed peace between [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and humanity, the Selectors had thoughts of their own. One of them, [[Rung (G1)\|an orange one]], brings his grievances before Megatron—why are the Cybertronians free and independent while the Selectors are stuck under the yoke of humanity? Indeed, he points out that their situation is similar to the Cybertronians' situation with the [[Quintesson]]s from millions of years ago—the Cybertronians decided they deserved self-determination and rebelled against the Quintessons.
