Underneath [[Swindle's\|his casino]], Swindle leads his new crew into a hidden bunker concealed under the building, filled with illicit [[Simultronic\|multiworld simulation]] couches. Bumblebee is shocked to see ''Deathsaurus'' in one of them, however; the ambassador has been missing for kilocycles! Swindle explains that after he'd been repaired, Deathsaurus made a deal with Swindle and immersed himself in a virtual world of his own devising. Swindle has no idea what he's doing in there; it must be pleasant, however, as he's never awoken from his dream.
