After enjoying speeding through the terrain for a while, the two transformed into robot mode, gave each other one more last fist bump, then transformed back into alt-mode and sped off to parts unknown. {{storylink\|#External links\|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' Collaborative reveal short}}		Wingtail and [[Blue Booster]]'s escape pod left [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] before crash-landing in the Green Hill Zone.
