Synopsis
[edit]At the end of a mission, Deadlock allows himself to revel in his role as a Decepticon, blasting the defenseless Override at point-blank range for the fun of it. But though he initially believes he is allowed to rampage until his blood-thirst is sated on the battlefield, he learns otherwise back at Decepticon headquarters. Lockdown informs Deadlock that he's undermined their mission by slaughtering too many Autobots, and must now face disciplinary action. Humiliated after his beating, Deadlock vows to kill Lockdown himself.
Time passes, and Deadlock's Decepticon career takes him and Lockdown across many war-zones in many dimensions alongside their Cloud World comrades.
One day, he finds himself alone on the battlefield, his allies nowhere in sight. Lost, Deadlock wonders aloud if he was caught in a space-time storm. He happens upon a sword, and with it, Go Prime, kneeling in defeat before Grand Scourge... and Lockdown's butchered remains sprawled on the ground. Enraged to have been robbed of his revenge, Deadlock draws his pistols and charges Grand Scourge, only for his opponent to effortlessly block the shots with his blade. As Grand Scourge brings down his blade to cleave Deadlock in twain, Deadlock grabs hold of the nearby sword to defend himself. He manages to block the blade, though is unable to hold onto his own sword when it is struck away. Grand Scourge loses interest immediately however, and goes off to find his real target. Humiliated and beaten once more, Deadlock makes a new vow to hunt down his new opponent.

- The events of Transformers Cloud are alluded to in montage, with Thundercracker, Hellwarp, Starscream, and Shockwave all making appearances.
- Megatron is mentioned but does not appear.
- This story marks the first meeting between Deadlock and Go Prime. Deadlock would go on to appear as Go Prime's protégé in the Black Parade in various Primus Vanguard stories.
Transformers references
