After upgrading Black Shadow, Sixshot, and Heretech into "Phase Sixer" Warriors Elite this way, Rossum was hesitant to use the last of their ununtrium on Overlord as he feared a Transformer from Luna 2 might not survive the process or might rebel and use his newfound power to destroy Megatron, but the Decepticon leader soon talked him round by revealing that Shockwave had implanted both an Achilles virus and a killswitch into Overlord.
