As Alpha Trion returns to his home dimension, his betrayal of Landquake and company continues to unfold.
Synopsis
In an abandoned laboratory on Cybertron, a light erupts, as a portal spits out the corpse of Skyfall, as Alpha Trion and his group arrive. Landquake asks how his friend died, but Alpha Trion ignores him. Knowing that scouts will be investigating the energy surge, the old Autobot begins directing his troops to gather up supplies and stay on watch. Angered, Landquake pointedly demands to know what happened to Skyfall. Alpha Trion gives him a hateful glare, before telling him that Skyfall was shot from behind before Trion could do anything. Their conversation is interrupted when Topspin spots a scout, Downshift, coming to investigate, and Trion orders everyone to hide. Downshift enters the facility, attempting to contact Hound, only to find his transmissions blocked as Alpha Trion suddenly appears. Downshift tries one last attempt to call Hound, warning him the "Old One" is back, as Trion cuts him in half.
Alpha Trion tells Topspin to keep watching, and orders Landquake to dispose of Downshift's corpse. Landquake, however, refuses, pointing out that Trion killed one of his own; this isn't the world of peace Trion promised. Trion, angered, tells the Decepticon that this is his Cybertron, but Breakaway interrupts the two. Breakaway has examined Skyfall's corpse, figuring out that he wasn't killed by an energy blast, but a blade. Alpha Trion sighs, and with his troops arriving, he orders them to take Landquake and Breakaway captive, as well as Topspin. Sky Lynx gives Alpha Trion a Decepticon scout as an offering, welcoming him back to Cybertron. Topspin begs his leader to know why he has done this to him, as he has been loyal. Trion tells him that his usefulness has ended, and that he, along with Landquake, Breakaway, and the corpse of Skyfall will be used as tools to conquer Cybertron once he finds the "fifth"...
