While the Dinobots handle a Quintesson invasion, the Selectors rise up...
Synopsis
Reassembled by the Recreator, Predaking comes smashing down on the Dinobots. Gloating, the lead Quintesson explains that they invented the Primitive Predacons and gave them to the Decepticons. They eventually returned to their creators and now fight on the Quintessons' behalf. Before Predaking can step on Grimlock, Grimmaster combines into his Prime Mode and stops Predaking's foot in the air with his own body. Grimmaster thanks his leader for accepting a former Decepticon into the Dinobots' ranks and is summarily crushed by Predaking. Sapped of his stamina, Grimlock struggles, but he finds hope in an ethereal voice—the Oracle! The Oracle implores Grimlock to use the power of Angolmois Energy sleeping within the earth to bring forth his heart's strength. Grimlock does does, producing the Magma Blades (which the other Dinobots are in awe of), and uses them to transform into the flying "Grimlock Wing Dragon Mode" and slice off one of Predaking's arms. But the Predacon combiner quickly grabs Slash as a hostage. The still living Grimmaster tosses his Energon Matrix to the Dinobots, granting them the ability to merge into the powerful Volcanicus! Predaking tries to attack the new combiner, but Volcanicus is too much for the Decepticon and forces him to disassemble, rescuing Slash in the process. The Predacons retreat and Slash notices that the Quintessons have fled as well.
Volcanicus is soon contacted by Spike, who alerts the Dinobots to a revolt by the Selectors, assisted by the Decepticons! Carly has been caught up in the initial attack and is badly hurt. Leaving Dinobot Island to Slash, Grimlock leads the other Dinobots to help out Carly.
At Neo Scramble City, Optimus Prime confronts Megatron and begs him to stop, as the war is long over. Megatron corrects his counterpart, pointing out that this is a revolution. "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings", no? Megatron asks why the Selectors—super robots like them—don't deserve the same freedom from the humans as their freedom from the Quintessons. Optimus struggles to answer.

Notes
Continuity notes
Transformers references
- Zetar and Smokescreen's presence in the Autobot lineup on the final page is presumably inspired by their status as Hasbro Generations Selects toys also released by TakaraTomy Mall. Similarly, fellow domestic Japanese release Nightbird showed up in the preceding chapter.
Errors
- In one panel, Swoop is drawn with a completely red forehead.
- Additionally, after receiving her orders from Grimlock, Slash's visor is blue instead of her usual red.
