Synopsis
Goldbug, Grimlock, and Jazz sneak into a laboratory and discover a kind of new technology. Starscream tries to stop them but ends up by getting beaten by Grimlock. Starscream warns the Autobots to surrender. Both Starscream and Razorclaw are mocked by Grimlock. But Razorclaw uses a device to open the roof and signals the Mayhem Suppression Squad to show up.

Items of note
Transformers references
- This entire comic was a tribute to Derek Yaniger's artwork in the Marvel Generation 2 comics.
- Colonel Deathsaurus's pose is also identical to Bludgeon's on the third page of "Tales of Earth Part One" from the Generation 2 comics.
- Bug Bite's pose is lifted from Sideswipe's first appearance in Generation 2 #1, "War Without End!".
- Dirge features more homages than you can shake a Pretender shell at.
- The four Pretender shells on the first page are the shells of the Classic Pretenders, while the other two shells on the second page are the unreleased Double Pretenders.
- Goldbug looks forward to the Decepticon uprising being "FINISHED... OVER!" Man, even the Furmanisms are backwards in the mirrorverse!
- It's a bit of a coincidence that the three Autobots who feature in this comic are the Classic Pretenders in the normal universe, isn't it?
Real-world references
- TBA
Miscellaneous trivia
- When it was released online, this comic was supposed to be a three page preview to Shattered Glass. It was actually an April Fools joke. A really good one. Ironically, the story and characters (Mr. T Jazz, Criminal genius Grimlock etc) were all extremely popular, and influenced the actual "Shattered Glass" comic and universe.
- The comic was reprinted in its entirety as part of the Diamond release of the Shattered Glass comic issue.
