Synopsis
Thunderwing continues to devastate the surface of Nebulos, while on Cybertron Bludgeon prepares to submit himself to the dermal grafting process. On the dead planet's surface, Nosecone and Afterburner are attacked by Centurion drones, but are rescued by the Wreckers, who have arrived with Optimus Prime. The Autobots breach Bludgeon's bunker and rapidly overcome his team-mates. Iguanus flees to the pressure vat chamber, seeking Bludgeon, only to discover a massive figure wielding a glowing sword.
Darkwing orders the Decepticon infiltration unit on Nebulos to attack Thunderwing, but the monstrous being eliminates over half the attacking Decepticons in seconds. After their own attacks prove ineffective, Darkwing and Dreadwind abandon Nebulos.
The Wreckers breach the pressure vat chamber and discover a catatonic Bludgeon within his shell, Iguanus, dying from being cleft in two by Bludgeon's sword and Jetfire, who tells Prime to shut Bludgeon's control throne down. Jetfire gets to work on the data in Bludgeon's computers, but an orbital warning sounds - with Bludgeon's control system destroyed, Thunderwing is returning home...

Items of Note
If the Infiltration arc is maintaining a focus on the classic G1 characters, then Stormbringer appears intent on drawing the more esoteric G1 Transformers into the rebooted continuity and explaining their at-times odd technology. Thunderwing's "grafting process" appears to be the origin of Pretender technology, given that Thunderwing has only been glimpsed outside his shell prior to the apocalypse and that Bludgeon and all of the named Decepticons working for him thus far are part of the G1 Pretender toy line. Also, most of the Decepticons glimpsed in the background inside the Decepticon command bunker on Nebulos are members of the Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters lines (though whether the various -master technologies have yet been invented in this continuity is unknown).
