Synopsis

TOOM!

Landquake orders everyone out of the building as Computron rips the roof off the building. As Topspin and Breakaway grab Skyfall's body, Landquake blasts the combiner, blinding Computron. The arrogant, moronic combiner stumbles about, while Landquake, knowing his optics will restore themselves soon, decides their only course of action is to head to this dimension's Megatron.

Soon, at Decepticon HQ, Reflector calls Starscream, telling him that Computron appears to be chasing someone. Intrigued, Starscream tells the Decepticon camera to alert Megatron, and send Abominus to help the robots. Meanwhile, Aquarius explains while he and the others flee how he managed to find them: an odd computer called Omega Terminus, linked in some unknown way to Alpha Trion. Omega Terminus is connected through a multiversal computer network to Vector Sigma, where Aquarius found a recall code for a warrior. Suddenly, Landquake swerves out of the way, as Abominus greets him and the others, facing down Computron. Another Deathcobra leads them to safety, where they are greeted by Megatron, Starscream, Cyclonus, and most surprisingly of all, Cliffjumper. The Autobot is happy to see Landquake, and the Decepticon reciprocates his greeting, and tells Megatron they have to speak with him immediately.

Soon, Landquake explains how they got to this dimension, and that they are looking for Heatwave. Megatron, far friendlier than Landquake imagined, has Cyclonus get Heatwave. Turning his attention to Aquarius, Megatron and the Quintesson exchange greeting, both hoping for a friendship between their peoples. Cyclonus arrives with Heatwave, and Megatron presents the Decepticon to the newcomers, hoping he can answer their questions. However, Cyclonus suddenly receives a message and pulls his gun out on Megatron. For the glory of Alpha Trion, the traitorous Decepticon assassinates Megatron!

Quotes

(after Landquake blinds Computron)
"Computron does not need sight! Computron will use Computron's infinite processing power to find you!"
(as everyone moves to stand just out of Computron's reach)
"Computron concludes that the small robots are teleporters! Computron curses Computron's luck!"

Computron isn't near as smart as he thinks he is.


"Good afternoon, my fine fellows. If you'll just get behind me, I'll take care of your little Autobot problem."
"You will not keep Computron from Alpha Trion's prize!"
"I must say, dear Computron, your diction has improved since last we met."

Abominus prepares to throw down with Computron... politely.

Notes

  • Hey, it's Deathcobra! He's got Serpentor's colours. Serpentor would later get a TFSS toy in the form of a Senator Ratbat retool - the same toy which would form the basis for IDW Deathcobra's design. It all comes full circle, see? Hey, maybe that means you can repurpose your TFSS Serpentor as this guy! Except that he only appears for literally one panel. Maybe not, then.
  • So the Omega Terminus, Vector Sigma, and Shattered Glass Alpha Trion are apparently all linked somehow, according to Aquarius. "A bit unnerving" might be an understatement here.
  • We later find out in "Blitzwing Bop" that Aquarius's recall program also drew Heatwave—already in the Shattered Glass universe, but on Earth—back to Cybertron through a "coincidental" stellar spanner incident.
