As he walks along, his vocal systems finally regenerate and he can talk again, so he scolds his arm cannon for wasting his energon by repairing.

Synopsis

On board a ship transporting prisoners, Protoform X is dragged to cell, and sealed inside. Clawing at the door proves of no use, but salvation soon comes when the ship is mysteriously destroyed, sending X plummeting into the atmosphere of a nearby planet. All the while, Protoform X knows that no matter how much the pain, he will survive. He always survives. Upon impact, the skeletal X pulls himself out, beginning to regenerate; having been unable to kill him any other way, Protoform X believes his jailers are trying to starve him. Additionally, upon sensing something familiar, X realizes he isn't the only one one the planet...

A whole day passes by until X is near fully healed. Paranoid and insane from years of torture, Protoform X begins yelling at himself for consuming so much energy, trying all the while to convince himself he's in control. Seemingly spotting a figure out of the corner of his optics, begins firing off his cannon, every shadow and rock appearing to be a Maximal. As the figure he spotted watches him from the distance, Protoform X is nearly consumed by his rage, until he spots a groove in the ground. Believing it to be vehicle-mode tracks, Protoform X is delighted, transforming and declaring that he is now the hunter...
