Once the trap had been sprung, Megatron proposed an alliance between the two factions, with him in charge, before both sides came to blows. The more nimble Nemesis took advantage of the Requiem Blaster's high energy consumption rate to have the pirates detach the weapon before it moved in for the kill, damaging the Tidal Wave to the point of retreat. As the Star Seekers fled, Thundertron swore that he and Megatron would cross blades again, an opinion that the Decepticon leader did not share, overriding pursuit of the pirates in favour of pursuing the Autobots.

- The Wings Universe Star Seekers almost included the Generation 1 Insecticon Ransack, who would have had a toy redecoed from Generations Fall of Cybertron Kickback.[3]
