Sentinel Maximus battles Dark Scorponok, while Skyfall encounters Ramjet.

Synopsis

Advancing on Skyfall, Scorponok shrugs off an Energon blast, and smacks down on Skyfall...only to be stopped by the Velocitronian's force field. Getting angrier and angrier, the undead Terrorcon pummels him further and further down into the ground, and blasts some of the surrounding towers, burying Skyfall under the rubble. Still hungry, Dark Scorponok's attention is caught by Thunderclash, who promises to lead him the fuel he desires, while Thunderwing messages Ramjet about the battle...

2 mega cycles later, at the Kalis Primary Energon Reserves Control, Sentinel Maximus and Vector Prime enter the abandoned facility, believing this to be Ramjet's primary target. Setting about to try and turn on the auto-cannons, they are watched by Thunderclash, who has led Dark Scorponok right to them. The outside has not been left unguarded, however, as Safeguard bravely leaps down and attacks. Calling on Sentinel Maximus for backup, the two engage.

Meanwhile, Ramjet tells the Scrapmetals of Dark Scorponok's affliction: forced by an insatiable desire to feed, feeling no pain, and spreading the infliction to others upon whom he feeds. Finishing his story, Skyfall finally rises up from under the rubble. Ramjet seemingly recognizes the traveler, although his systems recognize him as someone else. Questioning the herald, Skyfall is told a lot has changed on Cybertron since he was last here....

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Notes

Other notes

  • The Mini-Cons are shown to be speaking normally. In Safeguard's case, it's likely the comic is just "translating" his speech, as he was always depicted in the Cybertron cartoon as speaking the standard Mini-Con language of R2-D2-esque bleeps and bloops.
