Synopsis

At Decepticon Orbital Command Headquarters, after Megatron has sent his minions to find data on the Autobots' Omega Supreme project...

Snow Cat explains how he cleverly snuck into Ocean City, but before reaching his target, he fell victim to a "sub-sea earthquake" that disrupted his agenda. In reality, he was defeated by recklessly driving into a wall and being crushed by falling pipes.

Slugslinger explains how he cleverly snuck into the Ocean City, using a sluice duct discovered by Shockblast, but before reaching his target, he fell victim to an "electrostatic security perimeter." In reality, he was defeated by a torrent of waste being flushed out of the same tube he was using to break in.

Sharkticon explains how he cleverly snuck into the Ocean City, but before reaching his target, he fell victim to a "strategic lockdown protocol." In reality, he was defeated by Kicker and the Energon Saber.

Megatron, able to determine that each of his underlings was obviously lying about their defeat, concludes that despite the three Decepticons being equally unsuccessful, Slugslinger was the most adept as creating a sound lie—and thus Slugslinger is promoted to Senior Lieutenant.

Items of note

  • The opening page notes that this story "takes place outside of regular Energon continuity". This seems to be a poor choice of words; rather than mean it is not in the same continuity as the Energon comic, it appears to have been intended to mean that "Perspective" simply wasn't concurrent with the story being published in the Energon comics that month. It would take years before the details of the unreleased Energon comics were revealed, but a six month gap was to follow the conclusion of "Multiplicity", during which the satellite base seen in this issue would have been established.
  • Slugslinger and Sharkticon are both depicted with normal humanoid faces as opposed to their toys' wrenched snarl and faceplate, respectively.
  • Snow Cat also has a little bit of a mouth, just over his "rebreather". Also, he can apparently function as a jet ski!
