Sixshot, an engine of destruction, meets a group just like him.
Synopsis
Sixshot is stationed on a Decepticon orbital outpost waiting for his next assignment. He's restless, itching to get back to doing what he does best—wide-scale destruction. He daydreams about the last stellar-span when he destroyed the entire world of Ys'Devian.
Most of the other Decepticons stationed with him are uncomfortable around him and avoid him out of fear. The only exception to this is a unit that call themselves the Terrorcons, who look up to Sixshot as a kind of role model. However, Sixshot hasn't seen them around in a while and misses their company, so he asks Squawkbox about their whereabouts. Squawkbox informs him that they went missing on the planet Mumu-Obscura, a planet of strategic importance that has fallen to the Reapers. Sixshot immediately leaves to investigate, traveling there in spaceship mode.
Upon arrival at Mumu-Obscura, Sixshot easily fights his way through the Reapers' automated perimeter defenses. He surveys the landscape to find it completely devastated. He is met by the Reapers and the Deathbringer welcomes him to their planet. Sixshot wastes no time in asking for the Terrorcons, but the deathbringer tells Sixshot that he will have to go through the Reapers to get to them. Sixshot then attacks without hesitation.
He fights the Reapers one by one, believe that he's holding his own, but when the Reapers kick the fight up a notch, he has to retreat to regroup. It is then that Sixshot guesses that the Reapers were testing him and returns to find them all waiting for him. The Reapers teleport in the Terrorcons, and the Deathbringer tells Sixshot about the mission of the Reapers: The Reapers seek to end war by totally obliterating any location that has strategic importance, which will destroy anything worth fighting over. The Deathbringer offers to let Sixshot join them if he will first destroy the Terrorcons, demonstrating that he has left his old life behind.
Sixshot considers the offer long enough for the Terrorcons to get nervous and plead with him out of friendship. Sixshot then takes off into the air, shooting the ground around the Terrorcons but sparing their lives. The Deathbringer allows them to leave, but vows that they will find Sixshot again.

Notes
- Spectro and Spyglass appear in toy-based character models. In "Spotlight: Wheelie", they have adopted character models based on the Generation 1 cartoon.
- On the first page, Sixshot's guns make a ZARAAAK sound, possibly an in-joke reference to Scorponok's Nebulan partner Mo Zarak, who appears in the following Spotlight comic.
- Aside from appearing on Rob Ruffolo's cover, Sixshot doesn't use his "armored car" mode in this issue.
- This marks the first time that Simon Furman has used the Sixshot character in his fiction.
