Landquake and company chill out with a most groovy visitor!
Synopsis
Landquake, Breakaway, and Topspin are baffled; all the other Cybertronians in their makeshift home have completely stopped, showing no signs of life and unable to be moved. Their questions are soon answered however, when the groovy five-faced Quintesson Aquarius appears, explaining that they're in a bubble of slow time. Landquake, disconcerted by the alien, demands to know what he wants, and Aquarius explains that he recalled them here to Cybertron. Topspin insists that Alpha Trion was the one who brought them here, but Aquarius explains that things are more than they seem, and that the group have very big responsibilities. Landquake takes a moment to talk with his friends; the Decepticon doesn't trust Aquarius, but Breakaway and Topspin advocating listening to the alien. Using his telepathic powers, Aquarius explains that he, along with other Quintessons, arrived on Cybertron sometime ago, keeping a low profile to study the Cybertronians. Occasionally, they would intervene to eliminate some threats, but now, Optimus Prime is developing a weapon that even the Quintessons cannot match: Omega Doom.
Ironhide informs Prime that Omega Doom's construction is on schedule, and that security is constantly on patrol. Prime pointedly reminds Ironhide not to fail him like Blurr, while Grimlock nibbles on his corpse. Prime declares that Omega Doom will be his greatest victory, and promises Ironhide his own star system if he succeeds in his duties.
Landquake is unable to see how the three of them are able to defeat a threat as powerful as Omega Doom; Aquarius explains that the three, along with Skyfall and a fifth robot, are capable of more than they realized. This fifth robot, Heatwave, is already on the planet with Megatron. Suddenly Aquarius is alerted that his slow time bubble is about to run out, and promises to tell the others more along the way, as Computron rips the roof off the building...
Meanwhile, Alpha Trion negotiates with one his contacts; once Megatron is assassinated, his business partner's agents will attack Optimus. This will give control of Cybertron to Alpha Trion, and control of Earth to the speaker on the other side: Rodimus Prime!

Quotes
"Can you...stop doing that thing with your faces? It's disconcerting."
- —Aquarius seems to be making Landquake a little motion-sick!
"I do not like this creature."
"You don't like anyone, Landquake. He seems fine to me."
- —Landquake is dour towards Aquarius; Breakaway is accepting. What else is new?
Notes
- Grimlock picks up a popular Internet meme as he chomps on Blurr: NOM NOM NOM!
- Fortress Maximus has Scorponok's colors. Ironhide is using his Universe body (with the colors of either his original Diaclone toy or his Movieverse self). Omega Doom is Cybertron Menasor (Cybertron) in Omega Supreme's colors. Landcross's new paint job is a little harder to place - any guesses?
Errors
Aquarius: "I can explain more while we run, but Computron's about the rip the roof off this building." (correct: "Computron's about to rip the roof off this building.")
