You and I-QUEUE take a more in-depth look at some Cybertronians throughout the multiverse. Plus: the Constructicons!
Synopsis
Heading further into the Axiom Nexus Cybernet Infocore, I-QUEUE wishes to set some time apart to quiz you on Cybertronians of varying importance throughout the multiverse, and has you name the following Transformers:
1. Which Maximal was head of the Convoy Council, and died during an attack on Unicron? A. Rodimus Convoy B. Big Convoy C. Grand Convoy D. Great Convoy
2. Which Mini-Con aligned himself with Optimus Prime and his Autobots to stop the Decepticons from abusing the power of the Mini-Cons? A. Goldbug B. Sparkplug C. Spike D. Bumblebee
3. This Decepticon sleeper agent is so well disguised as an Autobot teacher, she doesn't even realize she isn't an Autobot. Who is she? A. Flip Sides B. Feedback C. Projector D. Rosanna
4. This Decepticon sharpshooter is equally as sharp with her mouth as with her shots, keeping other Decepticons from befriending her. Who is she? A. Nightsister B. Nightracer C. Nightbird D. Nightraven
5. This Autobot is known for his heat-resistant metal hide, his great patience, and his concern for the well-being of his friends. Who is he? A. Flamewar B. Blazemaster C. Smolder D. Artfire
I-QUEUE proceeds to go further into a topic from last time; the Constructions. In one particular universe, the combined Constructicons, known as Devastator, won the Decepticons multiple battles during the Third Cybertronian War. A group of desperate Autobots ambushed the six at Elevation Recostalus, neutralizing them before they could combine. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the end; by 1984, Megatron had gathered enough resources to repair them. Having their bodies sent over via space bridge, the Decepticon leader re-built them, and had Scrapper replace Hook as leader to remind them that he does not except failures.

Notes
Transformers references
- The correct answer to the first question is Great Convoy, who was a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo anime series. The question is illustrated with an image of him from the September 1999 issue of TV Magazine. The other options include Rodimus Convoy, the Japanese name for Rodimus Prime; Big Convoy, leader of the group of Maximals seen in Beast Wars Neo; and Grand Convoy, the Japanese name for Energon Optimus Prime.
- The correct answer to the second question is Sparkplug, who is illustrated with a screencap of him from Armada episode "Carnival". The other options include Bumblebee, the Generation 1 Autobot who served as a source of inspiration for Sparkplug's design; Goldbug, Bumblebee's upgraded Throttlebot form; and Spike, the son of Sparkplug Witwicky (with whom Sparkplug shares his name) from the Transformers cartoon (and later, the Marvel Transformers comics).
- The correct answer for the third question is Flip Sides, a cassette Transformer sold with the Collector's Edition reissue of Twincast. She's illustrated with the image of her from her toy bio card. The other options include feedback and projector, fairly generic terms, and Rosanna, an Autobot cassette from Kiss Players who shares the Rewind/Eject molds. The two's Animated counterparts have hinted a connection before, with The AllSpark Almanac II indicating that Rosanna is an Autobot disguise for Flip Sides.
