Shokaract muses about the state of affairs in the universe he plans to conquer.
Synopsis
The Hunter, newly reborn as Shokaract, waxes poetic about his plans for the future. Gloating, the Predacon warlord-to-be watches over the Cybertronian Knights and Flamewar's pirate crew as he announces his glorious new destiny: the conquest of Cybertron, for which, he boasts, the planet is entirely unprepared...

Notes
- Characters mentioned include: Shokaract's former captain.
Continuity notes
- This story follows on from the the end of "Hoist the Flag", where the Hunter found the Dark Essence and became Shokaract.
- Shokaract flashes back to his days chained up in the gladiatorial pits, as mentioned in his BotCon 2014 toy's tech specs.
- After Cannonball's failure in "Hoist the Flag", the Facebook page Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur showed his and the Star Seeker's attempts to find Starscream's indestructible spark, only for Flamewar to ally with the Seeker and betray Cannonball, becoming the new Star Seeker captain.
Transformers references
- The final panel of Shokaract looming over Cybertron pays homage to the cloaked mystery villain from Japan's version of the Transformers Animated title sequence.
Errors
- Squirm and the Navigator appear alongside Captain Flamewar, but the Tornado Facebook page had them both as loyalists to the disembodied Cannonball who chose to be marooned on a planetoid with him.
Other trivia
- This comic was released as a pack-in to the Collectors' Club "BotCon Legacy Collection" package of BotCon 2014 toys Flareup, Ape-Linq, Shokaract, and Flamewar, showing off all four of those characters.
- Shokaract refers to himself as a Predacon. This was his faction in the "Reaching the Omega Point" storyline, but not in any of his previous appearances in this continuity.
- Starscream's Timelines G2 toy design makes an on-panel full-body appearance. It had previously only been described in text in the Facebook story page Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur.
