Decepticons aren't very good liars.
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". However, there's technically nothing preventing this story from happening after the events of the regular comic, especially since Dreamwave folded before Energon's story could be completed.
- 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".
