On Cybertron, there remain few cybertronian lifeforms. One of which is Shockwave; the computer on legs. Thanks to a mission to intercept the ark going wrong with an unstable space bridge caused by Grimlock and the successful test subjects Swoop and Slug. Shockwave as deemed Megatron as well as the rest of the Decepticon Army aboard either the Ark or Nemesis KIA, until further notice. Until then, the scientist has his optic set on another primitive planet rich with raw energy; the only con is its teeming with lifeforms. One of which must be exterminated entirely. Who better to send than the slayer of bugs himself along with Slug and Swoop.
