| - Below Cybertron's surface, a group of Cobra and G.I. Joe survivors takes stock of their situation. Storm Shadow reports that he saw the sequence Shockwave used to lock down Teletran 3's teleportation sequence, meaning they can try to reverse it. Beachhead proposes sending someone up the via the conduit shaft that brought them down here, but to avoid detection they can't have any metal in or on them. Lady Jaye and Roadblock meet that requirement, and volunteer. Stripped to their skivvies, they start rappelling up the shaft. Above, Cyclonus and Shockwave discuss the humans' ingenuity in regard to implementing the teleporter. Shockwave intends to vivisect the survivors for research purposes. Lady Jaye uses a quick physics lesson to save Roadblock from a pulse coming down his cable. Soon they arrive at the control chamber, where Shockwave is amusing himself by taunting Perceptor about his plans to strip Earth bare. Their conversation is interrupted when Roadblock makes his move, grabbing a pistol loose from one of Shockwave's troops. He manhandles the gun into firing position and manages to score a couple of hits, providing enough distraction for Lady Jaye to reach Teletran 3. Despite Starscream's shouted warning, she enters the sequence, and in a flash of light, Team 4 returns. Right behind them: the Dinobots! Newly reformatted into massive and powerful forms, the Dinobots cut a destructive swath through the Decepticons, driving them to retreat. The next day, the grip of Shockwave's rule has been broken. Optimus Prime thanks the humans for their help. Prime and Lady Jaye agree to make sure that all the teleportation technology is destroyed on both Earth and Cybertron, as Cobra Commander and Destro nearly come to blows. As the humans prepare to go home, the Baroness notes that Cobra Commander isn't too upset over losing Starscream; CC replies that "they can keep him." At that moment, on the other side of the planet, Shockwave is undergoing repairs in his headquarters. Starscream is brought before him, and manages to talk his way out of being seen as a traitor. But at that moment, a voice begins speaking: Cobra Commander! Via a recording, he explains that Starscream's been nothing but trouble... and that his hull is lined with explosives. The top of Shockwave's command tower disappears in fire. Three months later, at the McMath Maximum Security Correctional Facility in Spokane, Washington, Dr. Mindbender receives some visitors from the National Security Agency. They fly him off to a secret compound, and order him to take an elevator below or be killed. Mindbender realizes they're not NSA, but he has no choice. Below ground, he finds himself facing a group of beings not of his world: Pythona, Nemesis Enforcer, and the servants of Cobra-La. They intend to open a dimensional gateway, heralding the coming of Unicron!
