| abstract | - Starscream and his pals drop in on Grimlock, brooding in an abandoned coliseum where apparently, Grimlock regularly defeated Starscream. Starscream questions how Grimlock rejected Megatron's uprising—suspecting that some part of Grimlock still wants to be a Decepticon. Annoyed at Starscream's arrogance, Grimlock swats him away with a backhanded punch. The other Seekers draw their weapons but are stopped by Starscream, who tells Grimlock (under protest by Skywarp) where his squadron's target is, and invites Grimlock to Sector Zero-Six, suggesting that Grimlock give into his dark urges to conquer and destroy. They leave a furious Grimlock to continue on their mission. In a flashback, Grimlock (still a Decepticon at this time) prepares for a gladiatorial match with Maul (drawn to somewhat recall Demolishor) while being pestered by Starscream. Starscream tells Grimlock that "some" say that he doesn't have the killer instinct and this information has reached Megatron. Grimlock grabs Starscream by the throat, causing him to backpedal and say that the opinion is not his own, but "others". Grimlock releases him and leaves for the match as Starscream pays a bribe to Emirate Xeon. In the match, poor Maul is quite outmatched and soon has his head cracked open by Grimlock's massive fist and his chest sliced open by his energo-sword. It's uncertain, however, if Grimlock delivers the killing blow. Back in the present, the Seekers arrive at Sector Zero-Six. Oddly, it is deserted. They find a voice recording by Grimlock stating that he evacuated the station and left a "present" for the group—a bomb! Skywarp warps his teammates out seconds before the bomb explodes.
