At the Decepticon lab Vivasector and Oil Slick report on Toxitron's progress, where they mention that the stasis lock implant in Toxitron has corroded, but there is a backup stasis lock implant that is still working, although it takes a breem to charge. They are not worried because Toxitron is taking orders anyways. Knock Out discovers the lab's resupply ship, which arrives every three months has just docked, and warns Vivasector and Oil Slick they should have started charging the backup stasis lock implant. Knock Out immediately recalls the resupply ship for fear Toxitron will attempt to use it as an escape ship. The escape alarm sounds. Toxitron, in waking stasis lock, stares at the hanger doors, and recalls "settling accounts" with those at the lab before being locked in stasis, where he has stood for a long time. Counterpunch, Fractyl and Impactor find the lab and discover Toxitron. They decide to release Toxitron and offer to let him join their quest to destroy Thunder Mayhem. Toxitron is impressed by Impactor giving him a choice and a chance to destroy something big, and accepts.
