Sixshot destroys an orbital Autobot research facility for its top-secret information, and the Throttlebots, the station's lone survivors, flee to the planet below and discover an abandoned Cybertronian city. Before they can escape, Sixshot finds them and pursues them through the city, informing them that Megatron freed him from Jhiaxus's control following the Expansion in exchange for the undead scientist's technology. The Decepticon super-warrior injures three of the six Throttlebots, but the city suddenly grows a gigantic arm and smashes Sixshot into the ground. The Throttlebots are amazed to see Sixshot stand up intact, but the city fully transforms into the ancient Titan Metroplex and stomps Sixshot into oblivion. Metroplex sadly informs the Throttlebots he cannot help them, as he must remain focused on his own mission, but directs them to a shuttle with medical supplies before departing the planet. The Throttlebots wonder what information Metroplex is protecting as they too leave, unaware that the crushed Sixshot is, in fact, still alive. Windblade would introduce the lost colony world of Caminus, where female and male Transformers naturally coexisted. This would lead into the idea that ancient Cybertron did have female Transformers, but had lost them for unknown reasons. Rather than a Frankensteinian attempt to force gender on the species, Jhiaxus's experiments were an effort to reintroduce a lost element of Cybertronian society.
