** The Smelting Pit is a place where Decepticons toss captured Autobots, and they melt and dissolve to death slowly over several days. Made worse as we see Scrounge, a character we'd gotten to know in the previous issue reduced to a torso, then melt to nothingness, while his friend Blaster tried to save him.

* Just about everything [[TheCaligula Straxus]] does. From smelting bots for his fortress to attempting to revive himself through a Megatron clone made from a hapless trooper who probably had no idea who he was, Straxus brews his Nightmare Fuel and drinks it on the rocks.

Thank goodness for Spike getting the American Flag up and Hook, Line and Sinker showing up to grab Galvatron II for Unicron. Ask Vector Prime would later reveal that this reality had a serious case of EarnYourHappyEnding.

* The ending of UK issue 272. Needlenose trudges back to his room lamenting that the other Decepticons just don't understand that Carnivac (who's out for revenge after the Mayhem Attack Squad killed Catilla) will find his way through their fancy defenses. When he returns, he finds the light doesn't work...as Carnivac is inside saying "The dark is better...for what I'm here to do!" and then "thanks" Needlenose for getting everyone out as that made it easier for him to get in. Needlenose calls for help but the other Decepticons just think he's trying to time them again and walk off and Carnivac kills Needlenose reminding him to "Never cry wolf!"
