Roche however had been unaware that Quickswitch had been killed off in ''ComicBook/TransformersVsVisionaries'', which is set ''before'' here due to Kup's death, which also occured there, being a LateArrivalSpoiler. This quickly prompted Roche and Josh Burcham to {{retcon}} it into being [[Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce Sixknight]] thanks to the two sharing a mold.

[[caption-width-right:350:Requiem for a Dream.]]
''The Transformers: Requiem for the Wreckers'' is the last chapter in the ''Wreckers Saga'', released on May 2018, capping the story of the Wreckers following the events of ''ComicBook/TheTransformersSinsOfTheWreckers''. Original artist and co-writer Nick Roche returns once again, joined by Geoff Senior and Brendan Cahill in art duties, with Josh Burcham and Josh Perez in coloring duties.
In the two years that have passed since Wreckers' final mission, Springer and Verity Carlo have been keeping a low profile, living together in a barn off the grid. Via a Cybertronian communications array left to them by Prowl, they listen in on radio chatter to keep up to date on goings-on out in the world, from the rise of firebrand anti-Cybertronian politician Megan Guiglione, to the shocking news of Kup's recent death. Already struggling to process what Verity has told him about his true origins as a creation of Tarantulas's, Springer is hit hard by the passing of a 'bot who was like a father to him, and decides to seek out the only remaining link to his past, Impactor—last seen joining up with the Cybertronian terrorist organization Mayhem—for a heart-to-heart talk. Before they hit the road to meet Impactor, Verity, concerned by phantom traces of outgoing communications she has found on the array, runs a diagnostic on the machine. While she waits for a handset to synch with it so she can monitor the results remotely while they are away, Springer tells her the story of how he first met Impactor...
