Back on-board the Lost Light, Chromedome visits Brainstorm to talk about Skids' gun, the one he didn't realise he had, that Chromedome stole when he wasn't looking. Brainstorm reveals it blew up the minute he started work on it, but stranger than that, it's got an unsusal design. It only has room for two catridges, and much more disturbing that that, he recognises it as Institute tech.
Back with the Scavengers, they talk about the planet they're on, and how despite it being a mass graveyard, it's just another footnote in the War. Conversation turns to how the war is over, something that Fulcrum equates with saying the weather's stopped. The Decepticons glumly state the Autobots probably won. Discussion then turns to what was supposed to happen if ''they'' won, and the legendary Phase Seven, Repopulation. Then Spinister says the fire is giving him odd looks, on account of it being an Autobot. Krok then shoots the Autobot dead.

Daybreak with the Scavengers, and Misfire is distracted by his quest to find the Necrobot, a mysterious figure who appears over the corpse of every dead Cybertronian. However, instead of a 'bot, he finds a crashed spaceship, and a Decepticon one at that, shaped like their symbol. They investigate, and what they find is all kinds of disturbing. Misfire fnds a ceiling covered in brains. Krok finds a room full of half-formed protoforms, and a robot made of bark. Fulcrum finds what appears to be blood. They regather, and Misfire suggests turning and getting the hell away from the ship. Fulcrum however takes it as a sign of how random the universe is, and that they're finally free.
Then Krok reveals he's getting a call. It's from Tarn, informing them that they'll be there in fifteen minutes, and if they hand over the traitor in their midst, they get to live. Panic immediately follows, until Spinister points out Tarn counter eight of them, even though there's only seven. Then Krok notices something through a door. It's a stasis pod, and inside...

-->''The War won't be over until Megatron '''says''' so''
'''Issue:''' #5
'''Released:''' July 25th 2012
On a distant planet, someone describes the history and accomplishments of the legendary Phase Six Decepticon Black Shadow, while asking about the tendency of Phase Six 'cons to rebel. This someone, named "Tarn", is interrupted when one of his co-workers points out that Black Shadow isn't actually dead. Though he really wishes he was. He's just been found by the Decepticon Justice Division. Tarn, their leader, decides to talk with the badly injured fugitive, who tries to tell him that the war is over. Tarn responds that until Megatron says otherwise, it isn't. So Black Shadow has to die for letting the cause down. Having already experienced much of the skills of the rest of the D.J.D., Black Shadow is introduced to Tarn's ability: Weaponized conversation, which kills Shadow, and causes what's left of him to combust. The D.J.D. then move on to their next target, who committed the heinous crime of living...
On-board the Lost Light, Ratchet, Ambulon and First Aid manage to save Rung, something Ratchet declares is a bona-fide miracle. Five hours later, a more panicked than usual Red Alert visits the shrink, and shares his fears about Overlord, and his belief that "They" are going to kill him for knowing. So he leaves a data-slug in Rung's hand, and walks off, unaware that the Diagnostic Drone present has been watching, carefully.

It only has room for two catridges, and much more disturbing that that, he recognises it as Institute tech.
