Astrotrain came to a hard stop in the Nemesis II's docking bay. He immediately contacted the Sweep left behind on the bridge, "Kickback! Get us out of here, now!" and transformed once the Decepticons had disembarked.
The Sweep responded in a cold monotone, "As you command."
"Report!" Galvatron ordered.
"Ramjet was left behind, dead." Cyclonus stated. "As was one of the Sweeps. Bombshell, I believe. Dirge died as well, shot in the back."
"Shot in the back?" Galvatron asked. "How ironic, considering the story he always told. Injuries?"
"Soundwave suffered major damage, but much of it was superficial." continued Cyclonus. "The other Sweep, Shrapnel, was also damaged. So severely, in fact, that repair seems unlikely."
"With the loss of Ramjet, Dirge and Bombshell, we can't afford to lose another warrior. Get the Constructicons begin repairs immediately, firstly with the Sweep and then Soundwave." Galvatron said, "Scourge! Shockwave! With me to the bridge!" as he departed.
Cyclonus said, "Hook, begin work on the Sweep."
"Right away." said Hook. "Longhaul! Take him to the workshop!"
Longhaul transformed into dump truck mode, and as Thrust gently placed the Sweep onto it's bed, Cyclonus noticed something just out of the corner of his eye. It appeared to be a ball of energey, and it effortlessly passed through the hull. He realized what is was. A spark! "It's Starscream again! Keep your guard up! Don't let--" but he was cut off as the spark entered the body of the damaged Sweep and the bay was engulfed in a flash of light. Thrust, Hook, and Longhaul were all knocked aside as the Sweep rose up and was suspended in midair. What in the name of the Pit is going on?
The Sweep was now crackling with energy, and its damaged body began to repair itself. But it was not as it was before. Its feet were now claws with two fingers at the front and one at the back, and its hands now also had two fingers and a thumb. Its wings now split into four sections. Its mouth now had four mandibles at either side, and its eye was now a large, glowing oval which bisected down the middle. The rest of its structure was for the most part unchanged. It landed, and as it rose up to stand, screamed in a raspy voice, "Ha ha ha! I live! I LIVE!!!"
Cyclonus did the only thing he could do. He activated his communicator and said into it, "Lord Galvatron. There's something in the docking bay I think you should see."
