* EvilVersusEvil: After Unicron takes over Rodimus Cron's body, he sets out to destroy the Matrix of Leadership.

Grimlock even suggests to the others they should just kick back and let the two villains kill each other, but Windblade was opposed to the idea because Rodimus Cron was still her friend Hot Rod.



** So far Overlord and Rodimus Cron are shown to be completely unstoppable in their pursuit of the heroes. Their first appearance has them utterly [[WorfEffect dominate and kill off]] Computron, Menasor, and Devastator. No other bots have done any better in stopping them.
