A detour to the Autobot medical facility at Delphi-in the heart of Decepticon Justice Division (D.J.D) territory-brings new dangers to the starship Lost Light. Pharma, the head of Delphi, claims the leader of the D.J.D. is addicted to changing shape and has forced Pharma to murder patients to harvest their Transformation Cogs. Ratchet defeats Pharma and returns to the Lost Light with a number of Delphi's patients in tow, including Fortress Maximus. Soon after, Maximus suffers a mental breakdown and takes Whirl and Rung hostage. On Rodimus' orders, Swerve fires upon Fort Max-but ends up accidentally shooting Rung in the head.
