We cut to the next day, with Orion Pax and D-16 walking with the other miners to the arena, hosting the Iacon 5000 race. D-16 was full of excitement.

D-16: The Iacon 5000 is finally here! Oh, this is gonna be so awesome! And a deal-breaker too. I got a few bets I'm thinking of setting down. I'm definitely voting for Dark-Wing. Now, I know he's a jerk, but you have to admit he is fast.

Orion: Heh. Yeah. I have moments spent with him chasing me to prove that.

D-16: This is gonna be so epic!

Orion then turns his head towards a small alleyway, to which he heads towards. D-16 notices this and was rather confused?

D-16: Hey! Where are you going? The stadium is this way.

Orion: Just trust me. I need to show you something.

D-16: (sighs) Great we're gonna be late. I wanted good seats.

D-16 reluctantly follows after Orion, as they both enter an illegal route. D-16 continues to complain.

D-16: This better be good. We better not have come all the way here to miss the opening ceremony.

Orion: Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

The route begins to narrow, as Orion and D-16 find themselves squeezing through a tunnel of pipes. The two then ran down an open section with a large opening in the tunnel, revealing a giant fan, as the tunnel glowed red. Orion then stopped himself and D-16.

Orion: Hold up.

The fan then turns on, sending a big blast of wind, before turning off for a brief moment, giving the two enough time to run to the other side.

Orion: Get caught in one of those, and it'll launch you halfway across the city.

D-16: Okay, where are you taking me?

Orion: Relax. Don't be a glitch, alright? This will be totally worth it. Trust me.

D-16: Hey, you don't be a glitch.

The duo climb up a ladder, as they opened the door above, sneaking inside an unknown place.

D-16: I know it's, like, fun for you, sneaking around, like it's a playground and whatnot. But if we miss the Iacon 5000 because of you, I will...smelt your face right off...

D-16 shifts his annoyed expression into one of pure shock and surprise, as he found himself inside the arch that was the starting signal, staring out a red window at the stadium of the Iacon 5000. Racers were seen everywhere, as other bots were watching from the seating areas. Everyone was loud and about for this event.

Announcer: Welcome to the Iacon 5000! There they are. Put your hands together, as today's competitors are taking the field.

D-16's surprise turned into excitement, as he jumped for joy, with Orion smiling at the same view.

D-16: Look! There's Thunderglide, and Behemoth! This is unreal! I feel like I'm actually in the race!

D-16 then turns towards Orion, with Orion turning back.

D-16: You did all of this...for me?

Orion: No. I did this for us.

Orion and Dee smile at one another before fist-bumping each, as a sign of loyalty and friendship.

Announcer: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: the Icon of Iacon, the saviour of Cybertron. Quentisons fear him, but we love him. Put your hands together for Sentinel Prime!

Sentinel is on top of his tower, stretching, before running off the roof, activating his golden wings, helping him fly throughout the city, showing off in front of everyone one. He begins to fly down into the stadium, high-fiving all his fans, as they cheer for him. He then lands on a high-pedestal, in front of everyone.
