NOTES

Originally published as a Mosaic.

Original unlettered art.

Part Three of the Cassette Combiners Trilogy, with Part 1 and 2 being respectively Dark Auspices and Evening The Odds.

Kalis is a classic Citistate from G1 Marvel UK comics.

It seems that Jhiaxus engineered things so that one day in the future Shockwave could "accidentally" find the Gestalt blueprints hidden somewhere.

Shockwave said "Escalate the war", not "Grant victory to our side", because he gains from making the war worse.
He is following Jhiaxus' "instructions" about breaking the metaphysical barriers that keeps this reality separate from the J'nwan dimension.

Rediscovering the Gestalt technology, Shockwave will start the events told in The War Within: The Dark Ages: exactly like Blaster predicts, Gestalts will start an escalating arms race, so dangerous and uncontrollable that all the factions will have to ban them through the Crisis Intervention Accord.
SlamDance will take advantage of these events, by finally revealing himself as a simplified Gestalt.
For this reason, in The War Within: The Age Of Wrath, Grand Slam and Rain Dance are openly active both as individuals and as Gestalt.
After that age, another Gestalt crisis will threaten not only Cybertron, but the existence of the J'nwan as well, fulfilling Jhiaxus' "lost" experiment (as will be told in another of our projects, And the Legends look down).
This will force Boltax to intervene: as explained in Supreme Recall, Gestalts will be forgotten (again). SlamDance and Squawkbox will be frozen in their combined form, as non-transforming mechanoids.
(For this reason, Squawkbox can be seen in Spotlight: Sixshot).
