When Shane and the two Green Lanterns returned to their original position, they were somewhat surprised to find Lobo being brutally beaten by The Old-Timers.
Pushed to his breaking point by Amazo, The Old-Timers finally stopped maintaining his enormous body and shrank himself down to a few hundred meters tall.
As a result, his physical strength and speed increased exponentially. Before Amazo could copy the relevant technology, he tore Amazo into more than a dozen pieces.
One look at the scene told Shane that Rob had done his best.
In all likelihood, after shrinking his body and seizing the chance to tear Amazo apart, The Old-Timers had intended to instantly kill John and Guy, who were relatively easy targets.

Amazo had seemed difficult to deal with before because superheroes like Superman weren't in the
