• Rimuru joined Tony and Rhodey against Ivan Vanko, gained Lightning Resistance when Ivan shocked him, and was caught in the blast that defeated Ivan.

Rimuru arrived in the Transformers universe in 2007 and used Gillvalis to reach Hoover Dam, where he spotted the AllSpark and learned that several mechanical lifeforms were nearby. Unable to take the enormous cube yet, he ordered Gillvalis to find Witwicky and his car while the young man unknowingly faced threats from three groups.

• Rimuru asked the system to transport him to the Transformers universe, where Gillvalis identified Earth in 2007 and detected references to Cybertron and non-Earth-native mechanical lifeforms.
• Rimuru discovered that magic portals did not work in this universe, so Gillvalis teleported him to Hoover Dam and disabled Sector Seven's surveillance systems.
• Rimuru infiltrated the dam as an insect and found the AllSpark contained in an underground chamber, but saw that it was too large to take unnoticed.
• Gillvalis reported no meteorite sightings but noted that an unknown mechanical lifeform had destroyed a military base, which Rimuru suspected was Blackout.
• Rimuru ordered Gillvalis to locate Witwicky and his car while Witwicky was out with Bumblebee, unaware that three groups were coming after him.

Rimuru joined Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes as Bumblebee rescued them from Barricade and fought off the Decepticons. After Barricade fled, Bumblebee returned in a classic Camaro, leaving Sam stunned by his car’s transformation.

• Optimus Prime accepted Rimuru’s proposal, and the group prepared to go to Sam’s house to look for the glasses.

Rimuru accompanied Sam and the Transformers as they searched for the glasses, then watched Sector Seven capture them and witnessed Optimus Prime's rescue. After the others fled the approaching reinforcements, Rimuru returned to sit beside the agents while Bumblebee remained behind, apparently unable to escape.

• Sam and his friends searched his house for the glasses while the Transformers hid from his parents, and Mikaela Banes pulled Rimuru into the house with her.

Tony struggled to understand how the T-1000’s liquid-metal body functioned, while Rimuru privately understood the answer and enjoyed watching Tony’s frustration. Tony ended the chapter convinced he could not solve the mystery, then realized Rimuru had been teasing him and squeezed the slime in frustration.
