wada sez: This is the second Regeneration Plus strip (and the second-to-last Multiverse comic overall). I’ve mirrored Balocca’s commentary below.

Multitasking of Evil is a one page story focusing on the Dark Matrix Entity, the final villain of the Regeneration One series. Our intent is to tell that there's a long time plan developing behind the scenes.

-  Inside his den on Cybertron into the planetary core, the Dark Matrix Entity is monitoring what's happening on Earth, Nebulos and Cybertron via some “energy windows” linked to Space Zero.

- To be precise, the "energy windows" refers to: Panel 1, Window #1: Megatron and Optimus Prime last fight on Washington D.C.. [R1 #85] Panel 1, Window #2: Kup and Starscream stand near the sled made with Ratchet's head. [R1 #85] Panel 1, Window #3: the Ark is located in Yukon since it crashed. But someone overtaken it. [Megatron changes the World] Panel 1, Window #4: on Nebulos, Scorponok is towing an off-line Grimlock. [after the events in R1 #82] Panel 1, Window #5: Soundwave, on Cybertron, enters the Hall of Silence (where are located Thunderwing's remains). [R1 #84] Panel 2, Window #1: Kup, assisted by First Aid, shoots Ratchet in the head, killing him. [R1 #85] Panel 2, Window #2: Optimus Prime kills Megatron. [R1 #85]

- The Dark Matrix emanation first appeared in "Dark Creation", when Thunderwing took possession of it. [US #65]

- The Dark Matrix emanation possessed Megatron in "Megatron changes the World".

- After the Ark crash landed on Earth, Fortress Maximus neutralized Galvatron and thrown his body in into a frozen lake. [US #79]

wada sez: In parallel to Villa’s Untold Marvels, the fanproject Regeneration Plus was also aiming to tie into Furman’s Regeneration One series. This strip is of course unrelated to the previous Mosaic comic of the same name. Balocca (I presume) has done the work for me in explaining the story; I’ve mirrored her commentary below.

Hail to the King! was realized for an Italian contest: now it's the moment to show the English version!

It seems that the initial idea of the creatives was to realize a finale for every main Regeneration One character but, ultimately, it was not possible. So I've imagined a last page for Grimlock. You can consider this page like a Regeneration One #100.1 special story.
