DC9中，我们看到威震天拿了猛大帅的拇指传送到了他手中，然后之前还很衰的猛大帅突然就猛了起来。对此事的原因漫画中解释的不是很清楚，幸好TFwiki跟以往一样在每部漫画后都对剧情有总结说明：
From TFwiki
There, in the cargo hold, Megatron's familiarity with the power of Ore-13 allows him to sense that Metroplex's thumb has at some point been infused with another of Shockwave's Regenesis ores.
At the last moment, however, Megatron materializes in the palm of Metroplex's hand, returning his thumb to him. Energized by the Regenesis ore in his reclaimed body-part, Metroplex begins to heal, giving him the strength to defeat the Necrotitan with one mighty punch; even his immune system comes back online and eradicates the Ammonites.
简单说就是由于威震天之前的身体是借助震荡波的矿13制造，所以他很熟悉震荡波矿石的感觉。他由此感知到了猛大帅的拇指里充满了震荡波的那种复苏矿石。在威震天将拇指传送到猛大帅手中后，复苏矿石治愈了猛大帅使他有力量击败死亡泰坦（大黄蜂上一本喷威震天喷得还算有理有据，这回却真是多说多错，还瞎扯猛大帅伸手过来是为了保护他们，明明是想要拿救命药好不好）。
当然，我们仍未知晓猛大帅的拇指里什么时候被灌注了复苏矿石，这还有待未来的故事中给出解答。
