One very valid reason the human supervillains stop is the news of Master Disaster getting confronted by that cyclops Decepticon who is VERY angry over the fact the race master used his remote to control said cyclops’s partner and was planning to keep him under control permanently.
Shockwave being the cryptic that he is and standing outside of his house/ where he is. Red optic glowing.
"W-who are you?"
"You are the one who captured the blue racer."
"Y-yes. But he's gone now."
"If I ever see you try and get him again. I will be the last thing you remember as your life gets snuffed out by my servos."
"And if I dont?"
He gets grabbed and hung upside down. Coming face to face with the red optic of the towering Decepticon.
"I'll see it to myself the torture you will endure."
