He receives his GearSlammer, the third car that is a hybrid of Earth technology and Sentient, a white truck, with a snowplow, a tripe grinder, mechanical arms, and a crane on the back. Though the mission changes in objective once they find out the Pod is corrupted. A.J. comes up with an idea to rewrite the pod's programming so that the parasites preserving the pod would self destruct. A plan is set up, and both Vert and A.J.'s vehicles are launched into the air and fused together to become the RigSaw. The virus is installed, saving the Multiverse from a multi-dimensional collapse.
