No explanation is given for this change, but it is presumable that Primal Prime and his team relocated Wrecker Command from Delta Three to Delta Five for any number of reasons.

			When he and his team had [[VEHICON ALERT!\|arrived]] via [[unspace\|transwarp]] portal, [[Apelinq (BM)\|Apelinq]] had attempted to inoculate them. But before he could finish and properly close the portal, he was attacked by a [[Vehicon General]] who plunged both [[Mirage (BM)\|himself]] and Apelinq into the portal, which then promptly closed behind them both.

			Primal Prime's meeting the legendary team known as the "[[Wreckers]]" reinvigorates him, even if [[Hot Rod (G1)\|Rodimus]] is now the sole remaining member. He is also surprised to find Rodimus rather receptive to Primal Prime taking command of the Wreckers, and senses an odd familiarity with the veteran [[Autobot]].

			With Apelinq missing in action, the newly-reformed Wreckers must prepare themselves for the coming battle.

'''New 'bots on the block.'''

==Synopsis==
''Date Index 316.292 [[AU]]''

Acting Commander [[Primal Prime]] writes this log: When he and his team had [[VEHICON ALERT!|arrived]] via [[unspace|transwarp]] portal, [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] had attempted to inoculate them. But before he could finish, he was attacked by a [[Vehicon general]] who plunged Apelinq into the portal as it closed behind them both. Primal Prime's meeting the [[Wreckers]] reinvigorates him, even if [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] is now the sole remaining member. He is also surprised to find Rodimus rather receptive to Primal Prime taking command of the Wreckers, and senses an odd familiarity with the [[Autobot]]. With Apelinq missing in action, the newly-reformed Wreckers must prepare themselves for the coming battle.
