	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	For millions of years, the war between the [[Autobot~~\|Autobots~~]], the [[Decepticon~~\|Decepticons~~]], and more recently the [[Mini-Con~~\|Mini-Cons~~]] has raged, until [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] was attacked by the evil creator of the Mini-Cons, [[Unicron]]! During the Unicron Battles, all sides worked together to stop the monster planet, and succeeded. With the loss of [[Megatron (Armada)\|Galvatron]], however, the Decepticons have scattered, while the Autobots work together with both the Mini-Cons and their human allies to rebuild their home. [[Jetfire (Armada)\|Jetfire]] leads the Mini-Cons [[Cliffjumper (Armada)\|Cliffjumper]] and [[Refute (Armada)\|Refute]] along with human ally [[Stella Holley]], welding the planet back together. Suddenly, the four are alerted when a group of [[Seeker (body-type)\|Seekers]] fly on by; Cliffjumper wonders if they should report to [[Optimus Prime (Armada)\|Optimus]], but Jetfire holds her back, not believing the Decepticons are a cause for concern...for now.

	The Seekers—[[Starscream (Armada)\|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (Armada)\|Skywarp]], and [[Thundercracker (Armada)\|Thundercracker]]—arrive at their base in the [[Wastelands]], the most desolate area of Cybertron. Entering their compound, the trio is greeted by the mad scientist [[Predacon (Armada)\|Predacon]], who asks if they've found any more Mini-Cons for his experiments. Skywarp and Thundercracker both report negative, noting that no one really ''wants'' to go through Predacon's experiments. Macabre as ever, Starscream figures they could "persuade" some Mini-Cons, and Skywarp, disgusted by his cousin, pushes Starscream back, with Thundercracker remembering all too well what happened to [[Swindle (Armada)\|Swindle]]. Unfazed, Starscream pushes Skywarp even further, asking him about what happened to [[Thunderclash (Armada)\|Thunderclash]]. Predacon tries to break up the fight, worried that an Autobot might find them...and one does, as Jetfire blasts through the wall! Skywarp, all business, tells Thundercracker and Starscream to help Predacon gather up his work as he takes on Jetfire. Skywarp's missiles don't impress the Autobot, who throws up his shield just in time, and promises to show him how a quick draw is done, powering up his gun to fire off a massive blast. At the last second, Skywarp uses his ability to teleport, warping in right behind Jetfire and disarming him. However, with the others making their escape, Skywarp lets him go, promising that they'll meet again.

	* Predacon's depiction as a mad scientist comes from his ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile, which showed how he was attempting to graft organic tissue to mechanical Cybertronians. Notably, only one of his Mini-Con partners, Skid-Z, appears in this comic, with his own profile indicating that though he was eager to undergo Predacon's experiments, he was incompatible with the process. Predacon's other partner, the Autobot spy [[Side Burn (Armada)\|Side Burn]], is missing; he was noted to be compatible, but unwilling to undergo experimentation. With his profile noting that he was always worried about Predacon finding out about him, this comic hints that he was eventually found out, and presumably, was one of the Mini-Cons experimented on by his former partner.		* Predacon's depiction as a mad scientist comes from his ''More than Meets the Eye'' profile, which showed how he was attempting to graft organic tissue to mechanical Cybertronians.
