	[[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] chooses a team of "[[Spychanger\|Spy Changers]]" to accompany him to Strata 22, with altered bodies designed to more easily blend in to the new surroundings.

'''Six mysterious travelers unexpectedly end up on Strata 22.'''

==Synopsis==
Twenty-one strata away from GoBotron, the peaceful [[Autobot]]s of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] begin experiencing planetary disasters. Their scientists identify it as a bizarre side effect of quantum harmonics, where a world called [[Moebius]] on another dimension is overwriting Cybertron's existence. A [[Sky Spy]] is sent through the Reality Bridge and observes the [[GoBot]]s of [[Gobotron|GoBotron]], very similar to the Autobots' own designs.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] chooses a team of "[[Spy Changer]]s" to accompany him to Strata 22, with altered bodies designed to more easily blend in to the new surroundings. Once they arrive, however, their first encounter is with the overly-suspicious [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardian]] called [[Turbo (GoBots)|Turbo]], who believes them to be a new group of [[Renegade]]s. A fight breaks out, and Turbo summons other Guardians to help him battle the Spy Changers. This catches the attention of [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] and his Renegades, who arrive to aid the Spy Changers. The Renegades and Spy Changers escape together, but [[Bluestreak (G1)|Silverstreak]] is captured by the Guardians.

Cy-Kill attempts to manipulate the Autobots to his advantage, but Optimus Prime quickly recognizes his host's true nature. After learning about the Renegade bases on Moebius, he dispatches [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to contact [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] and form an alliance against the Renegades. Silverstreak has already explained the Spy Changers mission to his captors, and Scooter and A.J. believe the Autobots' purpose is benevolent.

[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] discover the Renegade bases on Moebius are acting like a crude [[Dimensional Interfacer]], draining Cybertron for power across the dimensional barriers. They destroy the bases, and the Spy Changers and Guardians join forces against the Renegades. Once Cy-Kill is driven off, Leader-1 and Optimus Prime shake hands respectfully and the Spy Changers depart back to their home reality.
