	''As the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'' crashes to [[Earth]], [[Hound (G1)\|Hound]] is thrown from the ship, crashing to the planet and laying dormant for centuries until he is awoken by a signal from [[Jetfire (G1)\|Jetfire]]. The [[Autobot]] scout wanders the planet looking for [[Transformer\|his people]] until he comes across a battle at a [[~~The~~ Pit (G.I. Joe)\|secret military base]]. Taking the form of a jeep, he hides and waits, gathering information until one day, when [[Clutch (G.I. Joe)\|a human]] returns to the base... with [[Energon]] in hand!''

	Hound throws Clutch from the seat of his vehicle mode and transforms, demanding to know how the human has Energon. Clutch, terrified, grabs his pistol and immediately opens fire. Hound, annoyed, fires back. Clutch crawls to his bag and fishes out the souvenir he took from [[Cobra]]: an Energon grenade! He tosses it at Hound, critically injuring him, but the momentary pause allows him to get in a few words to talk Clutch down. Realizing his mistake, Clutch decides to help repair the Autobot. Knowing he can’t take him back to the Pit, he decides to take him to an old friend: [[Matt Trakker]].

	* Ravage has been out of commission for most of the Energon Universe since getting blasted by Optimus Prime in the first issue of ''Transformers''. When last readers saw him, he was revived by Megatron in [[Transformers (2023) issue 18\|''Transformers'' #18]].

	* Interestingly, Matt doesn't seem particularly ''surprised'' to see a giant robot (something Clutch takes notice of), even responding with a "Finally" like he was expecting something like this to happen. He also seems to have some familiarity with Cybertronian tech.

In a subtle bit of continuity, Nemesis Enforcer was seen crushing Buzzer's right wrist/forearm, leading to him having replaced his hand with his trademark chainsaw by the time of this story.
