	Alone on the side of the road, Verity sticks out her thumb at the next car and is picked up by an intense young man named [[Hunter O'Nion]], who is rather self-conscious about his last name. Verity tries to figure out why a kid like him is in the middle of nowhere. After Verity grills him about his alien paraphernalia, O'Nion exasperatedly reveals why he's come to the desert, only to swerve suddenly when he spies trouble up ahead.

After Verity grills him about his alien paraphernalia, O'Nion exasperatedly reveals why he's come to the desert, only to swerve suddenly when he spies trouble up ahead.

	The two take a detour and discover that Verity's bus has been run off the road by two sports cars. Everyone's okay, except that the businessman whose palmtop Verity stole is missing. As the two depart, O'Nion explains his story: he runs a [[Mechatopia\|website]] devoted to alien conspiracy theories. Two years ago, he claims, [[Earth]] was invaded by aliens, and not just ''any'' aliens: these extraterrestrial visitors are, according to his findings, gigantic mechanoids who have escaped [[human]] detection by disguising themselves.

	A skeptical Verity has a good laugh at his expense... until a red light floods Hunter's van. Seconds later, the two humans realize that it's a scanning beam emitted by [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|a blue fighter jet]], who, on Starscream's orders, "contains" the two humans as they flee from their van, blowing their only means of escape to bits, and then prepares to "purge" the humans. Verity wonders if they can talk down the jet, but Hunter reveals that he got a good look at the jet's cockpit — and there's nobody inside!

	As the jet comes around for another pass, the two humans try and make a break for it, but don't expect to be saved by [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|an ambulance]], who zooms to their rescue and sends the jet fleeing with a roof-mounted cannon.

	* The use of Ratchet and Thundercracker as primary characters in this introduction to IDW's continuity may homage early stories of the [[Marvel Comics continuity]]. Specifically, Ratchet was the lead protagonist in [[Bob Budiansky]]'s [[The New Order\|first]] [[The Worse of Two Evils!\|story]] [[Warrior School!\|arc]] for the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|US comic book]]. Thundercracker, meanwhile, served as a main antagonist (or ''the'' main antagonist, [[Man of Iron (issue)#Production notes\|depending upon the version and the coloring]]) for the first original story appearing in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK\|Marvel UK comic]], "[[Man of Iron (issue)\|Man of Iron]]".		* The use of Ratchet and Thundercracker as primary characters in this introduction to IDW's continuity may homage early stories of the [[Marvel Comics continuity]].

	* Further, the emphasis on Transformers remaining disguised in alternate modes, even throughout battles, also seems to homage [[Man of Iron (issue)\|Man of Iron]]. Other than Starscream's shadowed back, no Decepticons are seen in robot mode in this issue, similar to how only alt-mode Decepticons appeared until the very end of the Man of Iron storyline.		* Further, the emphasis on Transformers remaining disguised in alternate modes, even throughout battles, also seems to homage [[Man of Iron (issue)\|Man of Iron]].

	A skeptical Verity has a good laugh at his expense... until a red light floods Hunter's van. Seconds later, the two humans realize that it's a scanning beam emitted by [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|a blue fighter jet]], who, on Starscream's orders, "contains" the two humans as they flee from their van, blowing their only means of escape to bits, and then prepares to "purge" the humans. Verity wonders if they can talk down the jet, but Hunter reveals that he got a good look at the jet's cockpit — and there's nobody's inside!

The ambulance's smiling driver reveals himself and tells them that, if they want to live, they'd better come with him!
