	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	Outside the [[Autobot]] base at [[Mount Astrogate]], Servo reunites with Rollbar and also talks with High Wire, noting that the bike-former actually met up with "them". Servo then relays that Redline saw "the terrible one" during his journey into the [[Linkage (dimension)\|Linkage]] and has begun working hard on unlocking the [[Master Key]], which he believes can grant their race true freedom. Rollbar is doubtful, and High Wire asks Servo to come back to the Autobots with them, but Servo politely refuses, relaying Redline's message "Prepare for the transformation."

	After they say their goodbyes, Servo explains the plan to Falcia and Twirl, who were guarding the trio. Falcia notes she'll stick with Redline for now, having seen the same horror while in the Linkage...prompting Twirl to giggle about families sticking together. This prompts Falcia to try and injure Twirl.		After they say their goodbyes, Servo explains the plan to Falcia and Twirl, who were guarding the trio.

	Meanwhile, a [[Seeker Bug]] has located the Mini-Cons' [[Scavenger's ship\|spaceship base]] off the coast of the northwestern [[Hawaii]]an Islands. The Aqua Raider Team are dispatched to the area, under orders to capture a few for experimentation and kill the others. Meanwhile, the Speed Chaser Team are in [[Antarctica]], receiving a pair of mysterious objects from Sideways and Mirror: a large metal casket, and a container with a [[Doomstone\|mysterious, glowing gem]]....

	* The "them" Servo refers to when talking to High Wire are the three [[human]] children [[Rad White\|Rad]], [[Carlos Lopez ~~(Armada)~~\|Carlos]] and [[Alexis Thi Dang ~~(Armada)~~\|Alexis]], since in the ''Armada'' cartoon, these three children turn out to be the reason the Mini-Cons developed souls and free will, starting with High Wire.

	* High Wire, Sideways and Mirror are drawn really toy-like, rather than using their more simplified cartoon models. This is simply Ichikawa's general preference for drawing the more detailed toy models...plus since that's how he'd been drawing the Linkage-original characters, cartoon models would clash heavily.		* High Wire, Sideways and Mirror are drawn really toy-like, rather than using their more simplified cartoon models.

	* The thing Redline saw in the last issue is explained somewhat as the eyes of "the terrible one". Though it's not explicitly said who that is, it's the Mini-Cons' creator, [[Unicron]]. Again, because the DVD episodes hadn't revealed him yet, he's not explicitly named.		* The thing Redline saw in the last issue is explained somewhat as the eyes of "the terrible one".

	* Sideways has been absent from the cartoon storyline since the episode "[[Awakening (Armada)\|Awakening]]" (released on the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)#Home video releases\|previous disc]]), where he seemed to come back from the dead to taunt both the Autobots and [[Decepticon]]s, his allegiance to a shadowy, unnamed menace revealed back in "[[Chase (episode)\|Chase]]".
