	The only public details available are several pieces of concept art, and an excerpt of the pitch, both of which were included in the trade collection of Sins of ~~The~~ Wreckers.

	The plot centred on a squad of "superpowered" [[~~Autobots~~]], consisting of [[Mirage (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Mirage]], [[Windcharger (G1)\|Windcharger]], [[Blurr (G1)\|Blurr]] and [[Hubcap (G1)\|Hubcap]], who would be led by the non-powered but experienced Special Ops soldier [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]]. Also involved would be the ~~teams~~ sponsor [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ultra Magnus]] and the traumatised [[Wreckers\|Wrecker]] leader [[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Springer]]. Magnus would have founded the team to investigate the threat posed by what appeared to be a rogue group of Decepticons, with access to various types of advanced stealth technology. These include cloaking devices, and the ability to [[Chimeracon\|disguise themselves as organic creatures]].

	The [[Decepticon]] group's primary figures include [[Banzai-Tron (G1)\|Banzai-Tron]] (having abandoned his position of head of the Decepticon Secret Services) and [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]]. Their overall goal was to covertly remove all [[Ore-13]] from [[Earth]], to render the planet tactically worthless. Their plans also involved "dimensional pathways" and the [[Noisemaze (dimension)\|Noisemaze]]. The Autobot group would have come into conflict with them during the course of their investigations.

	[[Verity Carlo]] and [[Stakeout (G1)\|Stakeout]] would also have appeared. A sequence described in the pitch sees them fighting off the "Bio-Con" [[Polar Claw]]. While they do ~~mange~~ to defeat the Decepticon, his body dematerialises before it can be analysed.		[[Verity Carlo]] and [[Stakeout (G1)\|Stakeout]] would also have appeared.
