	Where previous messages were aimed at mere recruitment into [[S.T.A.R.S.]], this one is directed at [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]]'s choice for S.T.A.R.S. Commander. The message is from Magnus directly, who informs the [[human]] recipient that ~~he or she~~ must learn more about the [[Transformer]]s to serve in this new rank. He begins a visualization exercise, giving brief descriptions of nine Transformers and telling the reader to use "the special power you humans call 'imagination'" to picture what it would be like to ''be'' those robots.

	With that training phase completed, Ultra Magnus returns to the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]], and an unidentified narrator tells the reader to "requisition" the Transformers ~~he or she wants~~ to command. [[S.O.S. Dinobots\|Some]] [[The Ultimate Doom\|videos]] are also available for further study, too; they'll let ~~you~~ review the raging Autobot-Decepticon conflict at ~~your~~ leisure. Oddly, the basic S.T.A.R.S. membership kit (described as "top secret") is presented as well, suggesting that Magnus has chosen the S.T.A.R.S. leadership from ''outside'' the organization. The reader is especially urged to requisition the [[Omnibot (G1)\|Omnibot]]s, as they are "destined to fight a war in another universe on [[March 31]], [[1987]]" if the reader does not order them first.
