Fiction
[edit]Hearts of Steel
[edit]The Insectrain smashed through a human train carrying a huge amount of wealth from the Federal mint in Denver to Sacramento. It then separated into its component robots to rob the train and bring the wealth contained to Starscream. Hearts of Steel #2
"Strange Visitors" establishes that events identical to those of Hearts of Steel and Infestation 2 occur in the 2005 IDW continuity; however, they happened to Maximal explorers brainwashed by Shockwave into believing they were the Autobots and Decepticons of the Great War.
Notes
[edit]- The name Insectrain was never used in the fiction, but comes from the concept art in the back of the trade paperback.
