==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
Despite taking pride in his ability to transport things, [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] finds it difficult to continue his line of work at [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]] now that he's a tiny [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] and can barely carry a couple of [[energon cube]]s. He demands a [[transtector]], but [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] explains that with [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and [[Devil Z]] out of the picture, the company can no longer build them. Astrotrain argues how important his function is to the Decepticons, only for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to offer to transport cargo in his car carrier mode instead, effectively replacing poor Astrotrain. While drowning his sorrows, he runs into Tarantulas, who's escaped prison and is on the run, and agrees to hide him from the law... in exchange for a transtector.

He demands a [[transtector]], but [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] explains that with [[Tarantulas (Legends)|Tarantulas]] and [[Devil Z]] out of the picture, the company can no longer build them. Astrotrain argues how important his function is to the Decepticons, only for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to offer to transport cargo in his car carrier mode instead, effectively replacing poor Astrotrain. While drowning his sorrows, he runs into Tarantulas, who's escaped prison and is on the run, and agrees to hide him from the law... in exchange for a transtector.


Tarantulas finishes the new body, and is shocked when Astrotrain next orders him to mass-produce it. His plan is to form an [[Astro Corps]] by creating [[Astrotrain Transport Company|his own company]] and attracting other bodiless Headmasters from both sides by offering them free transtectors. With his new troops, he will then crush both Tera-Kura and [[Axalon Trading Company|Autobot Axalon]] and build his Astrotrain Empire! Using his new body, he drops fliers all over the city, attracting the attention of [[Shūta Gō]] and [[Bullhorn (Masterforce)|Bullhorn]], the last [[Headmaster Junior]]s who haven't found employment. They show up at the company alongside many others and, despite finding their new boss demanding absolute loyalty and threatening anyone who opposes him with death, accepts the job for the sake of the transtectors. The employees begin transporting cargo far and wide thanks to their shuttle modes allowing them to bypass traffic jams.

The employees begin transporting cargo far and wide thanks to their shuttle modes allowing them to bypass traffic jams.


However, Shūta and the rest soon find themselves overworked, with Astrotrain refusing to let them rest, eat or go home. He reveals that they're not his employees but his ''slaves'', and activates restraint devices that locks the Headmasters to their bodies. He then turns on Tarantulas and blasts him before sending his slaves to attack the Autobots as the first step towards his conquest of the [[Legends Universe]] and creation of his empire. Unfortunately, his plan backfires when the exhausted, starving Headmasters prove unfit for combat and begin collapsing—in fact, their bodies are so low on energy that the restraint devices deactivate! The Headmasters run off, leaving their transtectors crashing into Astrotrain and burying him. With his ambition in ruins, Astrotrain ends up using the last remaining transtector to run a commuting service instead.

*Astrotrain's fliers depict the body on offer in the colors of his western mold-mate, [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|''Titans Return'' Sentinel Prime]].

{{#switch:{{#sub:xx|2|14}}|dark cybertron=}}

Angered over losing his primary function, Astrotrain forms his own company as part of a nefarious plan.

Synopsis

[edit]

Despite taking pride in his ability to transport things, Astrotrain finds it difficult to continue his line of work at Decepticon Tera-Kura Co. now that he's a tiny Headmaster and can barely carry a couple of energon cubes. He demands a transtector, but Megatron explains that with Tarantulas and Devil Z out of the picture, the company can no longer build them. Astrotrain argues how important his function is to the Decepticons, only for Ultra Magnus to offer to transport cargo in his car carrier mode instead, effectively replacing poor Astrotrain. While drowning his sorrows, he runs into Tarantulas, who's escaped prison and is on the run, and agrees to hide him from the law... in exchange for a transtector.

Tarantulas finishes the new body, and is shocked when Astrotrain next orders him to mass-produce it. His plan is to reform the Astroforce by creating his own company and attracting other bodiless Headmasters from both sides by offering them free transtectors. With his new troops, he will then crush both Tera-Kura and Autobot Axalon and build his Astrotrain Empire! Using his new body, he drops fliers all over the city, attracting the attention of Shūta Gō and Bullhorn, the last Headmaster Juniors who haven't found employment. They show up at the company alongside many others and, despite finding their new boss demanding absolute loyalty and threatening anyone who opposes him with death, accepts the job for the sake of the transtectors. The employees begin transporting cargo far and wide thanks to their shuttle modes allowing them to bypass traffic jams.

However, Shūta and the rest soon find themselves overworked, with Astrotrain refusing to let them rest, eat or go home. He reveals that they're not his employees but his slaves, and activates restraint devices that locks the Headmasters to their bodies. He then turns on Tarantulas and blasts him before sending his slaves to attack the Autobots as the first step towards his conquest of the Legends World and creation of his empire. Unfortunately, his plan backfires when the exhausted, starving Headmasters prove unfit for combat and begin collapsing—in fact, their bodies are so low on energy that the restraint devices deactivate! The Headmasters run off, leaving their transtectors crashing into Astrotrain and burying him. With his ambition in ruins, Astrotrain ends up using the last remaining transtector to run a commuting service instead.

Notes

[edit]

Transformers references

[edit]
  • Nekomimi A appears on a billboard.
  • Astrotrain recreates the Astroforce he commanded in "Triple Takeover".
  • Astrotrain's fliers depict the body on offer in the colors of his western mold-mate, Titans Return Sentinel Prime. The head is a Titans Return Fangry colored as an anime-accurate Wilder, whose Legends toy never materialized.
  • Flywheels and Brawn are silently present in anticipation of their own toys, which would be released at Wonder Festival 2017 some weeks after this comic's release.
  • A car in front of Chromedome in the traffic jam looks very similar to Sunstreaker, only without the exposed rear engine.
  • Astrotrain mentioning that he used to be a fugitive comes from a line in the Japanese dub of the episode The Gambler.
