Synopsis

[edit]

Following the Autobots' victory over the majority of the Decepticon forces when the villains were deactivated by the Quintesson killswitch, the Binaltech Project has been officially shut down by the Earth Defense Command. Information on Binaltech technology was publicly released, and has led to a rise in derivative products created by other companies and individuals, which have been progressively causing trouble for the Autobots.

While on patrol on Earth, Grimlock and Hound encounter Bluestreak—but not the Bluestreak that they know. This Bluestreak has come from another dimension, the original mainstream timeline from which the "BT World" was branched off, with news that the life core of the Prowl of the BT World, previously lost in a subspace accident, has materialized in his home dimension. Hound and Grimlock rush to escort Bluestreak back to Autobot City with this news, but on the way, they are delayed by the appearance of a rampaging phonon hologram: yet another knock-off human invention created with Binaltech technology. The trio make short work of the hologram and speed on their way.

Back at Autobot City, Bluestreak addresses Ultra Magnus and the assembled Autobots, explaining the situation. "Prowl II", the replacement Prowl powered by Chip Chase's lifeforce, confirms the feasibility of Bluestreak's story, but Bluestreak then continues with a grave warning: Prowl's life core has begun to destabilize as a result of an unknown energy signature emanating from the BT World. The Autobots mobilize to search for the source of the signal and save Prowl's life.

Notes

[edit]
  • This chapter of the Binaltech story was printed on the packaging of the Bluestreak Binaltech toy. It was released seven months after the last toy and story chapter, and was the first non-exclusive release since Skids (who came with "Darkest Hour") nearly three years beforehand.
  • If you didn't pick up on it, the Bluestreak who appears in this story is from the mainstream original Japanese The Transformers cartoon continuity, the world unaltered by all of the wild 'n' crazy time travel and history re-writing that has gone on in the Story of Binaltech. We find out in this chapter that the Binaltech Project died out at some point before 2005 in the mainstream timeline.
  • The loss of Prowl's life core was chronicled in the earlier story chapter "Prowl & Chase".
