'''Spike is now a hero who gets a unique opportunity.'''
This issue contains two stories:


===Synopsis===
* "[[The Man of Steel]]"
Spike lies in a hospital, cared for by a number of nurses who seemingly forgot some part of their clothing...
* "[[Hidden (G1)|Hidden]]"
He is visited by three officials, who have an offer for him, but first want to know how he got into the miserable state he is in.
Spike tells them that after the main [[Decepticon]] force war driven off, he became part of a team whose mission was to find any remaining robots, hidden and / or (partially) incapacitated and deactivate them. After a while, they stumbled across Ravage, who very nearly ended his life, but Spike finally made it, though badly hurt.


The visitors reveal that [[Skywatch]] shall become an international organization with the purpose of protecting earth from alien (read: [[Transformer]]) danger, and they want Spike to be the head of its strike force. He agrees, but is none to happy when he thereafter gets to know that [[Sparkplug Witwicky|his father]] is overall chief of Skywatch.
See individual articles for details.

* With the downfall of Agent [[Joshua Red]], the elevation of Spike Witwicky and the anti-Transformer mission of Skywatch, this issue begins [[IDW Publishing]]'s thematic shift for their ''Generation 1''-based ''Transformers'' comic to adopt a tone and visual style that resembles the [[Live-action film series|live-action ''Transformers'' film series]]. This probably annoys ''[[All Hail Megatron]]'' creator and noted live-action ''Transformers'' critic [[Shane McCarthy]].

After the departure of the [[Decepticon]]s, the human military hunted down any remaining Transformers.  Somehow Bumblebee got separated from his team in the ruins of [[New York City]].  He managed to avoid capture until he revealed his location to save some humans from a falling building.  He was injured by the military but saved but the arrival of the Autobots.

* Bumblebee appears not in his IDW body, but in a design that resembles the Bumblebee Guido Guidi drew for [[:Image:Infiltration_1d.jpg|one of the covers]] of [[Infiltration issue 1]].  (The same mistake was made in the Avengers crossover.  Perhaps Bumblebee occasionally moonlights in this design?)
* In fact, most of the Autobots are not in their IDW bodies.  Ratchet in particular is strictly based on [[:Image:Ratchetg1.jpg|this IDW art by Guido]], and he has [[Ratchet (Animated)|''Animated'' Ratchet]]'s rescue logos on his shoulders to boot.
