Template:Comicnav The Autobots, now restored, strike a deal with G.B. Blackrock. But one of his former employees has other plans.
Synopsis
G.B. Blackrock plans to unveil a new weapon designed to destroy the Transformers, and visits Josie Beller in her hospital room to update her on the situation. She, in turn, shows Blackrock some technology she's been working on from her hospital bed, causing Blackrock to worry that she may put herself in another dangerous situation in her desire for revenge against the robots who crippled her. These fears are warranted when Josie escapes from her hospital room, and shows up in Blackrock's office as Circuit Breaker, wearing a metal suit designed to compensate for her damaged nervous system and granting her offensive capability against any mechanical form. The Autobots, revived from their imprisonment aboard the Ark, seek a new solution to their fuel shortage, and Jazz strikes a deal with G.B. Blackrock to provide him with protection from the Decepticons in exchange for fuel. The unveiling of Blackrock's secret weapon is sabotaged by Circuit Breaker, in an effort to get him to announce her as his intended weapon. When the Decepticons attack, the situation is made even worse when Autobots Jazz and Wheeljack appear to make good on their promise to provide Blackrock with protection. Circuit Breaker, unable to discern between Autobot and Decepticon, severely injures Wheeljack as the Decepticons escape. Although Circuit Breaker spares Jazz at Blackrock's pleading, she severs her ties with him.
