Synopsis
Inside the Super Stunt Team's spaceship base, the five Mini-Cons construct a machine that will send Redline and Falcia into the Linkage, the Mini-Cons' shared "soul dimension". Once inside, the two seek out the mind of Twirl (whose Mini-Con storage panel was broken in battle) before it can diffuse forever into the Linkage, and bring it back to the physical world into a new body created by combining their own energies.
While in the Linkage, Redline notices something sinister...
The plan is a success, and Twirl is revived. She offers to help out everyone in any way, mostly via redecorating the ship. A mildly-bewildered Stella asks that since Twirl's body is a combination of Redline and Falcia's energies, if this makes her their baby. Both "parents" quickly and loudly deny this.

Notes
- This comic was available only with the seventh volume of the Micron Legend DVD in Japan, along with the exclusive Twirl toy. Later pressings of the DVD did not include either.
Transformers references
- Redline and Falcia plug energy cables into their toys' Powerlinx ports, a nice toy-driven detail.
- Falcia's energy-form bears a resemblance to Beast Wars Airazor's Transmetal form. Considering her name was inspired by an early working name of Airazor's, it's appropriate. Redline's resembles his pre-Earth robot mode.
- What's that glowy red thing Redline sees inside the Linkage? Well, it's the eye of Unicron, though that won't be confirmed for a bit. The comic continues to be coy about the Mini-Cons' connections to Unicron.
Miscellaneous trivia
- A lot of text in this episode with little action. But it's a vital setup for events in later issues, plus helps explain some of the things going on in the cartoon as well.
- Page four is not a bio, but an explanation of the Mini-Con "digital entity frame", exploring the Mini-Cons' unique physiology.
