Synopsis

Ultra Magnus apprehends the Decepticon criminal Swindle. However, Swindle decides to make Ultra Magnus a deal: his freedom in exchange for Scorponok's location. Realizing that Scorponok's capture would be far more important that Swindle's, and knowing that he would easily be able to catch Swindle the next time he got himself in trouble, Ultra Magnus agrees. The information leads him to Nebulos, where he finds that Scorponok is using businessman Mo Zarak's corporation as a front for his own activities. Using a holomatter disguise, Ultra Magnus penetrates into the very heart of the facility and discovers what appears to be a Nebulan whose body has been almost entirely re-engineered with Cybertronian technology; in short, a transforming Nebulan. Shortly after discovering this, his hologram is detected and destroyed, and Ultra Magnus reenters the facility via less subtle means and confronts Scorponok. In the ensuing battle Mo Zarak, afraid that all his work will be lost, tries to stop Scorponok and is killed in the crossfire. Ultra Magnus takes advantage of Scorponok's distraction at having killed Mo Zarak and shoots him in the face. Scorponok, distraught over the loss of his research, flees through an artificial wormhole generator. Some months later, Ultra Magnus finds himself taking Swindle into custody once more. As Swindle once again tries to bargain his way out of trouble, Ultra Magnus wonders just how many compromises he'll make in order to get Scorponok.
