Following their disappearance, the Pretenders and Spike continue to try to learn where they are as an old enemy reawakens...
Synopsis
Spike glumly walks the streets of the city of Merida, reflecting on how he and the Pretenders first arrived on this Earth- With all the cities and animals on the planet. Just no Humans. That is, until Spike and the others showed up. He's shaken out of his reverie by a nearby car-crash, where he's able to pull a father and daughter out of the wreckage with the aid of Vroom and Crossblades. After lending a helping hand, they step into the crowd that's gathered to observe the crash- Though not without being noticed by a mysterious stranger...
Back at the apartment Spike, Vroom, and Crossblades call home, they're immediately questioned by Metalhawk about their activities before Elizabeth informs Spike that she has his brother on live vidchat. After a brief discussion over Spike's apparent rebellious nature, Spike uses the distraction of Buster's son saying hello to put the call to an end, and lead the Pretenders and Elizabeth out for dinner. Over Italian, the five of them discuss how little progress they've made on figuring out the mystery of this Earth. After finishing their meal, the five prepare to walk back home... But as they're leaving, a man grabs Elizabeth and holds them at gunpoint, demanding their money, and when none of them cough up any cash, he shoots Spike in the chest...
Elsewhere, Ramjet awakens from another stellar cycle of meditation, failing to understand the current universe he finds himself in. Despite being trapped in solid matter after he teleported to this universe, he's conserved enough energy to break free of his physical prison and reformat to a new body. As he muses on the lack of Unicron's touch on this universe, he resolves to find something else that has been touched by evil, and use it to tear this dimension apart!

Quotes
Notes
- Where are Spike and the Pretenders? The existence of this Earth- and the dimension they're currently in is regarded as unusual, as Spike says that prior to Humans arriving, he remarked how interesting it was watching Earth animals interact with the natives.
- Spike and Friends have garnered a stalker from the looks of it! Just who exactly is this older fellow?
- Ramjet highlights the uniqueness of this reality by claiming that it is and always will be devoid of Unicron.
Errors
Continuity notes
- Spike and the Pretenders vanished at the end of Another Light, much to their fellow Autobot's confusion.
- Spike refers to Fortress Maximus being dead- But the last we saw of him in Invasion, the two of them were still merged together. Thought in The Future Buried... Spike wasn't wearing his binairy-bond armor...
- We last saw Ramjet in Balancing Act and Revelations, where Vector Prime banished him to... Somewhere? When we see him at the end of the issue, it looks like he was sent to the dimension that Spike now finds himself in.
Transformers references
- The Pretenders seen thus far, Crossblades, Metalhawk, and Vroom are regular human-sized instead of the usual height of Pretenders, in what is probably a nod to Super-God Masterforce
Real-world references
- Metalhawk says that they're currently in Yucatan- A state in the country of Mexico. It's not until the next issue that it's clarified that they're in Merida.
Other trivia
- As noted previously, this series is a promotion for the Collector's Club toys for 2016- With the new toy for Ramjet being shown off at the end of the issue.
