Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. Please give an expiry date ({{spoiler|(story)|DATE}}) - either the date of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner

An unidentified Transformer appearing to be severely damaged speaks with Dante of the Machination about replacing its body.

In Brasnya, Megatron and Prime have a colossal battle while the other Autobots skirmish with the Decepticons. Hot Rod captures Georgi Koska. But Megatron's Ore-13 power allows him to beat Prime to seeming death and crush Roller beneath rubble.

In Fort Wayne, a worried Ironhide smashes through the auto-parts store to find out what happened to Jimmy and Verity and discovers them unconscious (gassed) and a timer counting down.

In a followup to Spotlight: Shockwave, an archaeological dig in Eureka has been taken over by Skywatch, and have halfway dug out Shockwave and the Dinobots.
