Optimus Prime finds some magic mushroom.
Synopsis
The Autobots and Decepticons had been locked in an epic war until energon was discovered on Earth. Now both sides fight for control, and the Powerlinx Battles have begun!
Optimus Prime and Hot Shot are down, with Megatron, Snow Cat, Mirage, Demolishor, and Shockblast all standing ready to finish them. But just as all seems lost, Wing Saber arrives, combining with Optimus Prime. The pair blows away the Decepticons, then switches to flight mode as Megatron attacks from the air. Megatron is shocked that his foe can fly now, but Prime informs him that "with teamwork, you can do anything Megatron." [sic]
Optimus Prime speculates that Wing Saber will enable them to protect the area's energon.

Notes
- As Dreamwave was well on the road to total meltdown at this point, the comic is a translation of the manga produced by Japanese artist Naoto Tsushima to be packed in with certain Super Link toys.
- It appears that all the love and care that went into the cartoon dub was likewise applied to this comic. Choice dialog selections include "Megatron is flying in fast!" and "You're flying? Optimus can't fly! What is happening?"
- Pain count:
- Let's do it: 1
- It's time to: 1
- We're a team: 1
- You're just in time: 1
- The flip half of the booklet features a catalog of Energon toys, including the three combiner teams and the various larger-sized late-run redecos.
- This mini-comic was also available as a "Conventions 2004 Exclusive Mini Comic" in a larger format, paired with the Volume 3 catalog. The convention version featured a fold-out front cover with conceptual design sketches of various Energon toys. The actual comic was missing the first introductory page, however.
