Synopsis
On Velocitron, the Speedia 500 race is held to determine the leader of the planet. Thus, many competitors from across worlds, each boastful of their own speed, have gathered to win! Cosmos provides commentary.
Blurr, having won many races prior, uses his superspeed to make an early lead. Road Rocket isn't so easily left behind, using ninja techniques to seemingly jump from one location to another. The human-AI robot duo of Dia Burnout takes another tactic, scaling the sheer cliff bordering the race track for a short cut. Road Hauler's own idea is to use his crane to nullify the danger of falling boulders; the former Constructicon hopes to build a big bridge on the planet with his friends if he wins.
A black tank lorry looms in the horizon... how will his race end?

Notes
Continuity notes
Transformers references
- The spectators (and race queen) correspond to the characters showcased in this comic:
- Swerve was part of the crew of the Lost Light in 2005 IDW continuity along with Blurr. Fitting, as this Blurr toy is directly based on his 2005 IDW incarnation.
- Nightbird and Road Rocket were linked in their backstories in Legends (also by Sakamoto), due to the fact that they are both ninja. This version Road Rocket being based on kunoichi (female ninja) also serves as another connection.
- Lift-Ticket shares Burnout's origins as an initially unused Diaclone color scheme that was much later used for exclusive toys for BotCon 2015. In that convention's accompanying fiction, both were presented as mecha from a Diaclone universe with accompanying human pilots, a portrayal that influences at least Burnout in this comic.
- Devastator, the combined form of the main six Constructions, is linked to Road Hauler, presented in his initial backstory as a former Constructicon. Curiously, this comic uses the traditional Japanese name, "Buildron", to refer to this group.
