Synopsis

Grimlock has decided that Soundwave has been in charge of the Transformers letters page far too long and it's time a Dinobot took charge. He smashes into the Marvel Comics building, being mistaken for a rat by a drunken homeless guy. Inside, the receptionist directs him to Soundwave's room as Grimlock wonders what to call the letters page—"'Lock's Letters" or "Grim Grams"? He reaches the door and smashes it open, but is horrified by what he sees. Meanwhile, a blond boy carries Soundwave's tape player mode out of the building, en route to America. Soundwave cannot help sniggering, for Grimlock has been buried by an avalanche of unopened mail!
