After discovering that the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] had left a message in the head of Buster Witwicky giving details of future [[Transformer|Transformers]], the [[Autobot|Autobots]] attach him to scanning equipment to try and decipher the message. This causes Buster to dream that he is being chased across a desert by Shockwave. Buster is eventually rescued by Superion, who blasts Shockwave, only to be floored by Menasor. During the confusion Buster escapes but is ambushed by the [[Combaticon|Combaticons]] who combine into Bruticus. The fear causes Buster to jolt awake.

</table> The Autobots and Decepticons learn the secrets of the next generation of combining Transformers due to a <strike>commercial</strike> message left in Buster’s mind by the Creation Matrix.

Synopsis

This story follows up (in part) on the events of Victory! from the 1987 UK Annual.

After discovering that the Creation Matrix had left a message in the head of Buster Witwicky giving details of future Transformers, the Autobots attach him to scanning equipment to try and decipher the message. This causes Buster to dream that he is being chased across a desert by Shockwave. Buster is eventually rescued by Superion, who blasts Shockwave, only to be floored by Menasor. During the confusion Buster escapes but is ambushed by the Combaticons who combine into Bruticus. The fear causes Buster to jolt awake.

In order to better interpret and control the dreams Buster and Optimus Prime are linked together mentally. Little do they know that the Decepticons are tapping into the images by using the equipment that Shockwave designed to extract the Matrix from Prime’s disembodied head. The Next Best Thing to Being There!

The new vision shows the Protectobots evacuating an unnamed power plant. Blades then spots what he believes to be a group of human vehicles heading towards the plant. The Protectobots move to head them off only to find that it is the Stunticons. The Stunticons combine into Menasor, much to the delight of the watching Shockwave, who is impressed with the quality of the combination compared to the Constructicons.

The Protectobots combine into Defensor and quickly gain the upper hand. Soon, however, the Combaticons arrive and merge into Bruticus. Menasor and Bruticus overpower Defensor but are caught unaware when the Aerialbots arrive and combine into Superion. Superion and Defensor quickly gain the upper hand and defeat the Decepticons. At this point Optimus Prime and Buster awake, impressed by what they have seen.

Meanwhile Soundwave is reporting events to Megatron who he is secretly in contact with. Megatron decides that it is time he retook control of the Decepticons from Shockwave. Megatron and Shockwave engage in battle, with Robot-Master providing commentary as the battle is broadcast to the world.

At the Ark, the Autobots watch the battle but decide not to interfere, devoting their energies to developing the new Special Teams. Prime's work is interrupted by an alarm in the medical bay... the Dinobots have finally awoken, and are back to their old cranky selves.

At the coal mine, Soundwave note that the two combatants are equally matched, and are basically making a laughingstock of themselves. Their battle only ends when Soundwave impertinently tells them to stop. Equally outraged, Megatron and Shockwave allow Soundwave to show them how similar they are, and they agree to a joint leadership.

Meanwhile, an electronic signal arrives at the distant world of Cybertron...

Errors

  • At one point Menasor orders Dead End (as his right arm) to shoot Superion. However it is Drag Strip that is drawn. This was corrected in the Collected Comics reprint but the Titan Books reprint uses the original page.
  • Vortex appears colourised as Blades on his arrival. Soundwave explained in a letters page that he has special circuitry which allows him to change his colour to disguise himself as Blades, but also made it clear that he had just made that explanation up on the spot.
  • Cybertron was originally in orbit around Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own Sun at 4.37 light years' distance. It is therefore highly unlikely that Cybertron now resides in "a galaxy far, far beyond our own". It's more likely that it is in a solar system far beyond our own, given the high frequency with which "solar system" and "galaxy" are confused in Transformers fiction.

Items of note

On a single page, you can find three John Stokes panels (above) swiped from panels from a single page of Herb Trimpe's work in "Prime Time!".
  • Issue #63 came with a free gift, a fold out pamphlet themed around the Special Teams. The pamphlet had spaces to stick collectors cards which were included in the following issues up to issue #70.
  • Artist John Stokes constantly "swipes" art from previous US issues, such as panels from Ricardo Villamonte's work in "The Next Best Thing to Being There!", Herb Trimpe's work in "Prime Time!", and Don Perlin's work in "I, Robot-Master!".
  • Seriously, these swipes litter the book.
  • The power plant section of this story was used along with elements from the cartoon series episodes, "The Key to Vector Sigma", "War Dawn" and "Starscream's Brigade" to produce the UK audio story "The Special Teams".
