Heatwave and Soundwave find that Earth is a strange, surreal place.
Synopsis
This story follows the events of "Do Over"
Having landed on Earth, Heatwave tracks a transponder signal through the night. Arriving at the signal's source in Wyatt's Roadsideaganza, he tries not to panic—but a series of animalistic assailants gives him a moment of serious freaking out. After defeating two dinosaurs and the world's largest woodchuck, he finds Soundwave immobilized and incorporated into the displays. Heatwave kindly asks Soundwave's stasis pod to restore his comrade to functionality. Soundwave scans an Earth mode, and the two depart in search of Soundwave's cassette troops. Soundwave sets the pod to self-destruct, to Heatwave's mild dismay—"he was a nice guy", he says.
This story is continued in "Eye in the Sky".
