The Curse of the Pyramids
In a rainy night, Goldbug reads a human book on pyramids, learning of their technical measurements and eerie powers. He is so captivated by what he learns that he sets out to study the great pyramid of Gizah the next day.
Alongside Stealth, who acts as his personal transport to Egypt, he begins to explore the ancient structure and notices similarities to the way that Autobot spaceships are constructed. Going by this theory, the duo finds a large chamber adorned with strange wall paintings which show a god-like stranger arriving in a giant ship, being worshiped by the locals, and aiding the construction of the pyramids by commanding the sunlight.
The Ark's central computer informs them that the depictions can only refer to an alien using a spaceship and beam devices. Investigating further, the two Autobots find another painting which clearly shows the stranger to sport an Autobot symbol on his chest. Shortly thereafter, the Ark's computer informs them that the stranger's name is or contains "Imus". The duo immediately infers that it it had to be the currently-missing Optimus Prime! However, the computer points out that this would be highly unlikely and only possible via time travel.
And with that, the riddle ultimately remains unsolved... for now. (source)

- Another puzzle hosted by Divebomb, this time of Mirage fighting a Jhiaxus-colored Seeker. Both Mirage and Divebomb are given exactly the same color scheme.

Reprints
Notes
- Part 1 of the comic is titled "Space Mission Unicron", part 2 is "Mission Unicron - At the Beginning of all Time", part 3 is "Mission Unicron - The Countdown is Running..." and part 4 is "Mission Unicron - A Planet on the Brink".
- The reprint of Legacy of Unicron suddenly shifts to the 5-6 pages per part format of Marvel UK issues #298-301.
- The text story seems to follow a loosely pieced-together version of the Marvel G1 continuity in which Goldbug has somehow defeated Unicron on Planet junk while Optimus Prime is missing.
- The story also makes mention of an previously-unknown Autobot called "Stealth" who seems to be some kind of plane, presumably a stealth bomber.
- It might furthermore be the earliest story to pose the idea that the great pyramids were built by Transformers. A time-traveling Optimus Prime, to be precise.
- Goldbug does not read the human book directly. Instead, he employs a scanning device that translates the human writing and projects the translation onto the Ark's computer screen.
