Synopsis

Completely optional events are italicised

Cosmos is sent to investigate an explosion that seems to indicate Decepticon activity. He discovers a secret Decepticon base where they are deceloping a weapon they once tested on Cybertron, the anti-gravity gun.

Cosmos is captured, and Hook builds a replica of him with a powerful proton bomb inside to send back to the Autobots. Cosmis escapes, and must make a desperate flight across the desert to reach his comrades in time, and then proove which of them is the real Cosmos!

The Autobot engage in a hellish attack on the base, stymied by it's many defenses and defenders in order to destroy the weapon before it can be used to send all life on Earth flying off into space.

Chance brings Buddy, a boy from a nearby town, to them. His ideas and not-exceptionally-heroic actions help them win the day.

Desert Flight has two main story 'threads', turning it into either a Cosmos solo-adventure, or a team-up with the plucky human Buddy. Buddy is completely absent from Cosmos's story threat, which includes the titular escape across the desert (that also graces the cover) and should probably be considered the 'primary' squence of events.
