Rewind and Swerve used (fashionably purple) external magna-clamps[sic] to stick to the outside of the Lost Light while replacing its rivets. Interiors

Notes

• Magno-clamps made their first appearance in the unofficial story "Alignment". In it, Grimlock used the ones in his feet to keep attached to the floor of his ship in a way akin to the usage of magno-treads, and Stormfront used the ones in his thigh to hold his concussion cannon when he didn't need to use it.
