Notes

• This chapter of the Binaltech story was printed in the pack-in booklet included with the Binaltech toys of Bluestreak and Hound. It would be reprinted in August and November of the same year in the booklets included with both versions of Tracks.
• No synopsis is included in this article because this is easily the least eventful of the Binaltech chapters, accomplishing absolutely nothing. It serves only to reiterate what the last chapter was in the process of establishing. References and story bytes in the bios and Tech Specs of the characters are likewise sparing, but include:
  • Bluestreak was originally going to be the first Binaltech warrior, but was held back from undergoing the process for psychiatric evaluation; a reference to Hasbro's intention to make him the first toy released, only to bump him for Smokscreen.
  • Hound's body was built with the aid of Hybrid Technologies, from the Generation 1 cartoon episode "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide".
