Template:Comicnav As the Decepticons raise global tensions, the Autobots deploy to stop them. Meanwhile, the search for Sunstreaker and Hunter continues


Synopsis

Hunter O'Nion is in a strange medical facility surrounded by personnel but he quickly passes out.

At an auto-parts store in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Ironhide and Ratchet observe that the store has sophisticated scanners that could detect their holo-matter drivers. Logically, Verity and Jimmy can sneak in as they are organic (how convenient).

The Decepticons have discovered the Autobots in Brasnya, and Blitzwing is camouflaged and in prime position to take a shot at Optimus Prime. Megatron gives the go ahead, but as he's about to fire, Roller (controlled by Prime) takes Blitzwing out with a cannon blast. Megatron gives the order for Georgi Koska to self terminate and the other Autobots scramble to preserve him for study. Skywarp and Astrotrain attack the Autobots but the arrival of Hardhead and Hot Rod help even the odds. Prime prepares to face down Megatron.

At the auto shop, Verity and Jimmy poke around for information but set off a booby trap.

Errors

  • None yet identified.

Items of note

  • The "Decepticomments" section did not answer readers' mail but did have an ad for the Movie Prequel comic.
  • When Verity and Jimmy are searching the auto shop, a Binaltech-brand air filter and "Seibertron Car Show" pamphlets can be seen on the shelves.
  • The word "Takara" can be seen on the book by Verity's hand as she sets off the trap.
  • The above references strangely make much more sense once you realize the auto shop's name is called the "Idea and Design Works Custom Wheels". Could IDW be a front for the Machination? Maybe they just share the same secret hideaway.
