Hot Shot and Strongarm find some yellow liquid.
Synopsis
Somewhere on Earth, Hot Shot and Strongarm find a big yellow puddle of energon lying around in the desert. Before they can radio its location in, a pack of Battle Ravage drones attack the pair. But the battle is just a diversion; while the Autobots fight, other drones have been absorbing the energon.
Scorponok arrives to harass the pair further, ordering the drones to fashion an energon weapon for him. Strongarm soaks up enough of the energon to create a weapon for Hot Shot, which he uses to bash Scorponok aside. But with the energon secured, Scorponok simply calls a retreat. Hot Shot and Strongarm take some solace that they have faced "the toughest Decepticon" and survived.
But somewhere, deep inside Unicron, from a fiery portal steps the reborn form of...Megatron!

Notes
- The flip half of the booklet features a catalog of the first waves of Energon toys.
- Megatron appears in classic Galvatron colors decided by the colorist, as his colors were either not yet finalized or had not been made available to the artists.
- Instead of a cannon, Battle Ravage summons an energon mace, similar to its mace tail.
- In the last panel on Page 6, Hot Shot's speech bubble is erroneously pointed at Scorponok.
- At least one international market's print variant of this volume shows Unicron behind the image of Optimus Prime on the product catalog half's cover as if the change to feature Optimus was made later but the image of Unicron wasn't removed first.
