Overview
When Prowl goes missing, nobody gives a monkey's ass about him but the dark secrets he holds, if revealed, could potentially re-ignite the war. The only clue is a threatening message sent to Prowl by Verity Carlo and the only thing the manipulator told anyone was to hire Springer if he's ever missing. When Springer is revived, a new ad-hoc Wreckers team is assembled and finds themselves facing the Chimeracon revolutionaries of Mayhem, a traitor in their own ranks, Prowl's forgotten ally...
...and their own sins and mistakes.

Notes
- The look of the Chimeracons was taken from Jack Lawrence's Beast Wars Transmasters UK fancomics (with permission from Lawrence). Back there, done before the show made it to the British Isles, Lawrence had the Beasties 'rip' through their flesh, which hangs off them in robot form.[1]
