Synopsis
Optimus Primal is concerned about Tigatron's 'lone tiger wolf' tendencies, so he sends Airazor to talk to him. Soaring across the skies, the Maximal falcon soon locates Tigatron. Tigatron isn't swayed by her and Primal's concerns, however, and merely tells her he enjoys living alone in harmony with the beautiful wilderness around him.
Inspired, Airazor decides to try out some of that "living in harmony with the wilderness" thing as well. Unfortunately for her, she keeps running into hazards such as a poisonous mushroom, a lake emitting toxic gas, and a gigantic carnivorous plant, requiring Tigatron to save her every time. This culminates when Airazor loudly exclaims her appreciation of a snowy mountain, the echoes of her voice accidentally setting off an avalanche. The two Maximals immediately book it, and Airazor airlifts Tigatron to safety barely a moment before the deluge of snow buries him alive. Viewing nature from high above the sky sparks a new appreciation of Airazor in Tigatron, and he expresses his belief that they will be able to get together well... right until a volcano erupts and sets fire to Airazor's tail. Both Maximals scream in panic and terror as they streak off into the distance, Airazor trailing a plume of black smoke.

Notes
- This story was published as the April 2023 issue of the web comic and advertised the War for Cybertron: Kingdom Tigatron and Airazor figures.
Transformers references
- Tigatron and Airazor both debut in this issue with character designs based on their advertised toys as is Oda's wont, albeit down to increasingly subtle details like kibble proportions and minor scribing details due to the higher baseline for show accuracy in contemporary Beast Wars figures.
