Synopsis
The Kiss Players singing group is on a tour stop in America when three small orbs scream down from the sky. Each one basically forces one of the three girls to kiss them, and with that, the girls, orbs, and the Autobot spaceship Brave Maximus are sent hurtling through time and space!
The three girls are told by the orbs that they must collect "Allspark" fragments from various heroic Transformers via kissing. The girls and their new Sparkbot partners will remain invisible and intangible to those in the timelines they visit...
Marissa and Angela find themselves in America in 1985, witnessing the battle of Sherman Dam, and take a fragment from Optimus Prime. Shaoshao and Zangetsu rocket to 2010, to take a piece of Allspark from Rodimus Prime during the Galactic Olympics on Athenia. Atari and Star Dust go even further in the future, to 2011 and the fragment within Fortress Maximus.

Notes
- This issue is a brief overview of Kiss Players episodes 39, 40, 41, and 42.
- Why? Takara's reissue line had dried up, and they still had this weekly radio drama going on to shill. Amusingly, this comic can be considered a pre-cap of the shows, as this issue was released before the covered radio shows aired.
- The events shown in the girls' travels are from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2", "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1", and "Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears".
