Synopsis
The Autobots raid the Decepticon base in order to steal the technology required to create combining robots. While nearly the entire Autobot force goes on the mission, Omega Supreme is left behind to guard the Ark. During their journey to the Decepticon base, Skids runs afoul a human driving an expensive Lamborghini. While the Autobots fight the Decepticons at their base, Megatron tries to take advantage of the situation by attacking the Ark, and is soundly defeated by Omega Supreme. Donny Finkleberg takes advantage of the battle to attempt an escape. Meanwhile, the Autobots gain the technology the were looking for, and retreat. Unfortunately, the Lamborghini driver cuts Skids off, allowing Ravage to blast Skids with one of his missiles. Skids is presumed lost....
Errors
- Megatron hated Finkleberg so much that it took Soundwave's agreement with Finkleberg's argument keep Megatron from killing Finkleberg in issue #15. Why is he the one to tell Shockwave how good an idea it is to keep Finkleberg around now?
Items of note
- References to other Transformers continuities/issues: Grapple began work on Omega Supreme in US issue #14
