The Super Stunt Team hide with their new friend, but they're not out of danger yet.
Synopsis
Hiding in Stella's basement, the Super Stunt team relay the story of how they came to Earth and were reactivated after they escaped the crashing Exodus. Servo digs through Stella's laundry, uncovering an amazing tool.
Meanwhile in Portland Oregon, an unnamed Mini-Con flees from a Fixer Bug, the same type of machine that chased the Super Stunt Team earlier. Unfortunately, this one doesn't get away, and his pleas to Top Gear go unheeded. The Fixer Bug force-Powerlinxes to him, and the Mini-Con is reduced to energy and sucked in. The Fixer Bug then changes its mass, forming a rather evil-looking Mini-Con storage panel.

Notes
- This comic was available only with the first volume of the Legend of the Microns DVD in Japan, along with the exclusive Super Stunt Team toys. Later pressings of the DVD did not include either.
Transformers references
- The signal that activated the Super Stunt Team appears to be the signal accidentally sent to Cybertron when Rad picked up the Mini-Con storage panel containing High Wire (as seen in "First Encounter").
Miscellaneous trivia
- The Super Stunt Team's text no longer has the < > brackets, indicating that Stella can now understand their speech (even though they are still technically speaking in binary). Top Gear and the other Mini-Con retain the brackets.
- We get our first view of the Super Stunt Team's pre-Earth bodies, but not their alternate modes.
- Redline has four storage panels in his chest compartment in this issue. This comes up again....
- Servo is one damn lucky Mini-Con.
- Tailslide, the Mini-Con who fails to get away, not only appears in his pre-Earth body, but is not named in this issue, and neither is Top Gear. On the other hand, this volume also came with the Top Gear toy, named on the packaging.
