Ravenus makes off with a hostage!
Synopsis
Ravenus uses his enhanced Powerlinx command to force-Powerlinx Servo and Twirl to him. Flat-Out and Falcia struggle to resist the command, and do so thanks to the help of Stella, who gets them to Powerlinx to her car. Their energies turn it into a piloted mech, and Stella uses Falcia's claw-mode to break Servo free. But Ravenus takes off with Twirl.
Redline tells Combusta to send a message to all Mini-Cons via the Linkage, giving them the ability to use the Master Key themselves and enhance their abilities, plus break the servility program forever. He then takes off after Ravenus.
Sunburn is forced to reveal their plan by Combusta. "The creator" is ready to be awakened with the "three keys," but the "traitors" with free will still need to be wiped out. Ravenus contains the Doomstone, a gem whose energies can destroy the Linkage, using the mental link caused by a Powerlinx.

Notes
- This comic was available only with the tenth volume of the Micron Legend DVD in Japan, along with the exclusive Sunburn toy. Later pressings of the DVD did not include either.
Art errors
- Falcia connects to Stella's car on the driver's-side door. However, judging by the car parts distribution, she's connected to the passenger-side door when the car is in mech mode.
Transformers references
- The "turbo cannon" created from Stella's car in the very first installment shows up as the back of the vehicle's mech-mode.
- The "three keys" Sunburn refers to are the Star Saber, Skyboom shield, and the Requiem Blaster. None are explictly named, but appear as glowing silhouettes.
Miscellaneous trivia
- Four pages again.
- Sunburn doesn't get to do a whole lot other than provide exposition, which Ichikawa has said he deeply regrets, but the story took precedence.
- Unicron is still not explicitly named. Standard reasons apply.
