On Phobos (a moon on Mars) Skids and Mudflap are posing in front of their new friends. Soundwave gives the decepticons their Mission briefing and tells the twins he needs their full attention. The former autobots explain they are not "Yer average creativity stifled Grunt." which make Ravage growl. Soundwave tells them to just go and warns them not to fail him. The twins leave for Earth. Grindor and Sideways express their distrust in the two but Soundwave explains to them that Skids and Mudflap are meerly bait for the one they are truly after, the one who has survived countless years on Earth. He tells the decepticons that they will be waiting for him and gives them orders to make sure Skids and Mudflap do not survive.
On Earth Skids and Mudflap are driving in the countryside near a tractor and Skids asks Mudflap if he thinks the decepticons bought it. Mudflap seems oblivious to the fact that it was an act they suddenly realise that if they don't trust them they'll have sent someone to keep tabs on them. They decide that the plan is to bag a bad guy and present him to the autobots gift-wrapped. The two head to a barn where they wait for the guy they supposed to Tag 'n' bag when suddenly a plane crashes through the side of the barn and attempts to gun the autobots down.
At NEST regional command in Wyoming they have confirmation of where the autobot's two rogues are and give the coordinates to Ironhide and Sideswipe.
Back in at the farm the twins try to remember who the bot they're shooting at was. Ransack reminds them and tries to blow them up but Skids informs him that they aren't there to fight since they are decepticons now. Ransack suddenly believes them but refuses to give anyone info unless it's The Fallen. They inform them they're from The Fallen and Ransack tells them to lead on.
Meanwhile Grindor and Sideways are chasing the three and can barely believe that those two clowns would try talking instead of shooting and example they both express hatred for. Grindor shoots down Ransack and attacks the twins then Sideways comes round and also starts to attack. Skids tells Mudflap he'll handle the fly-boy but reminds him they still need something tangible to show the autobots to get them to believe they're still on their side Mudflap forces Sideways to crash into a tree instead of fight while Skids tries to fight of Grindor. In the sky Sideswipe seem confused that Skids and Mudflap are fighting with the two decepticons they are meant to be aiding. Ironhide asks for the NEST soldiors to let them down but they aren't allowed to because their current airfield won't accomidate them. Grindor snatches his priority and leaves but luckily the two have their scalp but Skids says it isn't enough, he's tired of being the fall guy and says they'll take this whole convoluted conspiracy right back to Soundwave's door and bring his whole house down.

Law and Disorder
"So 'Cade, it seems a large number of Human's celebrate an event called "Christmas" at this time of year. They gather together, exchange presents and no one shoots anyone."
"The only thing we'll be exchanging is insults, you moronic Autobot! As for "not shooting" - "ceasefire" isn't in my vocabulary!
"That's a shame. I have a present here for you. It's not from me, I wouldn't douse you in coolant is you were on fire; it's from Ratchet. He said it was the diplomatic thisng to do, whatever that means."
"What is it? What did Ratchet send me? Give me the Christmas present!"
"OK. It's this fist-shaped oblect in th cardboard box on the end of my arm. Can you see it? No? You need to take a closer look..."
- -Ironhide and Barricade start off their usual way.
"Ah, I remember being four. Assembling my first high yield plasma accelerator, and being told off for hanging around near the primary heat exchangers in downtown Tyger Pax.
- -Ironhide
"Soundwave a party animal? I just don't get it - he's one of the most untrustworthy heaps of scrap I have ever encountered."
- - Barricade
"I've met toasters more intimidating than you, Barricade. Seriously, dress up as whoever you want, kids, just send pictures!"
- -Ironhide tells the kids not to worry about Barricade

"SCORPONOK (24 OCT - 21 NOV): It's true that it's always the winners that write history, but it's the losers that do the TRANSFORMERS Wikipedia entry"
"AIRES (21 MAR - 19 APR): With Mars aligning with Necro the Dead Planet, armies of nanobot-driven Zombie lawnmowers will attack. But any problems can be solved with a simple phonecall."
Errors
Notes
- Animated fanart of Bumblebee can be seen on page 47, the legend lives on. Barricade doesn't like it though because it's of Bumblebee.
- If you look up a few inches, yes Starscream just insulted us all.
