Synopsis
Believing that they can better fight the Decepticons on their own, Goldbug and Blaster seek information from G.B. Blackrock that might lead them to Decepticon activity. Blackrock tells them of a mysterious meteor that crash landed in Northern Arizona. The Autobot pair goes to investigate.
The meteor was a space frieghter sent by the Decepticons from Cybertron as part of a secret scheme to steal Earth's energy, but the freighter pilot did not contact Cybertron upon arrival as planned. Ratbat sends the Triple Changers: Astrotrain, Octane, and Blitzwing, to investigate.

Items of note
- References to other Transformers continuities/issues:
- On page 5, Blaster remembers the sacrifice of his friend Scrounge, from The Smelting Pool
- On page 6, Blackrock mentions "some suspicious activity in the Caribbean lately," no doubt the Decepticons at their new base of operations, where they relocated to in Gone But Not Forgotten.
