Synopsis
Mission clock running, 00:01. From orbit, Shockblast neutralizes the defenses of an Autobot energon refinery, allowing Slugslinger and Sharkticon to enter while Mirage patrols the exterior.
Mission clock: 02:11. The two Decepticons slip past an apparently inert sentry drone. They plan to modify the pipeline flows to destroy Autobot City and capture the refinery to boot. Unfortunately, they come under attack from Bulkhead and Tow-Line.
Mission clock: 04:07. Mirage comes racing in to help, only to get stopped by the formerly "inert" Omega Supreme. Sharkticon attempts to cut out, but Omega nails him and the orbiting Shockblast with a single shot. Though the Autobots are victorious, Tow-Line notes that they can never rest as long as the Decepticons seek control of Earth's energon. Mission clock: 05:27.

Notes
- It's very difficult to tell what Sharkticon and Slugslinger are reacting to when they see Omega Supreme. Only the inside portion of his legs are shown in the scene, and at no point are his legs visible when the rest of him is on-panel.
- Though uncredited, the story format and dialog both resemble Simon Furman's style. ("That's Slugslinger's wings clipped!" "Shockblast, it's all gone to—EEAG!") Furman was also writing the main Dreamwave Energon comic at the time.
- The flip half of the booklet features a catalog of Energon toys, including the various "Energon" redecos and the later new-mold Combat-class toys.
- This comic was never released with any of Japan's Super Link figures, due mostly to the fact the comic focused almost entirely on toys that were not released in Japan.
- The toy catalog portion was included with early runs of the Transformers: Energon DVDs offered by Paramount Home Video.
