Captain America, in contact with Director Hill, led the Avengers sent to investigate the conflict between Latveria and Symkaria. Arriving in Latveria, they found a strange domed structure unlike anything found on Earth. Entering it, the Avengers were attacked by the building's defenses and Spider-Man was kidnapped, which upset Wolverine and Luke Cage. Captain America decided to throw some insults their way. The three remaining Avengers were subsequently joined by Ms. Marvel and the Falcon, just in time to encounter a group of Autobots. Unknowingly under the insidious influence of the Psycho-Prism, Captain America ordered his Avengers to attack. Man and Machine, Part One
As the two teams skirmished, Ratchet planted an inhibitor device on Captain America, negating the Prism's effects. As the Avengers stood down, Doctor Doom joined them and vowed to help them defend his homeland against the Decepticons, who had stolen the Psycho-Prism from him. Cap summoned Iron Man and set to attacking the Decepticon Array. The combined efforts of the Avengers and Autobots failed to make a dent in it—until the fortress's walls opened up to reveal a team of Decepticons in mirror response mode! Man and Machine, Part Two
Captain America flew the Avengers' Quinjet into battle with the Decepticons' aerial forces, but soon found himself overwhelmed. With Iron Man's assistance, Cap, Falcon, and Ms. Marvel managed to ground the fliers, but found that their efforts had been in vain when Megatron and Doom announced that they had joined forces and taken Ratchet, Prowl, Spider-Man, and Luke Cage hostage, vowing to kill them if their teammates did not surrender. Cap sided with Bumblebee in his willingness to sacrifice the hostages to prevent a Symkarian-Latverian war, but Optimus Prime proposed another solution. Man and Machine, Part Three
Outside the Array, Captain America confronted Megatron with his allies. With the hostages successfully freed and the Psycho-Prism destroyed, the Avengers and Autobots decisively beat the Decepticons, forcing them to flee. Cap received word from S.H.I.E.L.D. that the Symkarians had called off their attack, and departed with Wolverine, Iron Man, and Spider-Man in the Quinjet—which seemed different somehow…. Man and Machine, Part Four
Toys
Crossovers
- Captain America (Marvel, 2009)
- Accessories: Shield
- Captain America transforms into a big, gas-guzzling, all-American Humvee with a mismatched paint job and a spare tire on the back. In robot mode, the tire becomes Cap's shield and can be affixed to either of his forearms. Pressing the star in the center causes the shield to pop open, increasing its circumference so it doesn't look dinky. In the interest of making the robot mode look more like Captain America, the Humvee's front end and roof ended up being blue while the rest of the vehicle is red. Cap's red plastic parts—including the running board steps, the rear bumper, and the tail lights, but not the windows—have been left unpainted, effectively neutering some of the intricacy of the figure's otherwise interesting design.
- This mold was to be retooled to make the Punisher, but after that toy was canceled, it was used for Iron Man instead.
