After developing the device, Knock Out and some Vehicons set it up in Zhejiang Province, China and captured a human worker from a scrap-metal facility to use as a subject. When Optimus Prime came to investigate energon readings, Knock Out used the neuron refractor to zap the Autobot's mind into the human, leaving a metal shell to be fed into the crusher. Optimus, though helpless in the human body, found he could mentally communicate with the host mind, and helped Lin-Che operate the machine. It was thus utilized to return Optimus's mind to his own body in time to punch out Knock Out. The Mind Trap!

Notes

• A puzzle later in the same issue notes that "Optimus has been zapped by a neuron refractor", implying it's a common noun.
