"I have the world's worst alt mode: I turn into a leg. Ambulon: From the verb 'to ambulate,' meaning 'to walk about.' It's a stupid name..."
"...but all the best names are taken."

—Ambulon and Ratchet

Notes

• The opening moments of the issue, as Fortress Maximus tears one of the Genericons in half and slams the pieces together, is an homage to Last Stand of the Wreckers #5, in which Overlord did the same thing to Guzzle.
