Synopsis

After stealing a high-end palmtop PC from an anonymous businessman on a coach, hitch-hiker Verity Carlo is picked up by an intense man, Hunter O'Nion, who reveals he's an alien conspiracy theorist tracking down reports of giant machines in the area. They soon come across the coach Verity departed, which had been run off the road by a pair of sports cars - the businessman whose palmtop Verity stole is missing.

The pair continue on, but are attacked by a blue fighter jet. Hunter's van is destroyed, but he and Verity are saved - by the smiling driver of a suspiciously well-armed ambulance...

Errors

Six fingers on each hand, six toes on each foot, a heathy baby girl.

• After identifying herself as "Verity Carlo" in the narrative text, the character identifies herself to Hunter as "Verity Carter". An internal justification could be that "Verity Carter" is alias she uses to prevent Social Services tracking her down, but when Ratchet asks for her name in Issue #1 she answers with "Verity Carlo".
• When Verity points her kinfe at the dufflebag on the bus, her right hand has six fingers. Also, when Verity whips out her dual mace spray attack, she has six fingers on each hand.

Items of Note

• With Ratchet's appearance, it's established that the Transformers have concealed heavy artillery in their alternate modes. This will be often used in subsequent issues - the fight scenes in the next two issues are primarily done in vehicle mode.
