Synopsis
Ramjet has poisoned the Autobots' new fuel shipment, leaving many of them crippled and unable to transform. Can Perceptor find a cure before the Decepticons attack? What will Prowl's mission to the Decepticon Poison Lab uncover? Can they stop the Decepticons from poisoning the human water supply with their mind-control potion?
The answers to all these questions... are up to you!

Notes
- The Decepticon cassettes are mistakenly described as having jet alt-modes, though the art gets things right, thanks to it being toy-based.
- The way Mirage is described as holographically impersonating Laserbeak in order to walk right past the other Decepticons seems to imply that Laserbeak also has a humanoid robot mode. It's technically possible for a small cassette-bird to walk into a room and pick up a container as described, but it sounds really awkward.
- Best line of narration ever: Well, somebody's got to save the humans. It may as well be Powerglide.
- The picture of Powerglide shooting down Frenzy shows the underside of his A-10 mode, with his robot face clearly visible. The double-edged sword of toy-accurate artwork.
- Prowl and Ironhide bait each other at the staff meeting. (Prowl wins.)
- One of the few instances of Twin Twist among the Autobots on Earth, and the even fewer instances of him appearing without his fellow Jumpstarter, Topspin.
- Laserbeak snores.
- This book was available individually, or as part of a six-book box set with the other five "pre-movie era" books in the series.
