Rampage crashes down on a hunk of rock and becomes aware he's not alone.

Synopsis

Rampage is dragged through the corridors of a spaceship, stuffed into a stasis pod... and later, falls from space, flaming, towards the nearest large body of rock. He slams into it with enough force to create a crater, which he then has to clamber out of while he slowly regenerates. As he walks along, his vocal systems finally regenerate and he can talk again, so he scolds his arm cannon for wasting his energon by repairing. As he talks to himself, he spots something in the shadows, and lashes out with both his cannon and his fists, but comes up with only a rock shaped vaguely like a head, causing him to laugh insanely.

Resting against a cliff, he spots another shadow and opens fire wildly, though again there is nothing to destroy. Insisting to himself he's not mad, Rampage finally spots a trail leading away which he takes to be a vehicle track. Laughing, he transforms and announces that he is now the hunter and his tormentor the hunted.
