Plot
MECH investigates the junk yard where Knock Out captured Optimus last issue where Agent Novo finds the device and works out what it's for. Before he can capture it Bulkhead and Bumblebee arrive via Ground Bridge and take it back to base, along with Novo, who stowed away. Novo downloads a copy of the program onto a portable device and then takes Miko hostage so he can force the Autobots to open the bridge so he can escape back to China. The Autobots let him leave with Miko, and he drops some grenades to slow them down.
At MECH's Chinese base Novo returns with the program and Miko as a hostage, Miko is taken away and Novo is rewarded with the opportunity to have his mind transplanted into a robotic body using the program, which they learn they can duplicate.
Later the Autobots arrive in China to hunt for Miko, whilst Novo's mind is transplanted into the robot. During the procedure the scientist claims that Novo's mind may be damaged during the transfer, but Silas claims he doesn't care. Novo hears this and goes on a rampage, turning against his old team mates and boss and starts destroying the base and the transfer systems. Novo rescues Miko and leaves the base with her, meeting with the Autobots, where he apologizes to them for all he'd done to them.
MECH prepare to attack the Autobots and Novo, and Novo tells the Autobots to leave with Miko whilst he deals with MECH and destroys the technology that created him. The Autobots leave and return to base, where they see the location of the base is just a large crater now, and Miko wonders whether if Novo could have survived...whilst in China Novo walks away from the crater.

Notes
- This story is set after the previous month's issue
- Wonder if Novo's storyline will be picked up again?
- The story shows this continuity is separate to the TV series now, as Silas is still alive (or moving anyway) and they have successfully made a Cybertronian looking robot
- Why did Novo remove his mask? I thought these guys needed to hide their faces for legal reasons?
- I wonder...what happened to Novo's human body? Did Novo destroy it, or did MECH keep it for some reason?
