Plot
Bumblebee and Magnus' teams of Autobots return to the Scrapyard, where Bee has Magnus explain everything that's been going on. Magnus says that they've been looking for the leader of the Cybercomrade Sect, Overhead, and he couldn't be sure if he could trust Bee's new team, since about half of them are criminals, however Bee responds by pointing out that his hiding the information has endangered the entire population of the Earth. Magnuis agrees, and joins forces with Bee.
The teams start to plan out how to stop Overhead, and her crew, from building a Spacebridge to escape Earth. However unknown to the Autobots, Overhead actually plans to stay on Earth, strip it of it's resources and conquer it, but she needs the bridge to bring the rest of the Sect to Earth!
At the Scrapyard, Clipshade tries to train Sideswipe to act like a Decepticon to get him inside the Sect for their last attack on them since they haven't seen him before, but Sideswipe is a terrible actor, so it's not going well. Fixit manages to locate Skullcruncher and Razorgrille's signals, so they know where Overhead would likely be, as they are known members of the Sect.
The team locate the two lackies, and Skullcruncher instantly accepts Sideswipe as a Decepticon (he's kinda dumb) but Razorgrille is suspicious that he could be working for another crime boss (even though he has an Autobot insignia). Razorgrille lets it slip that there's only the three Decepticons in the squad, which Magnus reports to Bee, saying that Overhead is alone in the base this means, whilst Magnus and the others take on the lackies.
The Bee Team enter Overheads's base, but are soon ambushed by here, thanks to a silent alarm she set up for intruders. The Autobots battle with the single Decepticon, but it appears to be an even fight. Razorgrille and Skullcruncher manage to run to the base, but are caught in the door with Magnus and the others. Despite this, the Autobots now have the upper hand and Overhead is stuck in a corner.
Overhead decides to take drastic actions, and overloads the spacebridge, causing it to cause a black hole, however Bee manages to close it by smashing the Decepticon into the console and making the bridge explode.
In the aftermath the Decepticons are captured and placed into Stasis Cells back at the space bridge.
Magnus and his team load the captured members of the Sect into his ship as they prepare to leave the planet for Cybertron. Bee says he'll return to Cybertron once his mission on Earth is over, and the two teams part on good terms.

Notes
- I wonder if Skullcruncher's inclusion in this comic is due to his upcoming Titans Return toy?
- In their first panel Razorgrille has Skulcruncher's forearm wheels, but never any other time
- This is the second time that Sideswipe has pretended to be a Decepticon so he can trick one (though this time he doesn't even hide his Autobot insignia!)
- Slipstream is name-dropped as a crime boss. This is most likely in reference to the female Seeker, and not the Autobot Mini-Con.
- Razorgrille looks like he uses the same basic body-type as Knock Out.
- The High Council being unhappy with Bumblebee is mentioned by Jazz and Drift as being why they came to Earth on their separate missions
