Comic Plot

Optimus is called in to check in on a suspected Decepticon attack, but finds it as a false alarm, but then gets caught in an explosion and taken prisoner by Tyler White and his "Free Man".

At the Malmstrom Air Force Base, Bumblebee and Epps are looking for Optimus and decide to go off site to look for him. Tyler White explains to Optimus that he wants to have his head as a trophy on his wall, as he's the greatest prize of all, being a robotic alien and all.

Bumblebee and Epps find the Free Men's base and attack it, in the confusion Optimus frees himself and destroys all of White's trophies. Later, the surviving Free Men surrender without a fight and Optimus explains that he knew Tyler's plan all along, which is why he sprung the explosion, before it could be reset in a populated area next time, and then Tyler is taken away as well.

Comic Notes

• This is the first of the Titan UK Movie comics to be written by Robin Etherington to lighten Simon Furman's workload.
• This issue is obviously an homage to "Prime Target" from G1
• Tyler White's "Free Men" must have killed some people off screen
• Does Tyler White actually intend to cut Optimus' head off with a machete??
• Optimus could have escaped from his bonds at anytime, but decided to leave only when it was the "funniest"...okay.....
