Comic Plot
Stratosphere is flying around British Columbia in Canada on a surveillance sweep when he suddenly finds himself in a cloud and then attacked by Devastator, who damages his wing, forcing him to crash.
At CFB Comox, Captain Fraser informs the Cadets where Stratosphere was last heard from and sends them out to find him, they roll out.
Back in the mountain range where he crashed, Stratosphere slowly wakes up and goes back to robot mode, he sees Devastator being rebuilt nearby, and learns that his communications are down. He waks over to the behemoth.
Stratosphere gets to the building site to find Skywarp and some drones rebuilding Devastator under cover from a smoke-cloud generator and decides to stop them, since Devastator is too powerful and dangerous to have running around.
Stratosphere attacks the group ad kills some of the drones. Stratosphere manages to knock over Skywarp and destroys the jamming device, which allows him to tell NEST about Devastator and gets the to come in with an air-strike.
Skywarp recovers and tries to fly off to safety, but Stratosphere redirects the cloud generator to Skywarp's path and causes him to crash into a cliff-face.
The Cadets arrive and the air-strike hits Devastator, destroying the beast. Stratosphere says they should all return to base now

Comic Notes
- This comic features some random Payload/Swindle looking drones on the cover and poster, but in the comic itself they are replaced with some made up in design construction vehicle drones (Excavators if the vehicles shown are anything to go by)
- This is the first, and currently only piece of fiction with Stratosphere in it.
- Devastator is shown to have survived the events of ROTF
- Devastator being rebuild in a remote location is reminiscent of the Marvel UK story "Desert Island Risks"
- It's a Cadets story again!
- In this story Skywarp is shown being defeated. Though it's not shown here, it's likely that he would be captured at the end, and then being released by Bludgeon in the previous issue (this is notable because Skywarp is shown in later issues as being free still)
- This was the last Cadet story :(
