Comic Plot

The Twins, at Edwards Air Base, attack Ironhide as an impromptu training exercise and get him angry. NEST detects Decepticon activity in Las Vegas so Ironhide and NEST head out to deal with it, and Ironhide tells the Twins to stay at the base...they ignore him and drive out themselves.
Soundwave has sent Grindor to look for one of the Seekers that is in Las Vegas to get it's mind from the shell. NEST attacks Grindor after he extracted the brain unit, and they trap him before he can escape.
The Twins arrive on the scene and try to help out by shooting at Grindor, but accidentally shoots the tether holding him down, setting the Decepticon free. Ironhide tells them to treat this as a learning experience and to not worry about it.

  • The Twins have a reputation for crying wolf
  • The dead Seeker looks like a green version of Hubcap (a toy that was announced long after this comic came out)
  • The Twins freeing Grindor will later be used as evidence against the Twins in the case against them being traitors.
