Comic Plot

Ravage infiltrates a NEST base in the Orkney Islands in Scotland and hunts down Skids and Mudflap on Soundwave's orders.
Inside the base The Twins are being trained by Sideswipe via an obstacle course, which they deal with easily. Sideswipe isn't happy with them, thinking they're traitors etc, and sets another training cause up again, when Ravage attacks him from behind.
Ravage turns to the Twins next to complete his mission, but the Twins are able to outrun him and cause an accident and trap him under some rubble, but not stopping him. They divert him into the Simulated Combat room where Ravage projects a message from Soundwave telling them to tell him all they know about The Fallen when the Twins activate the simulation and injures Ravage in the process.
A while later, Sideswipe is back online and taken to see Ravage, only to find that he's gone. Sideswipe thinks that the Twins attacked him and thinks that they're Decepticons still...which Soundwave listens in on via the radio transmitter Ravage left in the base, which he finds interesting.
