Comic Plot
Optimus and Arcee hunt down Sideways in Australia. The Twins learn that Optimus is going to be heading to Diego Garcia soon (where they are as well) and get excited. Optimus and Arcee manage to beat down Sideways and captures him.
Later Optimus as his cargo are taken to Diego Garcia, and the Twins head over to him to talk, though they start arguing on who is to actually tell him about The Fallen and annoys him.
Suddenly Scorponok attacks the base from underground and Sideways reveals that he was just playing possum and both start an attack.
Optimus begins to declare a counter attack when he trips over Skids and Mudflap tries to use some debris as a shield, only for Sideways to steal it from him and the Decepticons leave in the confusion.
Sideswipe, having seen everything tells Optimus that Skids and Mudflap helped the Decepticons escape (all a misunderstanding of course) and also tells him about the Grindor incident and how the "attacked him" last issue. Optimus has the two detained for questioning.
Soundwave listens from high up and comments on how this is just the beginning...

Comic Notes
- It's not said outright here, but from the dialogue, it sounds like Sideswipe is implying that the Twins told the Decepticons that Optimus was in Australia...
- Sideways' line "Just 'cause I'd always rather flee than fight, don't mean I can't" was later made his official motto by Hasbro
- Arcee is shown in 3 motorcycle modes, all the same type and colour instead of three different ones. Only one is shown in robot mode.
- I bet Sideswipe spends his spare time collecting conspiracy theories ;)
