Comic Plot

The Twins have been detained and are currently on route to a secured location when they are rescued by Wheelie (on Soundwave's orders).

Optimus at Diego Garcia is informed of the Twin's escape and deems that their recapture is a priority now. The Twins are then immediately attacked, forcing them to go on the run again.

2 Days later, the Twins are in Tranquility and pick up Sam to speak with him and try to explain what's happened to him so he can relay it to the Autobots (though it looks like he's abducting them really)

Bumblebee sees this and goes after the Twins. The Twins quickly give up Sam and try to surrender to Bumblebee, when suddenly Soundwave arrives and shoots the Autobot, and offers the Twins sanctuary, which they accept.

Comic Notes

• Starscream actually appears in this issue, albeit as a very brief cameo as the one who drops off Wheelie to free the Twins. This also confirms that his mission on Cybertron must be over
• Starscream and Wheelie almost definitely kill some humans in this issue when rescuing the Twins.
• Mikaela being mentioned here is about the only time we hear from Mikaela in this series!
• This marked the first time Soundwave was seen to set foot on Earth.
• Sam doesn't want to get involved with the war any more (as also shown in ROTF)
• It's not said here, but Soundwave is likely the one who sent the message to NEST telling them that Sam has been abducted by the Twins
• The Twins finally tell someone about the army forming on Cybertron by Starscream, but not Optimus, they tell Sam, and judging by the later issues, Sam told him later himself.
• A human getting abducted by an Autobot is very similar to what happened in Man of Iron, and coincidentally the human in that story was called Sammy Harker!!
