Comic Plot

Raf meets up with his friend Dan where he picks up his all new "Ultra Lux Special Invasionauts Edition with 4D glasses" and Raf declares that his life is complete. Elsewhere Megatron discusses their new plan with Soundwave and has it begin.

At Omega One Raf and Bulkhead are playing the new game with Ratchet disapproving in the background when Raf suddenly begins to act weird and starts obeying a voice from his screen that only he can see and starts recalibrating the Ground Bridge coordinates to ones sent by Megatron and opens it up, allowing a flood of Vehicons into the base.

The Autobots activate their defenses and have the humans hide with Raf to try and fix him. Miko notices that the game box has a Decepticon insignia on it and yanks the system out of the TV, ending the hypnotic control and freeing Raf, who is unaware of what has happened. Raf runs to the Ground Brodge controls and reverses the coordinates, and cause a vacuum in the base, the Autobots and Humans hold onto the defensive protrusions whilst the Vehicons and sucke dout of the base through the Bridge and sent base to where they came from.

After the fight everyone recovers and Raf throws out the game and says that he'll lay off them for a while, all whilst Ratchet makes a joke about how games are safe until someone loses a limb, whilst fondling a severed Vehicon arm...YIKES!

Comic Notes

• For no apparent reason Arcee is missing from this issue
• Soundwave talks happily away here, unlike his silent stance in the series
• What exactly makes the glasses "4D"?
• Why is Raf playing with Bulkhead instead of his fellow game junkie Bumblebee?
• For some reason Raf can see perfectly when hypnotized as he can navigate the base and type in coordinates without his glasses on...
• The Autobots have pop up shields in their base, much like those seen in the War For Cybertron games
• Why did the Decepticons put an insignia on their game box?
