Comic Plot

Several schools in Jasper County are being destroyed (after being evacuated) and the police have no idea who's causing it. The Autobots decide to investigate as they find it a bit odd that it's happening so near their base, so they tell the kids to stay away from school until it is all resolved.

Shortly afterwards Arcee and Jack are staking out Franklin High where the school is being evacuated and MECH suddenly appear on the scene. Arcee reports this to Optimus, who tells her that MECH are attacking the other schools in the area where the other Autobots are staking out as well, so they can't have any back-up. Jack says that he wants revenge for what Silas did to him and his mother last time.

Jack infiltrates the school but is quickly captured thanks to the security system, when Silas reveals that they've been blowing up the schools to try and find Jack and his friends. Silas starts to set off explosives, and tells Jack that he's to be left inside whilst it blows up, whilst MECH can escape on a helicopter. Arcee however rams into the building and defends Jack from the MECH soldiers and Silas reaches the roof.

On the roof Jack reaches them and knocks down Silas, and Arcee rounds up the MECH soldiers, however Silas is rescued by some more of his soldiers and leave son a helicopter and gloats that they're going to die on that roof, however Arcee transforms and revs Jack off the roof to safety, and Arcee just comments about how much she would do to protect those she cares for, like Jack and...wait...did they leave the MECH soldiers on the roof to die as the school blazes up!??!?! DUDE!!!!!

Comic Notes

• In Ratchet's only appearance in this comic he's coloured like Bulkhead...colouring mistake? Or an attempt at a new character for the comics like Hoist?
• Sterling Spoon and Bliss Meadow are likely references to former Marvel UK characters Irwin Spoon and Joy Meadows - If not then they are some BIZARRE coincidences....
• This story is set after Crisscross (which hasn't been released on UK TV at the time of printing)
