Plot

Transmutate is captured by the Maximals for her involvement in the Rebels releasing Dynobot, and is sent towards Garrus-16. On the way, the ship is destroyed and she is left stranded on a seemingly deserted planet.

She recovers the Navi Unit from her stasis pod and uses it for information (whilst it keeps trying to make her knock herself out so she can be recovered and arrested again). After a bit of searching Transmutate finds herself in the shadow of Rampage, who appears to want to hurt her.

Notes

• Some of the characters shown here aren't very obvious here. Such as the identity of the Convoy, if it's Ironhide or Santon next to him, who are with Cryotek and so on. I honestly can't even tell most character's factions so I'll have to guess!
• Added to he existing new potential toys are Windrazor from Beast Hunters Dreadwing, Cryotek from Prime Bulkhead and a heavily modified Protoform Movie Optimus as Bigmos.
• Transmutate's story on the planet is set during Rampage's last issue it seems.
• The Navi unit apears to be based on the Navi's shown in the Japanese cartoon series'.
• They're not clearly shown, but I think the Security Team is suing Beast Hunters Bumblebee with some added bits (made to resemble the Clocker model from their previous appearances)
