Plot

Rampage attacks Transmutate, but very quickly they recognize each other from their brief meeting in the prison some time earlier. But before they can really catch up, Rampage collapses from a lack of energy.

Transmutate hooks Rampage up to the Navicomp to help recharge Rampage, and he explains to her that both of them are Point One Percenters, and therefore are a rare breed of Cybertronian who shouldn't be able to contain their powers, which is why they were exiled  Rampage suggests the two of them settlle down on this planet and just live out their lives alone, together (the Navicomp even offers to officially lifebond them).

Before anything else can happen though, the duo are attacked by a pair of aliens, who swiftly knock them both out, when the two Cybertronians awaken they are greeted by the alien's leader, Lord Imperious Delirious of the Destructons, who seems disappointed by the Cybertronians they were able to find.

Notes

• Rampage and Transmutate recognise eachother's voices from the prison they were in during the prologue story
• Transmutate's "crime" is revealed here to be her simply being a Point One Percenter, like Rampage.
• Wow Destructons....a bunch of random super obscure alien characters who even I had to look up to recognize/name them!
• Shockingly they don't even get any new redesigns to look like recent toys!
• The way the Destructons speak to Transmutate and Rampage seems to imply that they can sense their sparks or something (refering to them as "lights" etc)
