Plot

Transmutate and Rampage wake up to find Lord Imperious, of the Destructrons apologizing for how Medusa and Bruton treated them in their encounter, and are invited inside their base to refuel with Energon, where they learn that Imperious was the one who freed them from the prison ship by destroying it, and how he did so because he wanted them to join the Desructrons, as all of them are outcasts on their own worlds, like them.

Rampage considers joining them, but Transmutate says no, as they are not broken, and do not need to be treated this way, however Imperious refuses to let them leave, gets angry, and reveals his hidden multiple evil eyes and mouth, and uses his Delirious Fire power to attack them

Notes

• The Animated article features images for Animated Erector previously only ever seen in the spoof article on him for the Hall of Fame (hopefully this means we'll see the other images before long)
• The Destructrons are all identified officially here after their unnamed appearances last issue
• It's revealed that the one who destroyed the prison ship earlier was Delirious himself.
• The Destructrons are revealed to not be a specific race, but a collection of abused robotic life-forms from various worlds
• What's the betting that in the next issue, either Rampage or Transmutate will destroy Delirious, and escape from the planet?
• Delirious reveals that he planned to use the entire Prison ship as a new army source to invade Cybertron...wonder how the ship blew up them if that wasn't the purpose of the attack?
