Plot
Optimus and Crosshairs are hiding out in a town, when they hear about a strange metallic beast attacking residents of a local town, so they decide to investigate it.
Upon reaching their location they find a Turbofox, who they assume came from Lockdown's ship, and Crosshairs starts to freak out, due to a past experience with Turbofoxes. The Autobots ride off, until they can figure out what to do with the monster.

Lockdown has a flashback to an encounter with Turbofoxes, who killed his entire team whilst he was out scouting, but before long he and Optimus are attacked some more, and Optimus is pinned down. Crosshairs gets over his issues and kills the Turofox, and the two Autobots leave.

Back in the hiding spot, the Autobots learn that the Turbofox's remains were found by authorities and the town is safe again, allowing the Autobots to move on, but not without Crosshairs making a bunch of bad dog-puns along the way.

Notes
  • This issue seems to be implied to be the final issue of the series (with the soppy message at the front, and the "Roll Out" image on the inside back cover) We'll have to wait and see though to see what happens.
  • From Optimus recognizing the Turbofox as being amongst the Mercenaries, this comic appears to be set AFTER Age of Extinction, however...didn't Optimus rocket off into space at the end of that film?
  • All of Crosshairs' team in the flashback pretty much share his colourscheme...maybe it's a uniform?
  • Are Optimus and Crosshairs stalking the guy in the orange van? They're hanging out with him at the start and the end of the comic
