Reprints The Transformers #43. There are two new pages of exposition, one at the beginning of #180 and one at the end of #181, that tells the tale of a torturer trying to extract information from the imprisoned Wreck Gar. He tells his torturer the tale of "The Big Broadcast of 2006". The torture reveals the information he has gleaned to his employers: the Quintessons! They've been looking for the journal referenced in Wreck Gar's story, but they point out that it is a fabrication because Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge are no longer in 2006. They sentence both prisoner and jailor to execution on Quintessa and prepare their final push for "Space Pirates".
