Resumen:
Buster Witwicky, riding in the mindless Jetfire, is flying to the Blackrock aerospace plant when they are engaged by Air Force fighters. Jetfire's automatic defenses kick in, and he quickly evades their attacks and shoots them down. Unfortunately, the speed of those evasive maneuvers are too much for Buster, who blacks out from the excessive forces involved.
At the plant, Soundwave has found the telephone bypass system that the Autobots have been using to eavesdrop on the Decepticons. Instead of destroying the bug, Shockwave uses it to mislead the Autobots into thinking that Optimus Prime's head will be dropped into a nearby swamp. Jetfire returns to the plant and delivers the unconscious Buster, then Soundwave sends him to the swamp with a decoy Optimus head.
Jetfire soon reaches the swamp and tosses the fake head into it. The Autobots -- fooled into thinking it's really Optimus Prime's head -- quickly rescue it. But when the head is attached to Optimus' body, "Optimus" turns on the Autobots and attack them. The Autobots are quickly knocked down, and find themselves surrounded by other attacking Decepticons.
Back at the plant, Buster awakes in time to hear Shockwave explain about the fake Optimus head. When Jetfire returns, Buster uses his Creation Matrix power to attack Shockwave. Shockwave is downed with a single punch, and the captured aerospace workers take the opportunity to revolt. Meanwhile, Buster sends Jetfire to deliver the real Optimus Prime's head to the swamp.
At the swamp, the Autobots are being defeated by the Decepticons. No one notices as Jetfire arrives and drops Optimus' real head. By remote control, Optimus Prime regains control of his body and reattaches his head to it. He then turns on the Decepticons and quickly defeats them.
After Shockwave recovers from being attacked, he races to the swamp. He quickly engages Optimus Prime, but is quickly defeated and thrown into the mire. Optimus Prime quickly returns to the aerospace plant, where he learns that the aerospace workers have freed Buster. Seeing that Buster is all right, Optimus finally reclaims the Creation Matrix.
Curiosamente, los Decepticons derrotados son ignorados por los Autobots sin ninguna razón. Por tanto, Shockwave y los otros reaparecen en los números 14 y 15 sin ningún deterioro.
