Resumen:

In a glimpse at a potential future world for the Transformers, the Junkions are enjoying a peaceful life on the planet Junk, watching stray television broadcasts from Earth and absorbing everything they see. Unfortunately for them, the five-faced Quintessons have lost a valuable canister on their planet, and have sent the Sharkticons to retrieve it. The Sharkticons find the canister, but are driven off by the Junkions before they could escape with the prize. Undaunted, the Quintessons decide to use a more subtle approach instead.

The next day on Junk, the Junkions find a huge television screen and satellite dish, offering a direct feed from Earth. Unaware that it has been modified by the Quintessons to play subliminal messages of destruction and obedience, the Junkions are soon enthralled, and begin sorting through their world's garbage in a search for the canister.

As the search continues, the Junkions decide to share the Quintessons' message with the rest of the universe. They turn the dish towards space, and soon the subliminal signals are causing riots and wars across the galaxy. In response to this threat, various alien races follow the signal back to the planet of Junk, in hopes of destroying the dangerous broadcast.

Arriving at Junk on a routine visit, the Autobots are caught in a crossfire as the alien ships attack the planet. Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Omega Supreme, and Blaster descend to the surface to determine the cause of the trouble; they run into Cyclonus and Scourge, who were investigating whether the Junkions could be turned against the Autobots. Their showdown is interrupted by Galvatron; hypnotized by the broadcasts into a berserker rage, he savagely attacks Rodimus Prime. Meanwhile, the Quintessons have found the canister again, and use a tractor beam to bring it to their ship.

As the battle continues, a stray shot from Galvatron hits the canister, sending it flying through the void of space. Blaster speculates that music can stop the hostile suggestions, and Omega Supreme flies him over the battlefield to play soothing music. The combatants awake from their trance; angry at being a pawn of the Quintessons, Galvatron destroys the satellite dish, then leaves with the Decepticons. With the dangerous broadcast now over, the Autobots, Junkions, and aliens go their separate ways.

Regretting the loss of the canister, the Quintessons hint that the secrets of that canister could turn the entire galaxy against them, and sentence the Quintesson responsible for its recovery with death. Since this story is simply an anachronistic tale outside of the comic book continuity, the future outcome of this tale is left untold...
