Plot
Bumblebee reminisces over how his team has changed since he's returned to Earth, about the battle with Megatronus, and the return of Optimus to the world of the living.
Optimus and Windblade head off on a mission from the Primes to locate something hidden in the East, but they promise to return as soon as possible.
Elsewhere, at the Sierra Ridge, Steeljaw emerges from some rubble that he was thrown to by Megatronus and begins to plot his revenge on the Autobots, but ends up falling down a hill after attacking a squirrel. At the bottom of the hill, Steeljaw finds some Energon and follows it's trail to a waterfall cave. Inside, he locates some Vehicons left behind by the Decepticons from the Prime series, inside he learns theres an Energon mine there, but the Vehicons were waiting for miners to be delivered by Starscream, which Steeljaw decides to help them with...
Russell becomes a bit bothered after one of his friends points out to him that he's got no role models, and he worries about what will happen to him in the future. Shortly after getting back to the scrapyard Fixit picks up a signal from Steeljaw at a military base, so the team heads out to deal with him, however Russell decides to stay behind with Fixit to try and find his own path in life, rather than following his father's goofy role model.
The Autobots arrive at the military base, but find all the military personnel asleep due to some knock-out gas being let out in the area. All of a sudden two of the Vehicons attack the Autobots. The Autobots manage to defeat the Vehicons whilst also protecting the sleeping humans and the gas trucks. The two Vehicons fly away defeated.
Shortly afterwards, Bumblebee receives a holographic message from Steeljaw, who reveals that along with the third Vehicon, Steve, have attacked the scrapyard, and taken Fixit and Russell prisoner.

Notes
- This issue takes place shortly after the end of Season One, but before the start of Season Two.
- It's likely that there are more groups of Vehicons left on Earth somewhere.
- A Vehicon being named Steve is a popular fandom joke that's been around since the Prime series began.
- Fixit's ringtone appears to come from his crotch....I am scared!
- Grimlock's new attempt at a normal alternate mode is a train...it is adorable!
- The Vehicons shown here have the robot modes of the ground troop Vehicons, but the aerial alternate modes
- Where did Steeljaw and Steve find those jars to keep Fixit and Russell in? Those aren't Stasis Cells...
- There appears to be a Jem and the Holograms billboard in the scrapyard.
