MP#700-16 - "AUTOBOT SPIKE"

   Spike is injured during a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, and only a dangerous operation will save him. Wheeljack and Ratchet successfully gamble in transferring Spike's mind into the body of a new Autobot to keep it functioning while his body is in surgery. Disgusted over what has happened to him, Autobot Spike sees himself as a Franskenstein monster, and this plus the side effects of the mind-transfer process cause him to go amok. Megatron succeeds in influencing Autobot Spike to join his forces against the Autobots, whom Spike holds responsible for his condition, but it ultimately backfires. Spike returns to normal when his mind is safely transferred to his own body after the successful operation.


MP#700-17 - "CHANGING GEARS"

   The Decepticons capture Gears and remove a circuit chip from his mental control center, changing his personality and making him happily subserviant to Megatron. It also enables Megatron to activate his "Star Needle" device which taps into the sun to create an unlimited supply of pur plasma energy. Optimus Prime finds a fatal flaw in Megatron's calculations: The Star Needle will cause the sun to explode in just two hours and destroy the galaxy, but he is unable to convince Megatron of the truth. The Autobots attempt to defuse the Star Needle, but, ultimately, the success of their mission rests with Gears, who struggles to overcome the evil domination of Megatron.


MP#700-18 - "CITY OF STEEL"

   The Decepticons secretly establish an underground base in New York  City's vast subway tunnel and drainage system. Then, trapping Optimus Prime and completely dismantling the Autobot leader, the Decepticons
convert the Empire State Building into their own headquarters and give the city's inhabitants an  ultimatum to meet their conditions or see their metropolis destroyed. Spike and the Autobots succeed in rescuing and restoring Optimus Prime, and, together, defeat Megatron and his Decepticons, saving the famous city.
