MP#700-25 - "ENTER THE NIGHTBIRD"

   A demonstration ninja robot, Nightbird, is unveiled by her Japanese inventor. The presentation is interrupted by the appearance of the Decepticons, who make off with the ninja. The decepticons reset her circuits, intensifying her power tremendously, and program her to treat the Autobots as her enemy. Infiltrating Autobot headquarters, the ninja steals a valuable microchip which shuts down Teletraan I. The Autobots pursue the ninja robot into the desert and find themselves up against her ancient weapons--now converted to high-tech powers by the Decepticons. The valuable microchip is retrieved and the ninja is immobilized without harm by a jealous Starscream, and delivered safely back to her creator by the Autobots.

MP#700-26 - "A PRIME PROBLEM"

   Megatron discovers a crevice filled with rare Korlonium crystals, a great source of energy -- but one that will destroy electrical circuitry upon contact. In a ploy to trick the Autobots into deadly chasm, Megatron creates a clone of Optimus Prime when the Autobot leader is separated from his followers during the battle. Soon, Spike
and the Autobots are puzzled when they receive strange and confusing orders from Optimus Prime, even a subtle change of personality -- until they find themselves faced by *two* identical Optimus Primes. A series of tests is set up to prove which is the *real* leader. The Autobots decide upon the authentic Prime when one of the two opts for rescuing Spike, who has been captured, in preference to the false leader, who encourages the Autobots to retrieve the Korlonium crystals before the chasm closes again.

MP#700-27 - "THE CORE"

   Megatron orders the Constructicons to drill to the earth's core for an important source of energy -- without regard that the planet might split in half. Wheeljack comes up with a new device to control the Constructicons and, in a daring mission, the device is implanted in the robots just before they transform into Devastator. The Autobots return with the controlled Devastator to their headquarters, unaware that a simple electronic disruptor will nullify Wheeljack's devices--controlled by Megatron. When the Autobots and Devastator attempt to stop the drilling that could destroy the earth, Megatron uses his nullifier. In a struggle for control between both forces, Devastator blows his circuits and runs amok. Megatron is forced to join Wheeljack in an attempt to regain control of Devastator--who then boldly stops the drill with only seconds to spare.
