MP#700-52 - "THE SEARCH FOR ALPHA TRION"

   In a plot to lure Prime into a trap, Megatron informs Optimus he has captured Elita One, Prime's female counterpart and leader of a small group of female Autobots on Cybertron thought to be extinct. Prime goes to Cybertron to rescue Elita, but he, too, is captured. Elita uses her "special power" to save Prime form certain destruction by the Decepticons, but loses most of her energy as a result. Prime takes Elita to Alpha Trion, a wise old Autobot who explains that only Prime can save Elita because only his identical schematic will properly interface with hers. Aware that only his creator could know that, Prime realizes Alpha Trion's true identity. Shortly afterwards, Prime and Elita One rescue the beseiged Autobot forces who followed him to Cybertron, as well as the female Autobots, and send the Decepticons fleeing. Opting to remain on Cybertron, the females wish
their Autobots counterparts a safe journey back to their Earth base.

MP#700-53 - "THE GIRL WHO LOVED POWERGLIDE"

   Astoria, a cute, daffy teenaged girl, gets a crush on Powerglide when he rescues her from a kidnap attempt by the Decepticons. Powerglide discovers she's Chairman of the Board of her father's company and a royal pain. She also proves to be a walking disaster area; machines break down around her. But only she has her late father's formula for transmitting energy over vast distances. The Decepticons finally kidnap her and take her to Megatron's sky platform. Numerous attempts to force Astoria into revealing the formula are frustrated by her
talent for disaster. Powerglide takes to the skies to search for her, but finds himself buffeted about in a deadly energy storm created by the sky platform. Astoria takes her necklace--containing the formula-- and throws it into the sky platform's machinery, shutting it down to save Powerglide, who rescues her and sends the sky platform crashing down on Decepticon headquarters.

MP#700-54 - "HOIST GOES HOLLYWOOD"

   When Hoist helps rescue the drivers of a car stunt that goes awry during the location filming of a new motion picture, the director offers him a job at the studio. Hoist, whose Autobot role is often limited to cleaning up after a battle with the Decepticons, is immediately star-struck and accepts, and helps his Autobot friends
get jobs on the lot as stunt vehicles. Meanwhile, Dirge, returning from the space bridge with a mysterious cargo taken from Wheeljack's workshop on Cybertron, loses control and crash-lands on the studio backlot. Ramjet and Thrust retrieve Dirge and the Cargo, but are accidentally filmed by the movie crew. Megatron, demanding the cargo be kept secret from the Autobots, goes to the studio to steal the film. Hoist fools Megatron into thinking he has destroyed the negative, displaying his acting abilities to the director, but turns down a major role in another movie to return to his less - "glamorous" role with the Autobots.
