MP#700-58 "WAR DAWN"

   The Aerialbots are tricked by the Decepticons, who use Megatron's new Kronoscope to send them back to Cybertron of nine million years earlier. There the Aerialbots are befriended by young Orion Pax, who shows them the wonders of Cybertron's Golden Age. The trusting Orion is duped by the young Megatron into revealing the location of the energon storehouses, and the disasterous Cybertron Civil War begins. In an attempt to stop Megatron, Orion Pax is almost destroyed, but Alpha Trion rebuilds him the first of a new breed of Transformers-- Optimus Prime! Young Prime battles Megatron, while the Aerialbots try to help by setting off a series of explosions. Back in the present, the Autobots activates the Kronoscope, and bring the Aerialbots moments before the explosions that raze Cybertron. Eagerly questioned by the Autobots about Cybertron's past, the Aerialbots tell them to ask Optimus Prime because he knows all about it.

MP#700-59 "TRANS-EUROPE EXPRESS"

   The Autobots enter the Europa 3000, a cross-continental auto race from London to Turkey, in order to guard a secret engine from the spying Decepticons. Megatron orders the Stunticons to knock the Autobots out of the race because the finish line is too close to the site where he expects his Constructicons to dig up the lost Pearl of
Jehudin. Optimus Prime is alerted that the famed pearl, an ancient Persian talisman, is, according to legend, capable of generating unbelievable amounts of energy. The Autobots win the race, speeding right past the judges to the Decepticon dig--only to arrive too late. The Decepticons have unearthed the Pearl of Jehudin to catastrophic results, creating atmospheric havoc. The world is saved when a competing race driver pusposely drives his car off a cliff to crash into Menasor's face. The destructive Pearl of Jehudin is destroyed, and the Autobots donate its gold casing--worth 20 million dollars--to charity.

MP#700-60 "COSMIC RUST"

   Investigating an abandoned Autobot base in outer space, Megatron finds a Lightning Bug icon with an incredible heat ray. But once he returns to Earth with the icon, he finds himself covered with rust. Meanwhile, Perceptor directs the Autobots as they coat the Statue of Liberty with his new invention--the Ultra Compound, a metal- protecting element. Perceptor is captured and is brought before Megatron where he diagnoses the problem as Cosmic Rust. Megatron forces Perceptor to cure him with the last of the Ultra Compound, then diabolically releases the infected Perceptor in order to infect the other Autobots. Perceptor plans to duplicate some of the compound used to coat the Statue of Liberty to cure the Autobots, but once informed, Megatron parts to destroy the statue with his heat ray. The Autobots beat them there, destroy the icon which sends them fleeing,
get the compound needed to restore themselves, and save the Statue of Liberty for posterity.
