MP#700-61 - "30 SECONDS OVER MEGATRON"

   After losing a battle for leadership with Megatron, Starscream is dumped on a Pacific island by Laserbeak. There he discovers the rusted hulks of several World War II military vehicles. Taking the space bridge to Cybertron, he sneaks into the Decepticons' Detention Center and steals five criminal personality components stored there to install into the vehicles and complete his new, personal army--the Combaticons! But the new Decepticons need energy absorbers to remain alive, and Starscream has them them kidnap Jazz and Cliffjumper, intending to scrap their parts. Megatron's forces meet Starscream's in a major battle, where Devastator is defeated by the Combaticon's giant robot mode, Bruticus. Starscream is victorious--until Bruticus leaves. But as he flies off, the giant robot loses his remaining power, and crashes to the ground. Megatron banishes Starscream and the Combaticons from Earth forever--as the Autobots rescue their comrades.

MP#700-62 - "THE REVENGE OF BRUTICUS"

   Banished to an asteroid in deep space, the Combaticons go to Cybertron, overcome Shockwave, and convert the space bridge to send the Earth into the sun--in order to destroy Megatron. Starscream retakes control of the planet, diverting the Combaticons with holographic projections, and contacts Megatron, demanding he
surrender Decepticon leadership--or he will allow the Earth to be destroyed. While the Earth moves dangerously close to the sun, the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to stop Starscream and the Combaticons. Prime and Megatron go to Cybertron, battle Bruticus, and- -with Starscream's help--gain the security code from him in order to reverse the Earth's course--with only moments to spare! Starscream is forgiven, and Bruticus is destroyed before Prime leaves for Earth. But Megatron has tricked Prime with a holographic projection, intending to reprogram Bruticus and the Combaticons as new Decepticons!

MP#700-63 - "MASQUERADE"

   The Autobots capture the Stunticons, who are collecting components for one of Megatron's devices, and disguise five of their own forces to impersonate them, intending to infiltrate Megatron's headquarters and find out what he is up to. Before leaving, Prime orders that no Autobot follow them and that strict radio silence be maintained to protect their cover. Arriving at a huge crater, the disguised Autobots see a strange, gigantic device as they deliver the components to Megatron. Meanwhile, at Autobot HQ, the Stunticons overcome their guards and escape. They arrive at the crater and combine into Menasor to prove they are the real Stunticons. As
Megatron aims his new weapon at Prime and his comrades, the other Autobots arrive on the scene. With Megatron distracted, Prime is able to trigger the weapon to self destruct, and Prime is grateful the
Autobots disobeyed his orders not to follow--this one time.
