Last week the Decepticons launched an attack on the Hydrax Spaceport. Slugfest distracted neutral passengers while Shockwave shot down the V’ger, piloted by Benin-Jeri and Dust Devil. Warlord attempted to intervene, but the Decepticons were able to prevent the neutrals from leaving Cybertron, nearly killing those aboard the V’ger in the process. The remaining neutrals now despair getting off Cybertron at all.

Meanwhile, Spike reminisced about the day he found out about Shawn Berger’s death before encountering Berger’s son in the waiting room prior to a planned meeting with Bree Van Mark about anti-Transformer technology her company had been caught developing. Berger, Jr., intercepted Spike on the way to that meeting, berated him, and basically threw him out before he could talk to Bree. Berger seemed to enjoy the confrontation more than Spike did.

At the same time Hannibal met up with Zandar again in New Jersey. During their encounter they discussed whether Zandar could recruit Zarana into a closer relationship with Hannibal’s army, counter the wishes of Zartan, if necessary. So far, it seems that Hannibal has been increasingly wooing Zandar closer to Cobra, possibly driving a wedge between Zandar and his family of Dreadnoks. Hannibal’s larger purpose in this is unclear.
