Escalation #3 (of 6) - The action erupts onto the world stage, as Megatron and his Decepticons stir things up in the disputed (breakaway) Soviet state of Brasnya, initiating an incendiary border conflict. Meanwhile, the Autobots—aware that one of the Decepticons’ (facsimile) bio-constructs is active in the area—move to intercept, setting up a truly explosive confrontation.

Spotlight: Ultra Magnus - This month, the spotlight falls on Ultra Magnus, the Autobots' implacable, upstanding long arm of the (intergalactic) law. But now- in pursuit of his "most wanted" (and elusive) adversary- just how far (outside the law) is Magnus willing to go?

Animated movie #4 (of 4) - The world-shattering conclusion of the 4-part adaptation of the classic 1986 Transformers movie! Unicron sets out to destroy the Transformers' home planet Cybertron- and only the power of the Matrix can stop him!
