Transformers EX #9: Hope For The Next Generation (part 1)

The forces of the Master Class had assembled in the Autobot headquarters. They waited to be briefed on the operation to attack the Decepticon hideout that had been located thanks to Marinemaster’s information.

Standing before them was a dark figure…

As the Autobots nodded the affirmative, Jetmaster put the group’s sentiment into words.

“You bet we would, Major Clouder. We trust you with our lives.”
“Thank you. In that case, Autobots! Let’s transform and roll out!”
