Scrapped.. by the Scraplets!
And introducing the Triple Changers!
Decepticons have lost a spacecraft sent from Cybertron to supply fuel to their comrades on Earth. Ratbat sends The Triple Changers - Astrotrain, Blitzwing and Octane - to investigate. They discover the pilot infected by tiny metal-eating and self-replicating machines called Scraplets. The Autobot deserters Blaster and Goldbug also arrive to the crater made by the crashed spaceship.
