Story

Left alone after the departure of the Minicons, Stella is driven to doodling. She draws pictures of the Minicons victorious and living in a flying castle, and muses whether they can draw any encouragement from her art...

The obligatory kick-ass Unicron pinup.

Far from Earth, in orbit around Cybertron, the battle against Unicron reaches its climax! Impulsor and Quench charge into battle, driven by rage at missing their farewell with Stella, while Swoop fights with unbridled fury to atone for his actions as Ravenus. Redline and the Super Stunt Team confront the Aqua Raiders once more; Redline offers them a chance to avoid a fight, but Midship taunts them as useless scraps. In response, Redline counters that Unicron fears the Minicons' true power, and unleashes it completely against the Chaos-Bringer...!

A year later, Stella has mostly returned to a regular life at school, and believes she will soon forget her adventures. But at lunch with her friends, Stella is surprised as her auburn hair suddenly glows bright yellow -- and transforms to platinum blonde!

And as the surviving Minicons prepare to settle down in their new flying fortress home, Stella knows her final wish -- to rejoin Redline and the others -- will come true any day now...
