Teletraan 15rushes the past Black Panther Man, but the present one clamps his jaws down on her ankle, stopping her cold. Through the bite, he howls that she's going to ruin his plan... he had traveled from the future to use theAutobotcomputer's data to alter the timestream and remove "unnecessary conflict". 15 is resolute though, and uses her buzzsaw-arm tocut off her own leg to free herself.She then lunges at Teletraan I's control panel, thrusting her buzzsaw into it. The damage erases chunks ofbioandTech Specsdata... and there's a flash of light...

Back inside the cruiser, 10 helps a heavily-damaged 15 stay upright. Black Panther Man admits a grudging respect for his subordinates for foiling his plan... then promptly dumps the girls and cassettes out of the ship, then vanishes in a burst of transwarp. Despite their predicament, 15 is happy to have averted a major time catastrophe.

Notes

• And thus, the saga of Teletraan 15 draws to a close, with yet another wacky time-loop.
• We finally find out the nature of the missionUltra Magnusgave the Cassettrons back in "Sparkbots Volume 2",though how he got wind of all this is kind of up in the air.
• Yeah, we all know Black Panther Man isPredaconRavage from the future. But at no point in the comic is he ever explicitly called by his original name.
• Again, the art in this volume is both very pencil-sketchy, and very crowded, with a whopping18panels on a single page.
