It all started as a rescue mission. The Astroplex was to find the Axalon and capture the evil Megatron and his crew of renegade Predacons.

But, little did Maximal Commander Alpha Hound know his Predacon equal on this mission, was a former follower of Megatron, and would decide to aid his former friend, against the Maximals.

Now Alpha Hound and the crew of the Astroplex are off to the other side of the planet to search for lost Stasis Pods and alien relics that the Predacons want to further their villanous plans.

And still, at the heart of their mission, the capture of the rogue Predacons. But now there are more to capture.
