"Perhaps the time has come for me to fight as a soldier, too...!!"
Synopsis
Ramjet is questioning Starscream about the new mech they found frozen in a glacier up in the Arctic Circle, for whom Starscream has unsavory plans involving a mask/helmet. Back down in Japan, the Seekers are raiding an energy plant, revealing the newcomer as Skyfire. Amidst the plundering, Skyfire pleads with Starscream to stop shooting at the human workers and to add to the beginning misfortune of the Decepticon, the Autobots show up to save the workers. Skyfire still pleading, Starscream yells at him that Skyfire's reason for living is that of a soldier. Just before getting shot at, Skyfire finally rips off the control helmet and proclaims that he considers himself a scientist (with a brand, spankin' new Autobot symbol), but will become a soldier to defend humans from those like his old friend. Watching the Seekers retreat, Skyfire wistfully reminisces that he and Starscream never got along well entirely in the past.

Notes
- Although the control mask/helmet wasn't featured in the original episode, this volume is a full-on homage to their reunion and relationship—from Skyfire dug out of ice and temporarily with the Decepticons, Starscream mentioning their past scientist days, to the big guy eventually joining with the Autobots.
- Neither pack-in or manga share continuity due to the differences on how Skyfire is introduced and how he joins the Autobots.
