Synopsis
Inside the Super Stunt Team's spaceship base, the five Mini-Cons construct a machine that will send Redline and Falcia into the Linkage, the Mini-Cons' shared "soul dimension". Once inside, the two seek out the mind of Twirl (whose Mini-Con storage panel was broken in battle) before it can diffuse forever into the Linkage, and bring it back to the physical world into a new body created by combining their own energies.

While in the Linkage, Redline notices something...

The plan is a success, and Twirl is revived. She offers to help out everyone in any way, mostly via redecorating the ship. A mildy-bewildered Stella asks that since Twirl's body is a combination of Redline and Falcia's energies, if this makes her their baby. Both "parents" quickly and loudly deny this.

Errors

 * TBA

Items of note

 * The battle where Twirl's panel was broken happened last issue.


 * Redline and Falcia plug energy cables into their toys' Powerlinx ports, a nice toy-driven detail.


 * Falcia's energy-form bears a resemblance to Beast Wars Airazor's Transmetal form. Considering her name was inspired by an early working name of Airazor's, it's appropriate.  Redline's resembles his pre-Earth robot mode.


 * A lot of text in this episode with litlte action. But it's a vital setup for events in later issues, plus helps explain some of the events of the cartoon as well.


 * What's that glowy red thing Redline sees inside the Linkage? All shall be revealed....


 * Page four is not a bio, but an explanation of the Mini-Con "digital entity frame", giving an explanation to the Mini-Cons' unique physiology.
