>>6163540Despite taking pride in his ability to transport things, Astrotrain finds it difficult to continue his line of work at Decepticon Tera-Kura Co. now that he's a tiny Headmaster and can barely carry a couple of energon cubes. He demands a transtector, but Megatron explains that with Tarantulas and Devil Z out of the picture, the company can no longer build them. Astrotrain argues how important his function is to the Decepticons, only for Ultra Magnus to offer to transport cargo in his car carrier mode instead, effectively replacing poor Astrotrain. While drowning his sorrows, he runs into Tarantulas, who's escaped prison and is on the run, and agrees to hide him from the law... in exchange for a transtector.
Tarantulas finishes the new body, and is shocked when Astrotrain next orders him to mass-produce it. His plan is to form an Astro Corps by creating his own company and attracting other bodiless Headmasters from both sides by offering them free transtectors. With his new troops, he will then crush both Tera-Kura and Autobot Axalon and build his Astrotrain Empire!
