This one-shot issue comes packaged with Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS: "Battle In Space" 2-pack, featuring Rodimus and Cyclonus in a tale that takes place during the events of the 1986 Transformers animated film.
Taking place in-between events seen in the Transformers Animated film, Hot Rod (Rodimus), Kup and the other Autobots are on their way to meet up with their fellow warriors, when Cyclonus attacks!
Rodimus remembers touching the Matrix of leadership at Optimus Prime's death and is reminded of an ancient Cybertronian tradition of challenging your opponent to a one-on-one duel. Cyclonus accepts, and is seemingly defeated...until he attacks Kup and Rodimus' ship head-on in flight mode. Scourge shows up and attacks Cyclonus in an attempt to keep from being shown up by Cyclonus.
Rodimus, Kup and the rest are reunited with their fellow Autobot companions in the end.
