Out in the Cybertronian colonies, good entertainment is hard to find. Fortunately, there’s always the Wreckers—brave Cybertronians broadcasting death-defying stunts and action—all as a cover for undercover operations! When the only event bigger than a new Wreckers broadcast, the Speedia 500, a race for governmental control of a whole world, is threatened, the Wreckers have a new mission: Save the most viewed race in the galaxy... without getting caught. Wreck & Rule!

Wonderful addition to the Wreckers lore, although this reminds me that my favorite Transformers continuity - the one that was nuked to create the currant one - is gone. It's bittersweet, especially since the main title doesn't hold water when compared to the main sister series before this...

But if the continuity had to go, at least I get good miniseries like this, and Mariotte does the Wreckers justice.

Mayhem, an anonymous group that disapproves of Velocitron's method of picking leaders - that is whoever wins the race wins the power. They want democracy, true democracy where the people choose who rules - and they will kill to achieve their aims when all else fails. They chose the Wrecker's signal to hijack, to spread their message - knowing that the Wreckers wouldn't let this stand.

Meanwhile, they hit Velocitron and while everyone goes to recon, Circuit is sent to see how the signal was hijacked. Mode locked, he finds himself an outcast - and then someone sneaks up on him...

I'm excited to see how this plays out.
