Issue: #198
Christmas day, a time for joy, warmth and happiness... unless you're Optimus Prime. Since his rebirth he's found his commitment to protecting the humans and their planet waning. Meanwhile the Autobot Powermasters cause mischief for themselves as they investigate mysterious 'giant robots' that destroyed buildings in a nearby town. A prelude to Time Wars.
