The war is a receding memory, their patchy service records have been forgotten, and the five of them can roam the galaxy as they please. All's well that ends well? Not quite. Collects issues #13-18.

Ratchet, Rodimus, the Decepticon Justice Division, and Grimlock all take turns on the center stage as the adventures of the starship Lost Light, in search of the Knights of Cybertron, takes the crew into dangerous territory.
