Dear Trailer Trainer,

The answer is no—at least, it was.

You may recall an occasion when an Optimus Prime was critically damaged by an Ore-13-enhanced Megatron. Optimus uploaded his mind into his Combat Deck's memory circuits and soon recovered. Unbeknownst to him, the Combat Deck had changed! After Optimus's mind returned to his body, some residual consciousness remained behind in the Combat Deck—imbuing it with a simple personality of its own, combining the nobility of Prime's spark with the pragmatism of its drone programming.

Wanna draw the new Pokémon trainer?

She pretty much already does. She feeds entire populations of people and funnels their money into whatever she wants.

Dear Culinary Curious,

As you might expect for a planet filled with a wide range of beings, Cybertron has numerous fuel preparation traditions—such as the famous Haule Cuisine, which requires exquisite planning. You won't be surprised to learn that many Constructicons specialise in it; I knew one Mixmaster who did a marvellous iridium confit served with an amalgam pâté.

More simplistic techniques are designed for easy refuelling, and are commonly referred to as base preparation. They result in filling meals such as iron filing casseroles, servo salads or energon chankonabe.

And of course, every region on Cybertron has its own specialist dishes. In Rodion you can find delicately assembled hosomechi and what I've been assured are red-energon-filled drillnuts. As travel between regions has become more common, techniques have been shared and mixed, resulting in scramble cuisine.

Dear Based Beholder,

Hun-Grr’s base mode houses a functioning set of scales. I am not sure what purpose this serves, as his other alt-mode already has scales.
