Expelled from Decepticon ranks, Octane is now working as a smuggler, trying to stay under the radar and keep the cash flowing. But Galvatron has a long memory for revenge and puts a price on the head of the shifty triple-changer. Ducking bounty hunters at every turn, Octane finds an unlikely ally in the form of a familiar face.
