Transformers: Energon Volume 1: A New Threat Paperback - 2004

From the publisher

Ocean City, a Cybertron settlement, rises out of the ocean. A boy named Kicker is riding on a new form of Highwire and drives past Demolisher. Kicker is pursued by Hot Shot and finally catches up with him. Kicker has a thing against Transformers and that's what his mom and sister might know. We see a flashback of Adult Rad, Adult Carlos, and Adult Alexis arriving on Cybertron with a young Kicker and his dad. He gets scared from the appearance of the Autobots. On Mars, the Energon mining settlement called Mars City that Carlos is at is being attacked by the Terrorcons and so is a mining settlement that Tidal Wave is at. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jetfire, and Inferno head to Mars, but they're too late and Carlos is still alive. Kicker still has a problem with the Autobots until his hair glows yellow. We see another flashback of him on Cybertron hiding from Optimus Prime until he falls down a shaft and is hanging over the essence of Primus and gets this weird power from him. Kicker runs out, with Hot Shot pursuing him, and Kicker says that the city will be attacked. This comes true. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jetfire, and Inferno join the fight, as well as Demolisher. As Kicker falls off
