The first story seems a little bit like an average Star Trek epsiode - the TFs wander into a nebula and all start becoming very angry and violent. Of course, it's all the fault of some strange alien parasites that feed off rage. Sorry, Simon Furman, but I thought you were better than this.
The second story is more entertaining though. If you've been wondering where the G1 'Cons have been, now's the time you find out...
