&#039;&#039;&#039;As the race grows more desperate, Knock Out harnesses the power of sound while Starscream gains the power of hyper speed.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] is still hard at work decoding coordinates, while [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] boasts about his defeat of Optimus. Soundwave soon comes up with another set of coordinates, and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] insists on going. Though Megatron is skeptical, recalling [[Tunnel Vision|the last time]], Knock Out insists he won&#039;t fail this time, and borrows Soundwave&#039;s [[Resonance Blaster]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|Autobot base]], [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] is likewise decoding coordinates. [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] annoys everyone by claiming it&#039;s his destiny to be a great warrior and being generally exuberant. To his disappointment, when Optimus decodes a set of coordinates, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] are the ones selected to go on the mission, and he&#039;s left at base. Arcee and Bumblebee arrive at a lakeside and spy the [[Omega Key]] sitting out in the open, but Knock Out is already there, waiting. The Resonance Blaster sends both Autobots flying and when they try to flank the Decepticon, he shoots it at the ground, raising a cloud of dust so he can use it as cover to zap them. By the time Arcee and Bumblebee recover, Knock Out is long gone with the key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back on the &#039;&#039;[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;, Megatron inspects the relic and wonders if it is a decoy. Soundwave decodes more coordinates which Megatron believes will provide them with more answers, but when Knock Out goes to investigate, Megatron instead gives him the key to analyze. Meanwhile, Bumblebee undergoes repairs, and Smokescreen&#039;s swagger continues to get on Arcee&#039;s nerves so she goes to find some peace and quiet. Bulkhead reminds Smokescreen that the war&#039;s been going on a long time and he needs to have patience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] is refining [[Red Energon]], but finding it slow work and with only a small yield. Luckily the &#039;&#039;[[Harbinger]]&#039;&#039; computer picks up more Decepticon activity, and Starscream decides he can use the Red Energon to obtain a more valuable artifact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots gain a new set of coordinates, and Bulkhead and Smokescreen roll out, though Arcee reminds Bulkhead to keep an eye on their eager comrade. The pair arrive on a forested mountainside where [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] is waiting. The Decepticon knocks them flat before flying off, and the two Autobots realize that Dreadwing has mined the trees. &#039;&#039;All&#039;&#039; of the trees. They manage to outrun the explosions, and Bulkhead sends Smokescreen after the relic while he goads Dreadwing into a fight. As they exchange blows, Dreadwing plants a bomb on Bulkhead&#039;s back, and after Bulkhead manages to knock him flat, smugly sets it to explode. Unfortunately for Dreadwing, Bulkhead already noticed the bomb and transferred it to his back during the fight, and though Dreadwing throws the bomb away, it goes off close enough to knock him out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smokescreen meanwhile uncovers the Omega Key, only to be rendered unconscious by a blow from behind. When Bulkhead wakes him, the key is already gone. Smokescreen&#039;s deflated by his failure, but as they return through the [[GroundBridge]], Bulkhead reminds him that they need all four keys to revive [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Starscream, hiding nearby with the key he grabbed, overhears them talking, and regards the key he holds with new respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arcee lectures Smokescreen on realistic expectations and tells him he needs to be a team player. Smokescreen leaves the base upset and Optimus, saying the young Autobot needs to clear his head, returns to decoding coordinates. On the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, Megatron is unhappy at Dreadwing&#039;s failure, and checks with Soundwave regarding the project to find where the Autobot base is located. Soundwave reports that he has [[Laserbeak (Prime)|Laserbeak]] scouting around [[Jasper]]. As both sides complete their decoding work, the final set of coordinates resolve into an image—a picture of Smokescreen. Unfortunately when Optimus tries to call in Smokescreen, the rookie doesn&#039;t answer, and has instead fallen into Laserbeak&#039;s sights. Laserbeak fires on Smokescreen who transforms, only to be knocked flat by the Resonance Blaster. When the Autobots arrive at the location, they&#039;re just in time to see Soundwave dragging their friend back to the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; through the Deception GroundBridge.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jack is assigned to help Smokescreen adapt to life on Earth while Megatron tries to secure the Star Saber without letting the Autobots know of its existence.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Legacy-cellphonecamera.jpg|left|thumb|300px|No pictures, NO PICTURES!!!]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] race down a Nevada road in search of an [[energon]] signal. Though Bumblebee tries to encourage Smokescreen to slow down, the rookie breaks the speed limit and almost runs into another vehicle. The driver jumps out to threaten Smokescreen, who promptly [[transformation|transforms]] and threatens him back. Bumblebee transforms to stop Smokescreen and the truck driver takes the opportunity to snap a picture of the pair. Back at base, [[Jack Darby|Jack]] locates the picture on the [[Internet]] and says [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] can deal with it later. The other [[Autobot]]s lecture Smokescreen about the concept of secrecy and [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] says they need to help Smokescreen acclimate to [[Earth]] through learning about [[human]] society. Jack is duly assigned to help Smokescreen and the pair head out, though [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] complains that she thinks Jack will be at risk because Smokescreen has the most obvious [[alternate mode]] ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Driving through [[Jasper]], Jack tries to educate Smokescreen on traffic lights, though Smokescreen is unable to stop joking around. When [[Vince]] hauls up beside them, Jack attempts to be inconspicuous, but Vince notices anyway and throws a burger at them. Smokescreen soon talks Jack into some retribution, and when they arrive back at base, Jack has a photo of Vince&#039;s burger-covered car. Arcee isn&#039;t impressed with their progress so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:PrimeLegacySmokescreen.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Though many tried for the sword with all their strength, none could move the sword, nor stir it.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the &#039;&#039;[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]&#039;&#039;, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] has finished decoding another set of coordinates from the Iacon database. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] gets a decoy ready. Thus when Optimus is also almost finished decoding the same coordinates, the base sensors pick up an Iacon locator beacon in [[China]]. Optimus takes Arcee, Bumblebee and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] to investigate. Meanwhile, Megatron has [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] and [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] busy excavating the real relic. Hoping it is of Decepticon origin, Megatron is shocked to see it is the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. Desperate to keep it from Optimus, Megatron tries to pull it free, but his efforts are to no avail and it remains firmly entrenched in the rock. Even trying to destroy the rock fails, as the sword&#039;s energy is rendering it invulnerable. Realizing that it will only respond to a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Megatron intends to uproot the entire mountain if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] picks up the signal from the Saber, but is unable to contact Prime. Prime&#039;s team is trying to track the first signal, unaware that it&#039;s the decoy being carried around by Soundwave. Smokescreen and Jack arrive back at base having pulled a prank on Jack&#039;s boss. When Ratchet reports the situation, Smokescreen volunteers to check out the second signal, and takes Jack along with him in secret. They find the Decepticons trying break the mountain down to a smaller size, and Smokescreen recognizes the Star Saber. Despite Jack&#039;s concerns, knowing that something is up if Megatron hasn&#039;t pulled the sword out, Smokescreen charges in as the Decepticons are preparing to lift the remaining rock with the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;. The Autobot proves as successful in extracting the sword as Megatron was, and is promptly captured by the Decepticons. While Jack tries to notify Ratchet, he is soon found and pursued by Insecticons. Ratchet gets enough from Jack&#039;s message to know what they&#039;ve found and they&#039;re in serious trouble, and [[GroundBridge]]s to Optimus&#039;s location just as the team there are realizing they were being led on a wild goose chase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Legacy-PrimeStarSaber.jpg|left|thumb|300px|It is an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; starts lifting the massive rock holding the Star Saber, Megatron begins interrogating Smokescreen with little effect. Prime&#039;s team suddenly arrives and starts laying into the Decepticons troops. Megatron looks around for Optimus himself, and spots the Autobot leader rapidly scaling the mountain in pursuit of the Star Saber, so he and some jet Vehicons take off to try to intercept. The other Autobots finish off the rest of the Decepticon troopers and Arcee rescues Jack from the Insecticons. Despite the best efforts of Megatron and his troops, Optimus manages to grab hold of the Star Saber which activates and pulls free of the rock. Megatron orders the rock dropped on him, but even as the other Autobots shout warnings, Prime merely uses the Star Saber to slice the whole thing in half. In shock, Megatron helplessly looks on as Prime follows up by taking a swing, unleashing a wave of energy at the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, destroying part of its engine array and nearly causing the ship to crash into the mountainside. The Decepticons hastily retreat as their leader laments over his failure and believes it is now their darkest hour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Autobots return to base, where Arcee is very unhappy with Smokescreen and Jack. She has Ratchet send the latter home and Optimus makes plain to the former that endangering humans is forbidden. As he reminds them of the importance of protecting humans, the sword begins to glow on its own, and Optimus goes into a trance-like state. Stating that he&#039;s receiving a message, Prime identifies the caller: [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;...I just pulled a Miko.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Jack&#039;&#039;&#039; realizes what he just did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Who in the Pits of [[Kaon]] is that?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; meets the new guy.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;All this leg-work is giving me itchy fists!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Bulkhead&#039;&#039;&#039; is back on form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;How epic was that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Smokescreen&#039;&#039;&#039; relays the viewer&#039;s feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
===Animation and technical errors===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Whilst Optimus is explaining why it was all their fault the incident had occured in the beginning of this episode, you can see the side parts of his back pass through his arms on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
* Smokescreen has the same [[license plate]] as [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] and [[June Darby|June]].&lt;br /&gt;
* During the excavation of the Star Saber, one of Insecticons who transport pieces of rock suddenly loses a leg.&lt;br /&gt;
* Optimus would not have been able to realign his flight trajectory when he took a glancing shot in his truck mode and transformed into robot mode; he would have continued spinning while flying.&lt;br /&gt;
* Arcee&#039;s right arm silently changes into a blaster as the Decepticons begin firing at the Autobots at the pod site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Continuity notes===&lt;br /&gt;
* Yet another picture of the Autobots ends up on the internet, and again Bumblebee is in it, as in &amp;quot;[[One Shall Fall]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[New Recruit]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Arcee mentions that [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] is in the process of relocating [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] and his family, since the Decepticons learned where he lives in [[The Human Factor|the previous episode]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Bulkhead is now fully recovered from his injuries received in &amp;quot;[[Toxicity]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Jack asks Arcee if she still remembers Vince since her first encounter in &amp;quot;[[Speed Metal]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Jack refers to his uncharacteristic lack of foresight as &amp;quot;pulling a [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]]&amp;quot;, a nod to her repeated habit of running into trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another relic of [[Solus Prime]] is uncovered; the first was the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] found in &amp;quot;[[Operation Bumblebee, Part 2]]&amp;quot;, and the second was the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]] found in &amp;quot;[[Triangulation]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Bulkhead returns the favor to Smokescreen from the previous episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* Optimus receives a message from Alpha Trion, who was first mentioned by Smokescreen in &amp;quot;New Recruit&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first time we hear Megatron refer to Optimus as just &amp;quot;Prime&amp;quot; when he flies off to intercept him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Continuity errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ratchet is reluctant to send Smokescreen by himself to investigate the second relic, but concedes since he has no other choice. He seems to have forgotten about [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. However, given Ratchet&#039;s anger at Wheeljack for the events of &amp;quot;[[Hurt]]&amp;quot;, he may simply be too stubborn to ask him for help (and he didn&#039;t like him before anyway, although at the end of &amp;quot;Triage&amp;quot; they did seem to have a new found mutual respect for each other. no matter how small).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transformers references===&lt;br /&gt;
* Jack mentions [[Robots In Disguise]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode marks yet another use of the phrase &amp;quot;[[darkest hour]]&amp;quot;, only this time it&#039;s the Decepticons who get to use it.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first &amp;quot;[[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]&amp;quot; sword was the combined form of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] in &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Transformers: Armada]]&#039;&#039;, while the [[Thirteen]]-affiliated iteration was first mentioned in &amp;quot;[[The Coming Storm: Part 1]].&amp;quot; Technically, the name originated from [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], the Autobot [[Supreme Commander]] from &#039;&#039;[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Transformers: Victory]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Real-world references===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Star Saber&#039;s location and its inability to be removed except by a Prime is a reference to &#039;&#039;[[wikipedia:Excalibur#Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone|Excalibur]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* The truck driver referred to Smokescreen&#039;s alternate mode as from the Indy 500, a motor racing competition. Even though Smokescreen&#039;s altmode is nothing like an open-wheel Indy car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trivia===&lt;br /&gt;
* Bumblebee warns Smokescreen about the speed limit, but apparently didn&#039;t think it was important to warn him that he&#039;s driving into oncoming traffic.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vince&#039;s behavior hasn&#039;t changed since the events of &amp;quot;Speed Metal&amp;quot;. Some people just don&#039;t learn their lessons.&lt;br /&gt;
* The fact that Team Prime seems reliant on Raf for their data manipulation is a bit weird, given Fowler&#039;s presumed government contacts. Makes you wonder what they did before the kids turned up...&lt;br /&gt;
