Megatron tries to drain oil out of the [[Earth]] several times using several ridiculous methods.

==Synopsis==

Megatron and Soundwave pilot a gigantic, hovering fuel transport they have stolen from the [[human]]s over a link on the Alaskan Pipeline. Having bribed a human worker with the promise of a new Jeep, their plan is to siphon off oil discreetly and gradually, but Megatron gets immediately impatient. After the nameless Decepticon goons attach the cables, Megatron starts sucking up oil at a ridiculous rate. When the human gets angry, Megatron blasts him... with a stun-ray. Pansy. Little does Megatron know that the human's new Jeep is actually the disguised [[Autobot]] Hound, who transmits the information back to Prowl at the Autobot base.

==Stats==
As part of the "[[See & Read]]" series, this story came in two different formats, both times as the second story in a set alongside "[[Satellite of Doom]]".

Both stories were told in picture-book form, coming with an audio cassette with the story narrations and acting on it. This version also came packaged with the yellow version of [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]... who didn't appear in the stories.

An "animated" VHS version was also available, using chroma-key to animate the static pictures cheesily, with the storybook text superimposed on the bottom of the screen.

===Animation and/or technical glitches===

* The two Decepticon thugs have [[Seeker]] bodies, but are completely uncolored. They're solid white like the snow around them.

===Continuity errors===

* The cover depicts Prime and Megatron shooting it out at an oil pumping station, when in fact Optimus ''never leaves the base'' in the story. Wow.

===Transformers references===

===Miscellaneous trivia===
* This is one of several "episodes" to have been given the [[MSTF]] treatment at the official Transformers conventions... specifically, at [[OTFCC 2003]].

* The humans have a colossal, hovering supertanker transport... the right size for Transformers to pilot comfortably. ''Alllllllllllllll''righty.

* This dude is willing to sell out the Earth...for a ''Jeep''? Geez, at least Berger wanted to be mayor. And how did Hound get in on this, anyway?
