'''The Autobots attempt to round up those crazy Dinobots but the Decepticons interfere....'''

==Synopsis==
After finding out that the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] have probably lost control due to their primary [[cybo-dendron]]s having burnt out, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] assigns the [[Autobot]]s into teams to capture [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]], and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] before they can harm any [[human]]s.

The B-Team (consisting of [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]) are assigned to [[Black Rock Desert]] in [[Nevada]] to capture Snarl, which they do (thanks to the help of a prototype molecular disintegration bomb being developed at a secret [[United States military|army]] base that Snarl destroys). Unfortunately, [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] has been watching, giving the [[Decepticon]]s knowledge of the Autobots' mission and they make plans to disrupt it as much as possible.

In the waterways of [[Littlewood]], [[California]], Sludge is contentedly being filmed by [[Joy Meadows]] while the A-Team (cue music—[[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]) look for him. Unfortunately, a Decepticon group consisting of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], and [[Scavenger (G1)|Scavenger]] manage to find and knock out Sludge first. Stumbling upon the unconscious Sludge, the A-Team gets taken out by the Decepticons, pleasing Soundwave greatly.

The Decepticon plan suffers a setback when they are too late to capture Slag in [[Old River Valley]], [[Idaho]]. A fried Laserbeak tells them of how [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] (of D-Team) managed to capture Slag (mainly by blocking Slag's flamethrower with Laserbeak in an attempt to make Idaho Fried Decepticon). However, Soundwave is unconcerned by this setback.

The reason for Soundwave's lack of concern is revealed—the Decepticons have found Grimlock before the Autobots and have set Sludge on him. The town of [[Doonstown]] is reduced to a war zone as the two Dinobots fight, plunging into a frozen lake as they do. [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] are early casualties as they try to stop the fight. Summoned by an urgent S.O.S., Optimus Prime, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], and [[Prowl (G1)|Peowl]] speed to the scene. The first three arrive and Prime attempts to keep the Dinobots in the lake while Ratchet goes to tend the members of C-Team and Bumblebee finds a hidden energy source.

The energy source turns out to be a cloaked [[Ark shuttlecraft|Autobot shuttle]] with [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] (as prisoners) and a [[sonic lance]] on board. Bumblebee rescues the captured Autobots as Prowl transfers his shuttle's electrical systems to the hull and bails out. The shock knocks out Grimlock, but Sludge, still controlled by the sonic lance, lunges for Optimus Prime. Bumblebee realizes that the sonic lance is probably booby-trapped so he blows the shuttle up, causing Sludge to pass out before he can attack Prime.

Nearby, the Decepticons (having found an oil rig to steal energy from) hear the explosion and an elated Soundwave shouts that the Decepticons have emerged triumphant. Optimus Prime hears Soundwave but realizes he can do nothing until his injured Autobots are repaired.

* During part 3, Slag's horn pierces Jetfire in the chest through the middle of his Decepticon insignia. Yet when Soundwave finds the buckled insignia later, it is intact with no sign of damage.
* On the last page of part 3, Sideswipe is shown to be badly injured before the transmission cuts off. In part 4, he states that he went back to the ship to call for reinforcements, then states that "I'm not totally sure my distress call got through as at that moment one of them decided to chew through my shuttle's fuel tank." Therefore he should not have been injured when talking to Prime.
