'''Jack learns how to restore Optimus's memory.'''

==Synopsis==
On the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] points his missiles at [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]. Accidentally addressing him as "Optimus Prime", the former Seeker realizes something is wrong. Through a brief conversation, Starscream learns of [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s deception to Orion, and states that the archivist has much to learn. He begins to speak, but is interrupted by a team of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]]. Starscream leaps into action and makes a quick escape, and Pax is ordered to stay in his quarters, his curiosity piqued.

Back at base, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] finishes adjustments on the [[GroundBridge]]'s power level, hoping to increase its range. [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] pilots a test subject in the form of a toy car into the bridge, but instead of teleporting, it is destroyed. Raf consoles Ratchet on the failure, saying it was only the first try, but Ratchet thinks it was a doomed idea from the start. In an effort to cheer him up, Raf tells the story of his slow triumph over the rope climb in gym class, but it falls on oblivious ears, since Ratchet doesn't understand what gym class has to do with increasing the Ground Bridge's power level.

In the halls of the ''Nemesis'', Starscream deftly maneuvers his way past many guards, blasting a door out in his bid for freedom. Seconds away from escape, a laser blast catches his tail, and he spins to the ground. Orion is soon visited by Megatron, who apologizes for the commotion. Orion asks why Megatron told him Starscream was dead, and he replies that Starscream is dead to the Decepticon cause—a defector to the Autobots. Megatron departs, but Orion's interest is piqued by Starscream's reference to him, and he begins to read more about this "Optimus Prime." On the database page for Optimus Prime (which displays a false image of a menacing-looking robot), Orion reads that the name belonged to the leader of the Autobot faction, who was not Ratchet, as Megatron told him.

[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] arrives at base, and reports no leads on the location of the Decepticons' [[space bridge]]. About to send Bulkhead on his way to the next search quadrant, Ratchet receives a high-frequency message of peculiar nature: it is addressed to him, and is from Starscream. The plane tells him that he must come alone with a medical kit to repair him, in exchange for valuable intel about Optimus.

In a forest, the Ground Bridge portal opens, to the surprise and dismay of the wounded Starscream, for both Ratchet and Bulkhead step out. Ratchet plays no games with his help, refusing to repair him unless he gets some useful information. Realizing his compromised position, Starscream tells all, but succumbs to horror when he finds the Autobots already know it as well, and plan to abandon him as a result. As Ratchet and Bulkhead depart, the medic responds to Starscream's pleading with the ultimatum that unless he knows anything about the space bridge, he's going to rot. The jet is amazed that his troops finished his project when he was gone, then realizes that this is the information Ratchet is looking for. He smugly shows the Autobot where it hurts.

The group convenes at base to discuss the plan of action in seizing the space bridge. [[June Darby|June]] voices her concern at the prospect of [[Jack Darby|Jack]] traveling to another planet, but is reassured by [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[William Fowler|Fowler]], and realizes the necessity of his mission. Ratchet works out a plan, where all four Autobots storm the space bridge chamber, jamming communications to block the deployment of Decepticon reinforcements. Fowler offers Jack a spacesuit for use on Cybertron, and Arcee volunteers to go with him. The Ground Bridge opens, and the team enters.

At the Space Bridge complex, the team makes quick work of the guards. One attempts to send a message to control, but is stymied by Ratchet's scrambler and Bulkhead's fist. They arrive at the bridge, and Jack, fully decked out in a donated spacesuit from [[NASA]], is bridged to the location. The space bridge is activated, and the duo step through to Arcee's homeworld and Jack's destiny.

In the complex, the remaining Autobots are stopped in their tracks by a transmission from [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]], asking for a status report. As he makes continual demands for a report, who should take the call is fumbled over, as Ratchet and Bulkhead's voices would be recognized, and Bumblebee can't speak at all. Ratchet settles on Agent Fowler, and he is patched through. He manages to field the call, and turns it around, asking Breakdown how he was, to surprising success.

Meanwhile, Orion searches through all files he can on "Optimus Prime", only to find that they have been altered, the true files encrypted, to his chagrin. However, Orion, a skillful hacker, manages to get past them and find an image that shocks him; ''he'' is Optimus Prime! This does not go unnoticed by [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] and Megatron. The latter vows that he ''will'' see to it that Orion completes [[Project Iacon]], even if he has to inflict grievous pain on him.

On Cybertron, Jack and Arcee follow the [[Key to Vector Sigma|Key]]'s signal and are surprised to find that it leads to [[Kaon]], the Decepticon capital, which is now abandoned, except, as Arcee puts it, for "Vermin". As they advance on foot, they cross a bridge, unaware that underneath them, one such Vermin is transforming and beginning to follow them...

==Quotes==
"You truly are being kept in the dark, aren't you?"
:—'''Starscream''', upon learning of "Orion's" deception.

"The Decepticon Space Bridge is located right here, deep within an energon mine." 
"Adjacent to a raw fuel supply, clever. What's our intel?" 
"A... reliable source" 
:—'''Ratchet''' talks to '''Arcee''' about their tip, without realizing he's calling a Decepticon reliable.

"Command, this is Space Bridge Control! We are under attack! Command, do you read me?" 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>commlink static* 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Bulkhead smashes the Vehicon's face''* 
"Shhhh."
:—A '''Vehicon''' is reminded of the no talking rule by '''Ratchet'''.

"Don't worry, Space Bridging is just like Ground Bridging." 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Space Bridge fires up with a loud noise* 
"JUST A LITTLE MORE INTENSE."
:—'''Arcee''' tries to ease '''Jack's''' nerves about going on the big boy rides.

"Somebody say something, pronto!" 
"Rafael, patch in Agent Fowler."
:—'''Agent Fowler''' gets exactly what he wants, just not what he expected.

"You have one nano-cycle to respond or-" 
"This is space bridge control... situation normal." 
"Normal? You sure about that?" 
"We were just, calibrating the sub-systems and, we uh, had a surge, but it's fine now. How are ''you?''" 
"...Uh, uh, never better. I know it's thankless down there, keep up the good work, huh?" 
"Will do, control out."
:—'''Breakdown''' and '''Fowler''' demonstrate that hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good "how are you" at your side.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
Ratchet's optics remain green through part of the episode. They were the same color, when he used synthetic energon on himself.

===Continuity errors===
*There's no evidence of [[Dark Energon]] on Cybertron, much less any [[Terrorcon (Prime)|zombies]], despite Megatron having used enough to cover the entire planet in "[[Darkness Rising, Part 5]]".

===Continuity notes===
*Raf has undergone a rapid recovery; the braces on his legs from last episode are gone.
*Ratchet notes that Breakdown would recognize his or Bulkhead's voice. The latter is due to Breakdown and Bulkhead's rivalry (seen from Breakdown's first appearance in "[[Deus Ex Machina]]"), and the former is probably from Breakdown's encounter with Ratchet in "[[Stronger, Faster]]".
*Kaon, the Decepticon capital, makes its first actual appearance, following Megatron's dream recreation of it in "[[Sick Mind]]". Jack remembers it from the events of that episode after Arcee identifies it.

===Transformers references===

===Real-world references===
*The scene of Fowler talking to Breakdown is a reference to a similar scene in ''[[Star Wars]] Episode IV: A New Hope''. However, this time the guy on the other end responds more warmly to the "how are you?" bit.

===Trivia===
* Aww, Breakdown cares about the worker bots.
* This is the second time Megatron denounces a mistake relating to Starscream that he "[[Out of His Head|does not intend to make again]]".

'''A team of Rescue Bots is assigned by Optimus Prime to work with the Burns family on the island of Griffin Rock'''.

==Synopsis==
Somewhere in space, a drifting Autobot spaceship receives a message from [[Optimus Prime (RB)|Optimus Prime]] directing them to [[Earth]]. The ship automatically changes course and eventually touches down in a military base. The four members of [[Rescue Force Sigma-17]] emerge and are greeted by Optimus himself, who informs them that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is no longer the [[Autobot]]s' home.

On the island of [[Griffin Rock]], [[Cody Burns]] is biking to school when his [[Charlie Burns|dad]] pulls up alongside in the old police car, which is soon to be replaced with a new car as part of the town's function as a hi-tech testing ground. Cody wants to test drive the new vehicles, but the rest of his family points out they're for grown-ups.

Optimus tells the new arrivals that he has a new mission for them: to live with a [[human]] family and learn more about Earth, but they must do so disguised as normal machines. He gives them rescue vehicles to [[scanning|scan]], though [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] is unenthusiastic when he discovers the [[alternate mode]] he's ended up with flies. Optimus introduces them to Chief Charlie Burns, the only human who knows the [[Rescue Bots]]' true nature.

That afternoon, Cody arrives at the dedication, where he meets [[Frankie Greene]] and her father, [[Doc Greene]], in the audience, though Frankie's more interested in the new exhibit of robot dinosaurs at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]]. Chief Burns introduces the gathered crowd to the Rescue Bots, describing them as new hi-tech robots which will work with him and his family as a rescue response unit. When a butterfly lands on [[Boulder]]'s face, the Autobot instinctively goes to shoo it away, but is stopped by [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]. However, Cody's suspicions are already raised. When Cody jumps up and knocks on Boulder's foot, he's told to get lost by [[Huxley Prescott|a reporter]]. The press photos are interrupted when word comes in of a fire at the Natural History Museum.

Burns and his rescue squad head to the museum, although [[Dani Burns|Dani]] discovers her helicopter doesn't seem to like flying too high. [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] begins clearing the humans from the area, though is confused when a couple of Egyptian mummies fail to comply. [[Graham Burns|Graham]] is bemused when he tells Boulder to move some planters and the Autobot responds that it would ruin the aesthetics. They manage to get the fire out, and Graham locates the cause: a short in one of the robotic dinosaurs. While he's fixing it, Cody sneaks into the museum, having followed the team on his bike. He's therefore present to witness Heatwave saving Chief Burns and Graham from a falling dinosaur head. Burns explains it as Heatwave having been left in rescue mode, and [[Kade Burns|Kade]] is glad to take the credit. As they leave the museum, the eyes on a short-circuiting animatronic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' light up ominously!

That night, back in the fire station, the Rescue Bots take a lift down to a [[Cold War (history)|Cold War]] bunker underneath the station. Upstairs, Cody excuses himself from dinner with his family and heads downstairs, where he catches the Rescue Bots complaining about their new gig. Heatwave has just decided they're going to leave when Cody speaks up. The Rescue Bots realize their cover is blown, but after introductions are made, Cody shows them that there are many tunnels leading around the island from the bunker. They check out a giant robot movie at a drive in, and Cody attempts to teach the Rescue Bots how to act like "real" robots as well as give them tips on dealing with his siblings. Lessons are brought to a halt when they spot the robotic ''T. rex'' from the museum, now rampaging along the street. As it moves into the drive-in, Cody gets Chase to start his lights, and they establish the thing is attracted to light. They begin leading the creature to a safe area while Cody contacts his dad.

Burns takes the rest of his family in the old squad car, and they soon catch up with the Rescue Bots as the chase moves outside town. While they try to work out how to deal with the rogue dinosaur, Cody calls Frankie. Soon Boulder is extracting a jail cell from the police station, which Dani and Blades fly to the scene. Meanwhile, Chase keeps the ''T. rex'' occupied, and Kade and Heatwave wet some ground to make mud. Kade is shocked when Heatwave transforms, attracts the dinosaur's attention, and then throws it into the mud. Dani lowers the makeshift cage over it, allowing Cody to shut the dinosaur down.

The next day, they return the dinosaur to the museum, and Burns decides to get a picture of "his heroes" outside. After Heatwave tells Kade that Cody's part of the team or the Rescue Bots leave, Chief Burns reveals that they're not just robots, they're aliens.
