'''Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr.''' (born [[January 20]], [[1930]]) is a [[NASA]] astronaut and pilot on the [[Apollo 11]] mission.

He has a hell of a right hook.

After detecting a UFO crashing on the far side of the Moon, the Americans and Soviets entered the space race to reach the Moon and unlock its secrets. Buzz Aldrin and [[Neil Armstrong]] were among a mere thirty-five people on Earth who knew the true purpose of the Apollo mission.

Following their fateful transmission, the Apollo mission feigned a period of interrupted radio communications. This gave Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin twenty-one minutes to investigate [[Ark (DOTM)|the spacecraft]] without the knowledge of the general public. They returned to Earth and disclosed their findings to their superiors, and for decades no one learned of their mission.

Many years later, however, recovery of Cybertronian materials from a Soviet site brought to light what happened on the Apollo mission. Buzz Aldrin's knowledge was declassified, and he had the privilege to meet [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots at [[NEST]]'s headquarters. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

'''Steeljaw creates a plan to infiltrate the scrapyard by sending Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Strongarm into a trap.'''

==Synopsis==
{{spoiler|Misdirection|April 3}}

[[Russell Clay|Russell]] demonstrates a magic trick to the [[Autobot]]s, using sleight of hand to make a coin disappear. The Autobots are stumped, but [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] is confident it's all jsut a trick. Russell explains how he used misdirection to slip the coin into his pocket. [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] detects a [[Decepticon]] signal approaching the [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]]'s front gate, and Bumblebee, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] head to intercept, ready for the fight of their lives. Instead when they open the door, a visibly-wounded [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] collapses at their feet, muttering about being betrayed by [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]]. They seal Steeljaw in a [[stasis pod]], triple-checking the seals, as Fixit looks up information on Scorponok. Once again, Scorponok isn't on the ''[[Alchemor]]'' prisoner manifest, but Fixit succeeds in locating his rap sheet in a larger Cybertronian database. Figuring that they can follow the trail of leaked energon left by Steeljaw, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock roll out.

They eventually reach a run-down drive-in, and soon have to conceal themselves behind the screen as someone approaches; Scorponok, accompanied by a pair of [[Mini-Con]]s, who is irritated that the person he's come to meet isn't there. [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]] and [[Slicedice]] arrive moments later, however they're all actually there to meet Steeljaw. As they discuss the absence of the other Con and the "elite warriors" he promised, Bumblebee listens in and realizes that Steeljaw has set them up for a trap. Indeed, back at base, Steeljaw is breaking free from his stasis pod. Bumblebee tries unsuccessfully to contact Fixit, before ordering Strongarm to head back while he and Grimlock distract the Decepticons. Scorponok is growing increasingly impatient with Crazybolt's antics, but the Decepticons are saved from an altercation between themselves by Bumblebee and Grimlock attacking to cover Strongarm's retreat. While Grimlock tackles Scorponok and Bumblebee struggles with the two Mini-Cons, Crazybolt and Slicedice are anxious to split, but Crazybolt realizes Scorponok would probably hunt him down if they do, so he decides to try and take out Bumblebee with a concentrated flame-blast.

Back at base, Fixit, Russell and [[Denny Clay|Denny]] are trapped in a subsonic force field while Steeljaw shows off the device he used to escape the stasis pod. Though Denny thinks Bumblebee will be back soon, Steeljaw merely smirks, and heads over to free some of the other Decepticons from their pods.

Crazybolt's flames have rendered the two Mini-Cons unconscious, but Bumblebee grabs Slicedice and uses him as an impromptu shield before flinging him at Crazybolt. Though Grimlock is holding his own against Scorponok, the Decepticon manages to get the upper hand and sends the Dinobot flying. Scorponok then uses Grimlock as a hostage to get Bumblebee to sheath his weapon.

Steeljaw has freed a collection of his fellow prisoners, though [[Thunderhoof]] immediately wants to know why they should work for him again after the disaster of their last collaboration. Steeljaw offers his apologies, and gives them the coordinates to the crashed ship which Scorponok and [[Glowstrike]] are using as a base, saying they're free to go if there's nothing there. The Decepticons head out, but Steeljaw stays, intent on prizing some "[[Decepticon Hunter|advanced weaponry]]" from his prisoners... but then Storngarm arrives. Though Steeljaw is initially confident, she beats three shades of tar out of him, and he's forced to resort to his trump card, threatening the three captives in his subsonic field.

Back at the drive-in, Bumblebee buys time for Grimlock to recover by offering to enlighten Scorponok about Steeljaw's "true" plans, claiming he's after the planet's "magic". Though the Decepticons are dubious, Bee uses sleight of hand to make a rock disappear, stunning the Decepticons just long enough for him to take advantage and throw Crazybolt into Scorponok. The Decepticons enraged, they fail to notice Grimlock is back up and in the fight, and the two Autobots quickly flatten their pursuers. Bumblebee leaves Grimlock to secure the new prisoners, and speeds back towards the base.

Strongarm manages to get hold of Steeljaw's subsonic remote as they scuffle, and the Con flees at the sound of Bumblebee approaching. Strongarm is able to free Fixit and the two humans, and they break the news to Bumblebee that Steeljaw has freed a bunch of the Decepticons. Scorponok and the other captured Decepticons are safely sealed away in pods, which have now been modified to remove the vulnerability to subsonics.

Back in the swamp, Steeljaw presents the newly-freed Decepticons to Glowstrike and [[Saberhorn]], who are impressed... up until they notice [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]]. Despite this, they congratulate Steeljaw on his work, noting this will certainly help offset the loss of Scorponok... who they believe has betrayed them, thanks to Steeljaw's silver tongue.
