'''A mysterious new enemy appears as the Wreckers begin their hunt for Prowl.'''

==Synopsis==
''Peace has come to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and it's all thanks to [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] thanks his trusted subordinate for the plans he formulated that allowed the [[Autobot]]s to achieve this utopia, and for his ability to compromise morality in the name of the greater good, and apologizes for taking so long to listen to him. Prowl was right. Prowl was right all along...''

...except not really, as Prowl awakes from this beautiful dream to find himself trapped in a huge web. From the darkness surrounding him, a voice emanates, explaining that Prowl has just experienced a "[[positive reinforcement prison]]", a way to keep prisoners docile by fulfilling their every wish—an old idea that Prowl himself once vetoed. Prowl recognizes the speaker's voice as belonging to an old, long-missing comrade known as Mesothulas, though his captor claims the name no longer means anything to him. Mesothulas wants something from Prowl and threatens to expose his secrets to the world if he does not get it; Prowl refuses to talk before Mesothulas can offer any proof that he has dirt on him, which Mesothulas promises to soon deliver...

In [[Nome]], [[Alaska]], the [[Wrecker]]s try to take stock of the confusing situation. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]—still disoriented from his coma and haunted by the dreams of his own offlining he experienced during it—is quick to suspect the [[Decepticon]]s, but as [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] points out, times have changed. With [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] unable to detect any trace of other Cybertronians in the region, suspicion falls on [[Verity Carlo]], who bolts from the warehouse as another wave of sickness washes over her. [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] follows her, but as they talk—making peace with one another after their recent separation—a [[Stampy (BWN)|rabbit]] suddenly comes running up the pier and snatches Verity's backpack, containing the [[Aequitas]] [[data slug]]. Stakeout gives chase after the creature as it runs off across the frozen sea, while Verity returns to the warehouse to alert the others. [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] and [[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]] leave to join the hunt, but no sooner have they departed than [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] collapses—then stands right back up again, only this time, Prowl's voice comes out of his mouth! Using the protocols he installed in Kup's subconscious, Prowl has taken remote control of the old Autobot to speak directly to the Wreckers. They are all quite horrified to learn about this, but Prowl doesn't have time for their moral outrage—he fills them in on his situation, on Mesothulas, and the only clue he has to his location: the salt water traces coating his body, which suggest he was held in an undersea facility. His connection is then severed, leaving Kup with a head full of memories of his time on [[Tsiehshi]] and the Autobots he killed there. Springer comforts the old 'bot, and even Arcee falls silent at this show of emotion.

Out in the woods, Impactor and Guzzle speed through the snow, with Impactor finding it hard to disagree with Guzzle's opinion that Prowl deserves whatever he gets. Suddenly, a polar bear leaps at them; Guzzle blasts it, earning him a reprimand from Impactor... a reprimand that is suddenly made moot when the bear ''transforms'', revealing itself to be a [[Polar Claw|Cybertronian]]!

Stakeout continues to pursue the fleeing rabbit, following it as it dives into the freezing waters, then watching in shock as it swims directly into the mouth of a [[Tidal Wave (G1 character)|huge whale]]. Suitably dumbfounded, Stakeout radios Verity with the information, and the Wreckers all listen as he describes the emergence of a [[Cybershark|shark]] and a [[Claw Jaw|squid]] from the whale's mouth, at which point his transmission is cut off. Realizing that the whale is large enough to be the "undersea facility" Prowl spoke of, the Wreckers race off in the direction of Stakeout's signal. Springer carries Verity in his helicopter mode; as they travel, she reasserts her innocence in all matters save the blackmailing of Prowl, and is about to confess something about her reasons for being in Nome when suddenly, the sound of a wolf's howl from down below forcibly transforms Springer back to robot mode and sends him falling out of the sky. The wolf introduces itself as a Cybertronian named [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]], who has immobilized Springer with his sonic [[Outlier]] abilities. Carnivac professes that the "ruling class" of Cybertron has "duped" its population, and his group, "[[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]]," are dedicated to bringing truth to light. To that end, they have mastered perfect "bio-disguises", able to assume organic alternate modes that completely hide them from detection. Impactor and Guzzle then appear, but Impactor finds that Carnivac's words speak to him, and he makes no move to stop the wolf as he lopes away. Guzzle, meanwhile, tears the slain polar bear in two and gulps down the green fuel that spills from his innards; surging with energy from the mysterious fuel, the kill-crazy Autobot is driven into an even greater frenzy, and Impactor and the recovered Springer try to restrain him.

The rest of the team, meanwhile, have made it to Stakeout's location and begin firing into the water. Stakeout has disappeared, but his attackers burst from the water, transforming to their robot modes for battle. The whale—Tidal Wave—is instructed to remain below the surface, but the big bruiser proves to be a sensitive type who does not take kindly to being shot at, and emerges from the waves in a huge tank form. Guzzle, Impactor, and Springer arrive to join the fight, so Tidal Wave tries to transform to robot mode, only to find himself stuck halfway—a technical failure he suspects is the work of Carnivac. Springer, Arcee, Verity, Hubcap, and Roadbuster take advantage of the giant's frozen transformation, hacking their way through their animalistic opponents to enter Tidal Wave's body through an exposed hatch. Roadbuster takes the squid—[[Claw Jaw]]—hostage, shocking Springer with the brutalization he subjects him to until he promises to lead them to the [[Noisemaze]]. Suitably cowed, Claw Jaw activates the portal within Tidal Wave that will teleport the Wreckers to Prowl's prison...

In said prison, Prowl awakens after blacking out from the forceful severing of his connection to Kup, something that Mesothulas claims no responsibility for. Mesothulas taunts Prowl some more, and reveals that he has gained the proof Prowl required. The Aequitas data slug dangles from a thread of webbing in front of the Autobot... and Prowl agrees to talk.

==Quotes==

"You have an '''intellect''' to rival the '''width''' of your '''shoulders'''."
:—'''Arcee''', on Springer, without a ''trace'' of sarcasm, we assure you

"You're '''millions''' of years old, and you've only known '''me''' for '''five of them'''. How can I mean '''anything''' to you?" 
"Out of '''all''' those millions of years, Verity—out of all those '''billions of days''' and trillions of hours, the five years I've had with '''you''' have been the '''highlight'''."
:—'''Verity''' and '''Stakeout'''

"You're a monster, Prowl." 
"Noted."
:—'''Springer''' and '''Prowl'''

"Here come the '''spatter patterns!'''"
:—'''Guzzle''' ain't right

"None of these—''heh''—things are reading as '''alive'''. Without visual contact, they, um, might as well be invisible." 
"What's the actual point of you?"
:—'''Hubcap''' fails to impress '''Roadbuster''' with his inability to detect the Chimeracons

"Where I lived as a kid, the light pollution was '''so bad.''' Nothing flattens your '''hopes''' and '''dreams''' harder than seeing a big '''muddy butt-sky''' just before you go to sleep. Then I learned about the '''Aurora Borealis'''; the '''Northern Lights'''. A big, natural '''light display'''—'''something''' to do with electrons; I don't care—like a '''curtain of color''' in the air. And its visible up '''here''', in '''Nome''', where '''we''' are now. I wanted the sky to '''dance''' when I sleep. Imagine if '''that's''' the last thing you saw when you closed your eyes. Springer, '''I'm'''..."
:—'''Verity''' is cut off before she can reveal something

"This '''has''' to be what Prowl was talking about—'''huge; amphibious;''' big enough to accommodate regular sized 'bots. We need to get '''inside'''—we get in '''there''', we can '''get Prowl'''." 
"Your '''eyes'''..." 
"What '''about''' them?" 
"It's the '''first time''' they've looked... '''alive...'''"
:—'''Springer''' and '''Arcee'''

"I don't want to believe that same 'bot who '''sat with me''' for '''five years''' still does... '''this.'''" 
"The two things aren't '''mutually exclusive'''—they don't '''cancel''' each other '''out.'''"
:—'''Springer''' is horrified by '''Roadbuster's''' treatment of Claw Jaw

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Mesothulas invented [[spark]] extraction to replace the positive reinforcement prison, which was previously used as a punishment for the worst offenders in [[Garrus-9]], as seen in ''[[Spotlight: Arcee]]''.
*When Kup announces that he is one of Arcee's suspects in the disappearance of Prowl, Guzzle remarks "Say it ain't so!" His sarcasm is evidently not apparent to his fellows; Guzzle harbors a deep grudge against Kup for killing friends of his in ''[[Spotlight: Kup]]'', one of the major dangling plot threads left over from ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]''.
*Verity dons her battle armor from ''Last Stand''.
*As we noted last issue, Kup has been under the subconscious control of Prowl since [[All Hail Megatron issue 15|''All Hail Megatron'' #15]]. As a consequence, in this issue, Kup finally learns about the awful things he did in his self-titled ''Spotlight''. He regained those memories once before, when Prowl used their connection in ''[[The Transformers: Infestation issue 2|Infestation]]'' (an incident Prowl recounts this issue), but that was never followed up on when Kup returned, suggesting he lost or suppressed the memories again during his time in the [[Dead Universe]].
*As Verity and Springer talk about their dreams, Springer says his are filled with red skies, referring to the skies over Garrus-9. The one panel we see of his dreams features the uniquely-scarred moon that orbits the planet, and a motion-blurred hand—[[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]'s hand, whipping towards Springer moments before it tears his face off, as seen in [[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 5|''Last Stand of the Wreckers'' #5]].
*Carnivac previously appeared in IDW continuity many moons ago, in [[Stormbringer issue 4|''Stormbringer'' #4]]. He is revealed to be an [[Outlier]], a kind of Transformer with a "super-power" introduced in [[Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|''More than Meets the Eye'' #11]].
*We've seen "bio-disguises", as Carnivac calls them, in IDW continuity before; ''waaaay'' back in ''[[Spotlight: Shockwave]]'', the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] scanned Earth dinosaurs to create organic-skinned beast modes in a direct allusion to ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]''. The technology has improved since then.
*Guzzle rips Polar Claw in two at the waist, which was the same thing Overlord did to him in ''Last Stand'' #5.
*Arcee observes how Springer's eyes glow brightly with life at the prospect of success when he realizes Tidal Wave is the undersea facility. The "arresting, thousand-watt blue" glow of Springer's eyes had previously been commented on in "[[Zero Point]]", which pointed out that they were so bright and pure that it might even mean he was [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-compatible.

===Transformers references===
*We wouldn't like to indulge in speculation, but the identity of Prowl's captor barely seems like it's supposed to be a secret. Adding together his cackling laugh, his scientific background, the webs he holds Prowl in, his association with Transformers possessing organic beast modes, and his name—from "{{w|Mesothelae}}", a suborder of spider, and ending in "-las"—everything points to Mesothulas being [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]].
*Back in the Generation 1 days, Carnivac was a Pretender, a real-world precedent of sorts for his organic alternate mode in this story. His group, "Mayhem," is named in reference to the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]], which he was a member of in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel UK comic]]; he and Springer became quite chummy in the comic after Carnivac became disenfranchised with the Decepticon way of life, inspiring their scene together and Carnivac's philosophy in this issue.
*'Bots or beasts, they're still the baddest! Polar Claw, Cybershark, and Clawjaw all hail from the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline; Cybershark is based on his [[Transmetal 2]] great white form (sans any Transmetal effects), rather than his original hammerhead body. Stampy, meanwhile, is an import from the Japanese ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (toyline)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' line, where he was a main cast member of the [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|''Neo'' cartoon]]. Of these beasties, only Claw Jaw is named in-story.
*Tidal Wave doesn't fully appear in robot mode, but just enough of him can be seen when he gets stuck between modes to recognize that he's directly based on the [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|''Armada'' character of the same name]] (in Hasbro colors). Previously, Tidal Wave has only appeared in the Generation 1 continuity family as [[Tidal Wave (G1 ship)|a ship]], rather than a 'bot, in the [[Hoist the Flag|2014 BotCon comic]]. He's the only beast-mode character in this story who doesn't have a precedent for his organic form. However Tidal Wave turning into both a whale and a base of operation bares some similarities to [[Orcanoch]].
*Might just be a coincidence, but the way that Guzzle becomes unhinged, crackles with green energy, and foams at the mouth after ingesting Polar Claw's green fuel suuuuuure looks a lot like what happened to [[Razorbeast]] when he got a shot of the just-as-green [[Angolmois]] energy in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|Beast Wars: The Ascending]]'' series. The [[Beast Era]] flags are flying high with this one...

===Real-world references===
*Verity continues to pull nicknames for Arcee from ''{{w|Grease (film)|Grease}}'', calling her "Frenchie."

===Errors===
*The planet on which Kup was stranded back in his ''Spotlight'' is spelled "Tsiehchi" here, but when its name was revealed in [[Shockwaves|''Robots in Disguise'' #17]], it was spelled "Tsiehshi."
*On page 16, when Claw Jaw says "Tidal Wave, you utter blowhole.", his speech doesn't use the distorted font that the other Chimeracon speech balloons have.

===Other notes===
*The solicitation for this issue named the group of organic-alt-mode Transformers the "[[Chimeracon]]s," but the name hasn't been used in-story yet.

'''Bee and his team encounter a new Decepticon who inadvertently leads them to discover Steeljaw's gang.'''

==Synopsis==
A couple of street racers speed along a drainage canal in [[Crown City]], however a glimpse of a scuttling shape causes the lead driver to brake heavily. As they emerge from their cars, one of them is grabbed by a giant metal claw and dragged into a nearby drain. The two drivers rapidly exit the scene in the remaining car. The next day, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] returns to the scrapyard by sneaking in over the wall, only to be caught by [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]]. Sideswipe seizes the opportunity to engage in a bit of blackmail in return for his silence. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] paces at the command center, only to be startled by [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], and admits he's on edge due to the lack of Decepticon activity. As the other [[Autobot]]s arrive Denny and Fixit explain they've made two duplicate [[Decepticon hunter]]s. The alarm sounds as they pick up a Decepticon signal in the flood drains under Crown City and the team head out, though not before Bumblebee embarrasses himself with another attempt at a rallying cry.

The Autobots head into the storm drains and split up to search. Sideswipe exercises his blackmail over Strongarm by getting her to go down the worst of the tunnels, however Bee soon locates tracks. He finds a crab-like Decepticon hiding in a pile of refuse, and the Autobots arrive to help, however the Decepticon attempts to make a deal as there's another bot he's more afraid of. As they attempt to cuff him, the Decepticon scurries away, and they're forced to chase him through the storm drains. After Sideswipe manages to cut him off, they trap him at the end of a tunnel, however he breaks some pipes and unleashes a torrent of water at them. The four Autobots are washed out of a storm drain into the river. The Decepticon climbs out through a manhole where he encounters [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. The Autobots recover from their impromptu bath, and Fixit is able to identify the Decepticon as the snitch and blackmailer [[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]].

Steeljaw and Clampdown arrive at the Decepticon hideout where [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] and [[Underbite (RID)|Underbite]] are waiting. [[Thunderhoof]] arrives during introductions and recognizes Clampdown as the Cpn who got him arrested and put in prison. Though Steeljaw makes it clear that's all in the past, Thunderhoof is still enraged, and Clampdown flees as a result. Strongarm later spots Clampdown climbing onto a garbage barge and the Autobots are able to reach the garbage tip and ambush Clampdown when he reaches it. He tries to use his knowledge of Steeljaw's activities to cut a deal, but the other Decepticons arrive as well. The Decepticons attack and Sideswipe tries to stop Thunderhoof from chasing Clampdown, but is waylaid by Fracture. Steeljaw manages to get the better of Bee, and tosses the Autobot in a garbage compactor, however Sideswipe manages to stop it closing. [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] takes out Underbite by feeding him some plastic and then cannonballing him, Sideswipe succeeds in taking out Fracture, and Strongarm cuffs [[Divebomb (RID)|Divebomb]] and [[Airazor (RID)|Airazor]]. Thunderhoof pins Clampdown in a crater, but they accidentally headbutt each other and are knocked out. Bumblebee also defeats Steeljaw, and the group of Decepticons are soon all secured.

While Bumblebee announces he's feeling more relaxed now, Steeljaw manages to slip his cuffs and runs off. The Autobots give chase, but as Steeljaw runs along the dock, he smashes the moorings of a garbage barge. The ship starts drifting into the path of a tour boat, and Bumblebee orders the rest of his team to help prevent a collision. They all grab the mooring ropes and manage to pull the barge back out of the way, with the tour boat passing safely by. At their hideout, Steeljaw slashes Clampdown's insignia, and Steeljaw assures everyone that the newcomer won't turn on them... or else. Driving back to the scrapyard, Sideswipe attempts to again blackmail Strongarm into doing his patrol for him, but Strongarm refuses. Bumblebee revels he already knows that Strongarm's been sneaking off base and punishes Sideswipe for blackmail by giving him double shifts. Strongarm reveals that she's been sneaking off to a carwash, which Bumblebee promptly tries out and finds very relaxing.

"Eureka! Sorry Bee, did we startle you?" 
"Maybe a little. With no Decepticon activity lately I've been kinda jumpy because I, I mean I know something's coming I just don't know when. So all I can do is obsess about it and I guess I just don't know how.." 
"BIG NEWS!" 
[startles Bumblebee again] 
"..To relax."
:—'''Denny''' startles '''Bumblebee''' while '''Fixit''' makes things worse.

'''When two rival bounty hunters land on Earth, Bumblebee discovers that there's a price on his head.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Denny Clay|Denny]] shows off some of his disguises, impressing [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]. [[Russell Clay|Russell]] tries to join in, but Denny breaks the news that he wants to not involve Russell in future missions, as he's suddenly realized it counts as child endangerment. Russell is disappointed, but before they can discuss it further, the alarm sounds and [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] reports that he's detected two Cybertronian spacecraft landing at a nearby hunting lodge. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] tells Grimlock to stay put, as a giant metal dinosaur would be hard to explain to humans, however when he, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and Denny reach the lodge, it turns out to be deserted. Denny heads for cover just in time, as [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] appears out of the woods, followed moments later by [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. The two newcomers launch their respective Mini-Cons, and as the two groups square off, Fracture announces his intent to claim a bounty. As the Decepticon gets the upper hand, Bumblebee suddenly recognizes Drift. With the other three Autobots reinforcing Drift, Fracture and his partners retreat. Drift reveals that the council has placed a bounty on Bumblebee's head, but Drift now owes him a life debt and will protect him from Fracture. Denny emerges from hiding, and Drift mistakes him for a pet.

In Fracture's spaceship, the three Decepticons use their camera micro-drones to spy on the Autobots and Fracture promises to get rid of Drift. The Autobots reach the scrapyard, and Drift is appalled at its lack of defenses and the inexperience of Bumblebee's team. While the larger Autobots organize things, Russell shows [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] the command center. The two Mini-Cons express how they wish Drift to show his approval of them more, and Russell shows off a video game. The other Autobots start barricading the entrance, however Fixit detects a Cybertronian lifeform already inside the scrapyard. The Autobots go to check it out, but can't find anything, and Fixit detects a second signal on the other side of the yard. As Grimlock and Strongarm go to investigate, the power promptly goes out, forcing Denny and Sideswipe to go get the backup generator working.

Spotting the micro-drone buzzing around, Drift spears it with his sword, and Fixit reports the life signal has disappeared. Grimlock spots a moving bush and moves in to stomp on it, however it turns out to be a trap, and he and Strongarm are incapacitated. Denny is still struggling to get the generator working when Fracture steps out of a [[GroundBridge]] nearby. He tazes Sideswipe before ordering his Mini-Cons to grab Denny. Russell arrives in time to see the Decepticons disappearing through the GroundBridge with their prizes. Bumblebee, Drift and Russell rendezvous at the command center, where Bumblebee announces his intent to rescue everyone, however Drift believes they should stay put, determined to fulfill his life debt to protect Bee. Fracture arrives by GroundBridge and offers to return the prisoners so long as Bumblebee turns himself in. Bumblebee refuses and charges at Fracture, only to be blinded by flashes of light. Fracture and Drift again clash, with Drift ordering his Mini-Cons to protect Bumblebee.

As they battle, [[Airazor (RID)|Airazor]] menaces Russell and Fixit. Torn between obeying orders or protecting the pair, Jetstorm chooses to help Russell and Fixit. When the Mini-Con addresses him as "commander", Russell remembers the video game. The battle turns against Drift, as Fracture stealthily plants an explosive on his back, and as the Autobot goes down, Russell fires up the video game and tries to bluff Fracture that it's a real alien battle fleet he's called in as backup. Unfortunately an untimely "game over" gives the game away, and Fracture's Mini-Cons seize Russell and Fixit. Fracture is about to strike the final blow on Drift when his own spaceship appears overhead, having been hijacked by Drift's Mini-Cons. With the ship's guns trained on him and three freed Autobots freshly arrived through the GroundBridge, Fracture threatens to blow up his own ship unless they let him go. Bumblebee settles the matter by punching Fracture, who proceeds to blind everyone with flashes of light before fleeing with his Mini-Con partners. Jetstorm and Slipstream crash the ship in the scrapyard, much to Denny's distress.

Drift announces the life debt is repaid, but he's realized that Bumblebee is honorable and won't collect the bounty on him after all, and Russell manages to get Drift to complement Jetstorm and Slipstream before the trio blast off in their ship. Fixit reports that though Fracture's ship won't fly again, it still has a working GroundBridge. Denny says he's changed his mind and Russell can take part in future missions.

"Oh yeah aye, I'm from the park service. Sorry but this trail is closed don'tcha know." 
"Woooow, it's like one minute you're that guy, and then ''boom'', suddenly you're somebody else!" 
"The secret, is to really get inside a character's head."
:—'''Denny''' and '''Grimlock'''

"Hi, Denny Clay." [tries to shake Drift's hand] 
"Your pet has poor manners."
:-'''Denny''' and '''Drift'''

"Your inexperienced law officer, juvenile delinquent, oafish Dinobot, damaged Mini-con, and human pets are no match for an enemy as devious as Fracture." 
[Everyone together] "HEY!" 
"Strongarm is ''not'' oafish!"
:—'''Drift''' does not have much faith in Team Bee and '''Sideswipe''' defends Strongarm.

"Hey, do I tell you how to do... whatever you do?" 
"Nope, that's Strongarm's job."
:—'''Denny''' and '''Sideswipe'''

"It can be this simple Drift. I collect this bounty, you collect the next. ''Perhaps''." 
"This is no longer about a bounty." 
"It's always about a bounty!"
:—'''Fracture''' and '''Drift'''

"I saved you, you saved me. I hereby release you from your life debt, with my deepest thanks." 
"That is not how you conclude a life debt."
:—'''Bumblebee''' and '''Drift'''

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*After Fracture's initial appearance Bumblebee's mouth is missing for a few seconds before reappearing.

===Continuity notes===
* Grimlock recalls his fights against [[Hammerstrike (RID)|Hammerstrike]], [[Terrashock]], and "the one with all the eyes", which may be a reference to [[Chop Shop (RID)|Chop Shop]].
* The bounty on Bumblebee's head was placed by the new [[Autobot High Council]] in response to his actions in [[Pilot (Part 1)]].

===Transformers references===
*Drift's alt-mode is similar in design to that of his [[Drift (ROTF)| live-action counterpart]], while his color scheme draws from the intended colors for the movie character.

Russell arrives in time to see the Decepticons disappearing through the GroundBridge with their prizes. Bumblebee, Drift and Russell rendezvous at the command center, where Bumblebee announces his intent to rescue everyone, however Drift believes they should stay put, determined to fulfill his life debt to protect Bee. Fracture arrives by GroundBridge and offers to return the prisoners so long as Bumblebee turns himself in. Bumblebee refuses and charges at Fracture, only to be blinded by flashes of light. Fracture and Drift again clash, with Drift ordering his Mini-Cons to protect Bumblebee.

As they battle, [[Airazor (RID)|Airazor]] menaces Russell and Fixit. Torn between obeying orders or protecting the pair, Jetstorm chooses to help Russell and Fixit. When the Mini-Con addresses him as "commander", Russell remembers the video game. The battle turns against Drift, as Fracture stealthily plants an explosive on his back, and as the Autobot goes down, Russell fires up the video game and tries to bluff Fracture that it's a real alien battle fleet he's called in as backup. Unfortunately an untimely "game over" gives the game away, and Fracture's Mini-Cons seize Russell and Fixit. Fracture is about to strike the final blow on Drift when his own spaceship appears overhead, having been hijacked by Drift's Mini-Cons. With the ship's guns trained on him and three freed Autobots freshly arrived through the GroundBridge, Fracture threatens to blow up his own ship unless they let him go. Bumblebee settles the matter by punching Fracture, who proceeds to blind everyone with flashes of light before fleeing with his Mini-Con partners. Jetstorm and Slipstream crash the ship in the scrapyard, much to Denny's distress.

Drift announces the life debt is repaid, but he's realized that Bumblebee is honorable and won't collect the bounty on him after all, and Russell manages to get Drift to complement Jetstorm and Slipstream before the trio blast off in their ship. Fixit reports that though Fracture's ship won't fly again, it still has a working GroundBridge. Denny says he's changed his mind and Russell can take part in future missions.

'''When two rival Bounty Hunters land on Earth, Bumblebee discovers that there's a price on his head.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Denny Clay|Denny]] shows off some of his disguises, impressing [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]. [[Russell Clay|Russell]] tries to join in, but Denny breaks the news that he wants to not involve Russell in future missions, as he's suddenly realized it counts as child endangerment. Russell is disappointed, but before they can discuss it further, the alarm sounds and [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] reports that he's detected two Cybertronian spacecraft landing at a nearby hunting lodge. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] tells Grimlock to stay put, as a giant metal dinosaur would be hard to explain to humans, however when he, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and Denny reach the lodge, it turns out to be deserted. Denny heads for cover just in time, as [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] appears out of the woods, followed moments later by [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. The two newcomers launch their respective Mini-Cons, and as the two groups square off, Fracture announces his intent to claim a bounty. As the Decepticon gets the upper hand, Bumblebee suddenly recognizes Drift. With the other three Autobots reinforcing Drift, Fracture and his partners retreat. Drift reveals that the council has placed a bounty on Bumblebee's head, but Drift now owes him a life debt and will protect him from Fracture. Denny emerges from hiding, and Drift mistakes him for a pet.

In Fracture's spaceship, the three Decepticons use their camera micro-drones to spy on the Autobots and Fracture promises to get rid of Drift. The Autobots reach the scrapyard, and Drift is appalled at its lack of defenses and the inexperience of Bumblebee's team. While the larger Autobots organize things, Russell shows [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] the command center. The two Mini-Cons express how they wish Drift to show his approval of them more, and Russell shows off a video game. The other Autobots start barricading the entrance, however Fixit detects a Cybertronian lifeform already inside the scrapyard. The Autobots go to check it out, but can't find anything, and Fixit detects a second signal on the other side of the yard. As Grimlock and Strongarm go to investigate, the power promptly goes out, forcing Denny and Sideswipe to go get the backup generator working.

Spotting the micro-drone buzzing around, Drift spears it with his sword, and Fixit reports the life signal has disappeared. Grimlock spots a moving bush and moves in to stomp on it, however it turns out to be a trap, and he and Strongarm are incapacitated. Denny is still struggling to get the generator working when Fracture steps out of a [[GroundBridge]] nearby. He tazes Sideswipe before ordering his Mini-Cons to grab Denny.

'''While in pursuit of a rebellious Decepticon, Bumblebee is exposed to a toxin that impacts his maturity, leaving the rest of the Bee Team to deal with both an escaped fugitive and a hyperactive leader.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Quillfire]] dashes through a car park, pausing to fire quills at [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] who blocks them with a car. The other Autobots speed past Grimlock and as they continue the pursuit, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] orders everyone to split up. The four Autobots surround Quillfire in a warehouse area, but he begins firing quills at them, and Bumblebee has to knock Grimlock out of the way. With the pair down, Quillfire triumphantly carves his signature into a cargo container and departs. Bumblebee barely makes it to his feet before collapsing again, a quill embedded in him. Back at the scrapyard, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] works on Bumblebee before transforming into a tool so that [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] can extricate the quill. Analyzing the weapon, Fixit reports that each of Quillfire's quills have unpredictable toxins and there's no knowing what effect it will have on Bumblebee. Strongarm realizes that with Bumblebee incapacitated, she's in charge, much to the alarm of the other Autobots. Bumblebee recovers consciousness and immediately pulls a prank and drives off — Fixit surmises that the toxin has caused Bumblebee to regress in maturity. Elsewhere, Quillfire spots something he intends to liberate as part of his rebellion against authority.

The Autobots split up to search for Bumblebee in the scrapyard, and soon become the victim of various pranks — Grimlock gets an oil pie to the face while [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] hits a tripwire and gets a load of bolts flung at him. Sideswipe returns to Fixit, as does Strongarm who is now covered in fire extinguisher foam. The [[Mini-Con]] has determined that they'll have to wait for the poison to pass through Bumblebee's system. [[Russell Clay|Russell]] thinks babysitting Bumblebee will be easy, though Bumblebee's antics while balancing on top of a stack of clothes dryers cause him to think he was a little too optimistic. As night falls, the [[elephant]]s at a local carnival get a visit by Quillfire, who intends to liberate them from oppression, however he merely succeeds in stampeding them. Quillfire once again triumphantly makes his mark. Back at the scrapyard, Strongarm gets her foot stuck in a washtub full of rubber cement and requires Grimlock's help in getting free. Leaving Sideswipe, who seems amused by the whole thing, to look after Bumblebee, Strongarm takes Grimlock to go find Quillfire.

Pondering how to get Bumblebee to sit still, Russell and Sideswipe strike on getting him to watch [[television]]. Unfortunately once Russell leaves to get popcorn, and Sideswipe goes to dry his eyes, the television hits a commercial and Bumblebee loses interest. Overhearing that Quillfire's in a carnival, Bee takes off before Sideswipe and Russell return. At the carnival, Strongarm and Grimlock are contemplating the police cars guarding the area when Bumblebee arrives. After getting Grimlock to sit on Bumblebee, Strongarm goes down and draws the police cars away by reporting a fake emergency in town. Feeling smug, Strongarm enters the carnival, only to be confronted by the stampeding elephants. As she runs, Bumblebee appears running alongside her, followed by Grimlock who tackles the elephants. Strongarm persuades Bumblebee to round up the elephants, though to Grimlock's dismay, he has to serve as Bumblebee's mount.

Fixit alerts the trio that Quillfire is nearby and as she's telling everyone to be quiet so they can surprise the Decepticon, the carnival's rides all suddenly power up, thanks to Bumblebee. While Bee's busy using the dodgems as skates, Strongarm and Grimlock go Decepticon hunting, unaware Quillfire has already spotted them. The pair are lured onto one of the amusement rides by one of Quillfire's signatures, and the Decepticon activates it, causing them to be spin and pinned against the ride's walls. Quillfire goes into a tent to hide, only to find the floor is extremely bouncy. He's joined by Bumblebee who bounces around happily, causing an alarmed Quillfire to bounce high in the air. Strongarm manages to use her crossbow to stop the ride and she and Grimlock quickly track Bee to the tent thanks to Quillfire's terrified cries. Quillfire attempts to fire quills at Bumblebee, only to be bounced in the air and become a victim of his own weapon, swiftly passing out as a result.

Outside, Bumblebee is distracted by some distorted mirrors. Strongarm quickly gets an idea, and Bumblebee is soon chained up at the top of a tower. Morning eventually comes, and Bumblebee is back to his old self. Back at the scrapyard, Quillfire is secured in a [[stasis pod]], and Bumblebee thanks Strongarm for her work.

'''The Bee Team welcomes a visiting Autobot veteran just in time to fend off a Decepticon fugitive bent on monopolizing one of the Bots' most precious commodities.'''

==Synopsis==
At a construction site in [[Crown City]], a worker using an excavator digs up an [[energon cube]]. When he goes to inspect this strange object, the ground suddenly gives way. Though he manages to scramble out of the sinkhole, the energon cube is spirited away by a robotic claw, and the worker's excavator tumbles into the hole.

That night at the scrapyard, [[Russell Clay|Russell]] and the Autobots are watching a [[television]] show about a motorcycle gang. [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] tries to explain how their identical jackets indicate non-conformism to [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] and ends up leaving in frustration. Wandering through the scrapyard, he spots another Bot lurking in the darkness and attempts to ambush them only to be knocked on his can. The others arrive and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] recognizes the newcomer as [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], who turns out to have been sent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to investigate the distress call sent from the ''[[Alchemor]]''. By the next morning, explanations have been given and Jazz offers to take them all back to Cybertron in his ship, however Bumblebee points out that there are still a lot of Decepticon to round up on [[Earth]]. Their discussion is interrupted when a hole opens up in the ground and a [[Decepticon]] pops out.

As the Decepticon makes a bee line for their [[energon]] stash, Fixit identifies their new foe as [[Ped (RID)|Ped]]. He's halfway through the description when Sideswipe springs into action and attacks Ped, only to be zapped by the stinging mandibles that Fixit hadn't finished telling them about. Ped dives back into the ground, and another hole opens behind the two humans. As Russell falls in, Bumblebee dives in after him and with the help of the other Autobots, manages to fish Russell out. Unfortunately Ped has made off with some of their energon, so leaving [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and the humans behind, the other Autobots dive into the hole to hunt for the Decepticon. They split up, with Sideswipe insisting on going with Jazz and [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] paired with Bumblebee. As they drive through the tunnels, Sideswipe starts complaining to Jazz about the others holding him back and Jazz suggests he pace himself. Bumblebee and Strongarm spot Ped and start chasing him as he digs through the ground, only to realize that his tunnels are undermining Crown City, and a section is about to collapse.

Bumblebee begins propping up the roof while Strongarm reinforces it with rocks, however Ped attacks Bumblebee. Strongarm is unable to go to his aid, as she now has to hold the ceiling up. As Ped hold Bumblebee in his claw, a comm message comes in from Jazz revealing that he and Sideswipe have found Ped's energon stash. The alarmed Decepticon drops Bumblebee and hurries away to secure his energon. Forewarned by Bumblebee over the comm, Sideswipe attempts to tackle Ped himself, only to be again zapped. Jazz plays along with the Decepticon, suggesting he'd make a good second-in-command, and Ped reveals he's building up a stash of energon to use as currency with the other Decepticons. Having learned enough, Jazz blasts Ped with a bit of sound and light, but it has the side effect of making the roof cave in. By the time Jazz and Sideswipe dig themselves out, Ped has left and taken the energon with him. The pair return to the scrapyard, where the others have rigged up a trap for Ped — an open [[stasis pod]] hidden in a pile of energon cubes and boxes painted to look like same.

As night falls, the team observes the pile of cubes from elevated positions, and sure enough the ground begins to quake, however the Autobots soon find that Ped is wise to them and the train car they're standing on falls into a pit. Menaced by Ped, Russell and Denny point him to the energon cubes and he starts moving towards the loot, only to decide at the last moment to deal with the humans first. His hesitation has given Denny enough time to fetch a construction vehicle and hit him with it. In the pit, the Autobots stand on each others shoulders, and though they're unable to reach the edge of the pit, Sideswipe's able to jump between them and the sides of the pit and escape. He begins keeping Ped occupied while Denny fishes the Autobots out with the electromagnet, though Grimlock and Strongarm are left in the hole after the combined weight is too much for the machine to handle. Jazz is grabbed and zapped by Ped, however Sideswipe has come up with a plan. Taunting Ped, he manages to get the Decepticon to attack him, and they both tumble into the stasis pod. Though Sideswipe tells Bumblebee to activate the pod, Jazz jumps in to lend a hand, enabling the pair to extricate themselves from the pod. Denny crowns the emerging Ped with the electromagnet before Bumblebee activates the pod.

Morning comes and Denny fishes Strongarm out of the hole, though the cable breaks in the process, leaving Grimlock still stranded down there. Jazz promises to smooth things over with [[Autobot High Council|the council]] once he gets back to Cybertron, and promises he'll be back.

'''The Bee Team welcomes a visiting Autobot veteran just in time to fend off a Decepticon fugitive bent on monopolizing one of the Bots' most precious commodities.'''

==Synopsis==
At a construction site in [[Crown City]], a worker using an excavator digs up an [[energon cube]]. When he goes to inspect this strange object, the ground suddenly gives way. Though he manages to scramble out of the sinkhole, the energon cube is spirited away by a robotic claw, and the worker's excavator tumbles into the hole.

That night at the scrapyard, [[Russell Clay|Russell]] and the Autobots are watching a [[television]] show about a motorcycle gang. [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] tries to explain how their identical jackets indicate non-conformism to [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] and ends up leaving in frustration. Wandering through the scrapyard, he spots another Bot lurking in the darkness and attempts to ambush them only to be knocked on his can. The others arrive and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] recognizes the newcomer as [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], who turns out to have been sent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to investigate the distress call sent from the ''[[Alchemor]]''. By the next morning, explanations have been given and Jazz offers to take them all back to Cybertron in his ship, however Bumblebee points out that there are still a lot of Decepticon to round up on [[Earth]]. Their discussion is interrupted when a hole opens up in the ground and a [[Decepticon]] pops out.

As the Decepticon makes a bee line for their [[energon]] stash, Fixit identifies their new foe as [[Ped (RID)|Ped]]. He's halfway through the description when Sideswipe springs into action and attacks Ped, only to be zapped by the stinging mandibles that Fixit hadn't finished telling them about. Ped dives back into the ground, and another hole opens behind the two humans. As Russell falls in, Bumblebee dives in after him and with the help of the other Autobots, manages to fish Russell out. Unfortunately Ped has made off with some of their energon, so leaving [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and the humans behind, the other Autobots dive into the hole to hunt for the Decepticon. They split up, with Sideswipe insisting on going with Jazz and [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] paired with Bumblebee. As they drive through the tunnels, Sideswipe starts complaining to Jazz about the others holding him back and Jazz suggests he pace himself. Bumblebee and Strongarm spot Ped and start chasing him as he digs through the ground, only to realize that his tunnels are undermining Crown City, and a section is about to collapse.

Bumblebee begins propping up the roof while Strongarm reinforces it with rocks, however Ped attacks Bumblebee. Strongarm is unable to go to his aid, as she now has to hold the ceiling up. As Ped hold Bumblebee in his claw, a comm message comes in from Jazz revealing that he and Sideswipe have found Ped's energon stash. The alarmed Decepticon drops Bumblebee and hurries away to secure his energon. Forewarned by Bumblebee over the comm, Sideswipe attempts to tackle Ped himself, only to be again zapped. Jazz plays along with the Decepticon, suggesting he'd make a good second-in-command, and Ped reveals he's building up a stash of energon to use as currency with the other Decepticons. Having learned enough, Jazz blasts Ped with a bit of sound and light, but it has the side effect of making the roof cave in. By the time Jazz and Sideswipe dig themselves out, Ped has left and taken the energon with him. The pair return to the scrapyard, where the others have rigged up a trap for Ped — an open [[stasis pod]] hidden in a pile of energon cubes and boxes painted to look like same.

As night falls, the team observes the pile of cubes from elevated positions, and sure enough the ground begins to quake, however the Autobots soon find that Ped is wise to them and the train car they're standing on falls into a pit. Menaced by Ped, Russell and Denny point him to the energon cubes and he starts moving towards the loot, only to decide at the last moment to deal with the humans first. His hesitation has given Denny enough time to fetch a construction vehicle and hit him with it. In the pit, the Autobots stand on each others shoulders, and though they're unable to reach the edge of the pit, Sideswipe's able to jump between them and the sides of the pit and escape. He begins keeping Ped occupied while Denny fishes the Autobots out with the electromagnet, though Grimlock and Strongarm are left in the hole after the combined weight is too much for the machine to handle. Jazz is grabbed and zapped by Ped, however Sideswipe has come up with a plan. Taunting Ped, he manages to get the Decepticon to attack him, and they both tumble into the stasis pod. Though Sideswipe tells Bumblebee to activate the pod, Jazz jumps in to lend a hand, enabling the pair to extricate themselves from the pod. Denny crowns the emerging Ped with the electromagnet before Bumblebee activates the pod.

Morning comes and Denny fishes Strongarm out of the hole, though the cable breaks in the process, leaving Grimlock still stranded down there. Jazz promises to smooth things over with [[Autobot High Council|the council]] once he gets back to Cybertron, and promises he'll be back.

'''While Strongarm's first "solo" mission is marred by an over-protective Bumblebee, Denny's and Fixit's rivalry comes to a head.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] drives down a desert road, some two thousand miles from the scrapyard on a solo mission. As she contemplates a possible promotion, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] contacts her for a status report. He's distracted partway through by [[Denny Clay]] passing by with some spark plugs, but Strongarm assures him she'll contact him if she runs into trouble, before spotting a dust plume in her rear view. It turns out to be [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], who to Strongarm's dismay has followed her. After she expresses concern that he doesn't trust her, he agrees to leave her to the mission.

Fixit repairs [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], who says it was Denny's idea to turbo-charge their spark plugs. Moments later [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] is fishing Denny out from under some [[stasis pod]]s, and Fixit tries to explain that Cybertronian tech is too complicated for [[human]]s. Denny still thinks he can help, and Fixit suggests he fix the leak in the lavatory.

As Strongarm closes in on the Decepticon signal in a jungle, she again finds Bumblebee following her. He insists he's coming along as an observer.

At the scrapyard, Fixit interrupts Denny working on a Cybertronian blaster. An argument breaks out as Denny points out Fixit hasn't made any progress on getting the weapons working. As Fixit tries to take back the weapon, Denny tries to scrape some corrosion off, and the weapon explodes, leaving both of them blackened.

Strongarm and Bumblebee find their Decepticon talking to stone carvings and demanding to know the location of the lost city of [[Doradas]]. He spots the two Autobots and, believing them to be fellow treasure hunters, makes a run for it. The pair give chase, but the Decepticon jumps across a chasm and they lose him. As he drives off, Strongarm contacts Fixit to get an ID on the con. Fixit identifies him as [[Springload (RID)|Springload]], a nutcase who's in search of the lost city of Doradas, and says he'll send the rest of the team. Strongarm disagrees with Bumblebee that this is the right move, and secretly contacts Fixit again to claim she's caught Springload.

Denny searches the scrapyard for the [[Decepticon hunter]], believing he can fix it too. Fixit inadvertently gives away the device's location thanks to his verbal tick and the pair end up in a tug of war over it. Fixit breaks the war by announcing he's going to rearrange the scrapyard using Cybertronian principals.

Bumblebee and Strongarm find Springload has gone into a temple, and Bumblebee reluctantly agrees to going inside to try and capture the Decepticon.

[[Russell Clay|Russell]] finds Denny rewiring the command center while [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] discover their stuff has been rearranged by either Fixit or Denny and can lo longer be found. Russell scolds the pair, but it's not enough to stop them fighting, and they both go to undo whatever the other one has done. Russell has another idea.

Springload puzzles over the markings in the temple as the two Autobots move in. Strongarm tries to grab him, only to discover his armor is coated in acid. The temple starts collapsing, and Springload swiftly makes an exit. Bumblebee and Strongarm pick up a pillar to prop up the ceiling, but it's not enough, and Strongarm has to blast a hole in the wall so they can escape. Once Bumblebee reprimands Strongarm, she admits she told Fixit not to send the rest of the team, and asks for one last chance to complete the mission herself.

Having rearranged Fixit's stuff, Denny sits down to watch TV, only to find Fixit has tampered with it and he can now only see the ''[[Alchemor]]'' prison manifest. As Fixit attempts to block him from rearranging the command console, Russell, Sideswipe and Grimlock appear with the Decepticon hunter which is making an alarming noise. Denny and Fixit soon realize they have to work together to disarm it lest it explodes.

Back at the temple, Strongarm and Bumblebee catch up with Springload, who assumes they're ghosts and flees. They manage to box him in, but he splats Bumblebee with acid and manages to escape once again. Strongarm asks Bumblebee to stop being an observer and officially help.

Fixit and Denny manage to extract a kazoo from the Decepticon hunter, and the others observe that they're working together. The pair spot a disconnected wire in the device and repair it, successfully as it happens. They head off to make more Decepticon hunters, while Russell, Sideswipe and Grimlock declare victory with a fist-bump.

Springload is still pleading with carvings to tell him where Doradas is when Bumblebee and Strongarm find him. Strongarm imitates a spirit and tells Springload he's unworthy, allowing Bumblebee to sneak up and knock him into a casket. With the Decepticon trapped, Bumblebee admits Strongarm did well on her first solo mission.

The pair spot a disconnected wire in the device and repair it, successfully as it happens. They head off to make more Decepticon hunters, while Russell, Sideswipe and Grimlock declare victory with a fist-bump.

Springload is still pleading with carvings to tell him where Doradas is when Bumblebee and Strongarm find him. Strongarm imitates a spirit and tells Springload he's unworthy, allowing Bumblebee to sneak up and knock him into a casket. With the Decepticon trapped, Bumblebee admits Strongarm did well on her first solo mission.

'''While Strongarm's first "solo" mission is marred by an over-protective Bumblebee, Denny's and Fixit's rivalry comes to a head.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] drives down a desert road, some two thousand miles from the scrapyard on a solo mission. As she contemplates a possible promotion, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] contacts her for a status report. He's distracted partway through by [[Denny Clay]] passing by with some spark plugs, but Strongarm assures him she'll contact him if she runs into trouble, before spotting a dust plume in her rear view. It turns out to be [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], who to Strongarm's dismay has followed her. After she expresses concern that he doesn't trust her, he agrees to leave her to the mission.

Fixit repairs [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], who says it was Denny's idea to turbo-charge their spark plugs. Moments later [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] is fishing Denny out from under some [[stasis pod]]s, and Fixit tries to explain that Cybertronian tech is too complicated for [[human]]s. Denny still thinks he can help, and Fixit suggests he fix the leak in the lavatory.

As Strongarm closes in on the Decepticon signal in a jungle, she again finds Bumblebee following her. He insists he's coming along as an observer.

At the scrapyard, Fixit interrupts Denny working on a Cybertronian blaster. An argument breaks out as Denny points out Fixit hasn't made any progress on getting the weapons working. As Fixit tries to take back the weapon, Denny tries to scrape some corrosion off, and the weapon explodes, leaving both of them blackened.

Strongarm and Bumblebee find their Decepticon talking to stone carvings and demanding to know the location of the lost city of [[Doradas]]. He spots the two Autobots and, believing them to be fellow treasure hunters, makes a run for it. The pair give chase, but the Decepticon jumps across a chasm and they lose him. As he drives off, Strongarm contacts Fixit to get an ID on the con. Fixit identifies him as [[Springload (RID)|Springload]], a nutcase who's in search of the lost city of Doradas, and says he'll send the rest of the team. Strongarm disagrees with Bumblebee that this is the right move, and secretly contacts Fixit again to claim she's caught Springload.

Denny searches the scrapyard for the [[Decepticon hunter]], believing he can fix it too. Fixit inadvertently gives away the device's location thanks to his verbal tick and the pair end up in a tug of war over it. Fixit breaks the war by announcing he's going to rearrange the scrapyard using Cybertronian principals.

Bumblebee and Strongarm find Springload has gone into a temple, and Bumblebee reluctantly agrees to going inside to try and capture the Decepticon.

[[Russell Clay|Russell]] finds Denny rewiring the command center while [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] discover their stuff has been rearranged by either Fixit or Denny and can lo longer be found. Russell scolds the pair, but it's not enough to stop them fighting, and they both go to undo whatever the other one has done. Russell has another idea.

Springload puzzles over the markings in the temple as the two Autobots move in. Strongarm tries to grab him, only to discover his armor is coated in acid. The temple starts collapsing, and Springload swiftly makes an exit. Bumblebee and Strongarm pick up a pillar to prop up the ceiling, but it's not enough, and Strongarm has to blast a hole in the wall so they can escape. Once Bumblebee reprimands Strongarm, she admits she told Fixit not to send the rest of the team, and asks for one last chance to complete the mission herself.

Having rearranged Fixit's stuff, Denny sits down to watch TV, only to find Fixit has tampered with it and he can now only see the ''[[Alchemor]]'' prison manifest. As Fixit attempts to block him from rearranging the command console, Russell, Sideswipe and Grimlock appear with the Decepticon hunter which is making an alarming noise. Denny and Fixit soon realize they have to work together to disarm it lest it explodes.

Back at the temple, Strongarm and Bumblebee catch up with Springload, who assumes they're ghosts and flees. They manage to box him in, but he splats Bumblebee with acid and manages to escape once again. Strongarm asks Bumblebee to stop being an observer and officially help.

Fixit and Denny manage to extract a kazoo from the Decepticon hunter, and the others observe that they're working together. The pair spot a disconnected wire in the device and repair it, successfully as it happens. They head off to make more Decepticon hunters, while Russell, Sideswipe and Grimlock declare victory with a fist-bump.

Springload is still pleading with carvings to tell him where Doradas is when Bumblebee and Strongarm find him. Strongarm imitates a spirit and tells Springload he's unworthy, allowing Bumblebee to sneak up and knock him into a casket. With the Decepticon trapped, Bumblebee admits Strongarm did well on her first solo mission.

'''When Grimlock suddenly starts attacking his teammates, Bee must figure out why the stalwart Dinobot has turned from friend to foe.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] is putting the finishing touches to a proximity alarm for the scrapyard, though [[Russell Clay|Russell]] is too busy playing a game to pay attention. Fixit sets the alarm off as a test and the other [[Autobot]]s, returning from a scavenging mission, are caught by surprise. Unfortunately the [[stasis pod]] they've brought back is empty, aside from some mud. When [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] complains about [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]]'s laziness, Sideswipe attempts to shift the blame to [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], only to be smashed aside by the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]]'s tail. As Grimlock charges on Sideswipe, [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] attempts to put himself between the pair, only for Grimlock to bash him into a wall. Sideswipe prevents Strongarm from shooting Grimlock but Grimlock proceeds to flatten both of them. After Russell observes that Grimlock seems to be talking to himself, Fixit makes a futile attempt to stand up to the Dinobot and is flicked aside. Grimlock prepares to smoosh Russell but is unable to and instead goes to look for the stasis pods. Russell helps Fixit up and asks for instructions for the proximity alarm. Grimlock finds the stasis pods and loads [[Underbite (RID)|Underbite]] onto a sled. He's distracted when the proximity alarm goes off, and smashes the console. Russell bluffs that [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] is coming, causing Grimlock to panic and make off with Underbite.

The Autobots pick themselves up and begin discussing Grimlock — Strongarm assumes Grimlock's always been bad and has been fooling them, Sideswipe thinks Grimlock was forced to attack them, and Russell points out Grimlock didn't appear to be in control of himself. Fixit's unable to track Grimlock's signal due to the damage to the console. Russell realizes the [[Crown River]] dam is the most likely place for Grimlock to have gone, so the Autobots head out. Russell asks Fixit to call up the prisoner manifest, and the pair spot something that makes them very worried for the rest of the team.

The other find Grimlock's footprints and start following them, but step unawares through a laser tripwire that creates a patch of ice on the ground. Bumblebee and Sideswipe go tumbling downwards but are able to stop themselves before they go over the cliff edge. Strongarm finds a cryo-inducer from the stasis pod Grimlock took and they realize Grimlock left the trap for them. At the scrapyard, Fixit struggles to repair the comms so they can warn the others and manages to get it to play music. Grimlock reaches the dam with his cargo and meets [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. Steeljaw is disappointed that Grimlock only managed to get one pod, and even more so when the other three Autobots appear. He and Bumblebee clash while Sideswipe attempts to reason with Grimlock. As they battle, Grimlock flings a reel of cable which hits Strongarm, sending her flying into Bumblebee and Steeljaw. As Steeljaw reprimands Grimlock, Sideswipe jumps on him and demands to know what he's done to Grimlock. The pair fight while Grimlock takes on Bumblebee and Strongarm. Though Sideswipe tells Steeljaw to reverse whatever he's done to Grimlock, Steeljaw points out that Grimlock is demolishing the other two Autobots. Sideswipe goes to their aid and the trio are kept occupied trying to subdue the Dinobot, allowing Steeljaw to make off with Underbite's stasis pod.

The three Autobots finally manage to bring Grimlock down by using Sideswipe as a distraction while Bumblebee and Strongarm tangle him in cables. Fixit finally gets through on the comms and fills them in — a [[Cyber-tick]] named [[Minitron]] is controlling Grimlock. The Autobots search Grimlock's armor plating until Strongarm spots that Minitron has jumped onto Bumblebee. She and Sideswipe tackle their leader, only for Minitron to jump to Strongarm. A fight breaks out between the trio and Minitron abandons them to it, heading for Grimlock. Grimlock, however, catches the tiny Decepticon but refrains from simply squishing him, instead rendering him unconscious. Later back at the scrapyard, they place Minitron in a small stasis pod, and Bumblebee announces that it's time for Grimlock to get his Autobot insignia. A jubilant Grimlock hugs Sideswipe and Russell, while the others worry about Underbite being free once more.

'''As Denny and Russell work to stave off a greedy memorabilia collector, Bee and his Team chase a collector of their own - a Decepticon with an impulsive urge to hoard all things "shiny."'''

==Synopsis==
A family, including their unenthusiastic kid, stop at a gas station on their way to a campout. The kid's wish for someone to save him from the family vacation is granted when a giant mechanical bird swoops down, grabs their camper and flies off. Meanwhile the Autobots are patrolling in search of a Decepticon signal without much luck. Monitoring from the scrapyard, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] notes that the signal is on the move, and [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] soon spot their quarry as it lands atop a transmission tower. As Fixit continues to monitor events in the field, the front bell at the scrapyard rings. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] head to back up their teammates as [[Denny Clay|Denny]] answers the front door and is irked to find it's [[Larry LaRue]], an ex-collector who's now hosting a reality TV show called "Scrapmeisters". Denny is not keen on being TV and throws Larry out. Elsewhere the bird Decepticon is getting the better of Sideswipe and Strongarm and starts carrying them off, until Bumblebee ninja-kicks her out of the air. A glint from an insulator on a nearby transmission tower catches the bird's eye, and she flies up to grab it. As Bumblebee tries to scale the tower to grab her, the power lines break, electrocuting him, and she flies off.

Back at the scrap yard, [[Russell Clay|Russell]] asks his father why he doesn't want to be a star on television, which Fixit misinterprets. Denny says he doesn't have a desire to be rich and famous. The Autobots returns, and Fixit checks the ''[[Alchemor]]'' database and determines that the Decepticon they're after is compulsive thief [[Filch]], who has been merrily stealing everything shiny. Sideswipe observes that Strongarm's been hitting the rulebook hard lately, and Bumblebee attempts to give Strongarm a pep talk as he thinks she's feeling homesick. Meanwhile Filch launches from atop a statue near [[Crown City]] and is detected by Fixit's instruments. The Autobots prepare to roll out, but Grimlock is disappointed when Bumblebee says he's not going because there's the risk of being seen by humans. Diving behind a stack of junk, he attaches wheels and a grill to himself in an attempt to look like a truck. Bumblebee isn't convinced.

The other three Autobots head out with Denny, and find Filch attempting to pull a beam from the bridge into Crown City. Unfortunately they're not fast enough to stop her pulling it free, but Bumblebee grabs onto it as she flies overhead. A tug-of-war ensues as the bridge starts to crack, keeping Strongarm and Sideswipe occupied as they have to stabilize the structure. Denny adopts a disguise and manages to stop a police officer, whom he convinces to set up a road block by pretending to be from an exotic bird sanctuary. Back at the scrapyard, Grimlock reports that someone's climbing over the outer wall — it turns out to be Larry LaRue. Russell thinks having the scrapyard on TV might be a good thing as they might actually sell something, while Fixit is mainly confused as to how LaRue's video camera induces stellar fusion. Russell approaches LaRue and gets briefly interviewed before LaRue goes wandering around.

The struggle continues on the bridge, until Filch notices the shine on Denny's helmet. She promptly grabs him and makes off with both him and the bridge beam. Grimlock soon gets a call for help from Bee, but has to again disguise himself as a truck to get past LaRue. Unfortunately LaRue sees him. Denny recovers consciousness to find himself along with a bunch of other scrap in the torch at the top of the statue near Crown City. He bumps into Filch who seems more hostile now he's not shiny, but he points out a recycling plant in the distance which sees her heading off in that direction. Unfortunately his phone battery is flat. Russell meanwhile covers for Grimlock by claiming he's a remote-controlled dinotruck. While he's dealing with that, Fixit picks up LaRue's video camera and accidentally films himself. As Grimlock heads off to help the others, LaRue ventures deeper into the scrapyard.

Grimlock rolls up to the bridge, stealthily avoiding the backed up traffic, and finds the other Autobots supporting the structure. He takes over while the others go look for Denny. Denny's finally found power for his phone and calls Russell. Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe are soon pulling up to the statue to rescue Denny. As they start climbing, Filch turns up and tackles Bumblebee right off the side of the statue. Meanwhile LaRue finds something in the scrapyard that interests him. As Bumblebee grapples with Filch, Strongarm comes to a decision to disobey orders and aids him by punching Filch. Sideswipe reaches the torch at the top of the statue and hurls the bridge beam, knocking out Filch. Bumblebee takes the beam back to the bridge so he can relieve Grimlock. Denny arrives at the scrapyard, where LaRue demands Denny sell him some stuff. As the Autobots sneak past, Denny agrees, and confiscates the memory cards from his camera. Bumblebee congratulates Strongarm for breaking the rules for a change.

'''Beleaguered Bumblebee must learn to lead in his own way as the team struggles to bring in a brutish Decepticon whose stasis pod has been discovered by human authorities.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] attempts to give a presentation on where they've found [[stasis pod]]s, though [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] becomes distracted by the idea that the location map resembles [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. While Bumblebee continues with his presentation, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] attempts to administer a wet willy to [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and ends up face down on the ground. As the pair continue to fight, Bumblebee laments that he's not the leader [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] was. He attempts to contact Optimus for advice by talking into some mirrors, however he gets no response. Meanwhile, Sideswipe scales a pile of junk, threatening to tip it onto Strongarm, and Bumblebee has to knock the cadet out of the way. The pile falls on him instead, adding to his misery. After digging himself out, Bumblebee decides what he needs to do is to try to emulate Optimus, however his attempt at an Optimus impression just results in his team falling about in laughter. Fixit reports he's detected a Decepticon signal, which [[Denny Clay|Denny]] backs up — a news report reveals that a stasis pod has been found by humans and is now housed in the [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences]] where scientists are working to open it. Denny comes up with a plan to infiltrate the museum, involving him posing as an archaeologist, and [[Russell Clay|Russell]] insists on coming too.

Sometime later "Nevada Fleeber, noted archeologist" is telling the museum staff that he's come with an important artifact to give them, and Russell hams it up as "McPlank". The staff are keen to take them on a tour. The Autobots haul up behind the museum, with [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] covered in a tarp. Strongarm and Sideswipe shortly end up tangled up in the tarp and struggle with each other. Bumblebee pulls the tarp off shortly before Denny opens the loading bay door and pulls the fire alarm. The museum's staff and visitors evacuate, leaving the museum empty. Entering the building, the team stops to admire an Old West display, and Bumblebee gives an explanation that just leaves the others confused. He again tries to do an Optimus impression, but the rest of the team leaves to hunt for the stasis pod before he can finish. Denny turns around to find Russell is gone as well. Narrating his own adventures as "McPlank", Russell quickly finds the stasis pod, however it promptly breaks open, revealing a buffalo-shaped bot. The bewildered Decepticon says he was sent by [[Contrail]] to wise up, and smashes through a nearby wall in search of an exit. Sideswipe finds them, but is smashed aside as [[Terrashock]] bounds off down a corridor. Sideswipe and Russell give chase, ending up at the loading bay where Bumblebee and Denny are waiting. Fixit fills the team in on Terrashock, the [[Buffaloid]] enforcer, and Bumblebee realizes they've got a problem on their hands. He again breaks out the Optimus impression to describe his plan to lure Terrashock to the museum's grand hall. No one is impressed.

Terrashock finds the cowboy display and mistakes an animatronic buffalo for another enforcer. Strongarm finds him stomping on it, but proves unable to stop him on her own. Terrashock then stumbles on the museum's planetarium and mistakes it for a transmitter. While he's disoriented by the star patterns, Grimlock attempts to head butt him, but comes off second best. Continuing to search for the outside world, Terrashock is confused by an audio-visual presentation on water and Sideswipe pounces on him, only to be thrown against a wall. In the main hall, Bumblebee is lamenting his lack of leadership skills when Terrashock bounds into view. Despite Bumblebee's attempt to catch him, the Decepticon head butts him through the front of the museum, transforms and drives off. Bumblebee picks himself up in front of a crowd of humans, however Denny and Russell cover for him by claiming he's an animatronic exhibit.

The trio head back into the museum where Bumblebee comms the others to tell them he's heading for the loading dock. Optimus puts in a ghostly appearance to talk to Bumblebee, and dispenses the advice that Bumblebee is not him, disappearing before he can clarify further. Russell suggests Bumblebee needs to lead like himself. Gazing at the cowboy exhibit gives Bumblebee an idea. Bumblebee joins the rest of his team at the loading dock and they head out to find Terrashock. The Decepticon is zooming down a nearby highway, yelling for Contrail when they catch up with him, and whooping like cowboys, they zigzag through the traffic to pull alongside him. He transforms and starts bounding along the other side of the road, until Bumblebee is able to nudge him back to the right-hand side. As they spot some low scaffolding ahead, Bumblebee hauls in front of Terrashock and slams on the brakes, sending the Buffaloid tumbling down an exit ramp before Grimlock does a cannonball, flattening him. To maintain the Autobots' cover, Russell gives an announcement suggesting to the stunned onlookers that it was a promotion for a stunt car rally. The victorious team, Terrashock loaded on Strongarm's trailer, heads off into the sunset.

Underbite

2015-02-27T13:19:26Z

Grimlockimus:

{{faction|decepticon}}
{{disambig2|the ''Aligned'' Decepticon|the ''Kre-O'' Decepticon|Underbite (Kre-O)}}
{{disambig2|the ''Prime''-sequel Decepticon|characters named Overbite|Overbite (disambiguation)}}
:''Underbite is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:Underbite.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Probably isn't a Baron.]]

Two things rule the thought processes of '''Underbite''': eating and bragging. This Decepticon [[Chompazoid]] is extraordinarily proud of his strength, which increases as he consumes more metal. To him, everything is a workout, all in the goal of pumping up and bulking out. He's even gone so far as to name his forearms "Thundercruncher" (right) and "Boltsmasher" (left). He kisses them.

His claim to fame is the devouring of [[Nuon City]], a feat about which he brags endlessly. So proud is he that he reacts quite violently to anyone ''not'' aware of his reputation.

Physically, he has few equals... provided he's got a steady diet of metal to masticate. On mainly-organic worlds like [[Earth]], however, his rampages can drain him quickly, leaving him with little to juice up on. So strong is his need to feed that he'll ignore threats in favor of chasing down a pick-me-up.

{{bigquote|I know what you're thinking. Is that tall dark and handsome really Underbite, devourer of Nuon City?|''Underbite''|''[[Pilot (Part 1)|Pilot]]''}}

==Fiction==

{{voiceactor|[[Liam O'Brien]] (English)}}
{{spoiler|Pilot (Part 1)|February 28}}
Underbite was aboard the prison ship [[Alchemor]] when it crashed on [[Earth]], and roamed the area around the crash site after being freed from his [[stasis cell]] by the impact. He soon got into a rumble with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team, but after spying a nearby scrapyard through the trees, he headed off to devour that instead. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

{{spoiler|Pilot (Part 2)|February 28}}
Despite tussling with [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], Underbite began chowing down on the contents of the scrapyard, only to spot a bigger prize — nearby [[Crown City]]. Unfortunately the organic matter he encountered along the way was unsuitable for his consumption, and he slowly weakened. The Autobots managed to lure him to the edge of a quarry, and though he managed to shake them off, he was tossed in by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] himself. The Autobots later placed Underbite back in a stasis cell. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#One-Step Changers|One Step Changer]]s, Underbite changes from a Cybertronian four-wheeled tank-like car-thing into a robotic lizard-dog thing. His spring-loaded transformation to each mode is triggered by pressing his back legs together. The back of his beast-head has a spring-loaded lever that activates his bitey-jaw gimmick.

: He is adorable.

: Like all ''Robots in Disguise'' toys, he has a bordered [[insignia]] that can be scanned by the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' game app]] to temporarily unlock the One Step Changer version of him as a playable character, if the player has not permanently unlocked them yet. His badge is on the top of his head/vehicle roof. However, it can't be scanned while he's still in-package, as it's behind the front-bubble instructions.

: Caution should be used with his transformation, as many early samples would lose the ability to lock into robo-[[beast mode]] with rigorous/repeated squeezing of the haunches (vehicle is the "default" state, beast mode relies on a tensed spring to stay locked in).

:''Underbite is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:Underbite.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Probably isn't a Baron. Also probably not related to any of the [[Overbite (disambiguation)|Overbites.]]]]

'''Underbite''' is a huge bestial Decepticon. He's a [[Chompazoid]], able to power himself up by ingesting matter, and claims to have done so by eating an entire Cybertronian city. In fact he'll loudly tell anyone who'll listen about it, though he's often disappointed by the fact he's not as notorious as he wishes. Like most Decepticons, he's quick-tempered, but he's also easily distracted by the lure of more food, which he needs to fuel his body-building efforts. He's named his right arm "Thundercruncher" and his left "Boltsmasher".

'''Bumblebee and his new team must stop a Decepticon from reaching nearby Crown City.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] prevents [[Russell Clay|Russell]] from pursuing [[Underbite (RID)|Underbite]], insisting it's too dangerous, but [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] points out the incoming [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], who transforms to dino mode. Though Bumblebee's braced to fight Grimlock off, the Dinobot simply sniffs at them and then dashes off into the woods after Underbite. Telling the others to stay put, Bumblebee gives pursuit, however when Russell runs off as well, [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] uses it as an excuse to follow suit. Also [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]]'s jabbering results in Sideswipe going after them. Grimlock intercepts Underbite at the scrapyard and the pair begin grappling. Though Underbite suggests that they're on the same side and therefore don't need to fight, Grimlock disagrees and they continue to toss each other around, while an oblivious [[Denny Clay]] puts away the [[Billy the Breakfast Beaver]] statues he's bought. Bumblebee arrives and prepares to subtly intervene, however the element of surprise is spoiled by the arrival of the rest of his team, who dive straight in. After tossing Grimlock aside, Underbite starts chowing on the Beaver statues, until Strongarm manages to attract his attention.

Sideswipe and Russell find Denny in the old diner, and Russell points his dad to the Autobots and Decepticon rapidly bearing down on them. Grimlock jumps on Underbite and begins punching him repeatedly. While the Decepticon is thus busy, Bumblebee suggests Denny take his son somewhere safe and complains about his team not following orders. Underbite again manages to get the better of Grimlock, and begins chowing down on the junk, however he soon spots [[Crown City]] in the distance, and immediately sets out for it. With the Autobots gathering themselves together, Grimlock again springs to his feet, only to find his foe has gone. Realizing where Underbite is headed, Bumblebee prepares to give chase, and the others insist on going too. Strongarm scans a new vehicle mode on Bumblebee's insistence that they maintain a low profile. Fixit also arrives with the news that he's got a single [[stasis cell]] back online, and some capture devices which he distributes to the team. Bumblebee, Strongarm, Denny and Grimlock soon roll out, leaving Sideswipe to take care of Russell.

Driving along, Underbite is slowly weakening from the lack of sustenance — organic material being unsuitable for him to consume. Meanwhile Sideswipe finally finds a car to scan, and Russell has the idea to take along the rest of the Beaver statues. The rest of the team has already caught up with Underbite at the bridge to Crown City and start using Fixit's capture tools on him, however the tools swiftly fail. They attempt to block Underbite's way, though a fight proves unnecessary as Sideswipe arrives and lures Underbite away with the trailer-load of Beaver statues. They lead the Decepticon to the edge of the quarry, and the team starts trying to push Underbite over the edge. Unfortunately when Sideswipe joins in, it allows Underbite to grab some statues from the Autobot's trailer and powers himself up. Tossed aside, the Autobots can only watch in alarm as Underbite picks up Denny's truck and begins crushing it.

At which point [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] suddenly grabs Underbite and tosses him into the quarry. After revealing that Denny is fine, Optimus admits he's not quite sure whether he's alive or not. After complimenting the team Bumblebee has put together, Optimus gives a stirring speech and tells them he does not know what fate has in store for him, before dematerializing. Some time later, Underbite is resecured in the working stasis cell as the Autobots move the equipment salvaged from the [[Alchemor]] in to the scrapyard. Grimlock's concerned that they'll put him back into a stasis cell too, but Bumblebee instead puts him on probation. The inevitable team squabbling begins.

'''Assigned on a solo mission to Earth, Bumblebee unexpectedly finds himself saddled with a team.'''

==Synopsis==
Lieutenant [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and Cadet [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] are patrolling on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when they get an alert about an in-progress 211. While Strongarm is slightly awed at getting to work with the great hero Bumblebee, she's surprised that he didn't get a better position than street cop. They find [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] driving around a park with huge statues, scratching up the ground. While Bumblebee is in the middle of telling his partner that Sideswipe's not actually dangerous, he's suddenly distracted by a vision of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] in a reflecting pool. Strongarm leaves him to his vision and heads off to deal with Sideswipe, and Optimus points Bumblebee to a diagram on a nearby building, indicating something to do with [[Earth]]. After an abortive attempt to stop Sideswipe, Strongarm manages to bash the renegade Autobot into the statue of Optimus Prime, and then slaps the cuffs on him, but to her horror, the damaged statue topples over, almost crushing Bumblebee. Snapped out of his trance, Bumblebee orders Strongarm to take the perp to the station while he heads towards the building Optimus pointed to.

On Earth, [[Denny Clay]] is moving a bus around his scrapyard when his son, [[Russell Clay]] arrives to stay while his mother's in [[Copenhagen]]. Russell is less than enthusiastic about this arrangement, but Denny shows off the 14th Street diner which he's recently had moved to the yard. Their discussion is interrupted by a loud boom from somewhere. Not far away in the woods, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] crawls from the shattered hulk of the prison ship [[Alchemor]].

On Cybertron, Bumblebee enters the [[Cybertron History Museum]] and pokes around the back rooms, where he finds a [[space bridge]] with Earth co-ordinates already input. Optimus speaks to him in a another vision, telling him he's needed on Earth. In the middle of the vision Bumblebee's found by Strongarm, who's followed him there as per a regulation which means she has to accompany him at all times. Naturally she also still has Sideswipe handcuffed to her, and after Bumblebee explains he's received a mission from Optimus, he tells Strongarm to try to get the space bridge working while he distracts the guards.

A news report about a meteor piques Denny's interest, and he suggests he and Russell go look for it, though first Denny has to talk to a man who wants to sell him some [[Billy the Breakfast Beaver]] figures. Russell opts to go look for the meteor instead of helping with the deal. At the crash site, Fixit attempts to send a mayday to Cybertron Control, reporting that he's lost most of the [[stasis cell]]s the ship was carrying.

Bumblebee manages to distract the museum guards for a brief time until they catch on to the fact that he's up to something. He's forced to deal with the pair, disabling them just as Sideswipe gets the bridge working. Ordering Strongarm to remain behind, Bumblebee charges through the open space bridge to Earth. Naturally Strongarm follows him with Sideswipe still cuffed to her, and though Bumblebee destroys the cuffs and orders Sideswipe to return to Cybertron, the punk runs off. Wandering through the woods elsewhere, Russell completely misses a set of giant footprints. Bumblebee and Strongarm find Fixit working on the wreckage of his ship, and he explains the situation with the missing prisoners. As the tracking systems come back online, Fixit detects a nearby Cybertronian signal. Figuring it's Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Strongarm head off to recapture the rogue Autobot.

Sideswipe is testing out the acoustics in a nearby rock formation when he bumps into Russell. They're both recovering from the shock when [[Underbite (RID)|Underbite]] strolls up. Sideswipe introduces himself, but is none the wiser when Underbite reveals his name, though Underbite clarifies that he's the Decepticon who ate [[Nuon City]]. Sideswipe and Russell run for it, and Underbite consumes a nearby derelict van for energy. The fleeing pair find a clearing where Sideswipe transforms. As Underbite catches up with them, Sideswipe's able to speed off with Russell, and eventually finds Bumblebee and Strongarm. The Decepticon chases all four of them back to the crash site, where Fixit and Russell hid behind the last intact stasis cell, shortly before [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] pokes his head out of the end of it. After Underbite knocks the Autobots aside, Grimlock manages to goad Underbite into wrecking the stasis cell he's trapped in, freeing him. This only keeps Underbite busy for a short time, and the Decepticon spots the scrapyard through the trees, driving off to investigate. As the Autobots recover from the fight, Fixit tells them that Underbite is a [[Chompazoid]], and gains power by eating stuff. The Autobots realize that the scrapyard has enough material to make the Decepticon unstoppable.

'''The Autobot team must learn to work together as they face two Decepticon fugitives.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] carry out trust exercises, however Sideswipe doesn't bother catching Strongarm, which results in her comm unit being damaged. The pair start fighting, and are reprimanded by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], whose words are somewhat undermined by him being held in [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]'s arms. The pair resume fighting until [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] calls all four of them back to the scrapyard. As they head off, [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] watches them go. Fixit reports he has detected some nearby fugitive signals and possibly intact stasis pods. They also receive a distress call from the oil tanker [[Winward]] near the coast, which is being attacked by a metal shark. Fixit notes that the [[Alchemor]] had a [[Sharkticon (Prime)|Sharkticon]] on board, and it's probably him. Bumblebee takes Grimlock and a boat to investigate the tanker, while Sideswipe and Strongarm head off to check out the fugitive signals.

Bee and Grimlock find the oil tanker deserted and climb on board. The tanker's soon struck by something which looks like a submarine. Meanwhile, Sideswipe and Strongarm, still squabbling, split up and with Strongarm's comms down, she's unable to keep in touch with Sideswipe. Grimlock jumps off the oil tanker and attacks the submarine — in reality a [[Decepticon]]. The Decepticon manages to shake Grimlock off and boards the oil tanker, quickly crushing Bumblebee's capture device. Strongarm finds the stasis pods, and the Decepticon [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. Steeljaw tries to bluff her, claiming that he's a guard who was aboard the Alchemor, however when she points out he has Decepticon [[insignia]], he instead renders her unconscious. When Sideswipe returns to the scrapyard alone, [[Russell Clay|Russell]] and Fixit tell him they got a garbled message from Strongarm indicating she's in trouble and Sideswipe realizes he has to go deal with it or get in trouble. Back on the boat, [[Hammerstrike (RID)|Hammerstrike]] and Bumblebee fight. Grimlock, now stuck at the bottom of the sea, is unable to lend a fist, but Bumblebee is able to get Hammerstrike down solo. The arrival of the coast guard distracts Bumblebee long enough for Hammerstrike to turn the tables and escape.

Bumblebee and Grimlock arrive back at the scrapyard to find everyone but Fixit gone. Fixit looks up information on Sharkticons, and Bumblebee reasons that Hammerstrike is trying to recreate his home environment by flooding the sea with oil. Bumblebee and Grimlock head to a nearby automated oil refinery on the assumption that that's where Hammerstrike will head next. Meanwhile Russell and Sideswipe find an old ranger station with signs a Decepticon has been there recently. Sideswipe complains that Strongarm will continue treating him badly, and Russell suggests if he treats people with respect, he'll get respect. They find Steeljaw still trying to convince a chained-up Strongarm that he's changed and wants to live in peace. Russell quickly comes up with an idea. At the oil refinery, Bumblebee and Grimlock break in and track down Hammerstrike, however the tricky Decepticon breaks a pipe, flooding the ground with oil and making it slippery, an environment that he is suited for.

Steeljaw almost gets Strongarm to tell him where the Autobots are based when Sideswipe reappears, disguised as the Decepticon "Grimbee". He engages Steeljaw in conversation unconvincingly, while Russell attempts to free Strongarm. Bumblebee and Grimlock are still skidding around in the oil refinery while Hammerstrike runs rings around them. The pair resort to teamwork, and manage to trap the Decepticon in an empty oil barrel. Meanwhile, Steeljaw spots Russell and realizes Sideswipe's an Autobot. After a brief pursuit, the Decepticon is kicked in the head by Strongarm, however she's forced to save Russell from a falling tree and Steeljaw escapes. The two Autobots return to the scrapyard, where they tell the others about Steeljaw and Bumblebee makes Steeljaw #1 wanted Decepticon. Strongarm catches Sideswipe when he slips in some mud, and Russell observes that perhaps the pair will be able to work together eventually.

Hammerstrike (RID)

2015-02-22T01:11:17Z

Grimlockimus:

{{factions|decepticon|}}
{{disambig2|the Aligned Decepticon|the ''Beast Wars'' Maximal sometimes called Hammerstrike|Cybershark}}
:''Hammerstrike is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:RIDHammerstrike.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|No bars, no chains. Time for meat.]]

'''Hammerstrike''' is a water loving Decepticon and Cybertron's most feared pirate. He's a Sharkticon, able to swim at high speeds in both water and more crude forms of liquid such as oil. He hates having to use his bipedal robot form unless absolutely necessary, considering it an embarrassment to walk on two legs when his submarine mode is perfectly suited for traversing the waters of Cybertron or Earth. He has a distrust of land dwellers and their trickery, but most of all their horrible lingering stench.

: Part of the initial assortment of [[Tiny Titans]], this version of Hammerstrike is a very small, soft-plastic figure of him in robot mode. Sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] baggie, he comes with a collectible card with a scan-badge for the mobile game, which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.
