When Sludge sniffs out the map, Starscream dismisses the entire thing as hijinks gone wrong, but allows Barricade to investigate if he really wants to.

	Optimus's walk attracts some aggressive Decepticons, including [[Sparkstalker]], who angrily asks why the [[Autobot]] is in Decepticon territory.
