	At Cybertron's north pole, a Joe team is marking the huge rocket-furnaces growing out of the planet's as targets for the approaching wave of green bombs. Team leader [[Psych Out]] is dismayed; he is fascinated by the constantly morphing geography of Cybertron, and would much rather be investigating the two curious mountains that have sprung up at the south pole. Though they successfully accomplish their task, misfortune strikes when the team are suddenly snagged in a [[turborat]] trap, laid around the ~~furance~~ to catch robotic vermin.

Disgusted by words of praise from the lowest of the low, Hot Rod is galvanized into action: he hurls the two Decepticons into one of the furnaces, loads Blaster into his alternate mode, and heads off for [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]]. This is good news for the Joes, who secretly use their grappling hooks to hitch a ride on Hot Rod, enabling them to outrun the green bomb blasts.
