	Having relocated to their spacious [[Red Hook]] warehouse to accommodate their extraterrestrial guests, the [[Ghostbusters]], [[Ectotron]], and [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]]—the latter having used his built-in [[nanochromatic camouflage]] to cover up his graffiti underneath a Ghostbusters-inspired livery—take stock of their current situation and gear up for their next ghostly encounter. [[Ray Stantz\|Ray]] and [[Egon Spengler\|Egon]]'s analysis of the burnt-out [[ghost trap]] confirms that Starscream didn't just ''escape'', however... the duplicitous [[Decepticon]] was ''released'', as evidenced by the presence of a second PKE signature.

	Ectotron wonders just who would free Starscream; Optimus, still humoring the group, suggests that it might be part of a larger gambit, in keeping with Starscream's naturally treacherous nature. Even though he's still skeptical about the existence of "[[ghost]]s," he admits, he trusts the word of his fellow [[Autobot]]. Optimus trades a few wisecracks with [[Peter Venkman]], much to the [[human]]'s surprise; the Autobot suggests that his new colour scheme may be having an influence on his personality. The conversation is cut short when [[Winston Zeddemore\|Winston]] and Ray reveal the end result of their work: a pair of power-amplifying adapters designed to accommodate conventional Ghostbusters [[proton pack]]s, allowing the Autobots to wield Cybertronian-sized versions of their traditional gear, though Ectotron's impulsive early test fire annihilates ~~some of the warehouse's gear~~. Peter naturally grumbles at the prospects of ''more'' repairs, but Egon cuts in, revealing that he's gotten a fix on Starscream's PKE signature.

Peter naturally grumbles at the prospects of ''more'' repairs, but Egon cuts in, revealing that he's gotten a fix on Starscream's PKE signature.

	Their mission clear, the team rolls out, pursuing Starscream's signal to the [[Grosbeak Generating Station]] in [[Queens]]. The plant is only evacuated after some copious wheel-greasing from Peter, but as a result, the Cybertronians can safely transform without attracting attention. As Egon confirms the presence of the second PKE signature, the one responsible for freeing Starscream, the sky darkens, thunder rumbles, and Starscream appears! Optimus, skeptical to the last, is momentarily shocked by the sight of the ghostly Starscream. The four Ghostbusters, on the other hand, are unfazed, and promptly restrain the Air Commander with their four proton beams. Everything seems to be going according to plan... until Starscream shrieks for his "master" to save him. On cue, a bolt of supernatural lightning disgorges the red-robed figure of [[Kremzeek]] the Scavenger, but despite Starscream's assurance that he's fulfilled Kremzeek's wishes in luring Optimus Prime to Earth, Kremzeek makes his displeasure known. Starscream has consistently failed in every task he's been given; the Decepticon ghost was supposed to bring the ''[[AllSpark]]'' to Kremzeek from its hiding place aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'', and has further angered his master by allowing the Ghostbusters and Autobots to kill one of his "children", and so, ignoring Starscream's pathetic pleas for mercy, the ghost announces that he must be punished for his many failures... and so Starscream's ghostly form is absorbed back into Kremzeek's electrically-charged body.

	Confused, Winston asks what the AllSpark ''is''; Ectotron explains that the device gives life to Transformers, and Kremzeek agrees.

Starscream was supposed to bring the AllSpark to Kremzeek, so that he could absorb its power, the way he did with the other Decepticons, become as strong as Gozer, and decide the fate of worlds... but the Ghostbusters aren't having it, and after taking the opportunity to diss on the would-be conqueror, the four men and their Autobot allies open fire, quickly ensnaring the monster with their combined proton beams. Kremzeek's electrical powers, however, allow him to burst free of his bonds, the shockwave almost knocking the heroes off their feet. Kremzeek has been weakened by overexertion, but he's still very much in the game... and when he kills Optimus Prime, he'll absorb ''him'' too, then learn the location of the AllSpark! Prime swears that that won't happen, and sends his foe flying with another mighty punch. Though Prime puts up a good fight, time is running out: Kremzeek quickly rebuilds his strength by leeching off the power plant generators. The other five members of the team quickly analyze their options, and Ray muses that it's a shame that they don't have the [[Killerwatt\|electricity-eating ghost]] they encountered last night on their side. That's when Ectotron-after rummaging through his inner compartments—produces the same trap! While Peter cuts the power, Ray opens the trap, and, just as he hoped, the energy-eater goes straight for the biggest, juiciest meal on the menu: Kremzeek.

Peter naturally grumbles at the prospects of ''more'' repairs, but Egon cuts in, revealing that he's gotten a fix on Starscream's PKE signature.

	Their mission clear, the team rolls out, pursuing Starscream's signal to the [[Grosbeak Generating Station]] in [[Queens]]. The plant is only evacuated after some copious wheel-greasing from Peter, but as a result, the Cybertronians can safely transform without attracting attention. As Egon confirms the presence of the second PKE signature, the one responsible for freeing Starscream, the sky darkens, thunder rumbles, and Starscream appears! Optimus, skeptical to the last, is momentarily shocked by the sight of the ghostly Starscream. The four Ghostbusters, on the other hand, are unfazed, and promptly restrain the Air Commander with their four proton beams. Everything seems to be going according to plan... until Starscream shrieks for his "master" to save him. ~~As if on~~ cue, a bolt of supernatural lightning disgorges the red-robed figure of [[~~Kremzeek (G1)\|~~Kremzeek]], but despite Starscream's assurance that he's fulfilled Kremzeek's wishes in luring Optimus Prime to Earth, Kremzeek makes his displeasure known. Starscream has consistently failed in every task he's been given; the Decepticon ghost was supposed to bring the ''[[AllSpark]]'' to Kremzeeek from its hiding place aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]'', and has further angered his master by allowing the Ghostbusters and Autobots to kill one of his "children", and so, ignoring Starscream's pathetic pleas for mercy, the ghost announces that he must be punished for his many failures... and so Starscream's ghostly form is absorbed back into Kremzeek's electrically-charged body.

	Confused, Winston asks what the AllSpark ''is''; Ectotron explains that the device gives life to Transformers, and Kremzeek agrees. The ghost tells his side of the story: when [[Gozer]] invaded [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] a thousand years ago, Kremzeek "saved" [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] and his inner retinue of Decepticons by changing them into ghosts, but only Starscream willingly pledged his services to their impromptu savior. Starscream was supposed to bring the AllSpark to Kremzeek, so that he could absorb its power, the way he did with the other Decepticons, become as strong as Gozer, and decide the fate of worlds... but the Ghostbusters aren't having it, and after taking the opportunity to diss on the would-be conqueror, the four men and their Autobot allies open fire, quickly ensnaring the monster with their combined proton beams. Kremzeek's electrical powers, however, allow him to burst free of his bonds, the shockwave almost knocking the heroes off their feet. Kremzeek has been weakened by overexertion, but he's still very much in the game... and when he kills Optimus Prime, he'll absorb ''him'' too, then learn the location of the AllSpark! Prime swears that that won't happen, and sends his foe flying with another mighty punch. Though Prime puts up a good fight, time is running out: Kremzeek quickly rebuilds his strength by leeching off the power plant generators. The other five members of the team quickly analyze their options, and Ray muses that it's a shame that they don't have the [[Killerwatt\|electricity-eating ghost]] they encountered last night on their side. That's when Ectotron-after rummaging through his inner compartments—produces the same trap! While Peter cuts the power, Ray opens the trap, and, just as he hoped, the energy-eater goes straight for the biggest, juiciest meal on the menu: Kremzeek. In a blinding explosion, the two electroplasmic beings cancel one another out, dispelling them both.
