	Somewhere along the [[Denver-Cheyenne rail line]], a strange yellow locomotive is driving spikes using a built-in, fully automated steam hammer. [[John Henry]]'s crew, [[Brawley]] and [[Cletus]], are favorably impressed, but Henry considers it a "smelly pile of bolts", and worries about man serving machine, rather than the other way around. Cletus makes a joke about how serving the machine is not much different from serving Henry; Henry gets mad briefly, then decides to let it go. Meanwhile, the overseer of the rail-laying project, [[Vanflint]], orders [[Smythe\|his assistant]] to find out where the yellow locomotive came from; he wants to order a dozen more. (Presumably so he can then fire John Henry and the rest of the [[human]] workers.)

[[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]] and [[Octane]] politely interrogate Muldoon, and offer to help him bring a new technological golden age to [[Earth]], by combining Muldoon's imagination with their science.
