	As the Autobots prepare to embark through the [[GroundBridge]], [[Fixit (RID)\|Fixit]] laments that he always misses the adventures the others go on. [[Sideswipe (RID)\|Sideswipe]] tells him he hasn't missed much, somewhat annoyed at [[Bumblebee (WFC)\|Bumblebee]]'s enthuiasm about taking his team on a "history lesson". The Bridge opens, and the team steps through...into [[Hangar E\|a human military base]], much to [[Strongarm (RID)\|Strongarm]]'s panic about their being exposed, and she frantically calls Fixit for a groundbridge out before they're discovered...		As the Autobots prepare to embark through the [[GroundBridge]], [[Fixit (RID)\|Fixit]] laments that he always misses the adventures the others go on. [[Sideswipe (RID 2015)\|Sideswipe]] tells him he hasn't missed much, somewhat annoyed at [[Bumblebee (WFC)\|Bumblebee]]'s enthuiasm about taking his team on a "history lesson". The Bridge opens, and the team steps through...into [[Hangar E\|a human military base]], much to [[Strongarm (RID)\|Strongarm]]'s panic about their being exposed, and she frantically calls Fixit for a groundbridge out before they're discovered...

	...only to be countermanded by Bumblebee, who tells them there's nothing to worry about, and invites them to analyze the surrounding base and tell him what they discover. Strongarm notes that everything is covered in dust, while [[Grimlock (RID 2015)\|Grimlock]] and [[Drift (RID)\|Drift]] observe that whoever had occupied the base before abandoning it had terrible taste in furnishings. Grousing that the base is only abandoned ''now'', Bumblebee leads them outside, where the team scans a nearby abandoned Jeep for desert camouflage colors - except for Grimlock - and they head to where they can get a good look at the surrounding area, where - to Strongarm's wonderment and Sideswipe's annoyance, they see another piece of history: the ruined mesa that once housed [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]].		...only to be countermanded by Bumblebee, who tells them there's nothing to worry about, and invites them to analyze the surrounding base and tell him what they discover.

	After fighting off the indiscriminate security systems with the help of [[Jetstorm (RID)\|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)\|Slipstream]], Bumblebee calls to have Fixit start work on deciphering the bomb, while the team splits up to try and find who placed it.

Bumblebee and Sideswipe head directly down into the base...

	...where they stumble across a scorpion-like Decepticon who introduces himself as [[Paralon (RID)\|Paralon]], and declares that the base, and everything in it, is his by right of salvage. His partner, the [[Mini-Con]] [[Buzzstrike]], transforms into an Energon axe, and the Autobots marvel at the energy reading he's giving off, along with the fact he's powering up Paralon, before Sideswipe runs out of patience and charges. Bumblebee calls for backup as Sideswipe is sent flying, but the call is garbled when the others receive it, and they assume it was a normal check-in.		...where they stumble across a scorpion-like Decepticon who introduces himself as [[Paralon (RID)\|Paralon]], and declares that the base, and everything in it, is his by right of salvage.

	Elsewhere, Strongarm and Grimlock are exploring when Grimlock steps on something that goes ''click''. Alarmed, the two call Bumblebee for advice, only to find no response. Strongarm starts trying to decide exactly how to deal with what they're certain is a mine - much to Grimlock's discomfiture - as Drift, Jetstorm and Slipstream have their search route take them close enough to detect the sounds and flashing lights of combat, and charge in. Paralon is put on the defensive by Drift - but he throws Buzzstrike at Bumblebee, who catches him, and the Mini-Con immediately interfaces with him, taking control of his body and forcing him to attack Drift as Paralon makes quick work of the samurai's Mini-Cons.

	Between them, Paralon and Buzzstrike take down the team; Paralon, worrying that the base could be swarming with Autobots at any moment, observes they don't have time to finish them off as he signals the bomb to accelerate its countdown. Buzzstrike balks, noting he didn't sign up to hurt people; Paralon tells him that anyone who gets in the way of [[~~Scavenger~~ (RID ~~2015~~)\|Scavengers]] has brought their fate on their own servos, and he transforms into scorpion mode, a pensive Buzzstrike climbing aboard as they hurry off to the central command center where they will be safe from the blast. Sideswipe comes to just in time to see them leave, and he decides to follow and take them down once and for all.

	Sideswipe catches up with Paralon and Buzzstrike as the scavengers discover a plasma rifle in the wreckage, bluffing that the others are right behind him, only to have his bluff cut short by an earthquake from the bomb's explosion.

Recovering, he stuns Paralon, grabs the rifle and transforms, driving back into the base as Buzzstrike looks on thoughtfully.

	Back with Bumblebee, Strongarm compliments him on his using the Decepticon Hunter to trigger the force shield trap to contain the bomb's explosion, then tells him that Grimlock needs his help ''now'', leaving Bee to sigh about how the day just keeps getting worse. Elsewhere, Paralon grouches about the base having so many levels, only to be ambushed by Sideswipe, who had ducked into the secret storage levels to hide. The two duel, Sideswipe knocking out the Decepticon once again - only to have Buzzstrike take over Paralon's ~~unconsious~~ body. He offers to let Sideswipe keep the weapon they'd found if they are allowed to go; the hot-headed Autobot counters that he intends to take the weapon ''and'' the scavengers in, sparking a fight that Buzzstrike-Paralon quickly wins...only to leave Sideswipe, and the weapon, sprawled on the floor as he turns to walk away.

	Bumblebee finds Grimlock, the Dinobot having resigned himself to his fate, and pushes him off the 'mine'...explaining to the shocked Grimlock that they didn't ''place'' any mines when they left, and the click had just been his crushing an old armor buffer that [[Ratchet (WFC)\|Ratchet]] had discarded. Strongarm finds Sideswipe coming to, informing him that everything is fine; he wonders why the scavengers didn't finish him off ''or'' take their prize...

	** He recalls the Decepticons invading the Autobot base, during which he fought two on its lower levels... which never happened in any of the ''Prime'' episodes. The Decepticons were shown to have no knowledge of the location of the Autobot base in the beginning of the series, and promptly destroyed it with an aerial bombardment once they located it. Either Bumblebee is telling a fib, or some Decepticons ''did'' get in at some point we never saw... and never came out again.		** He recalls the Decepticons invading the Autobot base, during which he fought two on its lower levels... which never happened in any of the ''Prime'' episodes.

	* Bumblebee's comment that his workout video was "in style" at the time of its recording implies that the Autobots were on Earth in the ~~1980's~~. This is further supported by the visit to [[Mount St. Hilary]] in the [[Strongarm's Big Score\|next episode]], as well as several comments made by the Autobots in ''Prime''.		* Bumblebee's comment that his workout video was "in style" at the time of its recording implies that the Autobots were on Earth in the 1980s.
