	[[Sparkplug (Armada)\|Sparkplug]], [[Longarm (Armada)\|Longarm]], and [[Jolt (Armada)\|Jolt]] sneak into the Decepticon base at [[Silver Ridge]], North Dakota. They evade the Decepticon defenses (not built to keep Mini-~~cons~~ ''out'',) and locate [[Leader-1 (Armada)\|Leader-1]], [[Crumplezone (Armada)\|Crumplezone]], [[Blackout (Armada)\|Blackout]], and [[Swindle (Armada)\|Swindle]], reasoning that any Mini-Con would prefer to join them rather than the Decepticons.

	Unfortunately, this reasoning is faulty. These four Mini-Cons are quite happy to be on what they perceive as the "winning side" and Leader-1 orders their capture, eagerly anticipating the reward he will get from Megatron. Jolt jolts Crumplezone, enabling the Autobot-allied Mini-cons to escape. As they reach the surface, the find an Autobot Shuttlecraft waiting, with [[Rad White\|Rad]] inside. He apologizes for not keeping their mission a secret, but is forgiven by Jolt who declares that those guys and the Decepticons deserve each other!		Unfortunately, this reasoning is faulty.
