	Enraged, the Army attacks the Autobots, who make their escape. Noticing that the Insecticons are acting with inexplicable restraint, as if they hadn't yet mastered their abilities, Optimus Prime deduces that they are being remotely controlled by an outside agent. Prowl and Warpath pursue the Insecticons alone, arriving in the city to find them causing untold destruction.		Enraged, the Army attacks the Autobots, who make their escape.

	While Optimus Prime attempts to locate the origin of the Insecticons' controller, it's revealed to be [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Ravage]] as he commands [[Shrapnel (G1)\|Shrapnel]] to fire a [[Shrapnel grenade\|splinter grenade]] at Prowl, taking him out the fight. Prime splits his mind between his main body and [[Roller (G1)\|Roller]] to reinforce Warpath while simultaneously locating the source of the control signal.

	Having defeated the Insecticons, Optimus Prime decides that the Autobots should simply leave, as he believes that the humans would not listen to them now. However, the President saw through the Decepticon plan and trusted the Autobots to come and explain. They didn't, and he vows not to make the same mistake again.
