	Bumblebee and Grimlock leave Strongarm to guard the stasis-cuffed Overhead while they take the transmitter into the nearby woods and activate it. Bumblebee contacts Sideswipe to have him rejoin the team in preparation for the arrival of the mysterious "boss", but Sideswipe doesn't make it back before the mystery 'bot appears on the horizon. As the figure draws closer, however, everyone is shocked to see that it is the supposedly-captured Clipshade! A scuffle inevitably ensues, but is abruptly ended when Clipshade reveals that he is actually an undercover Autobot working for Ultra Magnus—he's actually an actor (stage name "Spectrosynth"), and the fearsome "cannon" on his shoulder shoots only colored lights. Bumblebee's high-profile "arrest" of him back on Cybertron, Clipshade explains, was a carefully-calculated plan by Magnus to get an operative inside the Cybercomrade Sect. But he ''has'' arrived in response to the transmitter, which is broadcasting a distress call that belongs to the ''real'' leader of the sect...

	Back at the storage facility, Strongarm is examining the various goods that Overhead claims to have unintentionally stolen... but the more ~~Strongam~~ sees, the more she realizes that they are ''not'' random objects, but the components necessary to build a [[space bridge]]! Unfortunately, this realization comes just a little too late, as Overhead—true leader of the Cybercomrades—busts out of her cuffs and knocks Strongarm out. Bee's group arrives soon after, but Overhead is already long gone, leaving the injured Strongarm behind. Bumblebee resolves to get some answers from Ultra Magnus, at which point Magnus himself appears with [[Bulkhead (Prime)\|Bulkhead]] and [[Arcee (WFC)\|Arcee]], and agrees that answers are overdue...

[[Strongarm (RID)\|Strongarm]] despairs; she just doesn't understand reality television, she tells [[Bumblebee (WFC)\|Bumblebee]], only for it to turn out that 'Bee is a huge "Bin Battles" fan as well. Fixit then calls the group together to brief them on his latest discovery: using the information he has compiled on [[Cybercomrade Sect]] leader [[Clipshade]], the [[Mini-Con]] has identified another sect member active on [[Earth]] named [[Overhead]], who has been responsible for a series of thefts made using her Crown City Security Co. alternate mode as a disguise. Bumblebee, Strongarm, and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)\|Grimlock]] head out to find Overhead, while Sideswipe, Denny, and Russell are sent in the opposite direction and instructed to visit every storage facility they come across, in order to distract the attention of [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)\|Ultra Magnus]] team, should they be spying on them.

	At the Crown City Municipal Bank, Overhead, in alternate mode, ejects her driver and makes off with the cash that has been loaded aboard her. She returns to her hideout at the abandoned [[U-Pack-It Self Storage Facility]], but Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock are waiting in ambush. Grimlock leaps out to attack, but when Overhead merely stares back in confusion, he switches tactics and tries to pretend he is a fellow Decepticon. Overhead isn't fooled and headbutts him into submission, then grabs him by the tail and hurls him into Bumblebee. Strongarm distracts her long enough for Grimlock to get back to his feet; after a brief tussle, during which the pair crash through one of the storage shed walls, the three Autobots manage to surround the Decepticon. Overhead offers information about her boss in exchange for freedom, revealing that Clipshade is actually just a face for the Cybercomrade Sect, and that its ''true'' leader is operating on Earth. Explaining that she never meant to ''steal'' anything, and that humans merely kept inadvertently loading her with goods while she was in vehicle form, she provides the Autobots with a transmitter to contact her boss, and in return, they agree to her request not to be placed in a stasis pod.

	Bumblebee and Grimlock leave Strongarm to guard the stasis-cuffed Overhead while they take the transmitter into the nearby woods and activate it.

	Back at the storage facility, Strongarm is examining the various goods that Overhead claims to have unintentionally stolen... but the more Strongam sees, the more she realizes that they are ''not'' random objects, but the components necessary to build a [[space bridge]]! Unfortunately, this realization comes just a little too late, as Overhead—true leader of the Cybercomrades—busts out of her cuffs and knocks Strongarm out.

	[[Denny Clay\|Denny]], [[Russell Clay\|Russell]], [[Sideswipe (WFC)\|Sideswipe]] and [[Fixit (RID)\|Fixit]] are hanging out discussing the latest episode of reality TV show "[[Bin Battles]]" until Denny is called away to take delivery of his newest bit of vintage junk. [[Strongarm (RID)\|Strongarm]] despairs; she just doesn't understand reality television, she tells [[Bumblebee (WFC)\|Bumblebee]], only for it to turn out that 'Bee is a huge "Bin Battles" fan as well. Fixit then calls the group together to brief them on his latest discovery: using the information he has compiled on [[Cybercomrade Sect]] leader [[Clipshade]], the [[Mini-Con]] has identified another sect member active on [[Earth]] named [[Overhead]], who has been responsible for a series of thefts made using her Crown City Security Co. alternate mode as a disguise. Bumblebee, Strongarm, and [[Grimlock (WFC)\|Grimlock]] head out to find Overhead, while Sideswipe, Denny, and Russell are sent in the opposite direction and instructed to visit every storage facility they come across, in order to distract the attention of [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)\|Ultra Magnus]] team, should they be spying on them.

	At the Crown City Municipal Bank, Overhead, in alternate mode, ejects her driver and makes off with the cash that has been loaded aboard her. She returns to her hideout at the abandoned [[U-Pack-It Self Storage Facility]], but Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock are waiting in ambush. Grimlock leaps out to attack, but when Overhead merely stares back in confusion, he switches tactics and tries to pretend he is a fellow Decepticon. Overhead isn't fooled and headbutts him into submission, then grabs him by the tail and hurls him into Bumblebee. Strongarm distracts her long enough for Grimlock to get back to his feet; after a brief tussle, during which the pair crash through one of the storage shed walls, the three Autobots manage to surround the Decepticon. Overhead offers information about her boss in exchange for freedom, revealing that Clipshade is actually just a face for the Cybercomrade Sect, and that its ''true'' leader is operating on Earth. Explaining that she never meant to ''steal'' anything, and that humans merely kept inadvertently loading her with goods while she was in vehicle form, she provides the Autobots with a transmitter to contact her boss, and in return, they agree to her request not to be placed in a stasis pod.

	Bumblebee and Grimlock leave Strongarm to guard the stasis-cuffed Overhead while they take the transmitter into the nearby woods and activate it. Bumblebee contacts Sideswipe to have him rejoin the team in preparation for the arrival of the mysterious "boss", but Sideswipe doesn't make it back before the mystery 'bot appears on the horizon. As the figure draws closer, however, everyone is shocked to see that it is the supposedly-captured Clipshade! A scuffle inevitably ensues, but is abruptly ended when Clipshade reveals that he is actually an undercover Autobot working for Ultra Magnus—he's actually an actor (stage name "Spectrosynth"), and the fearsome "cannon" on his shoulder shoots only colored lights. Bumblebee's high-profile "arrest" of him back on Cybertron, ~~Clipshade~~ explains, was a carefully-calculated plan by Magnus to get an operative inside the Cybercomrade Sect. But he ''has'' arrived in response to the transmitter, which is broadcasting a distress call that belongs to the ''real'' leader of the sect...
