	A Decepticon streaks down a forest road with the [[Bee Team (RID)\|Bee Team]] in hot pursuit. [[Strongarm (RID)\|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (RID)\|Sideswipe]], and [[Blurr (Prime)\|Blurr]] argue over who should make the arrest, until [[Fixit (RID)\|Fixit]] radios them with information on the 'Con they're chasing, a [[Skunkticon]] named [[Zorillor]]. Zorillor heads into a cave after referring to his "pal" (and peppering the Autobots with blaster shots), so Bumblebee leaves Strongarm and [[Drift (RID)\|Drift]] to check for other exits while taking Sideswipe and Blurr in. Sideswipe demonstrates the importance of being observant by pointing out a spike-filled pit disguised by a hologram, and then accidentally walks into a tripwire. The trio leg it as the walls start closing in. They get clear, but the way out is blocked. Meanwhile Zorillor packs his stuff so he can relocate, only to run into Drift and Strongarm. He sprays them with blinding liquid, but Drift, calling on his training to fight without relying on his senses, promptly disarms the Skunkticon before [[Jetstorm (RID)\|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)\|Slipstream]] manage to take him down, forcing him to drop the yellow sphere he's carrying.

	Back at the scrapyard, everyone puzzles over the strange orb Zorillor was carrying and, while Fixit's scans don't turn up anything conclusive, the Autobots seem enraptured with it. They contact [[Optimus Prime (WFC)\|Optimus Prime]] who suggests that the orb matches the description of the [[Sphere of Doradus]], a legendary object containing a map to the lost city of [[Doradus]], but which could potentially destroy a city if not opened correctly - and which always seemed to cause an avaricious obsession for it in Transformers in its vicinity. Though skeptical that this is the legendary sphere in question, the Autobots resolve to return it to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] in the morning, and there's no shortage of volunteers to guard it overnight.

	That night, [[Denny Clay\|Denny]] finds Bumblebee guarding the Sphere and acting oddly. After Bumblebee accuses Denny of trying to steal the Sphere, the pair realize the object in question is missing. Bumblebee tackles Strongarm as she tries to sneak off with the Sphere, but the rest of the team turn up one by one and soon there's a struggle for possession of the orb. Wakened by the noise, [[Russell Clay\|Russell]] realizes that it's just like the effects Optimus ascribed to the Sphere of Doradus, but his attempts to remove the orb from the area are thwarted when Fixit grabs it. A full-scale fight breaks out until Grimlock grabs the Sphere and makes off through the scrapyard with the rest of the team in pursuit. Denny and Russell give chase in Denny's truck while Fixit shakes off the object's influence.		That night, [[Denny Clay\|Denny]] finds Bumblebee guarding the Sphere and acting oddly.

	The fight over the Sphere moves onto an elevated highway, with possession moving from Grimlock to Sideswipe to Strongarm until unexpectedly [[Springload (RID)\|Springload]] turns up and escapes with it. Out of range of the Sphere's influence, the Autobots recover from their bout of avarice just before Denny and Russell catch up. Fixit lets them know via comms that the Sphere is giving off low-level energy emissions that are affecting their minds, however there's a more urgent issue — if Springload tries to open the Sphere, he could cause an explosion and destroy the city.

Though skeptical that this is the legendary sphere in question, the Autobots resolve to return it to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] in the morning, and there's no shortage of volunteers to guard it overnight.		Back at the scrapyard, everyone puzzles over the strange orb Zorillor was carrying and, while Fixit's scans don't turn up anything conclusive, the Autobots seem enraptured with it. They contact [[Optimus Prime (WFC)\|Optimus Prime]] who suggests that the orb matches the description of the [[Sphere of Doradus]], a legendary object containing a map to the lost city of [[Doradus]], but which could potentially destroy a city if not opened correctly - and which always seemed to cause an avaricious obsession for it in Transformers in its vicinity. Though skeptical that this is the legendary sphere in question, the Autobots resolve to return it to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] in the morning, and there's no shortage of volunteers to guard it overnight.

	That night, [[Denny Clay\|Denny]] finds Bumblebee guarding the Sphere and acting oddly. After Bumblebee accuses Denny of trying to steal the Sphere, the pair realize the object in question is missing. Bumblebee tackles Strongarm as she tries to sneak off with the Sphere, but the rest of the team turn up one by one and soon there's a struggle for possession of the orb. Wakened by the noise, [[Russell Clay\|Russell]] realizes that it's just like the effects Optimus ascribed to the Sphere of Doradus, but his attempts to remove the orb from the area are thwarted when Fixit grabs it. A full-scale fight breaks out until Grimlock grabs the Sphere and makes off through the scrapyard with the rest of the team in pursuit. Denny and Russell give chase in Denny's truck while Fixit shakes off the object's influence.		That night, [[Denny Clay\|Denny]] finds Bumblebee guarding the Sphere and acting oddly.

	The fight over the Sphere moves onto an elevated highway, with possession moving from Grimlock to Sideswipe to Strongarm until unexpectedly [[Springload (RID)\|Springload]] turns up and escapes with it. Out of range of the Sphere's influence, the Autobots recover from their bout of avarice just before Denny and Russell catch up. Fixit lets them know via comms that the Sphere is giving off low-level energy emissions that are affecting their minds, however there's a more urgent issue — if Springload tries to open the Sphere, he could cause an explosion and destroy the city.
