	Bumblebee and Ratchet are furious when they find out, but agree to meet the Colonel anyway. At a neutral location, Horiuchi meets with Bumblebee and explains his desire to work with the Autobots. He cites [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Skywarp]] as an example, who has recently attacked two defense suppliers. Unbeknownst to all of them, Skywarp is secretly stockpiling weapons for the day when [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] returns. Horiuchi gives Bumblebee a set of badges that will mask Transformer signals from Skywatch's scanners. Bumblebee takes the badges back to base where they are soon installed on each Autobot.

	The Autobots soon capture six Decepticons, the latest being [[Frenzy (G1)\|Frenzy]], who is lost without [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Soundwave]] and has taken to spending his days bloodily slaughtering cattle with his drills. The next on the list is [[Scavenger (G1)\|Scavenger]], but instead, Horiuchi wants them to capture [[Blurr (G1)\|Blurr]], who had earlier left the team. When Cliffjumper loudly objects to capture one of their own, Horiuchi has his tech activate an immobilizer built into Cliffjumper's badge, locking him into [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]]. The Autobots are aghast, but Horiuchi explains it is merely until he calms down. The Autobots all realize that with these badges installed on all of them, they are now pawns for Horiuchi, essentially slaves, to be used as the Colonel sees fit, to capture friend and foe alike.

	Bumblebee and Ratchet are furious when they find out, but agree to meet the Colonel anyway. At a neutral location, Horiuchi meets with Bumblebee and explains his desire to work with the Autobots. He cites [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Skywarp]] as an example, who has recently attacked two defense suppliers. Unbeknownst to all of them, Skywarp is secretly stockpiling weapons for the day when [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Megatron]] returns. Horiuchi gives Bumblebee a set of badges that will mask Transformer signals from Skywatch's scanners. Bumblebee takes the badges back to base where they are soon installed on each Autobot.

	The election of [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Bumblebee]] as Autobot leader is full of cheer, but within a few days, Bumblebee wishes he could give up the title. Tensions are high as the [[Autobot]]s either stay in hiding, or forge out on their own. [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ratchet]] rebukes a disrespectful [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]], who later receives a transmission from Colonel [[Gordon Horiuchi]]. While Bumblebee is explaining to [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]] that he must hide in a very uncomfortable cave, Wheeljack listens to the Colonel, who states that he is part of a small group of rebels within [[Skywatch]] who want to work with the Autobots to capture [[Decepticon]]s. Wheeljack decides to make contact.
