	Skids and [[Mudflap (ROTF)\|Mudflap]] head for another hangar, ready to achieve their primary objective. They crack the lock and enter it, finding the secret [[NEST]] base inside...and a very grumpy Ironhide, warning them "get ready for ''pain''" before he bashes their heads together.

Ironhide has already told them (twice!) they can't bother Optimus, and as it turns out, he's not there anyway. (When asked why he didn't tell them, he says it was "need to know". Sarcastic git!) It's clear ''nobody'' believes the twins ''really'' have important info, not after all the times they've cried wolf before.

	Suddenly, NEST's human techies pick up a Decepticon signal heading for [[Las Vegas]]! Ironhide immediately organises a human strike team under [[Dundee\|Sergeant Dundee]] and has their transport prepped. The twins eagerly clamour to join in the op, saying they've got the right stuff... to which Ironhide says no, they suck. Their laissez-faire approach makes them a liability, and they're too immature to be used in the real world. If they want his trust, they need to earn it. (Mudflap comes ''close'' to saying something rude here...) As the NEST team leaves, the twins decide they're having none of that; they're going to Vegas to show Ironhide what they can do!
