	The [[Gulf of Alaska]], 5.52 A.M. local time. An fishing boat, working for an [[United States of America\|American]] company named [[Concord Fisheries]], is about two days ahead of its quota, and the crew is wondering whether they should dock early and unload, or try to continue their lucky streak.

	Suddenly, the boat hits an obstacle. As the captain orders a code red, the crew realizes they have run across at least a dozen dead whales, each of them with a shard of metal sticking out of its back. The crew proceeds to lift some of the whales on board to examine their bodies and realizes that their flesh looks burnt, as if they had been torched. Eventually they notice a shard of metal sticking out of one of the bodies.

The Coast Guard captain decides to send divers down to investigate. Although the captain of the fishing boat objects the use of live divers, the Coast Guard captain insists that clearance for mech use takes too long, and he wants to find out what's going on underwater as soon as possible. As the three divers reach 140 feet, they discover a large spaceship sporting a huge Autobot insignia. One of the divers calls the Coast Guard captain via radio, asking for assistance.

	The [[Gulf of Alaska]], 5.52 A.M. local time. An fishing boat, working for an [[United States of America\|American]] company named [[Concord Fisheries]], is about two days ahead of its quota, and the crew is wondering whether they should dock early and unload, or try to continue their lucky streak. The boat's captain, meanwhile, is distracted and keeps thinking about his family.		The [[Gulf of Alaska]], 5.52 A.M. local time. An fishing boat, working for an [[United States of America\|American]] company named [[Concord Fisheries]], is about two days ahead of its quota, and the crew is wondering whether they should dock early and unload, or try to continue their lucky streak. The boat's captain, meanwhile, is distracted and keeps thinking about his family.

	Suddenly, the boat hits an obstacle. As the captain orders a code red, the crew realizes they have run across at least a dozen dead whales, each of them with a shard of metal sticking out of its back. The crew proceeds to lift some of the whales on board to examine their bodies and realizes that their flesh looks burnt, as if they had been torched. Eventually they notice a shard of metal sticking out of one of the bodies. Upon realizing that one of them sports an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]], the captain decides to call the [[United States Coast Guard\|Coast Guard]].		Suddenly, the boat hits an obstacle.

	Meanwhile, [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] is standing on a hilltop in the desert, staring at an electric storm at the horizon. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)\|Spike]] climbs up to talk to him, joking about getting older. Prime isn't listening, however, as he is having an inexplicable feeling that a huge threat for the Autobots, unlike anything they ever encountered before, is headed their way. Suddenly Prime has a seizure, loses his balance and falls off the hill, crashing onto the ground.
