	The [[Autobot]]s, meanwhile, have returned to Earth, with [[Snarl (Cybertron)\|Snarl]] in tow. The wolf-bot is ill at ease in the artificial enclosure that is the Autobots' base, but [[Jetfire (Armada)\|Jetfire]] and the kids offer to help him get acclimated by giving him a tour.		The [[Autobot]]s, meanwhile, have returned to Earth, with [[Snarl (Cybertron)\|Snarl]] in tow. The wolf-bot is ill at ease in the artificial enclosure that is the Autobots' base, but [[Jetfire (Armada)/Cartoon continuity\|Jetfire]] and the kids offer to help him get acclimated by giving him a tour.

	Elsewhere on Earth, the mysterious government agent that has long been observing the Transformers—at last identified as "[[Mike Franklin\|Colonel Franklin]]"—is mobilizing the armed forces to capture the fugitive Crosswise. The Autobot soon comes across a roadblock intended to apprehend him, and uses his [[Cyber Key]] power to blast out the guard wall of the road, allowing him to escape by going off-road. The light from his Cyber Key attracts the attention of Starscream and Sideways, who track him until he arrives at the site of his still-intact seal. Crosswise remains on guard when Starscream approaches him, and asks him a question that makes Sideways start in surprise: Starscream believes that the third Cyber Planet Key is on Earth, and that Crosswise knows where it is! A two-on-one battle erupts, but Crosswise is wise enough to know when to cut-and-run, so Starscream has Sideways pursue him while he investigates the mysterious subterranean seal.
