	You suggest Bumblebee contact Ratchet, but it turns out you're too deep underground to get a signal out. Prowl suddenly smells Blackarachnia, and leads the group through tunnels to a cavern, where the [[Decepticon]] is waiting. She shows you a holo-vid of Prime strapped to a bomb, with a giant unconscious [[Archa Seven arachnid\|spider]] nearby, explaining that the bomb's explosion will fuse Optimus into a [[Technorganic\|techno-organic]] like her, and she will finally have her revenge. She attacks Prowl, downloading his Decoy Mode function, allowing her to create a decoy hologram. Bumblebee is unsure which one is real, and your suggestion turns out to be the wrong one. The small 'bot is swiftly disabled by Blackarachnia before Bulkhead drives her off.		You suggest Bumblebee contact Ratchet, but it turns out you're too deep underground to get a signal out.

	While Bulkhead looks after Prowl and Bumblebee, you and Sari follow Blackarachnia, stumbling on her lair. As she has the detonator ready to trigger the bomb, you lunge for the detonator... and wake up stuck to a cybersilk web next to Sari. Reactivating the holo-vid, Blackarachnia triggers the detonator, and the picture disappears in static. Sari is anguished, but a few seconds later, Ratchet and Optimus Prime burst into the room! After Ratchet knocks out Blackarachnia with a magnetic pulse, Prime reveals that Ratchet had detected the holo-vid transmission and rigged [[~~Teletran-1~~\|Teletran]] to send a looped signal so that Ratchet could rescue Prime. The computer automatically cut the feed when it detected the detonation signal, making it appear as though the bomb had exploded. Optimus prepares to cut you and Sari down.

	You and [[Sari Sumdac\|Sari]] are out on [[Lake Erie]] testing her [[Isaac Sumdac\|dad]]'s latest invention, the [[Sumdac Aquaskimmer Mk 1]]. Though you and your friend are enjoying yourselves, danger looms as a torpedo appears. You're assisted by [[Bumblebee (Animated)\|Bumblebee]], who gives the vehicle a boost, allowing you to reach the shore, where [[Prowl (Animated)\|Prowl]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)\|Bulkhead]] are worried that the transmission they received from [[Ratchet (Animated)\|Ratchet]] was cut off. You and Sari make use of [[oxygen wafer]]s to accompany the Autobots to the ship sitting on the lake bed, only to find the ship is offline. While Prowl and Sari look for the problem, Bulkhead suggests that hitting a conduit with his wrecking ball might help. Luckily Ratchet arrives in time to stop him and bring the ship back online. He explains the ship was hit by [[Sparkseeker]] EMP-torpedoes, like the one which menaced you. Prowl reports from the bridge that [[Optimus Prime (Animated)\|Optimus]] is missing, and after a quick search, all you can find of the Autobot leader is his Ion Axe.

	On the bridge, Ratchet conducts a scan which detects [[Lockdown (Animated)\|Lockdown]]'s [[Death's Head (Animated)\|ship]] parked on the lake bed near [[Dinobot Island (Animated)\|Dinobot Island]]. This sends Ratchet into a war story, until Bumblebee distracts him long enough for you to sneak away. Within the hold of Lockdown's ship you find a huge empty cage made of [[Trobulum]], the toughest element known. As you head across the hold, Bulkhead spots what he thinks is an [[Ivcan music pod]], but when he activates it, turns out to be a [[stasis field generator]], which knocks out the three Autobots. Lockdown uses [[Polyxylon resin]] to immobilise you and Sari, and dumps you into Lake Erie.
