[edit]
At 8am on July 4th 1986, as Ricky Vasquez was preparing to leave for work at the Hoover dam hydroelectric plant, he was injected with a cerebro-shell by the Decepticon Bombshell in insect mode. Brushing it off as an ordinary insect bite, he promised his daughter Maria that he would be back home in time to take her to see the celebratory fireworks that evening, said goodbye to his wife and drove away.
Shortly afterwards the cerebro-shell took control of Ricky's mind and Bombshell directed him to pull his car over to where Megatron, Shrapnel and Kickback were waiting to hitch a ride. Upon his arrival at the plant Ricky walked past the security guard while carrying gun-mode Megatron in his hand and made his way to the control room where Kickback removed the door from its hinges. Speaking like Shatner, Vasquez ordered the terrified workers to turn off the dam. Once this was achieved, the Decepticons dropped any pretense of deception, speaking to each other in front of the humans while Ricky remained silent. However, the shell's control over Ricky was not complete; he heard and understood Megatron's prediction that Earth would be turned into a wasteland.
Outside, the space bridge had materialized, bringing with it from Cybertron the Coneheads and a gigantic drill to leech the dam's power. The Aerialbots arrived and joined in battle with the Decepticons, ultimately routing Megatron's forces, and combined into Superion to destroy the drill. Taking direct control of Ricky's mind, Megatron forced him onto the dam itself and ordered him to destroy the gestalt robot. Finding that he couldn't prevent Superion from attacking humans, Silverbolt disengaged the Aerialbots and ordered them to retreat. Megatron once again ordered Vasquez to fire upon Silverbolt, but the human's growing resistance to the cerebro-shell, coupled with Maria's intervention, allowed him to break Megatron's control and fire upon the drill instead.
His plan in ruins, Megatron retreated with the Insecticons, leaving Ricky to apologize to Carmen and Maria that he wouldn't be able to take them to see the fireworks that night as he was going to have to answer a lot of questions at the police station. Maria replied that didn't mind, as she'd seen plenty of fireworks already. Aerialbots over America!
