Synopsis
Soundwave is training Devastator after his disappointing first battle. Shockwave then sends them to capture Buster Witwicky, who is attending a demolition derby with Jessie. Sparkplug, meanwhile, shows Optimus Prime a drawing Buster did while having a nightmare. Prime sends a team led by Smokescreen to watch over the human. The Constructicons arrive and battle the Autobots, before forming Devastator. Just then, Buster collapses.
While Devastator delays the Autobots, Soundwave is able to scan Buster's mind. Smokescreen is able to confront the Decepticon, but is surprised when Soundwave immediately offers to retreat. The Autobots take Buster back to the Ark, while Soundwave reports to Shockwave, telling him that, thanks to the Matrix, Buster has a vision of the future of the Transformers race.
