==Synopsis==
After finding out that the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] have probably lost control due to their primary [[cybo-dendrons]] having burnt out {{storylink|The Icarus Theory}}, Optimus Prime assigns the [[Autobot]]s into teams to capture Snarl, Slag, Sludge and Grimlock before they can harm any [[human]]s.


The B Team (consisting of Mirage, Brawn and Trailbreaker) are assigned to Black Rock (''not'' [[G.B. Blackrock|Blackrock]]) desert in [[Nevada]] to capture Snarl, which they do (thanks to the help of a prototype molecular disintegration bomb being developed at a secret army base that Snarl destroys). Unfortunately, Laserbeak has been watching, giving the [[Decepticon]]s knowledge of the Autobots' mission and they make plans to disrupt it as much as possible.

Template:Comicnav The Autobots attempt to round up those crazy Dinobots but the Decepticons interfere....

Synopsis

After finding out that the Dinobots have probably lost control due to their primary cybo-dendrons having burnt out The Icarus Theory, Optimus Prime assigns the Autobots into teams to capture Snarl, Slag, Sludge and Grimlock before they can harm any humans.

The B Team (consisting of Mirage, Brawn and Trailbreaker) are assigned to Black Rock (not Blackrock) desert in Nevada to capture Snarl, which they do (thanks to the help of a prototype molecular disintegration bomb being developed at a secret army base that Snarl destroys). Unfortunately, Laserbeak has been watching, giving the Decepticons knowledge of the Autobots' mission and they make plans to disrupt it as much as possible.

In the waterways of Littlewood, California, Sludge is contentedly being filmed by Joy Meadows while the A Team (cue music — Windcharger, Gears and Cliffjumper) look for him. Unfortunately a Decepticon group consisting of Soundwave, Skywarp and Scavenger manage to find and knock out Sludge first. Stumbling upon the unconscious Sludge, the A Team gets taken out by the Decepticons, pleasing Soundwave greatly.

The Decepticon plan suffers a setback when they are too late to capture Slag in Idaho. A fried Laserbeak tells them of how Jetfire, Jazz and Ironhide (of D Team) managed to capture Slag (mainly by blocking Slag's flamethrower with Laserbeak in an attempt to make Idaho Fried Decepticon. However, Soundwave is unconcerned by this setback.

We soon find out the reason for Soundwave's lack of concern — the Decepticons have found Grimlock before the Autobots and have set Sludge on him. The town of Doonstown is reduced to a war zone as the two Dinobots fight, plunging into a frozen lake as they do. Bluestreak, Huffer and Sideswipe are early casualties as they try to stop the fight. Summoned by an urgent S.O.S., Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Prowl speed to the scene. The first three arrive and Prime attempts to keep the Dinobots in the lake while Ratchet goes to tend the members of C Team and Bumblebee finds a a hidden energy source.

The energy source turns out to be a cloaked Autobot Shuttle with Windcharger, Gears, Cliffjumper (as prisoners) and a Sonic Lance on board. Bumblebee rescues the captured Autobots as Prowl transfers his shuttle's electrical systems to the hull and bails out. The shock knocks out Grimlock, but Sludge, still controlled by the Sonic Lance, lunges for Prime. Bumblebee realizes that the Sonic Lance is probably booby trapped so he blows the shuttle up, causing Sludge to pass out before he can attack Prime.

Nearby, the Decepticons (having found an oil rig to steal energy from) hear the explosion and an elated Soundwave shouts that the Decepticons have emerged triumphant. Prime hears Soundwave but realizes he can do nothing until his injured Autobots are repaired.
