There's a busy Bee in the city.


Summary

Professor Sumdac tests a new space-warp teleportation device in an attempt to transport the Autobots home. It malfunctions, sending Sari, Optimus and Bumblebee to the city of Axiom Nexus on an alternate version of Cybertron.

There, they are soon confronted by Officer Flareup, who notes that, by their very presence, they have violated the city's rules against no mechs named Prime or Megatron and no cosmic MacGuffins (in this case, Sari's key), rules established to preserve this Cybertron's utter lack of war. They soon meet Beast Wars universe Megatron (or a version of him, at least), who is going by the alias "Joe" to avoid arrest and/or deportation himself. Having overheard the group conversing about Sari's key, Megatron is all too eager to gain this MacGuffin and utilize its power for his own nefarious plans.

However, before Flareup can have the newcomers taken in for deportation, they encounter the morally ambiguous scientist Shockwave, from the Menacing and Foreboding Sciences Division of the Axiom Nexus military. He takes all the new visitors into custody except Bumblebee, reasoning the plucky, yellow, kid-friendly character will be essentially ineffective without an Earth-kid companion.

"Joe" and Flareup agree to help Bumblebee make a rescue attempt, but once they reach Shockwave's lab, Megatron eventually reveals his true name and ambitions. He snatches the key and uses it to bring to life a variety of Shockwave's lab equipment. However, Flareup introduces the new robots to the concept of bureaucracy. Less than thrilled with all the paperwork their new lives will entail just to be part of society, the new robot army turn on Megatron and drag him away. Shockwave provides Prime, Bumblebee and Sari a way home, and he and Flareup agree never to speak of the incident again.
