==Synopsis==
 
Buster is still confused by his new powers, but conceals the secret of them from his father. At the Blackrock Aerospace Assembly Plant, Shockwave, realizing that Optimus Prime no longer possesses the [[Creation Matrix]], sets about discovering what has happened to it. This inquiry leads Shockwave straight to Buster. Thankfully, the [[Autobot]]s are able to listen in on this discovery, and send Bumblebee and Bluestreak to protect them. While the Autobots are successful in locating the humans, this unfortunately leads the [[Decepticon]]s right to their location as well, and Shockwave dispatches a remote-controlled Jetfire (intended to be the latest Decepticon jet given life by the Creation Matrix, but denied life by Prime's machinations) to retrieve Buster. While Jetfire makes short work of the Autobots, Bumblebee realizes that Jetfire is not alive, and that Buster can control the Decepticon jet. Revealing his secret, Buster disassembles Jetfire with a thought. Bumblebee and Buster make plans to use Jetfire to aid in the rescue of Optimus Prime, while an Autobot convoy is already on the way. They only hope they are not too late.

This inquiry leads Shockwave straight to Buster. Thankfully, the Autobots are able to listen in on this discovery, and send Bumblebee and Bluestreak to protect them. While the Autobots are successful in locating the humans, this unfortunately leads the Decepticons right to their location as well, and Shockwave dispatches a remote-controlled Jetfire (intended to be the latest Decepticon jet given life by the Creation Matrix, but denied life by Prime's machinations) to retrieve Buster. While Jetfire makes short work of the Autobots, Bumblebee realizes that Jetfire is not alive, and that Buster can control the Decepticon jet. Revealing his secret, Buster disassembles Jetfire with a thought. Bumblebee and Buster make plans to use Jetfire to aid in the rescue of Optimus Prime, while an Autobot convoy is already on the way. They only hope they are not too late.
