Rattrap dreams of Brainstorm, who as a Headmaster knows what it's like to be small.

Synopsis

As his dream continues, Rattrap meets Cana, who tells him being small is no big deal since you can grow bigger with practice. The Headmaster shows Rattrap his Transtector he built and explains how he worked hard to learn to combine with it and become Brainstorm, a process he then demonstrates. Placing Rattrap in his canopy, Brainstorm tells him the story of his people: having fled the war on Cybertron, a group of tiny robots like him wound up on a "planet of death", a world so inhospitable it was even deadlier than the war itself. With nowhere left to run, they were forced to get stronger to survive, and they did: Brainstorm proves as much by punctuating his speech with a powerful blast to Scorponok's face. After the Autobot sums up his lesson, urging Rattrap not to give up just because of his small stature, an inspired Rattrap wakes up and takes a morning jog, intent on growing stronger.
