The Decepticons plan to locate the Autobots' recovery base and steal all of their fuel!
Synopsis
An explosion prompts Soundwave to come rushing out from the underground Decepticon base, wondering if their dwindling oil supply has exploded. He finds that Megatron has destroyed Shockwave! Well...turns out he destroyed a model of Shockwave. But next time it'll be for real! That'll teach Shockwave to try and usurp Megatron! Soundwave humbly suggests using Shockwave's own logic and reasoning against him, and points out that Shockwave has been gaining power by delivering more oil to the Decepticon warriors.
A group of Dinobots is flying toward the Autobot base, having left their jungle-filled "recovery base" deep below the Antarctic. As Optimus and Prowl monitor, the Dinobots come under Decepticon attack. Slag grumpily notes that traveling in a large group was a bad idea, and he turns around to return to the recovery base alone—but Ramjet knocks him out of the sky. Prime sends Ratchet to repair Slag at the recovery base.
The Decepticons are tracking Slag, however, and take note of how he enters the recovery base—the location of the Autobots' oil supply! Megatron activates the thermo-borer, intending to use the oil against them.
The thermo-borer breaks into the Autobot base, where Ratchet is repairing Slag. Alarms go off, prompting Megatron to pull back, but not before Ratchet fires a device at the thermo-borer. Ratchet returns to his repairs, annoyed that it's taking so long, as he needs that time to reactivate the remaining Dinobots, still trapped in tar pit cocoons.
Prowl reports that things are quiet and that Ratchet's Memory Scrambling Mine should have erased the Decepticons' records of how to find the recovery base. Unfortunately, the Decepticons have countered the device with a new Beta Blocking Shield and still have the locations of all Autobot bases. Ignoring Soundwave's suggestion that they stealthily siphon off the Autobots' oil supplies, Megatron instead orders an attack aboard a giant vehicle known as the Crusher.
The Crusher begins slicing into the Antarctic ice shelf, cutting loose huge icebergs, which raise ocean levels and flood Earth's cities. Prime launches the Autobot superjets to counterattack. Ratchet and Slag flee as the Crusher begins to bore its way into the recovery base, noticing that the tar pits are beginning to boil and erupt.
Suddenly, hundreds of Dinobots burst from the tar pits, freed by the Crusher's vibrations. As Ratchet and Slag join the attack, the Crusher is ripped apart. Soundwave and Megatron escape in the escape pod.
