Ravage is raised for a new mission.

Synopsis

Flashback to Ravage's death at the hands of Bumblebee just before Rampage's demise. In the present, Ravage's reconstructed form is brought back on-line in an undisclosed location. Again shifting locations, Ravage appears outside a military facility, searching for a "new target". Breaking in, he finds the remains of the appliancebots and appropriates them. His presence at the base is detected and he is forced to make a run for it, dodging helicopters and soldiers before escaping into a nearby river. The military mobilizes several jets to track him down. Ravage, meanwhile, has emerged on a beach and appears confused, revealing he is following the commands of a mysterious new master. He curls up on the ground to await further instructions, however, his catnap is interrupted by helicopters as the military tracks him down. Ravage destroys several helicopters before being surrounded by soldiers and jeeps. He unleashes Reedman, and although the smaller robot is eventually taken down by cyroblasts, he provides the distraction needed to allow Ravage to escape into an petrochemical plant.

Deciding the relatively subtle approach isn't working, officials at the White House ask the President of the United States for permission to level the plant.

In space, still linked to the US satellite, Soundwave is shocked and outraged that Ravage's remains have been tampered with.

Ravage makes a run for it as several jets close in on the plant. As they cut loose, he attempts to blast his way through the ground but the missiles detonate, demolishing the plant and throwing Ravage's battered body into a pit.

As the news reports blame a faulty intake valve for the explosion, a damaged but still online form settles in to wait for new instructions, surrounded by the remains of the appliancebots.
