The Protectobots learn the value of teamwork. Jetfire begins his search for the meaning to all the mayhem.

Synopsis

Springer dives at Ratbat, angry at the Ultracons for violating the Crisis Intervention Accord by releasing Devastator. Ratbat fights back, accusing Springer's Wreckers of being hypocrites.

Beneath Virtue's Forum in the Autobase, Jetfire wonders aloud to [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker and Bluestreak if the recent battles have been occurring as part of a pattern. The two Autobots leave Jetfire to investigate this possibility by himself.

Prowl and a team of Autobots explore the border regions of Iacon searching for the new Decepticon Mobile Command Base. But soon as they arrive at the Praetorus Wharf, they discover they're actually driving across the base they were looking for.

Back at the Tagan Heights, Devastator and Defensor continue to rumble, causing the industrial area to become progressively more unstable. The Wreckers find themselves trapped by flames and explosions. Springer attempts to reason with Defensor, but Devastator won't let Springer be heard. The Protectobots disassemble from Defensor and work as a team to electrocute Devastator into separation.

Deep within the Autobase, Jetfire decides his search for a pattern behind the skirmishes and the truth behind the pattern would be helped with the mind of another... the intellectual Shockwave. Sending Shockwave a message of forced rationale, the Decepticon agrees to rendezvous. But Grimlock overhears the communication.
