This is just Prime (and movie and Kre-O).

The Safe and the Failsafe

Ratchet apologises for the fact that Earth materials aren't up to Cybertronian standards, but nonetheless unveils the "Safe", a training room full of weapons. Raf wonders if it stands for "Systems And Firing Evaluation"—Ratchet just meant it was a safe place to train, but likes Raf's idea better. Raf, for one, is impressed by the hardware. Bulkhead wonders if they really need more training, though as Optimus Prime points out, there are more Decepticons than Autobots.

Ratchet hits the on button, and Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Arcee proceed to go up against automated turrets. Bulkhead hits on the idea of simply smashing everything. Unfortunately in doing so he encounters something not in the original spec—a short-range nuclear ballistic missile which is now counting down ominously. If that's not bad enough Jack and Mika alert them to another threat: a group of Vehicons have mistaken the missile's energy signature for energon and are incoming.

While Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee head out to deal with the 'Cons, Bulkhead holds the roof up so Ratchet and Raf can work on disabling the bomb. Outside, the three Autobots wade into the incoming Decepticons and swiftly dispatch them. Inside, Raf momentarily panics, causing Mika to point out that their time is short. After a moment's thought, Raf reprograms the timer to count upwards instead of downwards, giving them a lot more time to defuse it.

Bulkhead is ready to go bash some 'Cons, but Arcee tells him that's already dealt with. Agent Fowler, having been altered by the missile's automatic tracking device, turns up with a team of scientists to defuse the bomb. Prime, believing that the bomb was placed there as a failsafe in case the Autobots ever turned on the humans, firmly tells them to take it with them when they leave. Later on, Ratchet suggests that Raf helps with the redesign of the "Safe".
