Synopsis
In Dallas, Texas Carnivac is angry with Springer and strikes out. When he agreed to join the Survivors, he had hoped for some fights and is unhappy with working as a disaster relief service handling train crashes, burning oil rigs, hijacks and the like.

Carnivac runs off alone, thinking how the high profile role in saving humans that the Survivors have taken on is likely to attract the Decepticons who will want their renegades dead. Suddenly, a human car crashes into Carnivac and the driver, recognising the ex-Decepticon from television, pleads for help in dealing with a giant mechanical dog that is terrorising the area. Carnivac is initially dismissive but then realises he has to make a stand sometime and charges the dog, rapidly dispatching it.
