Arcee stumbles upon a Decepticon mining operation.

Summary

After a GroundBridge malfunction, Arcee is sent to a desert, where she spots and admires a chameleon's color-shifting, but claims their disguises are "better". A stampede of animals alerts her to investigate, soon finding a Decepticon energon mining operation manned by Vehicons. Arcee makes a brave leap into a crate of energon without the Vehicons noticing.

Hidden inside the crate, Arcee is put into the Vehicon's transport, where she emerges from the crate. Sensors have alerted the Vehicons to strange activity inside the cargo hold, and Arcee manages to elude detection... till Ratchet calls her over the comm to alert her of a GroundBridge to pick her up. Her location revealed, Arcee engages with the Vehicons, shooting the crates behind them so they fall on the Decepticons and quickly end the battle. The GroundBridge portal opens, and Arcee revs through, meeting Jack on the other side. The human is bemused by the amount of sand Arcee brings along.
