<!-- [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] squares off with [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] in the scrapyard, getting knocked back on his skidplate and bailed out by [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]]...as the Clays and [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] watch the training exercise from the sidelines. The controller for the drone that is simulating Thunderhoof is damaged in the scuffle, however, and the drone goes out of control, bashing Sideswipe aside and almost stomping Sidearm flat before Fixit distracts it, giving Sideswipe a chance to finish it off, the drone powering down and losing its Thunderhoof holo-disguise as the other Autobots charge in, having been alerted to a scuffle; Fixit tells them everything has been resolved. | |||
[In between goes here!] | |||
Scatterspike and Sawtooth return to the Scavengers' ship, [[Buzzstrike]] waving to his fellow Mini-Con as [[Paralon]] glowers at them. [[Clawtrap]] greets them and demands to know what happened; Scatterspike wastes no time in throwing Sawtooth under the bus, blaming the entire fiasco on his being incompetent. Sawtooth cringes, but Clawtrap's anger quickly passes, replaced by an overly cheery smile as he tells them not to worry, as there are ''much'' bigger prizes just waiting to be seized. Relieved, Sawtooth backs away to leave, only for a giant wing to reach out and snatch him away... | |||
...and face to face with [[Aerobolt]] behind some convienent storage crates, where the avian Mini-Con quietly asks for the ''truth'' about what happened. Sawtooth quickly explains, observing that since the Autobot and their "free Mini-Con" saved their lives, they might be able to be trusted. Aerobolt's reponse is entirely negatory; the nature of the threat the Mini-Cons are hiding from is such that they can't afford to trust ''anyone''. Sawtooth counters that eventually they're going to have to trust ''someone'', a fact that gives Aerobolt no comfort. | |||
Back at the scrapyard, Bumblebee has called up [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] on Cybertron and reported on the situation; Optimus tells him that he was right to call for assistiance, and he'll arrive soon to help deal with things. The call ended, Denny apologises for the mixup with the GroundBridge; Bee cuts off what has obviously been tread over before by saying the humans don't need to apologise...because they won't be so much as ''looking'' at Cybertronian technology again until Fixit is satisfied they're competent to use it. The Mini-Con meanwhile tells Strongarm that her score has improved...by 1.5 points. An outraged Sideswipe comes to her defense, demanding to know why all the things she accomplished didn't add up to more; Strongarm tells him she's grateful but he doesn't need to help, as she's accepted that the numbers aren't what matters, the fact she's doing good is. Sideswipe, surprised, says that's a very mature attitude to take, but can't resist taunting her over the fact that he beat her by four and a half points. An amused Strongarm tells Fixit that she felt bad that he couldn't evaluate himself, so she gave him his own evaluation on her own; Fixit excitedly asks what his score was...only for Strongarm to say she believes that should be a secret, lest he fret over the difference in his score compared to the others. She then walks away with Sideswipe, leaving the increasingly frantic Mini-Con pleading to at least be told what (increasingly lower) number his score was higher than. --> | |||

Quotes
Notes
Continuity notes
- The existence of a base earlier than Autobot Outpost Omega One alludes to the undefined period of time that the Autobots spent on Earth prior to the events of the Transformers: Prime animated series. This part of their story has been left completely untold in all "Aligned" media (even the comprehensive history in The Covenant of Primus), but the 'bots were established at the beginning of Prime to have been on Earth for at least three years. Bumblebee notes that his workout video in the previous episode was "in style" at the time of its recording, implying that the Autobots were on Earth in the 1980s.
Transformers references
- The training simulator, minus the Thunderhoof hologram, bears a more-than-uncanny resemblance to the auto-combatant from The Transformers: The Movie... well, with giant antlers added on, of course.
- Mount St. Hilary being the location of the first Autobot base on Earth is, of course, a cross-continuity allusion to the volcano being the location of the Autobots' base of operations in the original Generation 1 Marvel comic and cartoon (though it was only named in the former).
Real-world references
Trivia
- Strongarm's temporary magnetism, including her becoming stuck to Scatterspike, is exceptionally similar to what happened with Arcee and Bulkhead when they were affected by the polarity gauntlet in "Metal Attraction".
