Strongarm flexes her detective muscles to solve a baffling series of Decepticon thefts; she may need to stand up to her teammates in order to bring a perp to justice.

Synopsis

You don't understand, I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum.

Nobody escapes. Nobody ever really escapes.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They said when you got here the whole thing started. Who are you? What are you? Where did you come from? I think you're the cause of all of this. I think you're evil. EVIL!
