Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot details follow. Please give an expiry date ({{spoiler|(story)|DATE}}) - either the date of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner

Hunter O'Nion is in a strange medical facility surrounded by personnel but he quickly passes out.

At an auto-parts store in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Ironhide and Ratchet observe that the store has sophisticated scanners that could detect their holo-matter drivers. Logically, Verity and Jimmy can sneak in as they are organic (how convenient).

The Decepticons have discovered the Autobots in Brasnya, and Blitzwing is camouflaged and in prime position to take a shot at Optimus Prime. Megatron gives the go ahead, but as he's about to fire, Roller (controlled by Prime) takes Blitzwing out with a cannon blast. Megatron gives the order for Georgi Koska to self terminate and the other Autobots scramble to preserve him for study. Skywarp and Astrotrain attack the Autobots but the arrival of Hardhead and Hot Rod help even the odds. Prime prepares to face down Megatron.

At the auto shop, Verity and Jimmy poke around for information but set off a booby trap.
