Hunt for the Decepticons storybooks

Sam Witwicky was working on a large supermagnet in science lab, and little did he know that his new lab assistant was secretly a Decepticon spy! Megatron had placed him there to watch the Autobots' human friend. However, Mudflap and Skids had already suspected that the new lab assistant was a Decepticon spy, and was ordered to monitor both the new lab assistant and Sam closely.

When the time was right, Megatron ordered the new lab assistant to transform into his robotic form, hack into Sam's lab computer, and send Optimus Prime a fake message, luring the Autobot leader into a trap at the science lab.

By the time the new lab assistant and Starscream arrived at the science lab, Optimus Prime had already escaped, leaving Megatron behind, stuck upside-down to the supermagnet. Prime Target

Notes

• Like Alice, the new lab assistant is a movie-style Pretender.
• Whilst Alice had a fairly distinct looking robot form, this character has one that more-than-a-little resembles the Terminator franchise's T-800.
• Why did he have to transform into robot form to hack a computer, when his altmode has opposable digits, too?
