While some of their number duke it out outside the Cyber-City, other members of the Earthforce and Terrorcons go on a hunt for more escape pods.
Synopsis
Part 1
The Skyboom's Mini-Con components bemoan the fact that they have to stay behind while the others battle, but Wheeljack and Gears reassure them that it's for their own safety. Gears then points out that Armada Megatron's narrow focus on claiming the shield and defeating Laser Optimus gives them an opening to break into the Cyber-City fragment. Wheeljack orders them to split into two groups: Gears, Hoist, and Brawn will look for any weapons or devices that the Decepticons can use against them, while he and Blaster will look for the other escape pods Armada Scavenger mentioned.
Part 2
While Megatron and several of the Terrorcons battle the other Earthforce members, Armada Wheeljack tells Breakdown Prime and Tiptop that he thinks something's up. He suspects the rest of the Autobots are on a hunt for other Cyber-City escapees - many of which are very strong warriors - and decides that the three of them should do the same. In fact, once they've rescued said soldiers, perhaps they can claim the Skyboom for themselves!
