Aided by a mysterious benefactor, Detroit's B-level villains team up to take down the Autobots once and for all.
Summary
Nanosec is on the loose again, and leading the Autobots for a merry chase. As they pursue him, they wonder how and why he's young again. As they're no closer to catching him, Optimus Prime instructs Bumblebee to head off down a side street and come back around to cut off his escape. Bumblebee disregards this order, reasoning that he's the "star player" and is more than fast enough to get Nanosec on his own. As he speeds up, a mysterious force hits him and stops him in his tracks, which leaves the other Autobots no room to react. Nanosec escapes, and before Bumblebee can snap out of it the Autobots crash into him. Optimus Prime expresses his disappointment in the little yellow one, and orders him back to base so that Ratchet can run a diagnostic on his drivetrain.
Bumblebee ignores this order as well, resolving to find Nanosec again to prove to Optimus that he isn't malfunctioning. His search proves fruitless until Sari discovers that due to his scanning of Captain Fanzone's car, Bumblebee has a built in police scanner. Hearing a report of a robbery in progress, he reasons it's Nanosec and heads over. He's wrong though, as it turns out to be the Angry Archer. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, he decides to capture the other villain. Again, he is about to pursue when mysterious blue energy skids him to a halt. Sari urges him to have Ratchet check him out, but he still believes it's nothing serious. A third and final crime scene turns out to be Professor Princess trying to level a video arcade. Yet again he is stopped by the blue energy, and since it affects him in his robot mode he finally admits he has a problem. However Sari notices that her key reacts when the energy lashes out, and surmises that an AllSpark fragment may be at fault. As she deduces this, a shady figure on a rooftop skulks off.
Soon that same figure meets with the other three villains at her lair, introducing herself as Slo-Mo. She reveals that she has aided each of them on their respective heists recently, due to her timepiece which can disable machines, even Transformers. She and Nanosec hit it off immediately, due in no small part to the fact that her time-based superpowers are what restored him to the prime of youth. She proposes to all of them that they make a great team, and should form a crime syndicate. Professor Princess protests that she is not a criminal, but is quickly convinced.
Soon, news reports are everywhere regarding the new crime wave and its perpetrators. Bumblebee is quite frustrated at being repeatedly thwarted by Slo-Mo, but is soon hopeful as he hears a burglar alarm. This time the criminals have bitten off more than they can chew, having loaded themselves down with too much loot. They try to escape and are initially successful, stopping Bumblebee. However the cops soon have them surrounded without any getaway car. Slo-Mo receives a call on her watch phone, and gets an offer from a mysterious benefactor. Taking the deal, the gang pile into a garish yellow Hummer and peel out.

Quotes
"An Autobot. Verily, the arrows of outrageous misfortune seek to pierce me to the quick. Exeunt!"
- —Angry Archer. Yon criminal maketh his escape...or something.
"Explosions aren't nice.... except when they look like BEAUTIFUL RAINBOWS!"
- —Professor Princess, ever the fashion plate.
"Ooh, I like a man who works fast!"
"And I like a girl who takes it slow."
- —Slo-Mo and Nanosec go over the target audience's heads. Hopefully.
"Negatronic force field emitter. A little something I picked up in an arms deal with the Vok of Nexus Zero. Nice creatures, the Vok. If you're ever in the Nexus Zero area, do yourself a favor and check them out. You won't be sorry."
- —Swindle thinks the Vok are quite nice. It probably helps if they're not destroying your planet.
"Welcome to Sumdac Tower. Porter C. Powell is a booger-head."
- —Receptionist-Bot calls it like it is...with a little help from Sari Sumdac.
Optimus: You should have called us sooner. If that weapon had gotten into Megatron's hands—
Bumblebee: I know. I guess I just wanted to prove that I still had my touch.
Ratchet: Well, I hope you learned something about team work.
Bumblebee: Oh yeah. Even the star player needs backup sometimes.
- —Bumblebee learns the value of teamwork. Humility? Not so much...
Other notes
Continuity errors
- Nanosec's mugshot should've had a long beard, as he was apprehended right after Bumblebee had ran him into old age.
- It was show throughout the episode that the watch could only slow down something temporary, unless there was a continuous blast of it like from Swindle's machine. Despite this, Swindle is somehow trapped permanently by it deflecting off a shield.
Transformers references
- Swindle mentions having dealings with the Vok on Nexus Zero.
- Fanzone mentions Swindle will be stripped and sold as parts. How ironic...
Real-world references
- Nanosec and the Archer's team name suggestions of "The Fast and the Villainous" and "The League of Extraordinary Criminals" are references to The Fast and the Furious and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, respectively.
- Nanosec calls the Archer "William Smell", referencing legendary Swiss archer William Tell.
Miscellaneous trivia
- This episode was first shown in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It made its English language debut in Canada, one week before its US debut.
- Bulkhead appears, but says nothing.
- This episode has the most "guest" voice actors yet, at three: Brian Posehn (Nanosec), Kath Soucie (Professor Princess), and Fred Willard (Swindle).
- In the end, Swindle is trapped in a state that Bumblebee could stand being in for less than an hour, forever, and the Autobots don't seem to object to him being ripped apart and sold for spare parts. That seems a tad, excesive.
