Wheeljack gets impounded.

Summary

After a few weeks of no contact from Wheeljack, Arcee and Bulkhead tail Knock Out to get information from him. After crashing into him and taking him prisoner, Knock Out tells them he hit Wheeljack with a prototype weapon - the circulation rupture-rod - which drained his energy until he could not talk, move or transform. Knock Out left him in a tow away zone, where he was taken away to an impound lot.

A bored Wheeljack waits in the impound lot, when the lot's magnet crane picks him up to place in the car crusher. Just before he can be dropped, Agent Fowler comes in, claiming Wheeljack is evidence for a case he is working on. After driving away from the lot, the rod is removed and Wheeljack transforms, before turning to Knock Out. Arcee and Bulkhead tell Wheeljack he can't hurt Knock Out, which Wheeljack agrees to, but says he has a different idea. Arcee, Bulkhead, Fowler and Wheeljack return to the Autobot base, where Ratchet questions the whereabouts of the rod. Knock Out is shown in the ocean with the rod in his hood, complaining about how the sea water is ruining his paint.
