Blackarachnia has plans... for Wasp!
Synopsis
The Autobots engage in a high-speed chase after Wasp through the city of Detroit. Though Optimus Prime says he believes even Wasp doesn't know where he's going, the fugitive former Autobot makes clear one thing: they're not going to take him while he's still online. Bumblebee nearly catches Wasp, but the interference of Sentinel Prime allows him to get away again. Optimus insists that Sentinel's responsibility lies on Cybertron and that he ought to deliver the remaining prisoners to the stockade. Sentinel counters that he's sure that Wasp knew about the attack on Ultra Magnus, and he intends to bring him in.
With the help of the twins, the crew finally corners Wasp. Bumblebee tries to talk him down, but finds that his excuses fail to placate the fugitive. Optimus tells Wasp that the espionage charges against him have been dropped, but Sentinel again interferes and the two Primes get into an argument about jurisdiction. In the confusion, Wasp escapes again.

Quotes
Bumblebee: Hate to say it, but Sentinel's got a point. I'd feel a lot safer with Wasp behind bars.
Optimus: That's not your call to make, Bumblebee.
Sentinel: It's not your decision either, Optimus. I'm in command.
Optimus: On Cybertron. This is my jurisdiction, Sentinel.
Sentinel: This is a Cybertronian fugitive, and I'll enforce my authority as the...the uh...primer Prime!
Optimus: Did you just make that up?!
Sentinel: No!
Optimus: There's no such thing as a Primer Prime!
Sentinel: It's a real term. Look it up.
Optimus: I'm not gonna look it up!
- —Optimus and Sentinel engage in what can be politely described as a pissing contest.
Notes
Animation or technical errors
Continuity errors
Transformers references
- At the end of the episode, Blackarachnia comes face to face with a gorilla, a rhino, a cheetah, and a rat.
Real-world references
- When Blackarachnia presses some buttons on her computer, they sound the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- The transwarp experimentation chambers look and function exactly like the telepods from David Cronenberg's The Fly.
Trivia
- That's now four episodes in a row without a single mention of Sari. C'mon, guys, just a little thought isn't that hard to do...
- The rat near the ending may be really big, or really close.
- OK, we all know that it's first and foremost a huge, gratuitous, fan-service, here, but what are a rat, a rhinoceros, a gorilla and a cheetah doing together, seriously ?
- Is it really gratuitous fan-service?
