Synopsis
Optimus Prime narrates to the Autobots a sequence of accidents that sunk ships out at sea: Eight days ago, a transport ship from Carbombya was sunk by a mysterious unidentified object, and this was only one incident in a spate of maritime accidents in the last 47 days. At the accident site, a strange biomechanical creature was found which showed evidence of DNA alteration and nanotechnology. Five days later, another accident occurred, and another creature was seen. The Autobots tracked it to an underwater Decepticon base, which raised suspicion of Decepticon involvement in the accidents.
To investigate and attack, Splashdown and Diver are sent to transport a submarine containing "cargo" to the Decepticon base. The two Pretenders are mystified at the lack of activity or guards as they approach, but inside, they spot two Constructicons. The submarine opens to reveal Cliffjumper and a black Optimus Prime—the result of placing a human mind into an "OP type body". This first result uses the mind of Dann. [sic] This plan also takes advantage of the fear of Optimus Prime inherent in all Decepticons, a fear later proved when the two Constructicons remark how screwed they are that Optimus Prime would deign to attack their "tiny mining base". The black Optimus makes easy work of the Constructicons and enters a room with an opening to the outside sea. Suddenly, he is attacked!
