Arcee's ship was entering a planet's atmosphere, probably [[Earth|Earth's]], when Thundercracker appeared and blasted the ship out of the sky. Arcee was trapped in the ruins of the ship while her shipmates went outside to battle Thundercracker. When she managed to get herself free, she thought her audio receptors were damaged, but the silence was because there was nobody fighting.

Thundercracker believed otherwise and told him to not make any mistake this time as he had nearly depleted his post's supply of protoforms.

Arcee finds herself as the subject of a twisted Decepticon experiment.

Synopsis

The events of this book take place between Reign of Starscream #5 and Alliance #4.

As the ship Arcee is on enters a planet's atmosphere (probably Earth), Thundercracker appears and blasts the ship from the sky. Arcee is trapped in the ship's remains as her shipmates leave the wreckage to battle Thundercracker. As she finally frees herself, she finds it has gone strangely quiet, as Thundercracker has emerged from the battle victorious. As he approaches her and says he's glad to see her, she blacks out.

She wakes up later with a scream, horrified by seeing her dead and dissected body on a table in front of her. She is in the laboratory of Flatline, a Decepticon field medic, and her spark has been transferred to a protoform body. Flatline notices she is awake and reports to Thundercracker that he thinks her spark is not strong enough to power "the rest". Thundercracker disagrees and tells Flatline to try again, without making any more mistakes, as they're running out of protoforms. As Thundercracker heads down to see their new warriors for himself, Flatline leaves to gather more supplies, telling Arcee to stay put.

As she looks around, Arcee is surprised to see Skids and Mudflap in an energy cage. The Twins note that Arcee "doesn't look right", "none of them do". This leads Arcee to further notice the two lifeless protoforms next to her, and wonder aloud what is going on. The Twins debate over which one should answer her, but when she cuts them off and demands they just tell her, Flatline returns and answers her for them: Arcee's spark was saved by the medic as part of an experiment to speed up the development of new protoforms and quickly produce more Decepticon soldiers.

Flatline also explains that he only did part of the dissection, with most of the initial damage having been caused by Thundercracker. The mech in question comes in just in time to hear this, and claims he was happy to do so. Arcee feels a surge of hatred over Thundercracker killing her teammates, but can't yet remember his name.
