Synopsis
On a quiet day at the Autobot camp, Bumblebee has nothing to do. He tries to help Optimus Prime but is told the repairs Prime are doing are too hard for him. He offers to helps Gears take stock of gasoline but is unable to reach the high barrels. He tries to join in with Bluestreak and Sideswipe who are racing to check their speeds, but they make fun of him for being slow and upset he drives off into the nearby mountains, contemplating that he belongs in a junkyard.
Meanwhile the Decepticons have a new invention: a jet engine silencer that will enable them to attack by surprise. Megatron orders the Decepticons to transform and attack.
Sitting on the edge of a tall cliff, Bumblebee spots the approaching Decepticons with his telescopic vision. He rushes back to camp shouting his warning, but Prowl dismisses him. If they were coming they'd hear the jets coming. Optimus Prime backs up Bumblebee, and orders the Autobots to break camp and move 20 miles south. Mirage stays put to creats a mirage that the camp is still there.
The Decepticons attack, exhausting their firepower. Megatron starts to wonder why the Autobots are not fighting back, and why their bombs aren't causing any damage. When the Decepticons move in for a closer look the Autobots appear and fight them off. The Autobots are greatful for Bumblebee's warning and Optimus Prime commends him for his courage.
