Teen hacker Adam Reynolds mis-dials while trying to reach his local bank and instead reaches the Decepticon Mainframe Computer. A fluke results in him typing the correct access code, and he reads in amazement the history of the Autobot/Decepticon war.

The Decepticon Mainframe Computer sends a 1,000,000 volt surge down Adam's phone line, destroying his computer and burning up his printouts. Adam would have been killed—except this cat startled him back from the computer a moment before it exploded.
