Kup hunts for an Autobot traitor.
Synopsis
The Autobot ship is out of control, either going to burn up or crash into Earth—causing the energon goodwill gift to the humans to detonate like a multi-nuclear strike. Kup searches for the saboteur and for Rodimus Prime, and seemingly finds both when he discovers Longtooth over Prime's body. Arcee quickly reveals Longtooth can't have done it, and that the doors to the retro-engines are sealed shut. Rodimus, coming to, is unable to remember why he passed out.
Kup comes up with a plan, explaining to Rodimus Prime that Arcee is going to reach the retro engines via the coolant tank. In actual fact, she's going through the ship's ducts, and she's able to fire the retros and allow the ship to land (badly). But Kup's plan has caused the saboteur to reveal himself, as they try to intercept Arcee at the coolant tanks—and the saboteur is Rodimus himself, possessed by dark forces...
