== Synopsis ==
Verity, Hunter and Jimmy explore the abandoned Decepticon base. In the process, Verity discovers a months-old human corpse and almost has a nervous breakdown. Topside, Skywarp and Blitzwing try to destroy the bunker, forcing Ratchet and Bumblebee into battle. Bumblebee is able to shoot down Skywarp, his processor speed outmatching Skywarp's, but Ratchet is taken out by Blitzwing.
Meanwhile, the [[Machination]] prepares to "appropriate" Cybertronian technology, having discovered the location of ''[[Ark-19]]'' via the [[SM-40]]'s homing signal.
Back underground, Verity discovers someone else has entered the bunker: Megatron.
