Synopsis
At the defensive perimeter around Autobot City, several Guardians face off against Decepticon Seekers and Wall Crawlers, trying to hold the line without wasting the dwindling Autobot energon reserves. Suddenly, however, the Lightning Strike Coalition joins the battle, and proceeds to carve its way through the enemy forces with no concern for energy conservation. Its leader, Grimlock wants answers: why do the Decepticons fight as if energon supply is no concern, and what happened to the soldier he sent to investigate that question?
At High Command in Iacon, the Coalition's offensive draws the attention of Optimus Prime, Perceptor and Jazz, and the Autobot leader demands that they fall back and stop wasting energon. Although Grimlock initially refuses, he is persuaded to follow orders by his teammates, and they break off their assault.
Later, back at Iacon, Optimus admonishes Grimlock for his actions, but the warrior retorts that the Autobot leader's strategy consists of sitting and waiting for the Decepticons to win. The Coalition leader hands Prime the recordings from their earlier battle, and then storms off into the base. Whilst Optimus and Jazz lament the Autobots' situation, and restate that the Ark is their best hope, Perceptor goes to Grimlock with an incoming transmission, for his eyes only. The broadcast is from Swoop, who has found where the Decepticons are getting energon, but is cut off before he can elaborate. Angered, Grimlock immediately declares that the Lightning Strike Coalition is setting out to find its missing member.

Notes
Errors
- The Lightning Strike Coalition appear in bodies nearly identical to their Dinobot forms (though featuring more vehicular parts), despite this story taking place directly before the events of the game (in which Sludge is seen to have a very different, pre-dinosaur mode).
