A runaway train's fusion engine is up for grabs and the Stunticons are in pursuit, so the Bee Team must do all it can to prevent them from getting the cargo. An additional threat arises as the train could potentially crash into Crown City Train Station.

Synopsis

"Hey, don't get sentimental on me. Makes me think I'm gonna die."

"It's called a derailer, for Christ's sake! That's what they do!"

"How the hell did this happen?"
"It just got away from me."
"It got away from you? It's a train, Dewey, not a chipmunk!"

"I only got one rule. One rule only: you're gonna do something, you do it right. You don't know how to do it, you ask me, all right? Likewise, if you need anything from me, you'd better speak up."

—Wildbreak and Drag Strip admire a bullet train.

"Hey, Drag Strip, do you think Motormaster will be mad when we show up without that engine?"

Notes

Transformers references

• Jetstorm is seen riding on Grimlock. Where did he get this idea from?

Real-world references

• Heatseeker refers to the Autobots as "toasters".

Errors

• A big plot point of the episode was Drift's sword being broken. Unfortunately, the animators must've forgot and animated two swords.
• When the Autobots enter the GroundBridge to deploy, the Mini-Cons hang back with Sideswipe for a lengthy moment, but then they exit, they're considerably ahead of Drift.
