In an attempt to find his missing friend, Bumblebee goes on a spy mission into Decepticon territory.
Synopsis
Clobber and Lockdown exchange curiousities at the border, and amazed at Bumblebee's new skills, they quickly remember the rules and Clobber is scolded for letting Bumblebee pass by Lockdown.
As Prime brings in Grapple's latest masterpiece (a statue of Prima), Jetfire bombards him with petty redesign question as he attempts a speech, sending Prime to get more supplies as an excuse for peace and quiet. Bumblebee, meanwhile, is on the Decepticon half of Cybertron on a mission, and upon seeing Sky-Byte recite a poem, claims it as the most disturbing thing he knew before witnessing feeding Insecticons. Passing, he sees Megatron issuing orders out to Astrotrain, who goes to check the border as Megatron walks off.
Helping Rack'N'Ruin with heavy lifting, Optimus once again finds Jetfire asking him questions. Mainly to get him out of his head, Prime has Jetfire make his own independent decisions, but upon finishing, becomes overwhelm by a line of Autobots who prove quick to bombard him with questions.
In Croaton City, Bee finds Windblade to be absent from the Cityspeaker chamber, but instead is cornered by Shadow Striker. She takes Bee to Windblade, and gives him 3 astrocycles to get her out... but shortens it to 2 after his thank you. Bee manages to make it out the door, but is soon caught by Alphastrike, throwing her off by detonating Windblade's stretcher and sending her crashing into Sky-Byte. Bee calls for extraction, but runs into hungry insecticons. He soon gets overwhelm, but luckily Hot Rod notifies Optimus of his absence. Backup soon arrives for Bee in the form of Whirl, and the 2 fly off with Windblade.
Unfortunately, the alarm had been sounded, and the 3 are blocked off. Once the others arrive, Megatron lets them off... but with a warning. Ratchet proves unable to do much help for Windblade, though hope arrives in the form of Chromia.
