Synopsis
Part 1
Blaster takes 3D echo-sounding scans of the Cyber-City fragment's layout, but receives incomprehensible data. Inferno comments that it makes sense, as the city is ever-changing, but Blaster responds that that's not the problem. Dile asks if he knows where they are, to which he answers that he knows where everyone is. He and Peacemaker explain that there's more to it, which further confuses their compatriots. Blaster elaborates that the data his scans are giving him show nothing but a void within the space station, which doesn't make sense. Furthermore, it appears to be hidden by the artificial intelligence program that's controlling everything. Inferno suggests they investigate, a plan Blaster agrees with. While he and Dile go off to learn more about this, Blaster and Peacemaker begin to head towards the AI hub to stop the madness. Before they can get there, however, they are stopped by Skids and Gears, who are under the program's thrall!
Part 2
Elsewhere in the space station, Knock Out and Crankcase ponder the absence of Skids and Gears. Armada Megatron and Laser Optimus agree that they aren't alone in Cyber-City, and that whatever's controlling everything is also busy dealing with other intruders. Heartburn and Deluge suggest that they take the opportunity to stop them, to which Megatron agrees. However, their main priority remains fending off Hoist, Beachcomber, and Brawn, all of whom are under the city AI's control. Acid Storm coldly declares that he'll gladly dispose of them, but Megatron stops him, as engaging their friends-turned-enemies may fully awaken the program. Wheeljack proposes that he plug into the system and strike it from within, with Megatron warning him that if he betrays them, he will immediately kill him. He then uplinks to the AI and sees everything.

Gameplay
There was a bug with this event that caused it to be much faster than originally intended: it was broken up in 10 prestiges, with each new one being unlocked after every 50 points and prizes being unlocked every 5. Every battle zone was meant to reward 10 points, but instead, they rewarded the varying amounts of points that they did in standard events, allowing players to unlock multiple prestiges with one battle using a high-power squad.
