The Autobots encounter a new Convoy, but there's more to him than it seems...
Synopsis
As the Decepticons intensify their theft of solitarium and attacks on the Autobots, the latter army increase their patrols. When an energy signature is detected in North America, Star Saber and Victory Leo are sent to investigate. There, they discover a blue Convoy-looking robot, seemingly injured and left for dead by Sherman Dam. The awakened robot attempts to explain himself as Reverse Convoy, an Autobot from Vehicon. Star Saber cuts the explanation short, noting that his attackers may still be nearby and they'll have time to talk once the new visitor is healed at base. At Autobot Headquarters, Reverse Convoy elaborates that he came to Earth through the Blastizone to alleviate Vehicon's lack of energy. Shocking the Autobots, Reverse Convoy explains he was informed of Earth's great share of energy by a robot named Megatron, who ended up shooting him in the back after they crossed the Blastizone.
Reverse Convoy brings Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, Victory Leo, and Mirage are brought to where the Vehiconian was discover. Seeing the dam, Optimus Prime thinks back to his confrontation with Megatron there all those years ago. When the Autobots are too busy gawking at the dam, they're attacked by the Decepticons in an ambush. Their backs pinned to the dam, they're unable to avoid gunfire, as any errant shots would burst the dam, as Starscream mockingly brings up. With the four Autobots bound to the dam, Reverse Convoy coldly stares from behind a rock hiding his presence.
At Autobot base, Star Saber sets out to mobilize the troops to save their comrades, but Lio Convoy calls for pause and caution. Something suspicious is going on, he thinks.
At the dam, the captive Autobots hear a menacing, evil laughter, that's all to familiar to Optimus Prime...
