The Autobots, Dinobots, Constructicons, and Seekers prepare to execute their plans.
Synopsis
"The Saga's Latest" (Part 1)
Ultra Magnus, Prowl, and Optimus Prime discuss the Dinobots' breakaway from the main Autobot faction. They express their concerns for the five accidentally setting off a chain reaction that brings about yet another high-stakes situation. Prime orders Prowl to alert Laser Optimus and have the Earthforce keep an eye on them. Prowl requests to tag along, and is allowed to do so as long as he returns to base if any of the Primes currently out and about show up.
Out in the field, Grimlock's subordinates begin to have second doubts about their plan, which is to hang out in the area of the Decepticon base until the Constructicons get sent on a mission. As if on cue, all of six of them then exit the base.
"The Saga's Latest" (Part 2)
Starscream and four of his Seekers watch the Constructicons leave to carry out their part of the operation. He believes they don't stand a chance against the Terrorcons, even with their ability to form Devastator, but Skywarp and Thundercracker disagree. Starscream orders to them to shut up and get in the air so they can be in position to launch their assault once the Constructicons breach the Primal Basilica.
On the ground, Hook is concerned about their lack of back-up, but the others are used to going on high-stakes missions for Megatron. Luckily, Scrapper is on his side, and has a similarly pessimistic attitude about the whole plan.

Notes
Continuity notes

- At the end of part 2, Scrapper makes a comment about someone else doing the shooting for them, alluding to the arrival and in-game debut of Scorpulator two real-life weeks after this event.
Transformers references

- Hook namedrops CNA.
Errors
- Bonecrusher's last line, "We got the kinda back can weather a whole hunk'a shot at", is missing a "that" between "back" and "can".
