The confrontation between Autobots, Combaticons and Predacons boils over.

Synopsis

At the Chinese-North Korean border, Optimus attempts to convince the Predacons to step down, while Prowl surreptiously reports to Bumblebee. The Predacons agree to leave, until Onslaught shoots Rampage in the back, spurring the Predacons into a full-out brawl with the Autobots.

Back at base, Bumblebee, Pennington and Silverstreak watch on, unsure of what to do. Before they can lend aid, Sandra unilaterally decides to break the encryption on the video feed, broadcasting the Cybertronians' battle to the public. In response, the Russian government announces that has launched a nuclear missile at the battle.

Pennington radios the news to Spike, who attempts to get both sides to stop in light of the threat. Rampage intially disbelieves it, but Onslaught confirms on information from Pyongyang. With Thundercracker already gone, the Autobots are forced to rely on Cosmos to divert the nuclear missile.

Back at the battle site, the Predacons have left, leaving the Combaticons in Autobot hands. Optimus explains that Thundercracker left to destroy the energon plants in Dandong and Pyongyang, effectively cutting off the ability of China and North Korea to provide resources for (and command the loyalty of) any Cybertronians. Thus ends the immediate threat, leaving the new question of how to handle the problem of the Autobot's secret being blown open.

A week later, with the Autobot-U.S. military alliance on shaky ground, Bumblebee makes the decision to go public and confront the media himself, calling on Autobot and human alike to have the courage to work together. His speech seems on the verge of convincing the rioting protestors, when a protestor pulls an energy weapon and blasts Bumblebee, leaving him on the ground, optics black...
