It's a dark night above Mount St. Hilary, as Goldbug begins his shift of monitor duty. In the middle of the night, he instinctively senses danger and checks the screens, despite of the lack of alert signals. And indeed, he witnesses a Decepticon force advancing through a forest, towards an oil refinery. But the Autobots, lead by Optimus Prime are already on the way to intercept them. After a brief skirmish, Bumblebee demands that the others follow him in circling the Decepticons in a narrowing parameter, succeeding in forcing Megatron to order a retreat.

Meanwhile, Goldbug frantically tries to establish contact with the other Autobots, but inexplicably remains cut off from all outgoing communications. Shortly thereafter, Optimus Prime alerts his troops to another Decepticon attack, this time on a damaged oil tanker near Alaska.

Arriving at the mission side in a Blackrock transport vehicle, the Autobot Pretenders quickly put a stop to the oil-siphoning already in progress by damaging the hoses used for it. Then, the Autobots grab the hoses before the Decepticons can detach and yank them into the water while Optimus uses his antigrav-beam to create huge waves and offers the Decepticons a chance to surrender. But before that can happen, Darkwing and Dreadwind rescue their drenched comrades by the way of fly-over with dangling ropes to hold on to. Optimus Prime then orders the Autobots not to pursue, but to remain and aid the clean-up of the oil spill.

After a brief moment of admiration, Goldbug goes to check on the systems. Returning without and findings, he then sees a mission briefing in which Optimus Prime points out the distinctiveness of and differences between various Autobots and Decepticons. Then, Goldbug suddenly and finally realizes that there's something odd about the fact that he's seeing Bumblebee talk to Optimus Prime right now. Seeing as that's him and all. He once again checks the panels until he realizes that he accidentally triggered a simulation which mashed up previous recordings into a new mission, which he could have influenced if he'd pushed the right button.

But all is well, as Goldbug is kind of happy about having seen Bumblebee in action and feels proud of his past self.
