When Galvatron chanced across the deserted Ark, he sent a mind bug to probe the dreams of the deactivated Autobots within while he waited in his nearby spaceship. However all did not go according to plan; after the bug caused Prowl, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and Silverbolt to relive their most shameful moments the mental stimulus was enough to wake them from their slumber and they discovered and deactivated the mind bug.
