Optimus Prime becomes destructive while MECH reveals their master plan.

Synopsis

Agent Fowler drives out of a military base, listening to a few tunes, when a semi truck begins to tailgate him too close for comfort. He realizes that it's more than a case of road rage when the truck rams him. Fowler notices a familiar symbol on his attacker's grille-the Autobot symbol. Optimus Prime continues to attack, and as Fowler comes upon a bridge, he pushes his car through the divider, where it hangs precariously.

Notes

Continuity notes

• MECH has Breakdown's reassembled remains, which they collected after his destruction in "Crossfire".
• Ratchet recalls MECH's study of Breakdown in "Operation: Breakdown" and the theft of Starscream's T-Cog in "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2".
• Silas took a scan of Optimus at the end of "Convoy", which is evidently how he was able to produce a nearly-identical copy of him in this episode.

Transformers references

• Fowler listens to an instrumental version of The Touch on his car radio.
