Synopsis
 Spoiler warning: Plot details for The Buzz on Windblade follow. |
Sideswipe was out training, when he spotted a cougar-like Decepticon, named Razorpaw, battling a jet. Once the jet pounded the decepticon to the ground, it transformed to reveal Windblade. Windblade nearly pummeled Sideswipe until she noticed his Autobot insignia. Sideswipe led Windblade back to the Scapyard, where she met the rest of the team. As the rest of the team marveled at Windblade's awesomeness, Strongarm started to get jealous of Windblade's new popularity. Windblade's popularity continued to grind Strongarm's gears which led to the group's cover being blown while they were doing reconissance.
Following a small confrontation with mind controlled pilots, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Windblade, and Strongarm managed to enter the airport, and found a hangar with a Queen Bee-like Decepticon with a lot of human hostages, mind controlled via her toxin. The Decepticon revealed that she had mind controlled humans so that they could fly out and spread the toxin across the world. As the Autobots moved closer, the Decepticon threatened to kill two of her hostages. Windblade promptly and secretly pulled out her sword. Strongarm noticed, and trips her.
Once the Decepticon lets the group head out, Windblade confronts Strongarm about the tripping. Strongarm counterattacks, stating that all human lives were worth saving. Windblade is surprised, but agrees to that rule. Bumblebee and Drift arrive, and Strongarm takes the team farther away to discuss her plans. upon learning of the general description, Bumblebee asks Fixit for a match. Fixit comes up with Zizza She reveals that Zizza needed heat to stay active, and she had a plan for Zizza to "chill out".
As the group begins to set their plans in action, Fixit calls on the comm revealing that there is a plane requesting to land. Bee tells Fixit to hack into the control tower and divert the plane. Meanwhile, the mind controlled pilots began to intercept the plane. Bumblebee asks Windblade to intercept the landing plane first, and Sideswipe tags along to assist. After bending either the wings or the tail of the planes, Fixit manages to hack into the Control Tower, and diverts the plane to another airfield.
Strongarm watches the interception, but then notices Zizza trying to attack herself. Strongarm attempts to intercept, being nearly stung in the process. Windblade passes by, and with a swift combo move with Windblade, Strongarm, and Sideswipe, Zizza is taken down, being knocked into a cold foam truck, where the cold renders her immobile.
Once the Zizza was frozen, Windblade announces that she had to go find more cons. Sideswipe begs her not to go, even asking Bumblebee to ask. But, Windblade still insisted on leaving. Before she left though, she did make amends with Strongarm, admitting that she nearly caused the death of two innocent humans. With that settled, Windblade took off.
As Strongarm walked over to Sideswipe, Sideswipe compliments Strongarm on her plan. Strongarm, believing that Sideswipe had made a snide remark, asked for the remainder of the snide remark. Upon realizing that Sideswipe actually said a compliment to her, she tries to ask if there were any caveats, but to no avail.
