Synopsis
A Mini-Con pod containing Inferno, Comettor, and the Street Speed Team crashes into Alaska. Meanwhile, Scavenger and Smokescreen are stationed in Death Valley, watching a group of Decepticons preparing a large shuttle for launch. At Autobase, Red Alert and Optimus Prime receive the alert. Prime tells him to assemble all personnel to strike at Death Valley, but Sparkplug intervenes: there are twenty Mini-Cons who aren't sure they should be here, and he doesn't want Prime to give them a reason to walk. Prime agrees, and tells the Mini-Cons that they have the full resources of Autobase to rescue their comrades. At the Decepticon base at Silver Ridge, Megatron has powerlinked to all three members of the Destruction Team. While they are giving him massive amounts of power, they also send painful feedback into his system. Dualor explains that it's a little failsafe he thought to install in their systems a few years ago, and that in exchange for their full power, he wants a say in how things are run. Megatron begrudgingly agrees, and asks Cyclonus to do a test run. In Alaska, the Adventure Team is preparing to extract the escape pod, when Thrust sneaks up and attempts to capture them, along with the pod. He is soon interrupted by Cyclonus, who is ecstatic about the power that the Destruction Team has bestowed upon him. Thrust is eager to get back to extracting the Mini-Cons, but Cyclonus starts attacking him. Back in Death Valley, Laserbeak arrives and tells Scavenger and Smokescreen that Optimus Prime is otherwise tied up, and to take whatever measures they feel are appropriate. Smokescreen grumbles that it would have been useful information twenty minutes ago, when the shuttle launched. In the Decepticon base, Megatron gloats about the orbital laser that has just been deployed, and prepares to fire it at Alaska...
