Total Meltdown

A bio-engineering genius experiments with some of Bumblebee's hydraulic fluid and accidentally transforms himself into Meltdown, whose corrosive touch can melt anything—including Autobots!

Synopsis
Optimus, Prowl, Ratchet and Bulkhead are observing human society by way of television. After seeing cars being refueled and destruction derbys, they find a wrestling show hosted by businessman Prometheus Black as part of his biochemical makeover program (Or as Prime puts it, human upgrades). As a demonstration of the upgrades success, one of his test subjects will be fighting a robot in the ring. To the Autobots shock, the robot is Bumblebee!
