Insecticon Attack



Grapple is Brainwashed by the insecticons.

Synopsis
Optimus Prime and the Autobots are relaxing outside of their headquarters, when Bumblebee mentions he saw some Decepticons the other day in a mountain pass. This news stresses out Beachcomber, who drives off to his special secret place. Meanwhile, Megatron is ranting at his troops. He needs power, and whoever can steal it from the power plant will be promoted to second in command.Beachcomber is chilling out by his secret mountain pond, when he realizes that Grapple is nearby, doing the same thing. Grapple wishes things were peaceful and stuff, but doesn't realize he's being spied on by the Insecticons, who think an architect can surely help them get into the power plant. Bombshell sends Kickback off to tell Megatron about this great news, but as soon as Kickback transforms he's spotted by Beachcomber. Bombshell cerebro-shells Grapple and makes him attack Beachcomber. Beachcomber beats a hasty retreat.The thoroughly freaked-out Beachcomber reports the incident to Optimus Prime, who suspects the Decepticons. Megatron thinks the whole thing is pretty funny, and has the captive Autobot look over the power plant plans. Unfortunately for him, the Autobots come marching up to his front door just then, and attack him in his meeting chambers. The battle scares Bombshell so badly that he forgets all about controlling Grapple, and so Windcharger is able to pull out the cerebro shell with his magnetic powers. Megatron, unaware of this, gloats about his great victory, and summons his slave to his side. But Grapple kicks Megatron's legs out from under him, which makes him fall on top of Skywarp and Starscream. The Autobots have won! They go home, fix Grapple, and celebrate their victory.
