In the new Decepticon base in Nebraska, Megatron decides Leader-1 isn't giving him the power he needs, and focuses on getting more Mini-Cons. He decides to pick on Jetstorm, Sonar and Runway, who've been hiding out in South Dakota since the crash. Meanwhile Optimus announces to Rad, Carlos and Alexis that for their own safety they are to stay away from the war, just as Sparkplug picks up a distress signal from Jetstorm's team. Sparkplug moots a rescue plan which is denied by Prime, though he, Jolt and Longarm go ahead with it anyway. However, they run into Starscream, and in the following scuffle the roof collapses. Meanwhile, Megatron has succeeded in converting Jetstorm, Runway and Sonar into the Star Saber.
