Synopsis: Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earth Works"
Spike Witwicky is sitting in a Skywatch gunship with Corporal Joe Henderson after being pulled from a flood channel after his near-death encounter with the Stunticons. Spike voices his frustration with how long it took for them to finally come and get him, to which Joe basically says that Spike did not need any help to get out of the channel in the first place.
The pilot turns to Joe and Spike and says that a call came in regarding a situation located about 20 miles northwest of their current position. Spike orders the pilot to take them there and Joe remarks that he can see it. Corporal Henderson immediately recognizes the giant robot as one of those gestalts and that he hasn't seen one of those since the incident in New York. Spike asks the pilot what kind of weapons they have on board, but is told that there is nothing on board capable of even barely scratching the paint. Campolongo makes a remark about how these things are just not going to stop trying to kill each other, to which Spike tells the pilot to get them back to base immediately.
Back at Skywatch base, Spike Witwicky decides to talk to Optimus Prime one last time. He confronts Prime by saying that Prime turned himself in because his friend was killed. Prime says that he turned himself in because he realized that there had to be a change, and that it wouldn't have happened if he had told his comrades what he was doing. Spike asks if it was the death of his friend that set him in motion; Prime affirms, to which Spike starts pouring out his heart saying how Ironhide's death was all his fault because he wasn't present on the base the day of the raid. Optimus asks Spike about his sudden release of honesty, to which Spike replies by saying that he is a good soldier and that he's still trying to figure out just what it means to be a leader.
Spike offers Optimus Prime a way to redeem himself. Prime balks at the offer at first, but Spike manages to convince him that if he doesn't, innocent people will most assuredly get hurt. Spike disables the cage surrounding Prime and allows him to walk outside. The other Skywatch personnel are shocked to see what their commanding officer is doing since the General will be at the base in a few hours. Spike tells his men that the only chance they have at stopping Menasor rests within Prime and that he doesn't want another incident like the one back in New York to occur again. Joe tells Spike that he can't let him do that, because Spike doesn't know how to fly.
Red Alert then turns to Bumblebee who says that they stay, an idea that Red Alert doesn't seem to be too fond of. Bumblebee realizes that Prime was right and that living like a band of fugitives is no way for an Autobot. Spike walks over to Bumblebee and tells him that Skywatch will help treat some of the wounded Autobots. He tells Bumblebee that he's seen enough to be convinced that the Autobots are not the problem, and that he's willing to allow them to stay on Earth. Spike says that they can keep chiseling away at each other, or they can work together to eliminate common threats. Bumblebee is leery at such a proposal, but Spike assures Bumblebee that he's on the level, given that they are currently helping the injured Autobots.
Ultra Magnus, furious, suddenly emerges from the Autobot cave demanding to know where Swindle is. Spike tells him that he got away, along with a few of the Constructicons. Magnus seemingly gets distraught at the fact that Swindle has eluded justice once again and asks Bumblebee if anyone tried to pursue him. Bumblebee starts to answer, but Magnus suddenly notices Rodimus and begins to tell him that he is under arrest for willful collusion with the enemy. Rodimus attempts to justify his actions, but Silverstreak is fed up with him. Bumblebee intercedes between Magnus and Rodimus, telling Magnus to back off. Magnus, not one to be ordered around, attempts to supplant Bumblebee's authority. Bumblebee snaps, and he tells Magnus that they've felt lost and scared ever since Megatron stole the Matrix of Leadership. He also says that he's in charge until the Matrix is recovered and it chooses someone else. Hot Rod overhears this, as he sneaks off and steals Ultra Magnus's shuttle. Silverstreak remarks about how cowardly Hot Rod is for doing so. However, Silverstreak states that he's glad that Bumblebee is still around, as it seems that he's the only leader that they have left.
