"Synopsis ""Human Factor!""
In the aftermath of the RAAT debacle, G.B. Blackrock has been given carte blanche to assemble a new team to deal with Transformer-related incidents. He has focused on gathering super-humans, people with a unique genetic quirk that gives them powers beyond normal men. His first two recruits, Thunderpunch and Rapture, are given special codenames and costumes to appeal to the public. Their first mission is to hunt down a third potential member, referred to as Mister X, who wiped out the Air Strike Patrol in Louisiana.

Starscream naturally attempts to cheat, but is blasted by Rapture's dream-power and then ultimately brought down by the rest of the team. In the end, Blackrock extends his offer to Josie as well, and she accepts.
Sometime later, Starscream awakens to find himself eyes-to-eye with Shockwave, who has an offer of his own...
