Owner's Description

Synopsis: Issue #3

Aboard the Autobot starship Ark-19, located at the bottom of Lake Michigan, Prowl gives Ratchet a thorough dressing-down for disobeying his orders and breaking cover, then tells him to find out just what's on Verity Carlo's stolen palmtop and to get rid of the humans, refusing Ratchet's suggestion that Prowl alert Optimus Prime. Ratchet reminds them that regardless of whether or not the Decepticons are acting under orders or have gone rogue, it's only a matter of time before Megatron arrives. Fortunately, his pleas do not fall on deaf audio sensors, as Ironhide listens intently.

Ratchet appears to Verity, Hunter O'Nion, and Jimmy Pink in their containment cell and persuades Verity to hand the palmtop over. He shows them the mysterious businessman's photos and explains that they show a Decepticon Command Bunker, mysteriously abandoned (which Decepticons never do) and apparently in Siege Mode much too early for standard Decepticon procedure. While this is going on, Ironhide finishes sending a pulsewave to Autobot command, for Optimus Prime's optics only.

In the meantime, a police officer is investigating the dead body found on an Arizona reservation, tracking him to a caravan park—just as a pair of war-planes, one black, one purple, appear out of thin air and destroy the dead man's caravan before promptly disappearing again. Later, an Abrams battle tank destroys the remains of Jimmy Pink's garage, then transforms into the purple plane and along with the black one disappears yet again. Finally, the coach which Verity and the dead man traveled on is destroyed.

Verity, Hunter and Jimmy insist that Ratchet take them to the Decepticon bunker in Nebraska so that they can locate the proof Ratchet needs to persuade Prowl of the severity of the situation. Partially swayed, Ratchet makes his mind up when Bumblebee offers to help out. The three humans and two Autobots make their way to Nebraska—just as the Decepticon lieutenant Starscream orders Skywarp and Blitzwing to destroy the bunker...
