Synopsis "Plight of the Bumblebee!"

Shockwave intends to capture the Autobot Bumblebee and install a device that will make Bumblebee his slave, allowing him to conquer the Autobots.

At the Ark, Bumblebee is feeling useless after their last battle. He decides to abandon the Autobots, feeling that they would be better off without him.

Flying through the city, Laserbeak soon locates Bumblebee; a whole squad of Decepticons attacks him out of the blue. Damaged, Bumblebee evades them by hiding out in an impound lot and shutting down his systems. The ruse works, and the Decepticons withdraw, waiting for him to reactivate.

Meanwhile, the Autobots have observed news footage of the attack, and mobilize to search for their missing comrade.
Later that night, a couple of joyride-seeking teens, Waldo Dobbs and Ernest, decide that a Volkswagen will make a nice, inconspicuous choice of vehicle to steal. Bumblebee goes along with the theft, actually enjoying the ability to show off his better-than-average driving abilities when the pair is challenged by a hot rod driver. When his damages cause him to sputter out, one of the teens makes some repairs, restoring him to full power, but this soon alerts the Decepticons, who attack again, to the humans' shock.

Bumblebee prepares to make a last stand to defend himself and his new friends. The timely arrival of Jetfire buys him some time, but Jetfire is quickly shot down; Bumblebee cannot help him, as he must save the humans from a collapsing overpass. Surrounded, Bumblebee is saved at the last moment by the arrival of Optimus Prime and a convoy of Autobots, and realizes his true place is with the Autobot team.
