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.

Unfortunately, Starscream wants Mister X too. He sees the human's power as a bottomless fountain of energy, giving him enough power to challenge and defeat Scorponok for leadership of the Decepticons. Starscream finds Mister X, Hector Dialonzo, just as Circuit Breaker is making her own pitch to him. She begins tearing his circuitry apart, but is struck down from behind by a mysterious assailant.

Blackrock's team arrives, and the resulting three-way fight between them, Starscream, and Circuit Breaker ends when Dialonzo calls time-out, and says he will listen to each proposal and then decide for himself. Starscream offers revenge against those who wronged him, Circuit Breaker offers adoration of the masses, but Blackrock simply offers the truth—the chance to be branded either hero or traitor by the public, but to ultimately do what is right. 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...
