Synopsis "Funeral For A Friend!"

Ratchet's attempts to repair Optimus Prime are unsuccessful, and the Autobots arrange for a Cybertronian funeral service. Ratchet chooses to stay behind rather than face another of his failures, and decides to be proactive about repairing those Autobots still non-functional within the Ark by looking for spare parts in a used auto parts junkyard.

While there in ambulance mode, he is stolen by the head of a stolen car ring who calls himself "the Mechanic". Forced to aid the Mechanic lest he blow his cover, Ratchet is pursued by local police authorities, and in an effort to evade them, he uses some of his Autobot weaponry (namely, a cryogenic sprayer and a laser scalpel) on the pursing vehicles. The Mechanic sees the power of these weapons, and steals them for himself. When Ratchet attempts to retrieve his weapons, the Mechanic uses the cryogenic sprayer on Ratchet, freezing him solid.

When Ratchet thaws out, he returns to the Ark, only to be followed by the Mechanic and his assistant, Juan, who hope to follow Ratchet to the source of more Cybertronian weaponry. Before Ratchet realizes that he has led the humans right to the Ark, the Mechanic has stolen a remote-controlled power booster rod, in addition to Ratchet's weapons.

Using these devices, the Mechanic injures Ratchet and reactivates the Ark's automatic defenses so that the Autobots are prevented from offering assistance when they return from Optimus Prime's funeral. Although Ratchet is able to frighten the Mechanic away by partially repairing the Autobot Prowl (whose police car alternate mode is the thing the Mechanic fears most), the Mechanic escapes with the weaponry he has already stolen.
