While the Decepticons are out looking for the Nemesis, the sun's direct energy leads to the reawakening of an Autobot(Optimus Prime), who reactivates another one(Elita-1). And the rest follow. Meanwhile, the five humans part ways. Joseph travels to South Korea to practice Hangul, and whatever else is worth doing there. Cywark and Pekk Cegoi go to this car wash operated by their family(s). And Nayeli and Kaitlyn Wilson fly to New York. Little do they realize that this stuff will come back to haunt them.

In an unknown area, the Seekers are flying in their tetrajet forms only to discover some parked fighter jets. They are at a base. They transform and land near them, then they begin studying the jets.

Skywarp: *gets an idea* Commander Starscream.

Starscream: What is it, Skywarp?

Skywarp: I just got an idea.

Dirge: This better be useful.

Skywarp: It is. Just watch and learn.

The Seekers see him start to make some static electricity(pink in color) course through him, along with some energy seemingly floating upwards from him(reminiscent of Overhaul becoming Leobreaker in Transformers Cybertron). He scans a parked jet, then, something happens to his body. The electric charge and certain energies have disappeared, and his body is the same as before, but with some differences.

Thundercracker: What was that for, Skywarp?!

Skywarp: Forget our Cybertronian forms. This planet's inhabitants are currently advanced enough to pilot vehicles. Maybe we could use their jets as new vehicle modes to blend in and launch surprise attacks. And when they realize what's going on, it'll already be too late.

The other Seekers think about it, and learn that Skywarp has a point. They follow his lead and scan the other jets, acquiring their new vehicle modes much like Skywarp. Having acquired their new modes, they transform and fly off, but not before finding more information from the base's computers, thanks to RB-392.

Thrust: Not bad. I could actually get used to this.

Slipstream: Let's hope Megatron finds this idea useful.

Meanwhile, the remaining machines in the ship, known as the Autobots, are contemplating things. Yet another scene is crafted without dialogue at first, though Elita-1, after some time, breaks the silence.

Elita-1(Lindsay Rousseau): How long have we been inactive for?

Ratchet(Corey Feldman): I won't know until I get Teletran-1 online again.

Wheeljack(Bill Rogers): Perhaps we can help, being engineers and repair technicians.

Ratchet: And being members of the Wreckers. How do I know you won't destroy it?

B-127(???): Because I'll be joining in, having been a repair agent before I joined the Autobots to become a scout and scavenger.

Ratchet: Okay...

They start repairing Teletran-1(I'm thinking Ellen McClain), and get the machine working again.

Teletran-1: What happened? How long has it been?

Arcee(Sumalee Montano): It's good to see you again, Elita-1. See if you can calculate how long it's been.

Cog(Brian Robert Burns): I must also point out that this planet is not Cybertron.

Teletran-1: One moment. Calculating...

After a moment, Teletran-1 finishes.

Teletran-1: All done. By my calculations, it's been 800,000 of this planet's stellar cycles.

She then compares it to the timing on Cybertron.

Optimus Prime(Peter Cullen): As such, it would seem that this planet might have something the Decepticons are looking for.

Red Alert(J.B. LeBlanc): How do you know?

Optimus: Do you recall the times in the war that the Decepticons made plans to scavenge parts of Cybertron and other worlds for materials they could make use of for their cause?

Ratchet: Wasn't the Allspark the only one they were searching for?

Mirage(Shawn Hawkins?): I've actually eavesdropped on conversations regarding those plans. The Allspark wasn't the only one, but it was the most important.

Optimus: And I feel this planet is rich in resources, which the Decepticons must know as well.

Jetfire(Keith Silverstein): We should act now while we still can.

Teletran-1: Might I come in? I've looked into some information on this planet, and its indigenous inhabitants for the most part are advanced civilizations. About 7-8 billion of them walk this planet.

Optimus: And as I can guess, none of them are aware of us or the Decepticons, or even our war. We shouldn't risk putting the lives of those inhabitants at risk. The Decepticons won't hesitate to get rid of this planet's inhabitants, and we cannot allow that to happen.

Teletran-1: I've also just discovered some of the inhabitants might've been in the arc, and might've left some of it open, which could explain us being active again.

Ratchet: The energy from this galaxy's star must've been let in and...

Prowl(Patrick Warburton): Reactivated both sides.

Optimus: Those few inhabitants would likely be the first ones the Decepticons would kill.

Red Alert: We'll need to get to them first. But should we scan new vehicle modes?

Teletran-1: My holograms system is still down, so I can't provide any.

Elita-1: We'll have to scatter then.

Ratchet: I'll need to rework the space bridge first.

He turns it on, and it works fine.

Ratchet: Whadayaknow?

Chromia(Georgia Reed?): How do we know where to go?

Teletran-1: I'll scan the planet with help from some of the satellites they have in the atmosphere.

Cog: Are we gonna have time? Those few people are in danger.

Optimus: Even so, the Decepticons could likely be looking for their own ship, the Nemesis.

Ratchet: Teletran-1 and I will work on the space bridge. We'll be quick.

Teletran-1: I could also gain some more information on the native inhabitants and their history, as well as the several locations. With said locations in mind, we could rework the space bridge to take you anywhere on this planet.

Cog: Okay...

With this settled, Ratchet begins modifying the space bridge to serve as a ground bridge, seeing that the Decepticons also took a lot of energon with them when they left the ship, known as the Ark.
