After a bad beating by Metroplex, Trypticon is out of commission and hiding with Octane in the "Socialist Democratic Federal Republic of Carbombya" somewhere in Africa, due to the country's oil having properties that makes "super-energon", which empowers the user for a short while. They are under the protection and surveillance of the country's glorious leader Abdul Fakkadi, who despite having found the two useful as a coast guard, is growing tired by their constant drain on the country's oil resources.
To avoid being chased out or worse, the two decepticons agree to steal American gold for Fakkadi, and end up doing so by taking the entire Fort Knox with them back to carbombya, and find out that bribing Fakkadi with famous landmarks is a worthwhile effort. Meanwhile, the Autobots are still trying to find Trypticon's remains, and end up investigating Fort Knox's disappearance.
Eventually, Galvatron, angry at Octane for taking Trypticon without his express permission, and forgives him after finding out about super-energon.
