After one of G.H.O.S.T.'s public events gets attacked by Skywarp and Nova Storm, Megatron begins to question whether there will ever be truly peace between humans and Cybertronians. Meanwhile, Twitch and Thrash start to wonder whether they're the only Terrans in the universe.
Tropes:
- An Arm and a Leg: Nearly happens to Optimus when Skywarp attempts to saw his specialized arm off. Later in the episode, Mandroid reveals this was supposed to happen to both Optimus and Megatron, as he'd sent Skywarp and Nova Storm after them specifically to get their modified arms so he could further upgrade himself.
- Control Freak: G.H.O.S.T. keeps a very short leash on Optimus and Megatron for public appearances, down to writing out entire scripts that they're not allowed to deviate from under any circumstances. Megatron's not a fan.Megatron: Will [the script] direct us to sit, stay and transform as well?
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Nova Storm becomes enraged when she sees Megatron cut into Skywarp's wing. Unfortunately for her, her anger leaves her wide open to Optimus' counter-attack.
- Improbable Use of a Weapon: Optimus uses his axe to grab Nova Storm by the neck and then pin her to the ground.
- Teleport Spam: Skywarp uses her teleport to wildly blink around Optimus and disorient him, leading to him being caught off-guard when she suddenly pounces onto his back.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After they fail to bring him Optimus' and Megatron's special arms, Mandroid decides to take Skywarp and Nova Storm apart instead. Luckily for them, he decides they have some use after all after seeing Schloder give out an anonymous tip-line for Decepticon-sightings. As bait.
