"Autobot Base,6:15 P.M"

Smokescreen walks into the main area as Ratchet answers an incoming transmission.

Optimus Prime: "Ratchet!"

Ratchet: Optimus!

Optimus Prime: "We need a groundbridge immediately! There's been a situation!"

Ratchet: I'm on it!

Ratchet walks over to the lever and pulls it down, opening a groundbridge.

Smokescreen: "Here's my chance!"

Smokescreen transforms into his vehicle forms and rides off into the groundbridge as Ratchet looked on.

Ratchet: SMOKESCREEN!

The groundbridge closes shut.

"Utah"

The groundbridge flashes open as Smokescreen exits and transforms before it shuts.

Smokescreen: OPTIMUS? BEE? JAZZ?

"....."

Smokescreen walks forward.

Smokescreen: HELLO? ANYBODY HERE?

Two minutes later, Smokescreen hits his head with a loud metal ding.

Smokescreen: Oww!

Smokescreen backs away while rubbing his head.

Smokescreen: What the heck did I just hit?

Smokescreen reaches out and places his hand against a massive invisible object as the cloaking technology made a rippling effect.

Smokescreen: Huh?

Smokescreen touches the object a second time as it rippled once again.

Smokescreen: That's weird! Must be some kind of....

Suddenly, the cloaking technology wears off, revealing Lockdown's Ship as Smokescreen's eyes widen in shock.

Smokescreen: Ship?

Smokescreen takes a few steps back and looks around before looking back up at Lockdown's Ship.

Smokescreen: I wonder what's onboard!

Smokescreen activates his Phase Shifter and jumps up as he phases through the bottom of the ship. Once onboard, Smokescreen deactivates the device and looks around curiously.

Smokescreen: Alright! Where to first?

Smokescreen walks throughout the ship as he snoops around for anything interesting onboard.

"6:16 P.M"

Lockdown stands over a badly wounded Wheeljack who was rolled onto his back by the bounty hunter's foot.

Lockdown: Time to be one with the Allspark...

Lockdown revs up his Chainsaw and raises his into the air.

Lockdown: Wheeljack!

Suddenly, the sounds of vehicle engines revving up were heard, causing Lockdown to look back as he spotted Bumblebee, Arcee, and Jazz speeding towards him.

Lockdown: Reinforcements, huh?

Jazz transforms and tackles Lockdown down to the ground as he pummeled the bounty hunter's face with his fists, sending sparks flying with each heavy blow. Jazz then cocks his right arm back as he prepared to deliver one final punch with all his might.
