"Autobot Base, 1:10 P.M"

The elevator doors slide open as Agent Fowler walks out and steps up to the balcony where he looks down and finds Elita One monitoring the comm systems and radars.

Agent Fowler: Elita! Where's Prime?

Elita One: He's out on a mission! It'll be a awhile before he's back!

Agent Fowler: Well tell him that there's a report of a dozen unidentified aircraft flying over Jasper, Nevada and heading North!

Elita One: That's where Optimus is heading!

Agent Fowler: I'm guessing those unidentified aircraft are Decepticons!

Elita One: Most likely! The Autobots do have something that'll give them a massive advantage in this war!

Elita taps her earpiece as Agent Fowler folds his arms.

"Nevada"

Optimus Prime with his trailer travels down a busy freeway alongside the Autobots as they transport a chunk of Gold Energon to the designated coordinates set by Ultra Magnus for pick up.

"Optimus!"

Optimus Prime: Yes, Elita?

Elita One: "The Decepticons have discovered the Gold Energon's location and are on the way!"

Optimus Prime: Roger that!

Optimus activates his comm link and reaches out to his team.

"Autobots! We have a situation! The Decepticons have discovered the Gold Energon's location and are on the way! Stand your ground and be prepared for the inevitable!"

A few minutes later, the sounds of sirens are heard as Bumblebee moves his rearview mirror and looks back, finding a Ford Mustang Saleen Police Cruiser hot on his trails.

Bumblebee: Barricade.

Smokescreen looks to his left as a car tossed aside by a fast moving Buffalo MRAP.

Smokescreen: We've got company!

Bonecrusher drives to his right and nears closer to the Optimus's trailer.

Smokescreen: Oh no you don't!

Smokescreen rams into Bonecrusher, causing him to nearly swerve out of control. Bonecrusher retaliates and rams Smokescreen, sending him crashing into Bulkhead.

Bulkhead: Whoa!

Smokescreen: THAT'S IT!

Smokescreen speeds up as he drives in front of the convoy, leaving Bonecrusher behind.

Smokescreen: YOU WANT ME, COME AND GET ME, CON!

Bonecrusher: YOU'VE GOT IT!!!

Bonecrusher speeds off after Smokescreen, leaving Barricade behind with the Autobots.

Barricade: That fool!

Barricade drives off after Smokescreen and Bonecrusher.

Optimus Prime: "Bumblebee! Intercept and neutralize!"

Bumblebee drives off after Smokescreen, Bonecrusher, and Barricade. Down the freeway, Bonecrusher grabs a passing car with his Claw and throws it at Smokescreen as the Autobot swerves out of the way and dodges the incoming vehicle as it exploded.

Smokescreen: Gonna have to try a lot harder than that if you wanna hit me, ugly!

Bonecrusher growls in anger.
