The Autobots silently navigated the desolate labyrinth of Washington's empty streets. Like phantoms, they whisked through the ominous concrete canyons, from one building to the next, under a heavy cloak of secrecy. High above their terrestrial comrades, Optimus Prime donned his jetpack, soaring through the night sky rendering support from the air.

Suddenly, a purple cannon blasted the air, the shockwave slicing through the quiet and revealing the Autobots' location. Plumes of ominous black smoke rose, weaving themselves into the fabric of the night. An adversary had found them. Shockwave, manifesting in his cybertronian tank form, entered the scene.

One by one, the Autobots were lined up, on the cusp of tragic oblivion. "Bee?" Que whispered, his voice trembling, "I think they're going to kill us." The fear in his voice was palpable.
Soundwave, cold and merciless, shoved Que onto the ground. "Wait, we surrender!" Que futilely scrambled away, pleading for mercy.
