3rd POV (On the Decepticon warship)

The Decepticon warship flies through the cloudy sky. Starscream is about to give out an announcement. Soundwave record this on his face screen.

"I have been a fool, made mistakes. Monumental ones. I now realized that I was never destined to be a leader. Or even an equal partner. And I'm at peace with that. I have gained a clear understanding of my place in this universe. Of who I am, of who I was always meant be be. Starscream; second-in-command, humble several to Lord Megatron. Thank you for listening Soundwave." Starscream thanked.

He walks into the main room.

"Is this true?" Megatron asked.

"Starscream never mentioned it." Airachnid tells Megatron.

"If he's up to his old tricks, I shall grind him into powder." Megatron growled.

Starscream clears his throat, causing Megatron to turn to him.

"Starscream." said Megatron.

Starscream walks towards him and Airachnid.

"Lord Megatron, please excuse Arachnid's impertinence. Now, what was it I a allegedly failed mention?" Starscream asked.

"The Harbinger." Megatron reminded.

"What about it?" Starscream asked.

Airachnid starts typing on the control console.

"Eons ago, a Decepticon transport crash landed on this plant." Airachnid explained.

"Oh please, common knowledge. I scouted the crash site when we first arrived on Earth." Starscream claimed.

"Then I presume you recovered the experimental prototype, the Harbinger has been transporting." Airachnid states.

Starscream gasp at this.

"Where is the crash site?" Megatron asked.

"It was never logged into your ship's database." Airachnid revealed.

"You failed to record the coordinates of a Decepticon transport?!" Megatron asked angrily.

"An oversight, Master. But, I noted it's exact location." Starscream claimed.

"Then you can lead Airachnid there. So that she may retrieve the prototype for me?" Megatron tells him.

He turns his back around.

"My personal native guide, how delightful." Airachnid sneered.

Starscream glares at the Spider Femme. On Earth, the sunrise glistens the cliffs. Arcee is at Cliffjumper's grave.

"Hey, partner. Heck of a view got got up here. If there's even a small chance your Spark is out there listening. Well, we could really use you, Cliff. Seems like everyday another Decepticon arrives on the scene, we're outnumbered and outgunned. Yeah, I know what you'd say; 'Sounds like a fair fight'. And if that's the world we live in, so be it. I just want you to know...I haven't given up. I'm gonna find the 'Con who took you from us." Arcee explained determinedly.

Later at the forest, Starscream hovers over the ground. He transforms into his robot form and lands on his feet. Airachnid flies over and transforms into her robot form, landing on the ground.

"Your chosen vehicle mode lacks...thrust." Starscream tells her.

"Are you going to preen or are you going to guide?" Airachnid asked

"I will reveal the exact location of the Harbinger when you tell me exactly what we're looking for." said Starscream.

"That information is need to know. And right now, you don't." Airachnid retorts.
