"PRIME!? PRIME!" Agent Fowler yelled through the call. It had been a peaceful day at the Autobot Base until an angry Agent Fowler called in. Heidi and the other kids stood on a platform high above the console, watching as Ratchet dealt with the angry Agent Fowler. Finally, Optimus joined the group with Arcee close behind.

"Special Agent Fowler, to what do we owe-"

"What else?! Cons! I chased them off with some hard ordnance but not before they BLEW ME OUT OF THE SKY!" Agent Fowler explained.

"Again?" Miko said, snickering as the boys gave her a knowing look. Heidi groaned as she leaned on the yellow railings. The conversation continued as Agent Fowler continued his rant about what had happened.

"They tried to smash and grab for the D.I.N.G.U.S." Agent Fowler explained.

"Huh?" Jack said, confused. What the heck was he talking about? All the kids turned to Heidi, hoping for an explanation. However, Heidi just shrugged, just as confused as they were. Heidi was pretty sure she would've remembered something named D.I.N.G.U.S.

"The what's-it?" Arcee said, just as confused as the others. Agent Fowler noticed this, calming down a little bit as he explained.

"Dynamic Nuclear Generation System. A.k.a. D.I.N.G.U.S." Agent Fowler then pressed a button beyond the camera's view. The screen then changed to show a photo of a large crate as Agent Fowler explained.

"It's a prototype energy source I'm porting to the coast for testing." Agent Fowler explained. Agent Fowler's screen switched back to him as Heidi hummed, intrigued by such a thing. Why would the Decepticons want something like that? Ratchet, however, was less intrigued as he scoffed.

"That's absurd. Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?"

"I'm guessing to make a big fat 'primitive' weapon of mass destruction! If this baby were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door." Agent Fowler explained. Heidi was surprised by this, gulping down nervously.

"Uh, did Agent Fowler say which state he was currently in?" Raf asked, nervously. Heidi took his shoulder reassuringly as the kids turned back to the screen.

"I'm a sitting duck here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and send the D.I.N.G.U.S. to its destination before the cons come back for it." Agent Fowler said. Heidi immediately shook her head, knowing it was a bad idea. Sending such a weapon through a groundbridge was way too risky!

"Oh, no. Nope. Bad idea."

"I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through a groundbridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during its transmission, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the groundbridge vortex and harm all fifty states. And beyond." Optimus explained. Agent Fowler paused, looking down for a moment with a sigh.

"You got any better ideas?" Agent Fowler asked. Optimus paused, thinking it over before seemingly getting an idea. Heidi watched curiously as Optimus explained his idea to Agent Fowler. After hearing it, a smile came on her face as she and the kids began making their way down from the platform above.

It was a beautiful day in the mountains around where Agent Fowler's jet crashed. Optimus, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper sat in their vehicle forms. Optimus had a large trailer attached to him while Agent Fowler sat inside Optimus's vehicle form. Inside, along with a little extra protection, was the D.I.N.G.U.S. It was ready to be transported.
