Optimus Prime and the Autobots investigate the return of the Decepticons while being forced to account for a group of young humans who have unwittingly become involved in their centuries-old conflict.

Outside of Jasper, a red muscle car was seen driving out in the open road. But, this was no ordinary vehicle. It was a robot in disguise. More specifically, it was Autobot that goes by the name Cliffjumper. As he was driving, he was talking with two other bots.

Cliffjumper: "So there I am on a lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rearview

Cliffjumper: "So there I am on a lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rearview. And then it hits me. I'm illegally parked!"

Somewhere else in Jasper, two other Autobots were driving along, side by side. One was a dark blue motorcycle, with a projection of a human riding on the bike. The other was a blue car, which was called the Urbana 500, with yellow and orange flames.

Arcee: "Another parking ticket?" She asked.

Cliffjumper: "Better. The boot."

Hot Shot: "Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove?"

Cliffjumper: "Bingo! So, the local police do their thing and I let 'em get all the way down the block. That's when I kicked off my new shiny shoe and BANG!"

Arcee: "New York's finest soil themselves."

Cliffjumper: "You know me, you two. Mess with Cliffjumper-."

Hot Shot & Arcee: "And you get the horns." They said at the same time, making Cliffjumper laugh.

Arcee: "I'm not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one: Keep a low profile?"

Cliffjumper: "What can I say? Patrolling for Energon out here in Dullsville gets lonesome. Almost makes me miss the Decepticons." He said.

Hot Shot: "Oh, be careful what you wish for bud."

Arcee: "Like Jasper Nevada's a party? We're alone wherever we travel on this rock, Cliff."

Suddenly, Cliffjumper's GPS beeps as it then transitions into a sonar screen showing a yellow and red mass on the right side of the screen.

Cliffjumper: "I'm getting a signal." He informed the two.

Hot Shot: "Need backup?"

Cliffjumper: "Do I ever need backup, Shots?"

Cliffjumper turns around to where the source of the energy signal is coming from. Cliff stops at the edge of the vast sinkhole containing vast energon crystals.

Cliffjumper: "I just found a whole lot of energon."

Then, a shadow covers Cliffjumper. Cliff transforms from his vehicle mode to his robot mode.
