Isaiah 43:18-19:  Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old; Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Few days after the Zombozo fiasco, the bots were checking out the best advertised things Detroit has got to offer. They've checked out TV stores, Pastry stores and even a place for Automobile Accessories which disgusted Ratchet.

"Ugh, it's barbaric, it's primitive!, there oughta be a law against it!" The Grumpy medic bot yelled

"It's... just an auto-supply store, Ratchet." Optimus tried easing but Ratchet kept going on about his pet-peeve of store vehicle materials.

"You mean they actually sell spare parts on the open market, what kind of malfunction would be crazy enough to buy this stuff?"

As if on cue, Bumblebee drove out from one of its garage doors to show the only two bots present his gifts.

"Hey guys, check out my new horn" (the Robots in Disguise chant music was played as the horn honked)

Bee transformed to show his fellow teammates "This place has the greatest stuff, Fuzzy cube thingies, miniature human female replicas and I don't know what this thing is." (Gesturing the car tree scent custom in his right hand before getting smacked behind the head by none other than doc-bot).

"Come on kid, we're going home, there's no point in staring at dissembled auto parts for comfort and pleasure!" Ratchet sternly said. Bumblebee tried calming the stoned cold veteran down: "Whoa! What crawled up your tailpipe?, Night's still young unlike some bots I know."

"I never thought I hear myself say this, but Bumblebee's right, you need to get out more Ratchet." Optimus backed his young yellow friend up.

"Just, got a funny feeling, is all, Old war wounds acting up again, they usually mean trouble" Ratchet explained himself as Optimus tried getting him to talk about some of his war stories.

"You must've seen some pretty serious action, back in the Great Wars"

However, Ratchet refused to talk or go into many details about his rough years, "Yes, I did and no, I still don't wanna talk about it!"

"That's what I'm saying, forget about the past, loosen up, enjoy the bright lights and the big city!" Bumblebee encouraged before the city lights went off and making him slightly rephrase himself, "Okay the Big City!"

Foreign car lights shun on the crew and its host made em jump out the way as it rode through the depths of the city. "Wow, that guy's definitely not winning any safety awards." Bee quipped before Prime ordered him to go over the muscle car, which is a spikey Dodge based model.

Bee drove over the car passing several stores and red stops and he got the mysterious car's attention by firing his stingers. The car turned around and tried making an alternate exit with two pedestrians staring in shock. Prime did he did best by making his axe cut down a Willard's Seafood billboard to the road to ramp the miscreant away.

"Next time, you might wanna look both ways before you cross" The buff red/blue titan advised the citizens who responded in agreement, basically saying, 'Say Less'. Ratchet stared at the car and something about its color scheme and engine pattern was so familiar, yet so traumatic. Next thing we see, the next scene gets flashed back to the time of Pre-Civilized Cybertron where two factions, Autobots and Decepticons were fighting each other to fatal leaking pulps.

"Ratchet!, Field-Tech Ratchet Report, What's your Status!" War Commander demanded as Ratchet was near crumbling buildings getting creamed and wrecked by both sides.
