IDW - Robots in Disguise #9

Staff
Plot
Bumblebee is sitting on top of Turmoil's ship whilst Wheeljack is investigating it when aheavily injured Sky Lynx crashes nearby, and he just manages to murmur that he's lost the others.
In the wastes, Ironhide watches as Slag and Swoop start fighting, he decides to try and sneak off whilst they're distracted, but he's attacked by Sludge, slowly all four Dinobots start fighting each other, and Ironhide runs off, and picks up a recording from Silverbolt, essentially reporting the same problem with his own team.
In Wheeljack's lab in Iacon Bumblebee and Wheeljack discuss what is happening and what the options are, and wonder why it's not happening in the city itself. Metalhawk and Starscream walk into the lab to ask what's happening. Bumblebee says they have a team ready to go in the morning, since it seems safer during the day to travel outside the city. Starscream continues to badger Bumblebee about opening up free-elections.
In the Wilds, Ironhide is seeing parallels between his situation with the Dinobots and what happened to Silverbolt and his team in the recording, just as the Dinobots start to gang up on Ironhide and chase him as a team.
In Iacon, Bumblebee visits Blurr at his bar, and they discuss the old days, and Bumblebee to help out Ironhide. Blurr asks what he needs him to do. Outside Ravage and the Reflector Trio are following Bumblebee on Shockwave's orders, and the four of them proceed with their mission, unaware that Arcee has been aiming at them with her sniper rifle, pretending to shoot them.
Ironhide fights off his team, but manages to break free and legs it. Back at Turmoil's ship, Wheeljack is looking over the systems again, so he can keep his mind off Ironhide and the Dinobots, when suddenly the ship disappears with no warning.
In the Wilds again, Ironhide makes contact with Silverbolt at last, but is still being chased by the Dinobots, but is picked up by a giant robot, a gestalt form of the Aerialbots, The Superion, who declares that the DInobots have to answer to him now.
Back in Iacon, Prowl and his team are investigating the disappearance of Turmoil's ship, and no-one has a clue what's happened to it....

Notes
  • Wheeljack has a patch over his chest where Turmoil shot him
  • Ironhide clearly doesn't know anatomy, as he's shocked Sludge is still alive, even though it was just his beast mode head that was sliced off
  • Hey look! Ravage made words come out of him!
  • Arcee seems to be getting a bit of an itchy trigger finger....
  • How did the Aerialbots combine? I'm sure that'll be revealed before long :)
  • Blurr still feels guilty for saving Zeta Prime when he was first recruited, as it was because of him that the war erupted originally, as shown in Autocracy
  • Starscream mis-names the Dinobots as the Monsterbots
