Comic Plot
Optimus and the Autobots are being attacked by the Humans due to the misunderstanding, whilst both are being attacked by Decepticons. Starscream continues to control some humans with his Cerebro Shells.
Tom Banachek meets with the current Vice President and asks him to stop the military action being taken there because the Autobots aren't evil. He agrees and calls for a cease-fire, however the controlled soldier disobeys and continues the fight.
Mikaela and Bumblebee work out that this is what's happening and go to stop him. One of the Decepticon drones chases Bumblebee and Mikaela, but fails to stop them. Bumblebee disables the Cerebro Shell and the soldier goes back to normal. The Autobots surrender to end the fight, with Optimus wondering what's going to happen next.
Elsewhere, the Vice President, Theodore F. Allen is named the new President, and unknown to everyone else, he has a Cerebro Shell on the back of his head.
