Plot

Windblade and her gang fight off against the Terrorcons and manage to cause a lot of damage to their enemies, until Starscream and his new secret police arrive and arrest them for their "crimes".

The group are put in jail, except for Chromia, who escaped, and Windblade who is sent to a torture chamber for an interrogation. Starscream tries to convince the others that Windblade is the bad guy here, as she is an alien who cares nothing for Cybertron, but the jailed guys don't seem to be buying it.

Rattrap's interrogation of Windblade isn't going well, as she isn't admitting to betraying Cybertron, and she accuses Starscream of being responsible for the explosions in the city recently, which shocks him, as he believes it's her. He has her sent to the cell with the others.

Windblade tells Blurr what she just discovered when Chromia bursts into the jail with the rest of Blurr's regular patrons and rescues the jailed guys.

Windblade and Chromia start to race off towards Metroplex to discover who is actually involved in these problems, not knowing that whoever it is has completed the power transfer, and has opened a space bridge....

Notes

• Windblade seems surprized tat Cutthroat can fly in his alternate mode, this could mean that aerial modes are rare on Caminus
• It's revealed here that the people of Caminus do not use ranged weapons (like guns etc) as they find them wasteful, explaining Chromia and Windbblade's axe and sword.
• It's shown here, that despite Starscream being responsible for then mining operation, he wasn't involved in the bombings or power outages, and seemed to believe that Windblade was responsible this whole time!
• The power outages are revealed to be due to Metroplex opening a space bridge inside himself for someone to use.
