| - Optimus Prime and his crew are discussing with Professor Sumdac and Catain Fanzone a robbery by a female kickboxing champ called Stella Healy who has become an industrial saboteur for hire called Stiletto. Apparently she has stolen a prototype laser scalpel and an experimental metal alloy. Optimus offers to get the goods back, but Fanzone suggests he leaves it to the police. Nonetheless, soon afterward, a mysterious vandal is attempting to collapse the Ambassador Bridge by slicing through the cables. It turns out to be Stiletto, who is confronted by Prowl. He suggests that she returns the stolen goods, and when she attacks, she passes straight through one of his holograms. However, she then manages to shatter one of his shuriken with a kick. Bumblebee turns up to help, but only manages to blow up a gas tank. Optimus douses the flames, Ratchet tries to repair the broken cables of the bridge, and Bulkhead tries to deal with Stiletto with his wrecking ball - only to have the cable cut with her heels, and the ball land on his head, taking him out temporarily. Bumblebee moves in to take her on hand-to-servo, but she removes his wheels and makes her escape on a bright pink motorcycle that looks just like Arcee's movie toy. However, Ratchet pulls the bike out from under her (without harming Arcee the bike). She attacks Optimus this time, but discovers the only thing her heels can't cut through is his axe. He divests her of her boots and she is soon arrested. While Sari and the Autobots wonder why Stiletto wanted to collapse the bridge in the first place, we are taken to Megatron's head, who muses to himself that the metal alloy and laser scalpel would make a reasonable material for his new swords... and that collapsing the bridge and the damage done to the Autobots was all just a field test.
