The Decepticons discover a new power source in a crevasse in the Earth. They determine the fissure is filled with corlonium crystals, which make anything electronic that they touch go ka-boom unless insulated. They locate a temporary operations base nearby, and Megatron hatches a plan that he hopes will lead the Autobots into the crevasse and certain death. Both Primes are put through tests—sharpshooting and a race—to determine which is the real one. The results are rather inconclusive. That’s what you get for letting Spike be in charge.
