Team three — Barbeque, Spirit, Tomax & Xamot, and Dr. Mindbender — are shocked to realize they're in a post-apocalyptic future. A horde of scouring hovercraft sweep across the ruins of a great Earth city. Within seconds, the team is spotted. Ordered to "present themselves for processing", they quickly fall under attack... only to be saved by the Dreadnoks. On Cybertron, Magnus's strength is running out. Cyclonus reports to Shockwave that both the shield and the Autobot will soon fail.
