Quickly Optimus Prime goes back to the bottom of the tunnel. He returns a few minutes later with Ironhide, whoi s out cold.

Ratchet works on Ironhide with a portable emergency generator. Before long, the old Autobot comes to and transforms to his robot form. Weakly, he tells his friends what has happened.

"The Insecticons have the Sun-Pak!" says Mirage. "Let's track those beady-eyed bugs now!"

"We're too low on power," says Ratchet. "We must return to headquarters first to refuel."
