Bombshell approaches Optimus Prime and prepares to fire the cerebro-shell. Shrapnel watches. Neither notices as the humans stealthily draw nearer.

"Ready," says Shrapnel, "aim ..."

"Look out, Shrapnel!" yells Buster. Startled, the Insecticon turns to look at Buster. At the same moment Sparkplug grabs the electro-disrupter. He aims it at Shrapnel and presses two buttons at once. Shrapnel screams in pain then falls silent. He and the other Insecticon become motionless.

"Are you all right?" Sparkplug asks Optimus Prime.

"That was a close call," says Optimus Prime. "Thank you!"

"No thanks necessary," says Sparkplug. "I think Shrapnel forgot that humans don't have electronic circuits. He didn't realise we were unaffected by the disrupter."

Optimus Prime takes the Sun-Pak and guards it himself. "Autobots, roll out!" he calls. One by one, the Autobots transform and begin to climb out of the canyon. Behind them, the Insecticons stay motionless - and helpless.

"Well, I guess there's some advantage to being human after all," Sparkplug says.

"Yeah, I gotta hand it to you, Sparkplug," Ironhide agrees. "You do pretty well, even without four-wheel drive!"

THE END.
