- Megatron continues to try and persuade Dr Sumdac to rebuild his body. A key component is Destronium, but given its instability, the nearest source would need to be transported quickly. Using a thief and an experimental speed-suit from Sumdac's facilities, Megatron may get what he needs, unless the Autobots can stop the speedy thief.—Michael Howe
- A human thief is running on the wharf and tries to climb into a yellow car to make a getaway, but that car turns out to be Bumblebee, parked to watch fireworks. With the help of Optimus Prime (after well-intentioned non-help from Bulkhead), the thief, Nino Sexton, is arrested. He is later bailed out by an unknown party, and a robot meets him outside the prison with a gift: a speed suit Sumdac was developing. Sexton uses it to steal indiscriminately, picking up the nickname Nanosec from a bystander. Bumblebee tries to catch him again, and when he can't, he enlists Sari and her key to install turbo boosters. Meanwhile, Nanosec is contacted by Megatron, who asks him to pick up a sample of destronuim from a lab on the edge of town and bring it to him in Sumdac tower within ten minutes, the maximum amount of time it would remain stable. Nanosec takes the job and steals the destronium without trouble, but he is hampered in his delivery by the Autobots. Bumblebee, unable to control his new turbo boosters, interferes and lets Nanosec get away twice. Finally, they realize that Nanosec is aging rapidly as he uses the suit, so Bumblebee gets the destronium away from him and leads him on a high-speed chase until he is too old to continue and is arrested again. By this point, the destronium is ready to explode, and with the help of Prowl, Bulkhead, and the turbo boosters, Bumblebee takes the canister into space where it can explode without hurting anyone.
Niño Sexton is a two-bit thief who is apprehended by the Autobots, and put in jail.
Meanwhile, Megatron continues to try and persuade Dr Sumdac to rebuild his body. A key component to the construction, is a substance called Destronium. Sumdac does have a concentrated dose of Destronium, but moving it would be difficult, because of its unstable nature. When Megatron overhears of an experimental speed-suit Sumdac has been working on, he hatches a plan.
Using the Doctor's technology, Megatron has Sexton released from prison, and has a Sumdac robot give the criminal the speed-suit. After out-running the Police and the Autobots (much to Bumblebee's ire), Megatron communicates to Sexton with a deal: bring him the unstable Destronium in under 10 minutes, and the criminal will get access to Sumdac's Davis account.
Sari attempts to attach some turbo boosters to Bumblebee with the Allspark-Key, but the plan ends up backfiring, when ey find they can't shut off the boosters.
