Years after the events of Predacons Rising, Bumblebee is summoned back to Earth to battle several of Cybertron's most wanted Decepticons that escaped from a crashed prison ship and assembles a team of young Autobots that includes Sideswipe (a rebel "bad boy bot"), Strongarm (an Elite Guard cadet), Grimlock (a bombastic Dinobot), and Fixit (a hyperactive Mini-Con with faulty wiring).
"A runaway train's fusion engine is up for grabs and the Stunticons are in pursuit, so the Bee Team must do all it can to prevent them from getting the cargo."
"The tight confines of the caverns has everyone on edge, so Bee goes on a scouting mission, only to be captured by Steeljaw's Decepticons who also manage to capture the squabbling Sideswipe ..."
"The Bee Team struggles to recover a canister with radioactive fuel rods from Steeljaw and his pack, while Grimlock struggles to learn the difference between work and play."
"Strongarm struggles with the correct way to treat a prisoner while also helping the Bee Team keep Steeljaw and his pack from wreaking havoc at a nuclear power plant."
"Soundwave finally escapes the Shadowzone to set up a Beacon Generator intended to summon Megatron. In the battle, Sideswipe learns to consider the consequences of his actions."
"When Underbite eats part of the Autobots' GroundBridge, can gains the ability to teleport and the Bee Team has to chase him through various locations."
"Optimus returns with old friends and dire warnings of a Cybertronian invasion of Earth, and the Autobots must defend their old home and their new one. Steljaw offers assistance, but can he be trusted?"
