He had scanned a helicopter as his vehicle mode, and this gave the Autobots an edge in battle. Optimus was glad to have his best friend back, though Ultra Magnus was less then thrilled. The navy blue mech's methods, in Ultra Magnus' optics, were too unorthodox. As was his relationship with Arcee. The second in command was pursuing a femme, which was against protocol. He had to do something, but what? He couldn't find a fault in Optimus' lieutenant, so he needed one in Arcee or one in their relationship. He figured if he could catch them doing something against Autobot protocols, they would not be allowed to pursue them anymore. Dragonis and Arcee would be demoted, and Magnus decided he would take their places. But how?
