At Iacon, Megatron was standing at the control board. He watched the security screen, watching to see if the Autobots were going to try anything stupid. Then Skywarp walked into the room to report.

"Mighty Megatron, we have an informant from the Autobot base."

"Bring him to me."

Skywarp stood aside to let in the traitor.

"Now tell Megatron what you told me."

The traitor walked in. It was Runabout.

Megatron walked up to him.

"What information do you have for me that could be valuable?"

"It's about Shortstop. He's alive."

Skywarp's eyes went big. Then he picked up Runabout by his shoulders and held him against the wall.

"If you're lying..."

"I'm not lying. I saw him with my own optics. He is alive and ready to take you on."

"Set him down, Skywarp."

Skywarp did as he was told and set Runabout down.

"Like I said before, if you're lying then I will personally rip out your servos and hand them to you." Skywarp said as he pointed his arm barrel at Runabout's face.

Meanwhile, Prowl and Shortstop were on their way to Iacon. They each were in their vehicle modes. Prowl finally spoke up to break the silence.

"How long ago did Sarah die?"

"Almost three months ago."

"What happened?"

"Well, in my universe the Decepticons called upon the Lyacons to take me on. I took on the leader after I had defeated the others. As I had him in my sights he fired at me. I dodged the blast and it hit a corner of Autobot City. The wall collapsed on top of Sarah. I wasn't able to save her."

"Sorry to hear that."

"So tell me about the Sarah of this universe."

"Well I don't know much other than what Shortstop told me. All I know is that they shouldn't have been together in the first place. The story that I heard was that they met in school. I never met Sarah so I don't know what she is like. What was your Sarah like?"

"She was the most kind and caring person I had ever met. We got together after I revealed my identity to her. Being an Autobot wasn't the reason we got together. She found me to be quite the gentleman and she liked my personality. The night we were supposed to go on our first date, I had battled a group of Decepticons by myself and I was wounded. I stumbled to her house and she helped me out. We were together for awhile, and then the day after we were married, she was killed."

A tear began to form at the corner of Shortstop's eye. Just then Prowl stopped in his tracks. Shortstop did the same. They transformed into their robot mode.

"What's going on, Prowl?"

"I'm picking up multiple Decepticon signatures. They are all around us."

"Where are they I don't see them."

Just then seven Decepticons de-cloaked right in front of them, aiming their weapons at the two Autobots. Shortstop was surprised.

"They have cloaking devices. You're right you didn't tell me half of what I needed to know."

"You know, Shortstop would have tried fight his way out of this."

"Just be glad I'm not him."

The Decepticons took the Autobots prisoner and took them to Iacon.
