Power Station Alpha, a mobile power station, is unveiled, and the G.I. Joe team are sent to guard it. The Dreadnoks attack, but the Joes manage to fight them off. Megatron sends Dirge and Bombshell to the power station to take control of it, but Optimus Prime has also dispatched Bumblebee there as well to act as a scout. Bombshell injects young Anthony Duranti with one of his cerebro-shells and instructs him to throw himself under the tracks of the power station, but Bumblebee decides to reveal himself to save Anthony. The Joes direct all their firepower at Bumblebee and blow him apart.
