After going through the ground bridge. The team arrived in Mexico where the transformers stayed in their vehicle modes and the humans checked into a hotel all taking different rooms and pretending not to know each other.

While the transformers with more questionable alt modes found a cave to hide in that the team would use as a temporary base.

"So what do we do now?" Asked Jack.

"We all lay low for the time being and try to find out how to make this problem go away." Said Agent Folwer.

"How do we do that?" Asked June.

"No clue." Answered Agent Folwer.

Jack decided to go check on Arcee so went outside where he saw Starscream in his jet mode parked next to the hotel. With Shayna, Miko, Raff and Russell all jumping on to him for being to close and risking their cover.

"Starscream what do you think your doing this is a hotel not an airport or military base you look too out of place." Jack told him.

"I know but I don't want to be anywhere near Megatron right now." Starscream explained. "I know he blames me for the world finding out about us he blames me for everything and I don't want to face his wrath right now."

"I'm sure he knows it wasn't your fault Starscream it was Lockdown's." Said Russell who had to yell for the seeker to hear him over a car horn.

"Hey Knock Out do you mind?" Miko yelled to the red Austen Martin who had been honking his horn at Starscream the whole time. "If anything that'll draw even more attention."

"Oh sorry." Said Knock Out still in his vehicle mode which looked better since Ratchet helped him repair himself.

"Cool a fighter jet." Chimed a girl who ran up to get a closer look. And was joined by four boys. Who all looked to be around Jack's age. The group started talking to Jack, Miko, Raff, Shayna and Russell.

"Hi my name is Rad and these are my friends Carlos, Alexis, Fred and Billy." Rad introduced them. "We're here on vacation."

They talked with them for over an hour. Alexis seemed interested in Starscream's jet mode. While the boys were more focused on Knock Out.

Finally they had to go because it was getting late and they were staying somewhere else. And left after saying their goodbyes.

"I thought they'd never leave." Groaned Starscream.

"I think that girl Alexis liked you Screamer maybe in an alternate universe you could have been partners." Said Knock Out. "Or close friends."

"Oh shut up." Huffed Starscream who left deciding to take his chances with Megatron rather then cause an incident. By being to close to the hotel.

Later that night Shayna was on her way back to her room after she had gone to a shop across the street for snacks and a soda. When she saw Jack who had heard something and was going to see what it was.

Then suddenly a man in a black Skye mask run up and put a bag over his head and tied his hands behind his back.

Shayna ran over and took Jack's attacker by surprise while screaming at the top of her lungs. Which got the others attention and June came running out first followed by Miko.

Then Shayna and Jake's Mom started hitting him with their pursues and Miko was jumping up and down swinging her fists. Then Agent Folwer and Denny came running out and Agent Folwer tackled the guy while Denny hit him with a pillow and Shayna shot him a look that said "really."

Then the guy managed to get free from them and was running with all of them behind him even Raff and Russell had joined in the chase. Then the man ran right into Knock Out vehicle mode became he wasn't looking where he was going because he was running from the others.

Now the guy was laying on the pavement in pain with not a bit of dignity left. While June untied Jack's rists and got the bag off his head.

"Why did you try to kidnap my son?" June asked the man with a glare that everyone was glad they weren't on the other end of.

But before she got an answer they all heard the sound of metal on metal and ran to see what was going on but Knock Out stayed to make sure the guy who tried to take Jack didn't go anywhere.

When they got to where the sounds were coming from they saw the Autobots, Megatron, Sound Wave and Starscream fighting two Decepticons who had showed up called Demolisher and Snow Cat who were the newest additions to Steeljaw's pack. They arrived just in time to see them leave.

"That explains why none of the other bots showed up when Shayna was screaming." Said Denny.

Then they explained to their Cybertronian friends what happened while they were all locked in combat.

And the Autobots and three former Cons explained how those two had showed up and they had stopped them but they still got away.

"Sounds like you guys had quite the night." Sideswipe told them.

"I think we could all use a break."  Optimus Prime said to the others "We'll give you guys a lift back to the hotel and Agent Folwer can find out what that guy wanted with Jack."

Meanwhile Knock Out was watching the man they caught and waiting for the others to get back. When suddenly he was hit with something and knocked to the ground.

Knock Out tried to get up but was bound by something sticky that prevented him from moving. It was almost like webs.

Then he saw someone he wished he didn't. Arachnid. She had taken him by surprise. And now he was struggling to get free and started to use his saws but she saw what he was about to do and used more webbing to jam them.

"Knock Out long time no see." Hissed Arachnid. "I see you defected to the Autobots."

"Do you know what those webs do to paint jobs?" Growled Knock Out.

"Your paint is the least of your worries New Mech is going to whip out all the Autobots and Decepticons." Said Arachnid. "Of course excluding Lockdown and myself."

"Your working with them too." Groaned Knock Out. "Do you know what the original Mech did to Breakdown?" "And what this New Mech did to Starscream?"

"Yes I heard about what happened to Starscream." Explained Arachnid "And I never liked Breakdown that's why I offlined him."

"You murderer!" Yelled Knock Out almost in a sob. Then Arachnid moved closer and Knock Out tensed he thought she was going to kill him. And tried to pull away as she grabbed his face and forced him to look at her.

"Don't worry I'm not going to suck you energon and turn you into a terrorcon." Arachnid said in a mocking tone. "Nor am I going to kill you yet." "I'm going to wait and kill you and Arcee after I kill your human pets right in front of you."

"No!" "You stay away from them!" Screamed Knock Out who was angry but at the same time he felt on the verge of a panic attack.

"And then I'll let you experience how I offlined Breakdown first hand by killing you the same way." Arachnid hissed at him. Then she let the man into her helicopter mode and left.

The others arrived just in time to see her go. And knowing who they were dealing with ran over to make sure Knock Out was OK.

And got the webs off him. but he was now shaking and his optics were dull and sparks were coming from his chest.

"Get him medical attention he's having a Spark attack!" Cried Bumblebee.
