The Story<\/h2>\n

Due to the bravery of Gears and Spider-Man in infiltrating the Decepticon stronghold, Sparkplug has been rescued. But alas for the Autobots, not before he was coerced into adapting gasoline for their use. In the clamor surrounding this revelation, Sparkplug tries to sneak himself and Buster out of the Ark. When he’s spotted, Jazz tries to stop him with a flamethrower, triggering a heart attack in the aging mechanic. As Ratchet, transformed into an ambulance, races the two humans to the hospital, the Autobotsmake preparations for what they’re sure will be a mass-assault by the Decepticons. But does the fate of the planet truly rest in the Autobots’ hands? During the Korean war, Sparkplug was captured by the enemy, and learned a thing or two about sabotaging an enemy from within.<\/p>\n
