A Plague Of Insecticons
Both the Autobots and Decepticons move to investigate the appearance of several new Transformers, the Insecticons. The first battle is between Skyfire and the Insecticons. The Decepticons form an alliance with them, and steal oil from a refinery. The Autobots intervene, but are seriously damaged by the lightning bolts shot at them by one of the Insecticons. They realize that if they transform they are insulated from the electricity with their rubber tires and defeat the Insecticons. The Decepticons and Insecticons end up turning against one another.
