Wheeljack, but also Knock Out!
Contents |
Optimus Prime is exploring a scrap-metal facility in Zhejiang Province, China, but as his communications with Ratchet break up, he becomes clued in to the fact he's walked into a trap. Knock Out activates the neuron refractor, zapping Optimus. In moments, the Autobot leader's consciousness is transplanted into a nearby human!
Back at base, Ratchet registers the fact that Optimus's signal has gone flatline. Bulkhead and Arcee are ready to go, but the closest Ratchet can put them to the site with the Ground Bridge is ten kilometers to the south.
Back at the site, Knock Out gloats over his victory and instructs some nearby Vehicons to dump Optimus's former body into the crusher. Though unable to operate the human body he's now in, Optimus focuses his mind and contacts the body's real owner, Lin-Che, who has been driven half-crazed and assumes the giant talking robot is a figment of his imagination. Optimus shares his knowledge with the man, who realizes it's all real. Lin-Che is soon up and running, heading for The Claw, a piece of giant scrap-yard machinery.
As the Vehicons load Optimus's robot form onto the crusher conveyor belt, Bulkhead and Arcee finally arrive and start bashing Decepticons. Lin-Che, with Optimus's guidance, uses The Claw to finish off the jet Vehicons attacking him. As Lin-Che heads for the neuron refractor, he sees that Bulkhead and Arcee have been overcome by the Vehicons, and Optimus's body is about to move into the crusher. As Lin-Che operates the refractor, he and Optimus realize there's no way for the human to operate the machine and lie on the bench at the same time, so despite Optimus's protests, Lin-Che throws himself over the side of the machine and into the main beam.
Knock Out listens to the sounds the crusher makes as it snacks on Optimus, but then Optimus punches his way through the top of the machine and socks Knock Out. After the Decepticons have fled, Optimus and the Autobots return Lin-Che home, where he is reunited with his family.

"What about the human mind that was already in here?"
"Who cares?!"
"All too easy. Who needs Megatron when you've got brains like mine running the show?"
"Knock Out, you have something on your chin."
"Huh?"
"My fist!"
"Hey, Megatron, what do you call a dinosaur mechanic?"
"Dare I ask, foolish Autobot?"
"Jurassic sparks!"
"Raximus Prime, eh? Pah, I could crush him with one pinky toe if I wanted. NEXT!!!"
"He looks like a moron. As usual. Next time there better be more terror! I demand more terror!!!"
Patient: Doctor, doctor, I feel terrible.
Dr. Ratchet: What are the symptoms!
Patient: It's a cartoon show with yellow people.
