| abstract | - A used car salesman is broadcasting a commercial and slams his hand on the hood of a yellow car—which happens to be Bumblebee. Realizing he's on camera, Bee shows off while Prowl tries to stop him from drawing so much attention to himself. As they drive off, the Angry Archer attempts to rob the car lot, but is scared into submission by a Superhero named The Wraith. Bumblebee and Prowl return, however, and steal The Wraith's thunder, and expose him as a hack by revealing his mysterious secrets as technology broadcast from a van. The Wraith is humiliated on camera and the Autobots comically discuss the situation. Later, The Wraith tries to stop Colossus Rhodes from escaping from prison, but Rhodes saw the broadcast and dumps The Wraith out of the van. Before The Wraith can be crushed however, he is saved by Bumblebee, who adds insult to injury by also defeating Rhodes. He then takes the attention The Wraith was once getting. The other Autobots arrive and the crowds ignore The Wraith to get the Autobots' autographs. The Autobots quickly replace The Wraith as Detroit's new heroes. No longer are The Wraith's t-shirts and promotions noticed, and the final straw is when The Wraith's Alma Mater, the University of Michigan, snub him to feature a halftime show with Bumblebee (who's now sporting U of M's logo instead of an Autobot symbol), who is becoming even more conceited and attention-seeking than normal. The Wraith seeks revenge by first tricking Bumblebee with a phony emergency and applying wheel clamps, which keep him from transforming. Next, The Wraith stages an attack by Bumblebee at the halftime show using holograms broadcast from the hover-billboard blimps (with his Autobot symbol). The Autobots see the fracas and contact Bumblebee, telling him to stand down, but he assures them he is not responsible, and breaks free of the clamps. Meanwhile, The Wraith projects another hologram of himself defeating the holo-Bumblebee, claiming that his holo-form can damage circuitry. However, the real Bumblebee shows up, disabling the projectors on the blink projector. The Wraith attempts to crash the blimp into Bumblebee, but the other Autobots arrive, backing Bumblebee up and catching The Wraith. The Wraith is demasked and taken away by Captain Fanzone, and Bumblebee expresses pity, saying that all he wanted was a little attention. Ironically, The Wraith is shown to be recieving all the attention he needs, in a straightjacket at a mental institution.
