| abstract | - A scream of joy is misjudged as Bumblebee prepares for danger, only to realize that Sari was merely showing joy as she hoarded a 'zine. As things presumably calm down, Sari begins to explain the concept of heroes and heroism as 'Bee tries to preach his heroics and asking what the big deal about "Surging" was. After he was corrected and given an indepth explanation to her hero's background, he began to sink into memories of an old friend whom was thought to have been lost to 'cons. While Sari and 'Bee retreat to catch up with the rest of the autobots, a teen exits an abandoned nook, placing sunglasses on nonchalantly as the building explodes into a fireball behind her. Approaching an out of date 1987 Fiero sports coupe, discussion is held between the car itself and the teen known as Surge in which the sentient car is revealed to be an autobot in disguise. The pair continue their distasteful discussion as to what actions should be taken to stop Professor Sebastian Trenton. After delivering her famous statement, they were cut short as a teen clad in punk rocker guise landed on the hood of Sparkshot. Taking it as offensive, Surge takes off after the teen known as Johnny Strings astride rocket powered shoes. Their high speed air show ends with Surge shooting him out of the air and explaining to Strings that he does not know all there is to music before he passes out. With a worried Sparkshot having reunited with his partner, she turns to see that they were not alone in Detroit as they turn to come face to face with the autobots of the residentual area. After explanations and friendly banter were exchanged, the groups depart, little knowing that they were being watched by a controlled security drone as Trenton surveys the further ascending plot. Realizing that there were far more Transformers on earth than he originally planned, he further delves into his insideous plot as he keeps an eye on an old friend. As the evening progresses, Sari and 'Bee plan a mission of their own as she hacks into her father's computer files via her key. Her father later comes in to check on her, trying to reason with her that idolizing a vigilante is not exactly a healthy habit. However, being crafty, Sari was able to pull out of the discussion. The next day, Sari and 'Bee arrive at an abandoned area, having followed directions she recieved off the internet. After having examined the place and determining it abandoned, they begin to fall back only to run into Jettison. Being one of Trenton's first sucessful reprogramee's, Jettison show's true loyalty to his master's cause as he tries to capture both autobot and child. However as the chase leads on to streets as they attract attention from a familiar teen and autobot duo. With Surge's help, the pair were able to evade the 'con. After revealing what Trenton could be after, the girls team up as 'Bee goes off to retreive the others. Meanwhile, Trenton has already taken hostages with the help of Crunch and his Shrapnel drones at Sumdac Tower's sattelite reveal. As Crunch sets up and prepares the device, Trenton monologues himself, revealing his devastating plans of enslaving earthbound Transformers whether they be 'cons or autobots. During the discussion, it is clearified that both ex partners, Isaac Sumdac and Trenton, still bare a grudge with each other. Just as Crunch gives the signal that the device was ready, Surge power drives a Shrapnel through a glass door and lands unshakenly as she faces her mortal foe. She was too slow, however to stop Trenton as he flipped the switch to turn the hightech brainwashing device on and found herself like a trapped fly in the hands of her zombified friend. As she watched helplessly from her position, Sari jumped in as Trenton attempted to murder his old nemesis. Realizing that the child of his old partner could ruin things, he sent Shrapnel's after her. However, Sari was able to reverse the effects of the device, setting things right as the reversed wavelengths destroyed the Shrapnels. With things back to normal and Trenton in custody, Surge and partner retreat into Detroit. They, however run into the rest of the autobots enroute. After relaying the message that the threat was over, they part ways.
