"As a leader, I should know when to make the right decisions." Soundwave spoke for the first time in days to counter Bumblebee's point, "Who says you are the leader? If anything Optimus is the leader because he sent you on this mission. Also, 3 of the most powerful members are heavy-duty vehicles not meant for off-roading."
Bumblebee was annoyed at this as they continued up the highway to see Clampdown fall out of the treeline, everyone transformed as Sideswipe spoke, "Clampdown what has you so spooked?" Clampdown groaned as he tried to scurry away from the Autobots but the Soundwave lifted him off the ground.
"A white Autobot with a minicon! I've gotta get outta here." Something else started to follow him from the treeline and Optimus and Bumblebee were shocked as the figure revealed himself from the dark. Optimus spoke first, "Ratchet?"
Ratchet was also surprised as he didn't think he would run into his old friend on Earth. "Optimus?" Bumblebee greeted his old friend as Clampdown was trying to bargain with Soundwave to let a fellow Decepticon leave.
Ratchet put him into the Stasis Pod.
