Synopsis
The Autobots grow concerned by the Dinobots' increasingly erratic behavior, which is only exacerbated by the sudden disappearance of Grimlock and Swoop. Slug and the Dinobots go rogue and set out to attack the Decepticon base. Wheeljack's magnetic inducer fails to stop the rampaging Dinobots, though he is able to get a partial scan to determine what's causing them to run amok. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime is injured during the attempt. The Decepticons' plan to mount a full-scale attack on Autobot headquarters while he is incapacitated is interrupted when the three Dinobots attack!
The three Dinobots are no match for the combined might of the Decepticons and the Autobots manage to wrangle them back into custody while they are weakened. However, there is still no sign of Grimlock and Swoop and Wheeljack's corrupted scan may take weeks to decode.

Notes
- The episode bears a resemblance to several different classic Dinobots stories such as "S.O.S. Dinobots" and "Dinobot Hunt!", but it, unlike the previous event, is very much its own story.
- If they recaptured the Dinobots, why can't Wheeljack just make a new scan? Perhaps because they're no longer under the influence of the mysterious malign influence which caused them to run wild...?
- This marked the beginning of mobage's tradition of having 2-part "episodes" where the second part takes place weeks or months after the first, with an in-universe explanation for the lacuna between the parts. In this case, Part 2 will begin several months later when Swoop and Grimlock finally return.
- This event was once again plagued by severe overload during its third day when Mobage held a one hour double-points "mini event" around Slug's debut as a boss character.
