Synopsis
Together with Lockdown, Prowl (in his new power-enhancing armor) successfully captures Starscream. Lockdown prepares to take him back to his sponsor, Megatron. Prowl begins to have second thoughts, encouraging Lockdown to immobilize him and take the bounty for himself.
Later, Optimus Prime and the Autobots bring Prowl to, as they come under attack from Starscream! Enraged, Prowl uses the power of his new armor to fly into the air, chop off Starscream's wings and send him plummeting into a nearby park.
Detaining the unconscious Starscream, Prime scolds Prowl for being too flashy in his attack. Prowl insists that he never gives any less than his all, while Ratchet shows him the destruction his "all" has wrought upon the once-peaceful park. Prowl then recalls words from his cyber ninja master, Yoketron, telling him that with power comes a choice, and asking what choice he will make?
Suddenly, Prowl gets a transmission from Lockdown. Lockdown is turning Starscream over to Megatron and wants to thank Prowl for helping him rake in such a huge bounty. Confused, Prowl leads the Autobots to Lockdown's location.
Inside a warehouse, the Autobots confront the Decepticons. Optimus demands Megatron hand-over his Starscream, while Megatron demands Optimus hand over his Starscream. Suddenly, one of the duplicate Starscreams begins playing a message from the real Starscream. As it turns out, both clones are rigged to explode. Megatron and the Decepticons flee the warehouse, as Optimus exclaims that they can't shut the explosives off. Prowl says they don't need to and attaches one of his armor's rocket thrustors to the clones. The Starscreams go flying into the sky where they explode near the startled Decepticons.
Back on the ground, Prowl removes his armor, deciding he doesn't need it any longer. He then recalls more words from Yoketron, informing him that true power comes not from weapons. Prowl vows to start his training over from scratch.
Elsewhere, Starscream observes the whole debacle from a monitor and curses the interference of the Autobots. However, he admits that he still has plenty more clones where those two came from.
