"Keep fighting!", Optimus called out to his team, as they were all sinking in Soundwave's hand. "Remember this is all an illusion created by Soundwave!", Serenity called out, while trying to use her wand to get the others out.

"Sure feels real to me!", Bumblebee yelled out. "Operation Auotbot reprogramming near completion. Autobots will succumb to the will of Soundwave.", Soundwave said, while playing his instrument.

The Autobot's optics kept flickering from red to blue, as they lost sight of who they were. Then, a wire broke.

"Error. Reprogramming interruption.", Soundwave stated. In the illusion, Bulkhead's hand on Soundwave's hand when suddenly everyone was released and started falling into the city.

"Whoa! Don't know my own strength.", Bulkhead said, while helping Harvester up. "More likely there is some kind of malfunction in Soundwave's program.", Harvester stated.

"Perhaps we can exploit this malfunction.", Violet said, as she and Prowl start humming. "Not that processor over matter garbage again. That trick-", Bumblebee started.

But then, Prowl and Voilet disappeared. "Works?", Jetstar finished.

Prowl and Violet woke up seeing Soundwave repairing his machine. They took off the helmet that was on their heads.

Prowl went to Optimus, while Violet went to Serenity. But, just as they were about to grab them, Soundwave shot them against the wall.

"Foolish, Autobots. There is no escape from Soundwave.", Soundwave said, before grabbing both of their heads and hooking them up to his machine again. "Prowl! Violet!", Serenity said, while running over to her to friends.

"What happens?", Optimus asked from behind her. "We underestimated Soundwave.", Violet answered.

"A mistake we won't make twice.", Prowl said, while standing up. Suddenly, there was a bright flash and all the Autobots were humans again.

"Not again!", Bumblebee complained. "Why?", Jetstar yelled out and staring hitting her head on a nearby building.

"He's regaining control of the virtual world.", Optimus said. "We have to fight him.", Serenity said.

"Come on, transform already! Don't leave me stuck in this flash bag!", Ratchet groaned. "Autobot reprogramming will take longer than anticipated. Further interference must be prevented. Operation... Organic control.", Soundwave said, causing all the Soundwave toys to start taking control of the humans.

Back in Soundwave's program, Bulkhead was using a stoplight to destroy parts of the city. "I think he finally blew a head gasket.", Bumblebee stated.

"You and me both.", Jetstar whispered. Harvester then elbowed her.

"I don't see anyone else trying to get us out of this crazy video game.", Bulkhead said, while continuing his rampage. "That's because it doesn't work that way. Most of this is just automated code, what we need is to find Soundwave's interface.", Ratchet explained.

"Right like a visual icon.", Serenity stated. "Something that suggests Soundwave.", Optimus added.

"You mean like that?", Bumblebee asked, as a car that looked like Soundwave charges at them. "Automen! After that vehicle!", Optimus ordered.

"How?", Bulkhead asked. "In those...", Optimus points to a bunch of vehicles that looked exactly like their old forms.

"Now that is just ironic.", Jetstar stated, while slumping her shoulders. Everyone hopped into their cars.

Or in Jetstar's case... Jet. Bumblebee hopped in the yellow car.

He sees Captian Fanzone at the wheel. He then pushed him out.

"Sorry, Captain! Official business!", Bumblebee said. He then saw the look Optimus and Serenity were giving him.

"What? It's not like the guy is real.", Bumblebee continued. Optimus then saw the inter-workings of the firetruck.

"Maybe this isn't going to be as easy as I thought.", Optimus said. "At least you don't have to worry about scraping your body on the pavement.", Serenity said, while pulling up beside his window.

Meanwhile, Sari had arrived at Sumdac tower. But, found no one.

"Dad? Dad!", Sari called out. Her eyes soon widened.

Sari sees a shadow approach. But, she sees it was just a Soundwave toy.

"I don't have any time for your old song and dance!", Sari said, while kicking the toy. "The female's cybernetic and organic biology must make her immune to the music. She can not be controlled. Therefore, she must be destroyed.", Soundwave said, while watching Sari.

"Dad, I'm so glad I found you! Soundwave has the Autobots jack into some crazy machine to reprogram them. We have to help!", Sari said. But, she got no reaction from her father.

"Hello? Earth to dad?", Sari asked. Still no reaction.

But then, the Soundwave toy came out. "The techno organic must be destroyed.", Mr. Sumdac said, before trying to grab Sari, but failing.

"Dad? Kind of freaking me out here! You talking just like- Soundwave! He must have found a way to brainwash humans, too." Sari said. "The techno organic must be destroyed.", Mr. Sumdac said, while approaching Sari.

Sari then blew up the toy. "This concert is over.", Sari said.

"The techno organic must be destroyed.", Mr. Sumdac continued. "Dad! Listen! Soundwave is controlling you! You got to fight it!", Sari yelled out.

But, none of her words stopped the professor. "Don't come any closer! I-I don't want to hurt you!", Sari said.

She then aimed her hands at a shelf, before trapping the professor underneath it. "I'm really sorry about that, Dad.", Sari apologized, while flying out.

All the Auobots were in pursuit of Soundwave. Bulkhead accidentally ran his side into a semi truck.

"Hey! Take it easy, lead foot!", a guy called out. "What? It's not lead anymore.", Bulkhead said, while looking at his foot.

This caused it to slow down, hitting Bumblebee's front. "Virtual Fanzone is going to be ticked.", Bumblebee said.

Then, Harvester came up behind the guy that yelled at Bulkhead and accidentally spewed seeds all over the truck. "Oops!", Harvester exclaimed.

Then, Jetstar went flying by. Her jet starting to spin out of control before she was able to even it out again.

"I'm going to be sick.", Jetstar said. Opitmus was driving behind them.

His hoses spraying water. His siren wailing as he was driving.

"I have to hand it to the humans, driving is much more difficult than it looks.", Optimus said. Serenity was then hit by Optimus's hose, as water sprayed all over her.

This made her skid slightly before she gained control. "B-But, i-it's d-indefinably warmer d-driving as a A-Autobot.", Serenity shivered.

"This ain't so hard.", Ratchet said, while driving backwards. "It's merely a matter of becoming one with the machin- Whoa!", Prowl yelled out, as his motor cycle reared up.

Violet veered to get out of the way. "Come on, Prowl! You can do better than-", Violet said.

She was then cuts off as a bunch of snow from the vehicle in front of her hit her face. Soon, they all arrived at a drive in theater.

Ratchet backing into Bulkhead. "Ha! Now we've got him!", Ratchet cheered.

Then, a bunch of Soundwave's started to surrounded them. "Right where he wants us.", Ratchet finished.

"Oh, we are so offline.", Jetstar said, while hovering in the air. "Autopeople! Full reverse back now!", Optimus ordered, while backing up.

"But, I was just getting good at going forward.", Bulkheadt stated. As everyone started driving backwards, suddenly seat belts wrapped around them or cuffs on Serenity were on her motorcycle.

Soundwave appeared in the screen. "Resume operation. Autobot reprogramming. All obey Soundwave.", Soundwave said.

"Something tells me I'm going to hate this movie.", Bumblebee said. "You and me both.", Jetstar said, who's jet had lowered to the ground.

"Autobots obey. Soundwave is your master. Princess Serenity will be Soundwave's.", Soundwave kept repeating, as he played his music. "I'm feeling kind of foggy in my processor...", Bulkhead moaned.

"Soundwave is distorting our core programming.", Ratchet explained. "He's making us forget who we are.", Harvester said, as her eyes starting to droop.

"We have to fight his control.", Opitmus said. "Don't give in! We can do this guys!", Serenity tried to encouraged her team.

Even though she was losing her own will power. But, it was no use, as all their eyes turned red.

Sari in the meantime had flown to Dinobot Island, hoping to find help. Suddenly, the Terrisaur flew behind her and knocked her into the snow.

Stomping was heard behind her, as Grimlock came forward. "Intruder! Dinotbots, destroy puny human!", Grimlock yelled out.

"Wait! I came here for your help!", Sari tried to explained. "Dinobots not help punny human! Dinobots destroy puny human!", Grimlock yelled out, as he started to attack when...

"Wait, boys! Don't be hastey!", Elita-1 shouted out. Sari looked over and saw Elita-1 looking through the trees.

"Sari? What are you doing here?", Elita-1 asked. "The Autobots are in trouble! They all need our help.", Sari explained.

"You have us behind you, Princess.", Elita-1 said, before doing a fake salute. "Hey! Weren't there three Dinobots?", Sari asked.

"The other one is on the other side of the island with the construction bots.", Elita-1 explained, while pointing. "We can use all the help we can get. Come on!", Sari said, as she started flying in that direction.

"Hey, Scrap! Where's the oil we were saving for Harvester's wedding, eh?", Mix Master asked, while digging through their homemade home. "Why Mix? Did Bulky finally pop the question?", Scraper asked.

"No, were out of our other stuff and I won't survive without a drop of oil.", Mix said, while standing up. "Well, I think we really should be saving that.", Scraper said, while looking away.

"Hey, wait a minute! Did you already drink it?", Mix asked. "I was starving for some oil.", Scraper claimed.

"Why you-", Mix said, before tackling Scrapers. "Sick him, Snarl!", Mix ordered.

Snarl looked up from where he was laying down. "Not him! Get him!", Mix yelled out.

Snarl didn't really seem to care, as he just continued to stare at them. Sari then came running over.

"Scraper! Mix Master! We need your help.", Sari said. "Forget it!", Scraper started.

"We already got a pet. Come on, Snarl!", Mix yelled out, as the Dinobot got up and started running over to them. "No. I have a job for you.", Sari explained.

"A job, huh? I don't know sounds like to much work.", Scraper stated. "Yeah, were giving all that up to be free spirits.", Mix explained.

"You sister could be in danger.", Elita-1 said, while standing behind Sari crossing her arms. That got their attention.

"We need to get off this island now!", Mix yelled out. "But how? Were stuck here!", Scraper stated.

"You're a construction bot. Why don't you guys just construct a boat?", Sari asked. "Construct a- Hey, why didn't we think of that, Mix?", Scraper asked.

"Let's get going. Harvester needs us.", Mix said, while starting work. Pretty soon, Sari, Elita-1, all the Dinobots, and the construction bots were heading for the mainland.

"Once we land, we will need to head right where Soundwave is holding the Autobots.", Sari informed. "So does this mean we are heroes?", Scraper asked.

"Did someone say, Hero?", Wreckgar asked. I giant splash then came from the water, as Wreckgar landed on the raff.

"I'm Wreckgar! I'm a hero.", Wreckgar continued. "You have got to be pulling my leg.", Sari said, while flying over to him.

"Okay, I've got to be pulling your leg. I'm Wreckgar, the leg-pulling hero.", Wreckgar said, before grabbing Sari's leg. "Who is this chunk head?", Scraper asked.

"Didn't you hear him oil for brains? He said Wreckgar.", Mix said, before wracking Scraper. "Also would you believe the newest member of the substitute Autobots?", Sari asked, still hanging upside down.

"This is going to be a long solar cycle.", Elita-1 said, while rubbing her head. Once they were all on land.

"Alright, substitute Autobots! Transform and roll out!", Sari ordered. "Did that feel good to say?", Elita-1 asked, as she transformed and head out.

The Dinobots following behind. "Transform. What a good idea.", Wreckgar said, while transforming and driving off.

Then, Scraper and Mix jumped on Snarl. "Hi ho, Snarl-", Mix and Scraper both said.

But, Snarl slipped making them both fall off. "Hey, Snarl! Wait for us!", Mix and Scraper yelled out, before transforming and going after him.

"Hey, wait for me! I'm your leader!", Sari called out after them. Sari was able to fly ahead and stop them.

"You guys can't go running off like that without a plan. Right now we have the advantage. We have Soundwave out numbered and the element of surprise.", Sari cotinued. Suddenly, Soundwave flew up from the ground.

"I'm Soundwave. Resistance is futile.", Soundwave said. "So much for the element of surprise.", Scraper stated.

"Substitute, Autobots. Transform and attack!", Sari yelled out. But, before they could attack, all of the Autobots stood before them.

"Man! Am I happy to see you guys. I actually thought I was going to have to lead these losers into battle.", Sari said. "Hey, watch it!", Elita-1 warned.

"The techno organic must be destroyed.", Optimus and Serenity said at the same time. Sari got a started look on her face.

"Oh, slag.", Sari gulped. As the Autobots approached.

"Scarper and Mix Master, you take Bulkhead, Harvester, and Ratchet. Dinobots you take Bumblebee, Jetstar, and Violet. Elita-1, Wreckgar, you guys are with me.", Sari ordered. "This is so sudden. Aren't we a little young to go steady?", Wreckgar asked.

"Yep! You're a princess alright.", Elita-1 stated, as they all move in to fight. "Guys, it's me! Sari, I know you don't want to hurt me. You have to tune out Soundwave's music.", Sari tried to reason with them.

"The Autobots will not be persuaded by human motions. Their reprogramming is complete. After this, the princess will be mine. Destroy them all!", Soundwave ordered. "Cover me!", Sari ordered.

"You got it.", Wreckgar said and he threw a sheet over Sari. "Wrong kind of cover!", Elita-1 yelled out, while dodging one of Serenity's blasts from her wand and grabbing Sari out of range, taking the blanket off of her.

"Let's see... There must be something heroic in here.", Wreckgar said, before throwing a bunch of his garbage out. Prowl tried to dodge him, but ended up slamming into Serenity.

Soundwave then caused Optimus to start approaching Wreckgar. "On guard mount sewer.", Wreckgar said, while taking out a giant branch that had a bunch of sticks pointing out from it.

Optimus just merely took out his ax and chopped it into small pieces. "The techno organic must be destroyed.", Serenity said.

"Oh... Okay.", Wreckgar said, as he grabbed Sari. "Hey! Heroes don't attack their own teammates!", Sari yelled out.

"Right! I'm Wreckgar! I'm a hero. Try and keep that straight will you?", Wreckgar said. He then tossed Sari, as Elita-1 caught her.

"With Autobots like that, who needs Decepticons?", Sari asked. "Tell me about it, Sister.", Elita-1 said.

Then, Laserbeak started flying at them. "We didn't mean it literally!", Sari yelled out, while flying out of Elita-1's grasp.

"Take that! And that! And that! Let it snow... Let it snow!", Scraper said, while using his scoop to throw snow at Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Harvester. But, it did nothing.

"Alright! Then take this.", Mix Master said, while putting a punch of snow in his mixer and shooting it out. But, it did nothing, as they used their powers to send them sliding back into Snarl.

"Hey, boy!", Mix Master and Scraper both said. Jetstar was currently taking care of the Pteranodon by clipping his wing slightly.

Bumblebee and Violet were taking on Snarl and Grimlock. Violet flipped over Grimlock, before kicking him in the back of the head.

Bumblebee then shot Snarl, causing him to start sliding backward on the ice. "Resistance is futile, human. Soundwave controls all machines. Including your jet pack.", Soundwave said, causing Sari's Jet pack to turn back into a scooter and making her fall in the snow.

"Were getting our cans kicked! They work much better a team and their mindless zombies!", Sari complained. Then, Scraper and Mix landed in the snow.

"That's because there is only one bot controlling them.", Scraper stated. "I mean, what do you want us to do an attack on our own?", Mix asked.

"That's it! We got to divide up! Attack on your own!", Sari ordered. "I didn't think she would take it literally.", Mix said.

"Yeah! Didn't you say work together?", Scraper asked. Wreckgar then landed in the snow.

"Don't you hate when people can't make up their minds?", Wreckgar asked. Elita-1 then landed.

"Wait! I think I get what she is saying.", Elita-1 said. Then, all the Dinobots landed in the snow, while groaning.

"Just do it!", Sari yelled out. Snarl took on Ratchet.

Scraper took on Bulkhead. Mixmaster took on Harvester.

Grimlock took on Violet. Flege took on Jetstar.

Wreckgar took on Bumblebee and Prowl. Elita-1 took on Serenity and Sari took on Optimus.

"You know, it really sticks that I have to take on my future brother-in-law.", Sari whispered. Sari then looked around as all the Autobots were having a hard time fighting.

"It's working! He can't control of them at once.", Sari said. Soon, the substitute Autobots had all their opponents down for the count.

"Haha! Catchy! Easy to dance, too. But, you know what it needs.", Wreckgar said, while bringing out an accordion, until Laserbeak grabbed it. "Everyone's a critic.", Wreckgar muttered.

Serenity was then behind Sari, preparing to shoot her when Prowl and Violet jumped out of nowhere. Prowl grabbed Sari out of the way, while Violet hit Serenity slightly and making her miss.

Sari looked up and sees Prowl bending over her, while looking like he was about to punch her. But, he was holding back.

Sari took this time to shoot him away from her. "That was weird. Why didn't he slag me when he had the chance?", Sari asked.

She then looked at her team, who had finally subdued the Autobots. "I can't believe I'm saying this... But, you guys are beating the Autobots.", Sari said.

"Not bad for a bunch of losers, huh?", Scraper said. "Speak for yourself.", Elita-1 said.

But, when she turned to face Serenity, she had her wand aimed directly at Elita's face, sending her flying back and knocking her out. Optimus then ran over and started taking out the team Sari had put together.

"Your strategy is flawed, human. I can now focus all control on Optimus Prime and Princess Serenity.", Soundwave stated. Snarl tried to run at Optimus, but he grabbed him by the horns and slammed him down.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! That's cruelty to Dinobots.", Scraper stated. Mix came over and started petting him.

Serenity then shot at a billboard, as it came down on them. Grimlock and Fledge then came at them.

Serenity shot and Grlimlock's feet, making him slip and Optimus used his grappler to wrap around Flege's feet and slammed him on top of Grimlock. "Alright guys! I hate to do this. But...", Sari said, shooting at both of them.

Optimus just grabbed wreckage and blocked for both of them, as Wreckgar went unconscious. "The techno organic must be destroyed.", Optimus and Serenity both said, while
