Two Vehicons badmouth the Insecticons, sparking an all-out brawl between the two sub-groups, which ruins Knock Out's buffing session.

It's Wheeljack, who demands Megatron send Hardshell to face him, lest he capture and destroy his Energon mines. Megatron isn't too concerned about losing an asset here or there, but is livid when Wheeljack makes it clear that Bulkhead survived. Hardshell is horrified, having had his lie uncovered by his leader. Megatron is enraged at the deception and that Bulkhead still lives, and declares that Hardshell owes him a Spark, if not Bulkhead's then Wheeljack's.

Hardshell's supposed kill of Bulkhead goes to his head and causes him and the other Insecticons to clash with the other Decepticons a lot, due to Hardshell boasting now Megatron knows only an Insecticon warrior can get the job done right. He and Knock Out nearly come to blows when Knock Out says the Insecticon that was part of his own team was completely useless, and a fight breaks out in the hallway between two Vehicons and Hardshell and two other Insecticons. Knock Out goes to Megatron, pointing out how the Insecticons are causing dissension among the ranks and are a threat to the ship and crew, but the plotline is dropped once Megatron learns Hardshell didn't actually kill Bulkhead, with Knock Out getting the last laugh, taunting Hardshell he and the other "bugs" aren't as tough as they're cracked up to be after all.
