Power Struggles

The Autobots had lost three of their own on the Sinai Peninsula, and the intelligence quickly made its way back to New Iacon City.

"It was Wrench and the others. They had sent back a report earlier—they found traces of two Decepticons while surveying mineral deposits in Egypt!"

Ironhide, New Iacon City's sheriff, received the intelligence immediately.

The Cassette Troops reported it to him. After Goldbug's return, Optimus Prime had once again entrusted him with the important task of gathering intelligence.

The Cassette Troops were usually responsible for collecting information from the human internet.

This time, they had discovered several videos uploaded by humans online.

That was how they learned that, a few hours earlier on the Sinai Peninsula, three Autobots had fought the Decepticons.

The human-uploaded videos made it clear that Wrench and the others had encountered five Decepticon Replica Soldiers.

The remains of the fallen Autobots and Decepticons appeared to have been taken away shortly afterward by Egyptian troops who had rushed to the scene.

"What the hell were these three idiots thinking?"

Ironhide quickly finished watching the videos brought by the Cassette Troops,
