As the Autobots attend Optimus Prime's funeral, Ratchet decides not to attend and goes for a drive in his ambulance form, parking up in an auto scrap yard. Whilst fleeing from the police, the Mechanic and his accomplice jump into Ratchet and drive him away. The Mechanic drives to his hideout and attempts to take the ambulance apart when Ratchet reverts to his robot form. The Mechanic follows Ratchet back to the Autobots' base and sneaks in, and tries to take over the base.
