Synopsis
Prisoner Of War!
The Decepticons have succeeded in capturing Sparkplug Witwicky from the Autobots in order to force him into converting Earth's fuel sources into the kind that the Decepticons can use to refuel themselves. Internal strife begins between the Decepticons as Starscream openly begins to question Megatron, tipping the Decepticon commander off to the fact that Starscream may make a bid for Decepticon leadership. When they demand that Sparkplug to do the work for them, Sparkplug simply rhymes off his rank and military serial number like he did when he was a prisoner during the Korean War. This only works to annoy Megatron who demands Sparkplug work for them or be killed.
