  Summary

  Strongarm and Sideswipe watched Bumblebee try to subdue a criminal Seeker—with haste they haven't seen since his golden days. They're glad to confess that they tried to help!

  Key word; tried. They're now stuck on some organic planet with said yellow lieutenant and an ignorant Dinobot. While Starscream is out there somewhere in Earth's atmosphere(or the sea? Nobody knows, really.)
