3rd POV (Somewhere in the Forest)

Wheeljack tosses his grenade in his servo while leaning against the Jackhammer. Suddenly, a Ground Bridge appeared next to him. Rachet and Periwinkle walked out of the Ground Bridge.

"The boss thought you needed backup, huh?" Wheeljack asked teasingly.

"If you must know, Optimus feels strongly that you require supervision." Rachet retorted.

He starts to walk past Wheeljack.

"I'll be sure to be on my best behavior, Doc." Wheeljack claimed.

"Please don't call me Doc." Rachet tells him.

"Whatever you say, sunshine." Wheeljack teases.

Rachet groans in annoyance.

"How does Periwinkle put up with him?" Rachet asked under his breath.

They get inside the Jackhammer, which takes off into the sky.

"So, all of Team Prime is busy chasing down these four Iacon relics?" Wheeljack asked.

"The four which are currently at play." Rachet replied.

"There's more?" Wheeljack asked.

"Megatron maintains possession of the entire Iacon database." Periwinkle explained.

"We have yet to learn how many more relics or Decepticon weapons of mass destruction it contains." Rachet added.

"No worries, Doc and Pera. I got your backs." Wheeljack reassured.

"My name is not Doc, and I do not require anyone watching my back. I proved my medal during the war for Cybertron." Rachet stated.

"Then I'm lucky you and Pera are along for the ride." said Wheeljack.

He noticed the screen beeping.

"Cause we got a bogey on our tail."

Rachet and Periwinkle see Soundwave from the footage

"Soundwave." said Rachet.

Soundwave is flying straight behind the the Jackhammer

"Megatron's communications chief?" Wheeljack asked.

"He must be tracking the same coordinates." Periwinkle realized.

They flinch as Soundwave starts shooting at the Jackhammer.

"You both might want to grab onto something." Wheeljack advised.

He drives the Jackhammer upside down. Periwinkle holds onto Wheeljack's driver chair.

"Are you trying to send us to the scrapyard?!" Rachet yelled.

The Jackhammer flies behind Soundwave. It fires lasers at Soundwave who swerves away from them. The Jackhammer dodged Laserbeak as it flies behind them.

"What's that?" Wheeljack asked.

"Soundwave's surveillance drone; Laserbeak." Periwinkle answered.

The Jackhammer dodged lasers from Laserbeak. It flies after Soundwave.

"Wheeljack, maintain pursuit. Soundwave is merely using the drone to distract us!" Rachet tells him.

"I welcome a good distraction." Wheeljack replied with a smirk.

The Jackhammer flies behind Laserbeak and starts shooting at it.

"The hunter becomes the hunted."

Wheeljack takes delight in sending lasers at Laserbeak.
