Grimlock orders the ark to attack the shuttle transporting Blaster and the four kids. Grimlock captures the Shuttle, but one of the kids threw Blaster out beforehand to save him. Grimlock orders that the four kids literally walk the plank into open space. Meanwhile, Wheeljack had summoned his old friend Sky Lynx from Cybertron to help them, and he successfully picks up the four kids. Grimlock and his other four Dinobots exit the Ark to go after Sky Lynx, but Blaster gives himself up to save Sky Lynx and the kids.
