Highlights
- Starscream flies his prisoner, Sparkplug Witwicky to the Decepticon's base
- Megatron informs Sparkplug that he has the ability to create fuel for them
- The leader of the Decepticons makes it clear - He will help, or cease to exist
- A hidden Easter egg of US 1 driving over an overpass as the Transformers head down the road below
- Nick Fury tells Dum Dum that they need to check out Oregon, but it better not be the big green fire snortin' lizard, referencing Godzilla, a series which S.H.I.E.L.D. also appeared in
- Joe Robertson sends Peter Parker out on assignment to get photos of whatever walked off with a power plant
- The army sends out a transmission to the Decepticons that they have come to their base in peace, and are met with cluster bombs from Thundercracker and Starscream
- Spider-Man confronts Gears, and after being saved by the Autobot, accepts that they're both on the same side
- Disguised as an army solider, Spider-Man drives Hound through the closed line of army troops, leading the other Autobots with him
- Gears thinks to himself that Spider-Man reminds him of Bluestreak by the way they both seem to like to hear themselves talk
- Spider-Man and Gears infiltrate the Decepticon's base and rescue Sparkplug
- Gears is damaged greatly in the rescue from a fall from the top of the base to the bottom of the canyon, but is collected by his fellow Autobots and restored
- Spider-Man's involvement was only a ploy to boost sales, while also using him to establish the Transformers as part of the the Marvel Universe
Oddities
- When Spider-Man drives Hound through the closed line of army troops, the soldiers ask what's up with the other vehicles going through, only for another to say, "Who cares."
