Sparkplug doesn't wait an instant before answering. "You can't go into Center City looking like robots. The people would go crazy with fear. Panic would spread, and in all the confusion you'd never be able to stop the Decepticons."

"But what good can we do as vehicles?" asks Beachcomber.

"Plenty," replies Sparkplug. "I'll talk to the mayor of the city. He's an old friend of mine. Somehow I'll convince him we need to evacuate Center City. Then I'll provide him with the means of evacuation—you."

"The Autobots?" Optimus Prime says with surprise.

"Exactly. I can't think of any place humans would be safer than riding inside one of you."

"Well…" says Optimus Prime modestly.

"You'll have to make several trips, of course," Sparkplug continues, "but this plan should clear the roads of horrible traffic jams and keep the people from panicking. What do you say?"

"It sounds excellent to me," replies Optimus Prime. "In fact, I'm going to put it into action right now. Sparkplug, why don't you ride with me and we'll lead the way for the other Autobots."
