Synopsis "Decepticon Graffiti!"

At RAAT headquarters, Circuit Breaker experiments on Skids in an attempt to learn more about the Transformers.

Meanwhile, at the Decepticon base in Wyoming, Megatron recruits Battlechargers Runabout and Runamuck from Cybertron to deliver a message to Optimus Prime—challenging him to a duel to the death.

The Battlechargers depart, irritated that Megatron still acts like he's in charge after a four-million-year absence. Deciding that they'd rather run rampant on the unsuspecting planet Earth, they pause to ponder what they should do. They observe a family, the Actons, on summer vacation. One of the family members, Noah, is bored with the vacation. Noah rebels by writing "Vacations are the pits" on a store wall. This act of defiance inspires the Battlechargers to follow the Actons on their tour of America, spray-painting Cybertronian graffiti on national monuments as they go. Their targets include Mount Rushmore and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

These acts of graffiti are broadcast via news reports, and RAAT is sent to investigate and engage the robot(s) perpetrating these crimes. When the Battlechargers strike the Washington Monument, Circuit Breaker discovers a link between the incidents and the Acton family and is able to intercept the Battlechargers at the Acton's next stop, Independence Hall in Philadelphia. While RAAT is able to prevent Independence Hall from being vandalized, Circuit Breaker is injured while saving Noah Acton from being killed in the crossfire. She is ordered to stay behind and recover while RAAT journeys to intercept the Battlechargers at the Statue of Liberty (this time having taken the appropriate precautions to avoid civilian interference).

Circuit Breaker is frustrated by her inability to join in the fight, but is too weak to go against the robots alone. Donny Finkleberg convinces her to use the Autobots she has imprisoned to fight the Battlechargers. This is done by means of building the bodies of these Autobots into a jury-rigged gestalt, which she controls from a position at the gestalt's chest. They engage the Battlechargers at the Statue of Liberty, but not before the robots manage to deface the Statue with another message, this one intended for the humans and written in English: "Humans are Wimps". Circuit Breaker is able to defeat the Battlechargers, who are last seen falling to the ocean as burnt-out husks.

Circuit Breaker frees the Autobots, apparently as part of an agreement she made with them in order to gain their cooperation. She and Finkleberg are fired from RAAT for this act of insubordination.

Finkleberg returns to his New York apartment and watches the televised report of the defacing of the Statue of Liberty. In an act of uncharacteristic self-sacrifice, Finkleberg signs over the $50,000 he earned for betraying Skids, in order to fund repairs on the monument.
