Persuasion

S3, E11: The Decepticons hold Ratchet captive, and Megatron attempts to persuade him to help complete the synthetic energon formula and restore Cybertron. Rafael and Wheeljack build a flying drone and attach Laserbeak's transponder (which Smokescreen shot off) to it, in the hope that Laserbeak's navigation systems will lead the Autobots to Ratchet so they can rescue him.
