Despite the window and the wind, Highbrow and Papika have a good conversation from this distance.

TheDecepticons besieged the planet Paradise, intent on converting its natural resources into energy. Half of her people killed, women and children included, Papika was relieved to discover thatRaiden andHighbrow, who arrived shortly thereafter, were not members of the Decepticons. After telling her story to Highbrow and introducing the Autobots to her father and her people, she metDaniel Witwicky andWheelie, the former of whom nurtured a crush. Wheelie was jealous. Wheelie bragged about his ability to transform, insisting upon his superiority, but Papika countered with her ability to travel on the backs of animals. Wheelie was not impressed.

Meanwhile, Highbrow was abducted byMindwipe, and the Decepticons chained him in front of a waterfall. The Autobots and Papika came to his rescue, and Papika swooped down instantly to try to cut his chains with her knife. After this attempt failed, Highbrow used the last vestiges of his energy to disengage from hisTranstector and unite with his fellowHeadmasters inHead Formation. This powered him up and allowed him to break free, so that the Autobots could together force the Decepticons off the planet.

As the Autobots said their goodbyes, Papika and her father vowed to rebuild their planet better than it was before.Head Formation of Friendship
