Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 19

Arcee tracks down a Predacon, and lets the Decepticons handle the problem.

Synopsis

Tracking down the elusive Ripclaw in the Canadian Rockies, Arcee uses her keen mind to find out just what has been going on. From the recent, random attacks the Predacons have committed towards her Autobot comrades, to the gathered intelligence suggesting that the Decepticons are in total panic, she deduces that the Decepticons are just as concerned with the Predacon problem as the Autobots, if not more so. Cleverly, she sends Ripclaw's coordinates to the Decepticons, hoping that they will deal with Ripclaw, instead of risking more Autobot lives.
