Synopsis for "Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash Of Doom"

Ratbat has come to the planet Earth to audit the Earthbound Decepticons methods of gathering Earth fuel. Overlooking a raid of an oil tanker that happens by the Decepticon's base in the Florida Keys. While the raid is a success, they have been duped into attacking a decoy ship that has not a single drop of fuel in it. This leads Ratbat to label Shockwave's operation a complete waste of energy and points out that they should be exploiting the humans to give them fuel instead of attacking them. When Shockwave points out that humans are too unpredictable, Ratbat explains that he's already using them in his current plans.

In Portland, Oregan, business at Sparkplug Witwicky's garage is booming since the installation of a new Wash & Roll, a car wash franchise that is owned by G.B. Blackrock. Despite the fact that there is a fuel shortage in the area, people are coming by in droves to gas up at Sparkplug's place, making it hard for Buster to have a social life and maintain his relationship with Jessie. While at Blackrock Enterprises, G.B. Blackrock addresses the press and discusses the success of his Wash & Roll franchise and unveils a model for a new deluxe model of the popular car wash to them. When the press leaves, Blackrock returns to his office where he pulls out a cassette that transforms into Ratbat, who congratulates him for a job well done.

That night at the Witwicky owned Wash & Roll, Jessie comes by in her parents car and asks Buster if he wants to go through the Wash & Roll with her. He agrees but is hardly impressed by the Wash & Roll's visual effects and other features. Realizing how insensitive she has been in choosing this as a date, Jessie attempts to make up by starting a make out session. However, because she is looking out the windshield, she is bombarded by hypnotic lights and put into a trance. When the car wash is over she abruptly ends the date and leaves. Buster, finding it all strange decides to follow after her.

He tails her to a Blackrock owned fuel refinery where he sees a number of the locals coming in and lining up for something. Spotting Jessie seemingly fueling up her car, he flashes his headlights at her snapping her out of the trance. Spotted by Laserbeak, the Decepticon herds him into the line, and he soon realizes that the Decepticons has hypnotized people with the Wash & Roll's so that they come to this Blackrock refinery to siphon out their gas tanks. Picking up Jessie they are about to leave to tell the authorities when Buster spots his dad in the lineup of cars.

Turning back the couple snoops around and finds Blackrock and Ratbat unveiling the new model of the Wash & Roll and explains to the hypnotized thrall gathered that to go through it will make the hypnosis permanent. When Sparkplug is the first person to volunteer to try it out. Buster gets in the way and is forced to drive into the Wash & Roll himself, with Ratbat not far behind. Buster manages to fend off an attack by Ratbat with a crowbar, and the effects of the Wash & Roll before Jessie can rescue him. Climbing to the top of the Wash & Roll, Buster tosses the crowbar at its light up sign causing a flash of electricity that snaps everyone out of their trances.

Led by G.B. Blackrock, the mob then attacks Ratbat and Laserbeak sending them fleeing. In the aftermath, Blackrock promises to have all the Wash & Roll's disassembled and refund everyone and send the proceeds to the stolen gas to charity. In the end, Jessie resumes with Buster where their date left off: a kiss.
