Later, Kirk called McCoy andScottyto join him on the surface and attempt to repair agiant robotthat he had incapacitated. McCoy protested, saying he wasn't a mechanic and should be joining the medical team in treating the injured miners, but Kirk insisted, believing it possessed consciousness and asking McCoy to run his own medical scans and compare them to Scotty's diagnostics. McCoy was shocked to find that it was as Kirk said, though he skeptically pointed out that they still didn't know how to reawaken the behemoth.Prime's Directive, Part One

Over McCoy's protests,Spockthen opted to use theVulcanmind meld on the robot, given the similarities between its neural nets and that of the average humanoid's, only to be forced out by the sheer amount of neurological information. Spock's gambit had paid off however and the robot introduced himself as Optimus Prime who corrected the misconception that he was the only Cybertronian on the planet. As the quartet compared notes, Optimus ferried the organics back to the mine shaft only forStarscream's force to seal the path, pinning them down behind the mining equipment.Prime's Directive, Part TwoThough McCoy attempted to affect medical treatment to Optimus, the Prime leapt into action to allow several miners to escapeAirachnid's attack.
