Line 12:
Hardshell comes to as the other Insecticons find him. He notes that Bulkhead left him alive and says that will be his last mistake. The Insecticons fly off.
 
Bulkhead drives past a canister stuck in the ground and skids to a stop. After a brief struggle, he opens it to find that it is the fourth relic. He looks into the container and his expression turns grim. Contacting Fowler, Bulkhead tells him he's found a cache of energon -- butenergon—but not the good kind. What he's found is called Tox-En, which causes dizziness and nausea upon contact, and weakens Cybertronians the longer they're exposed to it until it extinguishes their sparks.
 
Fowler tells Bulkhead to get out of there, thinking that the Decepticons won't want anything to do with it either. Bulkhead says no go -- backgo—back on Cybertron, Megatron found a way to turn Tox-En into a weapon of mass destruction, and he can't afford to risk this sample falling into Decepticon hands. Fowler suggests bringing it back to base, which Bulkhead also shoots down, saying that even if they could store it safely, it's too potent to risk exposure. He hears the Insecticons approaching in the distance and hangs up, then pulls out a grenade, saying he'll take care of it "Wrecker style."
 
The Insecticons land at the canister. One of them approaches and opens it, but as it's about to grab the Tox-En, the grenade explodes, killing it, and destroying the canister and the Tox-En inside. The dead Insecticon lands in front of Hardshell, who realizes what was inside it.
 
Bulkhead runs up a mountainside, carrying the rest of the Tox-En. Fowler asks him if he's nuts, and Bulkhead replies that he had to put some distance between himself and the Insecticons so he can dispose of the rest of it -- byit—by dumping it into the volcano. He coughs up some energon after saying this.
 
Hardshell contacts Megatron to tell him that he's found the Tox-En... but he doesn't actually have any, saying that an Autobot has it. "Are you not the fiercest Insecticon?" Megatron asks.
Line 26:
The three remaining Insecticons find his trail. Hardshell tastes the energon, notes that it's fresh, then they return to the air.
 
Bulkhead, now in vehicle mode, is struggling to make his way back up the mountainside. Fowler compliments him on thinking to leave a false trail, saying that he used the same trick once when he got separated from his unit behind enemy lines. Bulkhead is curious, and Fowler tells him about his Army Ranger past, saying "we could wreck with the best of 'em." [[Transformers Prime (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E13 Triangulation|Optimus, on his mission, interrupts and tells Fowler that he needs to get into the research facility in the Antarctic.]]
 
Bulkhead continues to struggle to get up the mountainside, and he finally transforms and slips down. Gathering himself, he resumes the climb on foot.
Line 40:
As Bulkhead crosses the volcano, the Insecticons arrive and surround him. He takes one out with a grenade, then shoves the Tox-En in Hardshell's face as he attacks. He knocks the last Insecticon out of the air with a uppercut, then shoves the Tox-En into his body cavity while he squares up to Hardshell.
 
Meanwhile, [[Transformers Prime (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E12 Tunnel Vision|Fowler converses with Vogel]] before hanging up, then reconnects with Bulkhead to tell him Miko's safe and on her way back. Encouraged, Bulkhead starts to trade blows with the Insecticon. Hardshell knocks him down and his vision goes blurry.
 
Ratchet returns from his mission to see the Iacon database downloading into the base computer as Fowler is desperately trying to raise Bulkhead, who's still fighting Hardshell. Fowler yells at the celebrating Ratchet and Raf.
Line 46:
Hardshell moves to finish off Bulkhead, but the Autobot moves and tosses him aside, right next to the Tox-En. Bulkhead knocks Hardshell back and throws the Tox-En at Him, causing him to stagger backwards into the volcano. He sees the rock dissipate and radios Fowler, who tells Rafael to open the Ground Bridge. As he's walking through, Hardshell climbs out of the volcano and fires at Bulkhead.
 
The episode ends the same way [[Transformers Prime (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E14 Triage|the last one did]] -- with—with Bulkhead flying through the Ground Bridge into the base, smoking and unconscious.
 
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Book Ends|Bookend]] [[Cliff Hanger]]: "Triage" and "Toxicity" both end with a gravely injured Bulkhead flying through the Ground Bridge and landing unconscious on the floor of the Autobot base. But where "Triage"'s ending asks "What happened to Bulkhead?", "Toxicity"'s ending asks, "What's ''going'' to happen to Bulkhead?"
* [[Call Back]]: Several to the last three episodes, which are all going on concurrently.
