| 1 | "Fallen" | |
| The episode begins with the Autobots evacuating Cybertron due to the black hole threatening their planet. The Autobots are transporting a few last minute supplies when Starscream shows up. Starscream attacks the Autobots, but Optimus Prime drives out to the rescue. He quickly transforms and attacks, but then he realizes Starscream is a decoy and rolls for the base. Starscream targets Optimus, but Landmine jumps in the way. He is damaged and begins to float away, so to save him and stuff, Vector Prime comes out and opens a space bridge to Earth that Landmine drifts through. On Earth, Coby and his younger brother Bud are racing dirt bikes with tir dad. Lori comes out and begins to complain, so they invite her to join the festivities. The three kids begin hiking in the mountains when they see the space bridge open. They go to investigate the crash and discover Landmine. Coby repairs Landmine, so Landmine begins to tell them the tale of the Transformers. He reveals that the black hole was created by the destruction of Unicron. The black hole was now consuming many planets, and Cybertron was next so Optimus had sent Jetfire to Earth to scan some vehicles. Jetfire brought back vehicle designs for all the Transformers, so they scanned them and began transporting to Earth when a space bridge opens up. Out comes Vector Prime, who calls himself the Keeper of Space and Time. Vector Prime says the only way to save Cybertron and the universe was to decipher his map and find the Cyber Planet Keys. Optimus quickly agrees. Back on Earth, Thundercracker scans a jet and locates Landmine. He decides to attack Landmine from behind. Landmine protects the kids, and then Optimus arrives in his flying fire truck mode. Optimus quickly disposes of Thundercracker and informs the other Autobots that he has located Landmine. The Autobots drive over and introduce themselves to the kids, and then Optimus decides to tell them the rest of the story. After saving Landmine, Vector Prime was able to finish synchronizing the map. Just then Megatron transported in and disposed of Scattershot. He tried to convince Vector Prime that the Autobots were evil, but Vector Prime wasn't fooled so Megatron stole the planet map instead. Optimus came in and went into Super Mode. He went head to head with Megatron, but Megatron was able to transport out after stealing the map, so the Decepticons have the map and the Autobots are on Earth. Vector prime then summons the Minicons. The Minicons scan vehicles and begin to do their daily tasks when Vector Prime notices Lori's shirt. Lori's shirt contains a symbol that is the Seal of Atlantis. Vector Prime realizes that the Omega Lock is on Earth, and he informs the Autobots that if they find the Omega Lock, they can also find another map, so the mission begins. | ||
| 2 | "Inferno" | |
| New information is revealed about Landmine's arrival on Earth, as well as Scattershot's pre-CDT scan. NOTE: This episode is the fully dubbed version of episode two of Transformers Galaxy Force (Encounter with the Transformers). | ||
| 3 | "Haven" | |
| The episode begins with Coby, Lori, and Bud having chosen a mountainside for the Autobots' base. Lori reveals that her dad owns the land and was going to use it for house construction, but the market went soft, so the Autobots build their base there. Bud is amazed that the secret base is a secret, but he suggests they build a takeoff tower for Jetfire and Vector Prime. Meanwhile Coby helps build the main computer system, and Lori customizes the base with items for the kids. Out in space, Megatron decides he wants to return to Earth and find out what the Autobots are doing. Starscream says it's a waste of time, but Megatron insists Starscream join him. Back on Earth the Autobots activate their system just in time to detect Megatron and Starscream approaching the earth. Optimus, Hotshot, Vector Prime, and Jetfire head out to intercept the two Decepticons while Overhaul, Landmine, and the kids apply stealth coating to conceal the base. As the Autobots engage the Decepticons in battle, Starscream hits Jetfire, so Vector Prime decides to take on Megatron one on one. He fights him hoping to recover the map, but Megatron refuses. Hotshot transforms and shoots up at Starscream, but Starscream realizes they are being misled, informs Megatron, and the two Decepticons fly past. At the base, Scattershot checks the stealth coating progress and informs everyone that the Decepticons have broken through. Sector D is the only sector left uncoated, so Overhaul rushes over to finish it, but Scattershot fears it'll be to late. Outside Megatron is approaching the base when Vector Prime transports in front of him, cutting him off. Megatron transforms and begins to fight, so Vector Prime activates his Cyber Key and uses his tachyon shield. Vector Prime pushes Megatron back, and while Starscream is distracted, Hot Shot transforms and shoots him down. Seeing Megatron stunned, Optimus transforms and goes into Super Mode. He shoots Megatron, damaging the Decpticon leader, so Megatron calls for a swift retreat. At the base, Overhaul finishes the stealth coating just as the Decepticons retreat and everyone celebrates. Outside, Optimus, Hot Shot, and Jetfire ask Vector Prime what the light was that he used during the fight. Vector Prime informs them that Cyber Keys are a little power from Primus that they can activate, and then he activates their Cyber Key locks so they can access Cyber Key power in the future. | ||

Override explains that she does not know about the key and just wanted to race. Meanwhile, Bud and Scattershot are observing a battle from space and are hit by a stray missile, which knocks them into a freefall. On Speed Planet, Megatron orders Ransack and Crumplezone to find new information about the Planet Key. Back on Earth, the Autobots finally find out the whereabouts of Bud and Scattershot. Jetfire rushes to their rescue but a wayward satellite hits them and knocks them towards the atmosphere. Quick thinking by Jolt saves them both. It turns out Vector Prime had been teaching the Mini-Cons to create small dimension gates, and that got them back to base. Back on Speed Planet, Red Alert learns that the Cyber Keys on Speed Planet were all coloured red, different from the blue Cyber Keys of Earth.

Investigating Earth's ruins in the hope of finding out more about Atlantis and the Omega Lock, the Autobots head out to the Sahara Desert. There, Megatron destroys Vector Prime's Mini-Con friends, causing him to reveal his time turning abilities to save them. Megatron and Starscream take the Omega Lock but a missed shot from Thundercracker shatters it.

Bud gives them a quick swimming lesson. The Autobots locate the Atlantis pattern at the base of an undersea mountain. Vector Prime opens a door there and heads in to investigate with the Mini-cons and kids. Atlantis turns out to be a massive ancient Cybertronian spaceship that crash-landed into the sea. Megatron, Starscream, and Thundercracker have been tailing the Autobots, and soon the Autobots and Decepticons are battling outside the ship.

They seem close to saving the universe. | ||
| 14 | "Hero" | |
| In episode 13, Ship, Red Alert contacted the Autobots on Earth and asked for Optimus Prime to join them on Velocitron. Ransack and Crumplezone tricked Hot Shot and Dirt Boss into believing that a race between them would determine which of them would be allowed to race Override for the Planet Cup. During the race Ransack and Crumplezone caused a rockslide that buried Hot Shot, but he was saved when Optimus Prime, Vector Prime, and Landmine arrived. Hot Shot was almost killed in the landslide. After Hot Shot woke up, he thought he was useless to the mission. But Optimus eavesdropped on Hot Shot's conversation with Clocker. Although Optimus was upset that Hot Shot had become involved with the locals, Clocker and Brakedown were eager to help the Autobots. After being unable to obtain the Planet Cup from Override herself, Optimus endorsed Hot Shot's plan to win the cup in a race, with the other Autobots aiding him. Ransack and Crumplezone were contacted by Megatron and told to keep on eye on things, so they too decided to enter the race. They could win the cup or at least cause damage to the other racers. The qualification round started with Override, Dirt Boss, Ransack, Crumplezone, Optimus Prime, Hot Shot, Red Alert, Landmine, Clocker, and Brakedown participating. |

“Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
