| 41 | "Fury" | |
| The Autobots search all over the abandoned cities for the un-erased data on the Cyber Planet Key. Megatron, angered and humiliated after his fight with Metroplex, puts up all his rage by turning into a ghostly form and heads down through the planet's crust. He then finds the Giant Planet Key and tries to take it. Unsuccessful, he emerges, with a black aura surrounding him. With his new power, he easily defeats all the Autobots one by one with no effort. As his aura disappears, he renames himself Galvatron. However, he is defeated by Optimus (by using Metroplex's axe and activating Giant Planet's Cyber Key). With the data recovered by Coby and Lori, the Autobots scout the planet in Aegea and find Atlantis in a newly created fissure in one of Giant Planet's abandoned cities. | ||
| 42 | "City" | |
| The Autobots find Atlantis and begin an assault. Starscream sends out Sideways to fight them all alone. In the cargo hold, Bud, Reverb and Jolt hear a strange noise in the vents. Suddenly, a Scrapmetal came out of it. It opened its canopy, revealing Coby at the controls. Soundwave takes Sideways out the battle while Starscream diverted all power from the engines to the weapons. Luckily, Quickmix managed to spray a lot of instant cement on the Atlantis, trapping Starscream. On Aegea, Coby shows off his Scrapmetal drone suit by transforming it. Though everything was intact, the weapon systems were disabled due to the fact that they were too dangerous. Optimus gives Coby's suit an Autobot insignia with wrenches slashed across. Meanwhile, Soundwave reminds Sideways of something and Galvatron sends his Decepticons to find the Key. The Autobots find that there are four tunnels leading down to the underground and number four is blocked. They once again split up. Lori, Override and Wing Saber are Team 1. Jetfire, Snarl and Leobreaker are Team 2. Team 3 is Cybertron Defense Team. And Team 4 is Optimus, Vector Prime, Metroplex, the Mini-cons and Bud. Landmine, Evac, Coby and Quickmix stay as the backup team. After clearing the way, Team 4 find one of the underground cities with a holographic sky. Ransack and Crumplezone then come in and snatched Jolt, knowing the Autobots won't fire on them. Then Coby shows up and says "Cobybot transform" for his suit. He then throws a ball full of Quickmix's instant cement to trap them. Crumplezone tosses Jolt who is saved by Evac. Optimus gets rid of the gruesome two some with Metroplex's axe. | ||
| 43 | "Ambush" | |
| Jetfire, Leobreaker and Snarl jump down a hole while Lori, Override and Wing Saber run into Scourge and Thunderblast. Lori snaps at Scourge for abandoning his planet. Scourge tries to make excuses but is cut off by Thunderblast who taunts Lori for being a mouse. Lori gets angry and challenges her, but Thunderblast tricks her and flees. Lori forces Wing Saber to chase after her while Override and Scourge battle to see who is the best planet leader. Meanwhile, Jetfire fights Thundercracker with his new moves while Leobreaker and Snarl search for the Key. Thunderblast leads Wing Saber and Lori across a city right to the water, her natural environment. Lori takes control of the cranes and pins Thunderblast down, then Wing Saber blasts her away. Meanwhile, Jetfire and Thundercracker become seriously damaged. Then the backup team arrives. Coby checks on Jetfire while Quickmix cements Thundercracker. Override and Scourge are still having their fight when Lori comes in and a missed shot from Scourge's axe makes the wall crumble and fall on Lori. Wing Saber saves her but in the confusion, Scourge escapes. He tries to make up an excuse that he was just retreating to fight another day as the elevator closes. Lori kicks a piece of the wall which slides in and a strange device rises from the floor. It projects Gigantion's universe in ancient times. A red planet with two golden rings forming an X descends on Gigantion. Swarms of Sideways, Laserbeak and Soundwave then began invading. | ||
| 44 | "Challenge" | |
| Primus does the best he can as the black hole expands even further and the crisis approaches Jungle Planet. Ransack and Crumplezone get blasted away by Optimus. Sideways and Soundwave were discovered by the Cybertron Defense Team and decided to tell them of why they are searching for the Key. They were last survivors of an advanced world called Planet X. When the planet was running out of power, they chose to live on Gigantion. The inhabitants didn't like invaders and knew they were going to be defeated. So they used the Cyber Planet Key to super-size them and their planet to combat the invasion. When Planet X was fought to a stand still, they used their technology to make more dangerous weapons. In the end, they unleashed cannon so powerful that even they couldn't control it. The result destroyed their planet. Now the survivors were going to find the Cyber Planet Key to get revenge. Hot Shot protests that Planet X attacked first. Soundwave counters saying that they will feel the same when Cybertron is destroyed. Laserbeak clouds the Defense Team in smoke that even light couldn't pierce. Red Alert was being hit by multiple copies of Sideways, Hot Shot hears all Autobots saying it was because of him they failed and Scattershot was being confused by two Hot Shots (Right hands were only seen) and decided to quiz on what happened with Jetfire before they entered the space-time hole. The Hot Shot on the left was blasted because it didn't happen and thought it was funny. With the smoke cleared up, the Defense Team blasted the X two. Leobreaker and Snarl wager the leader's throne and challenge Scourge. Scourge was the winner and there was no sign of Leobreaker or Snarl. Meanwhile, Sonic Wing Mode Optimus blasted Ransack and Crumplezone yet again. Override and Lori show up to tell them all about Planet X. | ||
| 45 | "Scourge" | |
| Although winner of the fight, Scourge's emotion causes him to hesitate when he keeps thinking about Leobreaker's words. The backup team found Leobreaker and Snarl. Meanwhile, Teams 1 and 4 where going to head down their two last levels while Bud led the Mini-cons. When they exited, they found pictographs of Mini-cons. Lori accidentally pushed a wall tile and Bud and the Mini-cons fell down a shaft. Metroplex explains the tunnel is for Mini-cons. Elsewhere, the Cybertron Defense Team encountered Galvatron and Menasor. Down below, Bud and the Mini-cons land in Microcity, a city built for Mini-cons that was abandoned eons ago. While exploring the museum, Jolt explain that after the war with Planet X, the building were hard to do so some of the Transformers remodeled themselves into smaller forms and their brains were reconfigured to match that of a human. After exploring the park and were heading to the amusement park, they found the city trashed. They run into Scourge who Bud teaches him good leadership skills. The Autobots arrive and Scourge demanded to challenge them. After taking a hard beating from Metroplex and Vector Prime, Sonic Wing Mode Optimus made a slice at him. Falling down, Scourge wanted to be left alone. Meanwhile, the Cybertron Defense Team bested Menasor but was beaten by Galvatron. | ||
| 46 | "Optimus" | |
| Starscream manages to break out of Atlantis. Teams 1 and 4 had reached the center of Gigantion, an organic place, and head to Lumeria, the starship where the Cyber Planet Key was. They are then ambushed by Galvatron and Menasor. Metroplex goes to fight with the rebel while Optimus fights Galvatron. Not wanting to risk linking up with Wing Saber, Optimus decides to fight Galvatron without any help. Menasor defeats Metroplex and was about to finish the job when Drillbit and Heavyload stepped in the way. Metroplex convinces Menasor that the Decepticons are evil. Meanwhile, Landmine, Coby and Quickmix went searching for the Key while Override and Evac face Galvatron. Optimus was still in denial when Vector Prime literally punched sense into him. He trusts his team as well they trust him. The backup team finds the Cyber Planet Key and are suddenly attacked by Starscream who pushes Quickmix at a wall. Landmine invokes the power of the Cyber Planet Key to enlarge himself to combat Starscream. In the end, he uses his Cyber Tempest to throw Starscream through the ceiling. Optimus uses Metroplex's axe to defeat Galvatron. Once Landmine gives him the Key, he shrinks back to normal size. The Autobots had the Key and were ready to head back to the surface. | ||
| 47 | "Showdown" | |
| Starscream, battered from his battle with Landmine, recovers. The Autobots insert the Giant Planet Key into the Omega Lock and suddenly, it deactivates Gigantion's anti-warp field. The roof from each city opens up to reveal the Space Bridge in the real sky. They are then contacted by Colonel Franklin who says that Primus can't hold the black hole off for long. Scourge comes in and accompanied by Snarl, head off to save the Jungle Planet. Galvatron arrives to take the Omega Lock. When he succeeds, Starscream fights him battle for possession of the Omega Lock. Starscream shows an ability of his to change the mass and weight of his body. Though the Autobots try to intervene, Soundwave and Sideways get in their way. The two most powerful Decepticons unleash a powerful blast of energy that sends the Autobots running for cover. As the smoke clears up, Galvatron is the victor and Starscream, Sideways and Soundwave had disappeared. Galvatron heads through the Space Bridge followed by his henchmen. Vector Prime speculates that Starscream, Sideways and Soundwave were sent into another dimension. The Autobots and kids notice that the Space Bridge is disintegrating. | ||
| 48 | "Guardian" | |
| The Autobots who were not able to return to their original dimension because of the collapse of the Space Bridge so they attempt to artificially create a Space Bridge of their own with the power of the three Cybertronian ships. After digging out Atlantis and building their Space Bridge Generator, they were successful in creating a bridge. Suddenly, swarms of Laserbeaks came out of them. Outnumbered, Vector Prime had no choice but to destroy the generator. Once he did, the Laserbeaks vanished. Their only other option was to go through the time-space tunnel but it only opens every year. But Vector Prime could use his time powers to send them back to when the tunnel didn't close and when they came to this universe. Jolt interrupts, saying that it could work but the power used will cost Vector Prime his life! Vector Prime was willing to make the sacrifice. When he was traveling the time stream into the future, he found that the black hole had ended time itself. Still, Optimus would not let him make the sacrifice. Vector Prime explains that he had seen cataclysms and wars beyond the reach of time. Even if he is gone, he will still exist as long as time still runs. The Autobots got Lumeria and Atlantis up and running. Vector Prime said good-bye to the Mini-cons and Safeguard. As the three ships are beamed through time to the tunnel they encountered past Aegea. At the end of the tunnel, they watch as Vector Prime's body is pulled atom by atom. Saluting him, they head off for Cybertron. | ||
| 49 | "Homecoming" | |
| The Autobots split up to find Galvatron. When they returned to Primus, they found he was in the state of recharging. Earth was having major storms and meteor showers sending Jetfire and Evac to help. Elsewhere, Galvatron was using his power to control the black hole. On Velocitron, roads were collapsing so Override goes to save the inhabitants. On the Jungle Planet, it was pulled through the space bridge by a powerful force. The Autobots used Primus to create a bridge to evacuate everyone. But the storms were causing it to fall. Leobreaker set out in Aegea to save them. Down below, Scourge was willing to stay behind. Snarl tries to snap some sense into him and Scourge's raw emotion cause the temple to break up into the spaceship, Hyperborea. On Velocitron, Override brought everyone to help out. On Earth, the Autobots were helping the citizens while Evac and Crosswise head to the North Pole. Meanwhile, the black hole had swallowed the Jungle Planet. Evac and Jetfire brought every Autobots including the Earth Decepticons. Once everyone was together, Primus' power merges the four ships into the Ark. | ||
| 50 | "End" | |
| The Autobots confront Galvatron to take the Omega Lock and Planet Keys. However, Galvatron is drawing out the power of the Planet Keys and used it to make his remaining Decepticon troops to grow in size and power. In the midst of the battle between the Transformer forces, the Leaders of each planet face Galvatron. Galvatron uses the Keys to grow and explains his plan to use the black hole to destroy the universe and remake it in his own design. Furious to learn that Galvatron's ambition allowed him to disregard even his own comrades, all the 5 leaders fought and defeated Galvatron together with the combined power of their Cyber Keys. Galvatron sent the Omega Lock and Planet Keys hurtling into the Black Hole in an effort to have it implode everything. The Autobots saw the Planet Keys and the Omega Lock scattered. Each leader got their respective Keys and Optimus heads for the Omega Lock with Coby guiding him. Once Optimus got the Lock, he heard Vector Prime's voice. The Lock and Keys heads for Primus and awakened him. Primus then used the power to destroy the Black Hole using the Ark's main cannon, eliminating the disaster once and for all. Primus transforms back into Cybertron itself, as a beautiful planet with cities, vegetation, roads and atmosphere. Meanwhile, Galvatron's minions abandoned their allegiance to him. On Earth, the kids are reunited with their families. | ||
| 51 | "Unfinished" | |
| On Cybertron, Optimus can't help but wonder. Galvatron was encouraged by Starscream to continue fighting, (although Starscream was in his imagination). The Autobots built rocket engines to move Jungle Planet back to where it was. Galvatron damaged the rocket boosters, and then challenged Optimus Prime in the command center to a final battle. The Autobots attempted to salvage the situation, along with the remaining Decepticons (after they were free from Galvatron) who arrived to lend them a hand. Meanwhile, both Optimus Prime and Galvatron were ravaged from each other's attacks. Galvatron uses an energy scimitar to cut down one of Optimus Prime's wings, causing serious damage. The ghost of Vector Prime appears before Optimus Prime and urged him not to lose this battle, also lending him the power of his own sword. Using the matrix of leadership, Optimus powers up into a golden mode similar to that of the planet leaders. Optimus Prime and Galvatron battle it out, using their swords. Optimus Prime uses the sword to destroy Galvatron. Galvatron mumbled his last words before he disintegrated, signaling his death. | ||
| 52 | "Beginning" | |
| Representatives of each planet have successively gathered together on Cybertron. The first Space Peace Conference opens with Optimus Prime. Colonel Franklin suggests hiding the Keys and the Omega Lock. Optimus Prime makes a proposal for the construction plan of a new space bridge that would connect the entire universe. All the representatives agreed to the proposal, and the project began. Optimus Prime, who wishes to take part in the project, made Jetfire the new leader of the Autobots. Override passed leadership over to Hot Shot, who won a race despite his weight and size, desiring to take part on the new Space Bridge project as she wanted to race on new planets. Evac and the Earth Decepticons too wanted to go on the project, leaving Crosswise in charge of Earth. Scourge who was unable to find someone who is able to defeat him and become the new leader of Jungle Planet, sent Leobreaker, Undermine and Brimstone on the project instead. Metroplex and the inhabitants of Giant Planet went on the Space Bridge project. A new journey thus begins with the Cybertronian ships heading to the four corners of the universe. Thunderblast, Crumplezone and Ransack become Decepticons again and dragged Thundercracker along with them. In the ending credits, Coby and Lori married while Bud won an Oscar. Colonel Franklin and Dr. Suzuki are also married, with one child and another on the way. Starscream also emerges from his Inferno dimension and is immediately tracked down by Landmine, Mudflap, and Wing Saber. The outcome of the battle is unknown, and the agents of Planet X live on elsewhere. Jetfire is seen giving orders and pointing at something in a room full of screens. Also, Galvatron and Vector Prime are both shown to be alive and dueling in a purgatory type setting. With the four Transformer worlds at peace, the heroes bid farewell to old friends and embark upon a whole new adventure. As the humans wave off the mighty Cybertronian ships, the human heroes from the past two shows, Carlos, Rad, Alexis, and Kicker, now each 10 years older than in Energon, are seen in the crowd. |

Famous quotes containing the words fourth, story and/or episodes:
“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
