| 28 | "Critical" | |
| After being mowed down by Megatron, Hot Shot, Red Alert and Scattershot struggle for their lives. But just in the nick of time they activate a radar dish which sent a beam through the space bridge right to Cybertron redirected at the Omega Lock, sending golden waves that shines down on them and resurrects them into the Cybertron Defense Team. They scan new vehicle form to better combat the Decepticons. Optimus, Evac and Override head for Starscream and the Cybertron Defense team takes on Megatron and Scourge. | ||
| 29 | "Assault" | |
| Scattershot gives the kids and Mini-cons access to the base to monitor Optimus. A three-way battle unfolds between the Decepticons, the Autobots, and Starscream's forces. Crosswise was busy recapturing the entire monster Decepticons. The kids discover that a big red ball of something was on its way to Earth- directly to the island. Then, an Autobot warrior named Wing Saber appears. After looking at his files, it seems Wing Saber made a lot of code violations and even tried to attack Optimus once. Wing Saber said he came to Earth because of some signal. Vector Prime realized that the signal was emitted by the Omega Lock when the third Cyber Planet Key was placed in. Jetfire gives Wing Saber a vehicle form an A-10 Warthog. Seeing that the black hole's core had become unstable, Optimus sends the Cybertron Defense Team to check on it. Coby draws a road to the space bridge. Wing Saber battles Megatron, Scourge jumps into the volcano followed by Leobreaker. | ||
| 30 | "Starscream" | |
| As the Autobots descended further into the volcano, Sideways meets them in a faceoff. With him warping, Vector Prime attaches Safeguard to his back, so Optimus could have a clear shot. With the Autobots closing in, Starscream unleashes the Omega Lock's power and grows to a tremendous size. He adorns a crown from the lava, declaring himself "Emperor of the Universe". Vector Prime goes to retrieve the Omega Lock but gets trapped under rubble. Wing Saber rescues him but gets attacked by Thunderblast. Leaving her in the lava, they could head to Cybertron. Meanwhile, the Cybertron Defense Team is sent to check on Cybertron but they find it infested with hundreds of spider-like Transformers called Scrapmetal drones. Overpowered and outnumbered, the kids call Optimus to go to their aid. But he is punched by Starscream. | ||
| 31 | "United" | |
| Override, Evac and Leobreaker are sent to help the Cybertron Defense Team on Cybertron; Megatron's Decepticons follow as well as Thunderblast who joins Megatron. Wing Saber, wanting to link up with Optimus, reminds him of a mission in the Chaar asteroid belt. They were trying to save a man and had to get out of the asteroid belt. They linked up back-to-back, blasting every rock in their way. Unfortunately, Wing Saber slipped and almost didn't make it. Now they were facing the same event as Starscream uses his power to tear the earth apart to create a rock storm. Doing the same thing from Chaar, Optimus and Wing Saber avoid the boulders. Once out of the storm, they combined into Sonic Wing Mode. Going at the speed of light, Optimus avoided the rocks and overpowered Starscream. Sideways warped Starscream away and the Autobots headed to Cybertron. | ||
| 32 | "Cybertron" | |
| Override, Evac and Leobreaker were cut off from Cybertron and were cornered by the Decepticons. But charged by the Omega Lock, they head through the vortex. Megatron, Scourge and Thunderblast follow suit. Thundercracker spins out of control, Ransack and Crumplezone stay behind and Mudflap goes back to Earth. On Cybertron, the Defense Team had finally eradicated the Scrapmetal drones. Just then, the rescue team comes in but so does Megatron and Optimus. Megatron steals the Omega Lock but Optimus combines with Wing Saber, followed him into his fiery dimension. Retrieving the Omega Lock, Optimus told Vector Prime to create another dimension gate to seal Megatron's. But Megatron's armor of Unicron allows him to keep the gate open. The Autobots destroyed Megatron by combining the Omega Lock with Vector Prime's sword. They place the Omega Lock beamed to the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in the very core of Cybertron, but it triggers a reaction that seemingly begins to tear apart the planet! But when they retreat back to Cybertron's moons, they discover the planet was really transforming. They saw the creator who existed at the beginning of time, the Transformers' lord, Primus. | ||
| 33 | "Balance" | |
| The true form of Planet Cybertron is revealed as the planet-sized Transformer, Primus used as the device to connect and relay the messages of Primus, who begins to speak of things that have long since passed. When the Autobots destroyed Unicron, it caused a rip in time and space which created the black hole. Only he can shut it down. But first, the Autobots must find the last key to fully awaken him. Then, Primus showed images of the four Cybertronian ships heading towards planets. At the fourth one, once the ship reached it, it disappeared. Primus explained that the planet was caught in a wormhole and sucked into an alternate universe. Unfortunately, Primus's energy was spent because Starscream absorbed much of his spark. Before he rested, Primus told the Autobots about the fourth planet. It was Gigantian. But the Autobots didn't know they were being overheard by Sideways, who returns to a being-repaired Starscream. Vector Prime tells everyone that the fourth planet was where the Mini-cons came from. He shows an image of them in their ship, drifting in space. Jolt explain that they we're playing hide-and-seek. He also mentions that there aren't only small Transformers on the planet, but bigger ones. Meanwhile, the Decepticons were quarreling over who should be leader. Red Alert tried to scan Jolt's memory, which tickles him, but can't find anything. His size and mind is so complex, he seems more human than Transformer. Just then, the Autobots detected Decepticons approaching. During the battle, Scrapmetals blew up Crumplezone and Starscream fires at Primus's head. But everyone was astonished when the creator blocked the shot and activated his weapon systems. Blasting Starscream, the map flies into Vector Prime's hand. Just then, everyone sees a ghostly image of Megatron. In the command center, the kids see Sideways kidnap the Mini-cons. They follow him through a warp gate and end up in a strange place. | ||
| 34 | "Darkness" | |
| Megatron returns from the dead but is lost and confused when he sees a dark mist that surrounds him. He uses this mist to first swallow up a Scrap Metal and then to reformat Crumplezone in his own image. He then turns his attention to the Autobots who are somewhat confused as to why they can't destroy them. Leobreaker then realizes that the Decepticons have their fighting spirit back because of seeing Megatron. Meanwhile Safe Guard informs Vector Prime that he's lost contact with Jolt and the children. Optimus Prime sends Vector to investigate why they've lost contact with the mini-cons and the children. He checks the Skydome to find that there's no sign of a struggle or bodies. He then checks the surveillance monitor to find that Sideways has taken Jolt, Reverb, and Six-Speed. He relays a message to Optimus Prime who then asks about Bud, Coby, and Lori. Vector Prime tells Optimus Prime that the children have gone after Sideways. Leobreaker decides to engage Megatron alone and slices into the mist that surrounds the fallen leader but to Leobreaker's surprise Megatron is not dead but has been completely restored due to Unicron's armor. Megatron uses emotional manipulation and the dark side of Leobreaker's heart to create Nemesis Breaker. Nemesis Breaker and Leobreaker then begin a fierce battle which ends in Leobreaker going down. Optimus Prime tells Scourge that he's more concerned about Megatron than he is about him so he leaves Scourge in the middle of the battle feeling rather indignant. Back at the Skydome Red Alert asks Vector Prime if he's already checked the volcano where Starscream was last seen. Vector Prime informs both Red Alert and Scattershot that he had contacted Colonel Franklin on Earth and who has informed him that the volcano has already been cleaned out. Scattershot complains that he gave Coby a mini-communicator and wonders why he hasn't used it to communicate with them. Now in the floating room Coby and Bud are trying to retrieve their communicator so that they can relay a message to the Autobots but it's floating around and they are unable to catch it. Meanwhile the last fit battle between Dark Claw Megatron (Megatron link up with Nemesis Breaker) and Savage Claw Optimus Prime has begun but once the smoke had cleared Optimus realizes that the battle was a ruse that Megatron used to run away and head straight for the Omega Lock. | ||
| 35 | "Memory" | |
| As the battle rages on Primus, the kids find out they are in Atlantis again. Though crippled, Atlantis maintained a minimal atmosphere. Floating through the air vent, the kids came upon the control centre, where Sideways was trying to extract information on Gigantian from Jolt. Unfortunately, he has too much information in his brain and decided to make him a mindless zombie by removing data not on Gigantion. Starscream heads off to get the Omega Lock. Tired of stuff floating around, Sideways turns on the artificial gravity generator and the ship stabilizes. But then after hearing Bud's scream, he does the "Jack and the Beanstalk" thing. The kids slid down a tunnel and almost fell into a fire pit. They were running away from Sideways when Coby purposefully drops his communicator, projecting a holographic image of Megatron. Voicing for Megatron, Coby said to Sideways that he should surrender to the Autobots, hop on one foot and say: "I'm a pretty lady". But his trick was exposed and again they start running. After managing to trap Sideways under rubble, the kids rescue Six-Speed and Reverb. Meanwhile, Starscream forces Thunderblast to steal the Omega Lock for him or he'll blast her to smithereens. Back on Atlantis, the others rescued Jolt and were going to disable the EMS (Electro-magnetic Shield) surrounding the ship when Sideways appears in front of them. | ||
| 36 | "Escape" | |
| The kids and the Mini-cons managed to get away from Sideways thanks to Jolt. But in a tunnel in direction of the shield controls, they are once again cornered by Sideways who put up a warp shield to prevent Jolt from opening dimension gates. Luckily, after distracting Sideways with "Oh there's Megatron. No, its Optimus Prime", Coby blinds him with Atlantis' fire extinguisher. Running into the engine room, they figure out Sideways had put Atlantis back together. They then set a trap. Meanwhile, Mudflap was wandering the Earth not knowing who to join. Lugnutz wonders what happened to Starscream. Back on Primus, Thunderblast was having a hard time getting the Omega Lock, so she calls for Starscream's help. Yet he was driven off by the Autobots and Thunderblast chooses not to take the Omega Lock. In Atlantis, the kids cause an explosion in the engine room and sent Sideways down the garbage chute to hit a piece of machinery. Since he put up the warp shield, even he can't warp. Once he's out, he gets hit by a machine. The kids then disabled the Electro-Magnetic Shield to contact the Autobots. Vector Prime, Red Alert and Scattershot went to get them, followed by Ransack, Crumplezone, Nemesis Breaker and Megatron. Starscream returned and set the ship to warp. The kids took the escape pods but one containing Bud, Jolt and Reverb was still in the warp field after bumping into a dazed Sideways. Atlantis warped away, taking everyone inside its field including Ransack and Crumplezone. Coby swore to find Bud and the others. | ||
| 37 | "Family" | |
| The Autobots search the entire universe for the Atlantis star ship but it's nowhere to be found. Vector Prime explains that the wormhole can only be entered by the Mini-cons and the children, because they have flexible minds; however, Red Alert says that Vector Prime's sword and Optimus's Matrix can stabilize the wormhole to allow other Transformers in. On Earth, Landmine convinces Mudflap to rejoin the Autobots. In order to rescue Bud, Jolt and Reverb, Coby and Lori decide to go to Giant Planet. Before leaving, they try to tell their families about the Transformers, but their families don't believe them, even when Colonel Franklin and Professor Suzuki show up. Optimus, Vector Prime, Landmine and Six-speed reveal themselves. Optimus assures the children's families that they will be safe. The next day, everything is ready. Lori's mother has cooked some rations for the trip. The Autobots and the kids head off to the wormhole. | ||
| 38 | "Titans" | |
| Bud and the Mini-cons leave a trail of breadcrumbs (iron boxes) marked with the Autobots' insignia so the Autobots can find them. They were lucky that Jetfire and Wing Saber were able to find their trail, but a battle with Megatron has Sideways warp away Atlantis. After Jetfire and Wing Saber left, a mysterious being named Soundwave and his bird partner Laserbeak tells Megatron he knows where the Giant Planet was. Primus tries to use his spark energy to stabilize the black hole for a little while but Starscream interferes by throwing himself into Primus's stabilizing beam, this causes him to grow to planet size. He then decides to take on Primus. Activating the shields, it bought the Autobots time to restore the energy flow to all the body parts of Primus on time, re-activating him. Even with only 3 Cyber Planet Keys, Primus easily beat up and ravaged Starscream, using Cybertron's two moons as wrecking balls to send him into his old giant state. Sideways bring Starscream in the warp field and Vector Prime reveals that he found the location of the Giant Planet. | ||
| 39 | "Warp" | |
| Coby was working on a damaged Scrapmetal drone when Optimus assured him that they will rescue Bud. The Autobots learn that the gate to Gigantion could cause the result of their minds leaving their bodies. Luckily, Red Alert had made a vaccine based on technology from Vector Prime's sword to protect the Autobots. Override had brought a spaceship that looks a lot like the Atlantis to make the journey. But it was called the Aegea, the Cybertronian ship that brought the first Transformers to Velocitron. It was thought a legend until Clocker and Brakedown rediscovered it. Coby and Lori realized that ancient lost continents on Earth. The Autobots were applied the vaccine but Jetfire stay away. He offered to stay behind to protect Primus and Omega Lock. But the creator himself contacted them that he will do it. The Autobots head through the space-time warp tunnel but got attacked by the Atlantis. They couldn't even return fire with Bud on board. Falling into a hole that would trap them in a limbo, Coby reroutes all of the weapon power to the main engines. Then a huge rock was in their way and with all the weapons systems diverted to main engines, they couldn't even blast their way through. On the Atlantis, Bud and the Mini-Cons sabotaged the engines to slow down Starscream. The Autobots burned a hole in the rock, but Coby got electrocuted. When he came to, they were on the other side of the rift. Meanwhile, far ahead, Soundwave brings Megatron right to Gigantion. | ||
| 40 | "Giant" | |
| Optimus and the Autobots advance to Giant Planet in the starship Aegea. On the way, there is a reaction on the thermal sensors of the radar, which reveals the presence of a planet. After finding Gigantion, they find that massive cities on the surface and those bits of the planet were torn off and made to form a ring. Searching the entire city, Safeguard brings them to a rock blocking an underground tunnel. After scratching and blasting, the Kids and the Mini-Cons found a station that has been abandoned. Safeguard explains that the people of Gigantion build cities then abandon them. Once again searching, Scattershot found huge tremors that lead the Autobots right to a construction site. One of the workers accidentally dropped a big girder which was crushed Landmine. Then a big Transformer came in and saved him. Introducing himself as Metroplex, the Autobots ask him about the Cyber Planet Key. Metroplex's friend Quickmix says that the Key is at the center of the planet. Unfortunately, no one can go back to the abandoned cities and the Autobots must respect their traditions. Suddenly, while the Autobots are trying to motivate Metroplex and Quickmix to help them retrieve the Cyber Planet Key of Giant Planet, a worker came in saying that a miscreant named Menasor was wreaking havoc. It was then revealed that Menasor had joined Megatron, hoping to get better respect from the Decepticon Leader. During a battle, Metroplex went against Megatron and used his buzz saw to send Megatron down three levels and Nemesis Breaker into smoke. The Decepticons retreat and Metroplex and Quickmix join the Autobots. Tradition or no tradition, they couldn't let Megatron get his hands on the Key. |
