A disappointed Optimus springs into action and engages his Cyber-Matrix to single-handedly defeat his foes!

THE FISH TEST

Sky-Byte is humiliated when he takes a fish personality test that labels him a spineless jellyfish. After learning that Scourge scored better than he did on the fist test, Sky-Byte attempts to embarrass his main rival by informing the Autobots of Scourge’s secret plan to steal power from a nearby plant. While the Autobots protect the targeted power plant, however, Scourge attacks another factory instead, humiliating Sky-Byte again. Intent on seeking revenge, Sky-Byte and the Predacons attempt to outdo Scourge and attack another plant but discover that the Decepticons are already there. The Autobots arrive just in time to chase both the Predacons and Decepticons away before the destruction of the plant.

WEDGE’S SHORT FUSE

Eager to battle the Predacons, Wedge makes a deal with Optimus that if the Build Masters build a tunnel to the Arctic, then Optimus must allow them to fight the Predacons, who are stealing diamonds from a mine in Antarctica. The naïve Build Masters, however, run right into a trap set by the Predacons. In an attempt to save his friends, Heavy Load offers the villains a disk containing the map of the Global Space Bridge and in return the Build Masters are released. While the Predacons and the Decepticons fight over the disk, Wedge happily discovers that the disk is a fake!

LANDFILL

The Decepticons sabotage the Transformer’s Cyber Net Tunnel by planting a corrupt hard drive into their terminal computer causing the Tunnel to eject the Autobots and the Bullet Trains in the wrong locations. It is all part of a master plan by Megatron to steal the energy from the Transformer’s Energy Facility. Fortunately for everyone, the Building Crew, headed by Wedge discover the scheme and rectify the problem. Together the building crew form the “Landfill,” a huge four Transformer robot, that proceeds to defeat Megatron and Scourge.

SKY-BYTE SAVES THE DAY

Sky-Byte seeks notoriety for the Predacons by attempting to destroy one of the city’s tallest buildings. Optimus and the Autobots, however, wrongly believe that Sky-Byte is actually holding the building’s visitors hostage in return for the Autobots powerful “O-parts.” While Sky-Byte is basking in his success, he accidentally breaks the building’s cables and is forced to keep the building from falling in order to receive the Autobots’ “O-parts.” Meanwhile, the hostages begin cheering when they mistakenly believe Sky-byte is trying to save them.

They also review the time when Scourge sabotaged the Global Space Bridge in his attempt to steal energy from the Northern Energy Research Facility.

THE TWO FACES OF ULTRA MAGNUS

Determined to eliminate Optimus Prime, Megatron orders Sky Byte to lure Ultra Magnus to their team so they could use his strenght to destroy his foe once and for all. Approached by Sky Byte, Ultra Magnus agrees to join the Decepticons but secretly plots to learn more about Megatron’s devious plans. Later, the Decepticons capture the Autobot Brothers and Optimus Prime. To Sky Byte’s surprise, Ultra Magnus saves the brothers and all three tackle the Decepticons who are battling Optimus Prime. Suddenly, a strange source of energy emerges from Ultra Magnus, energizing all the Autobots and granting them new strengths and abilities. Optimus Prime and Magnus combine to form OMEGA PRIME, and defeat the Decepticons.

POWER TO BURN

Unbeknownst to Ultra Magnus, he has boosted X-Brawn, Side burn and Prowl’s power after becoming a conduit for the Matrix in his last battle. Concerned that his estranged brother, now carrying the Matrix power, could fall prey to Megatron’s forces, Optimus Prime instructs the Autobot Brothers to follow him. Meanwhile, Scourge has convinced Megatron to allow him to recruit Ultra Magnus to their cause, when in reality, Scourge really wants Ultra Magnus’ help to eliminate Megatron so he can reign supreme. When Ultra Magnus refuses to join him, the Decepticons attack Side Burn, Prowl and Optimus Prime. Just as the heroes are being defeated, Ultra Magnus appears and joins Optimus Prime to become Omega Prime and defeat their foes once again.

FORTRESS MAXIMUS

Dr. Onishi uncovers a new power source at the newly discovered ancient ruins located under New City. After the Decepticons learn of the discovery, it becomes a race between the Decepticons and the Autobots to see who can get to the source first. Megatron believes that the ruins hold the key to the power needed to take over the universe and Optimus wants to investigate the power. Could the source be the link to the Autobot’s past?

KOJI GETS HIS WISH

The Autobots and Decepticons race to the ancient ruins to retrieve a mysterious power source. Scourge orders Sky Byte to secure the ruins but when Scourge arrives at the ruins he is confronted by Optimus Prime. Just when Scourge is about to defeat Optimus, Ultra Magnus appears and unites with his brother to become the almighty Omega Prime. It doesn’t take long for Omega Prime to send Scourge packing! Meanwhile, Sky Byte kidnaps Dr. Onishi and attempts to force him into revealing the true nature of the power. Unfortunately for Sky Byte, Koji and the Autobots arrive just in time to save Dr. Onishi and defeat the pesky Sky Byte.

A FRIENDLY CONTEST

Side Burn and his older Autobot Brothers use a detector to search the ruins for yet another O Part, one of the lost fragments of a mystical ring rumored to unlock a mysterious power source. Meanwhile, Sky Byte orders Slapper to steal the O Parts from the Autobots and replaces them with fake ones. Due to several mishaps, Sky Byte’s scheme fails miserably. Elsewhere, Wedge and Side Burn compete to see who can find the most of the missing fragments. In the midst of their competition, they are attacked by Megatron and his minions. Megatron kidnaps and holds Wedge hostage in exchange for Autobots’ O Parts. Just before Optimus surrenders his coveted keys, Ultra Magnus comes to the rescue and unites once again with Optimus to become Omega Prime and defeats their foes. Later, the O Parts are combined to create the legendary O Ring!

PERIL FROM THE PAST

When Dr. Onishi and the Autobots assemble the O Parts they have collected, a mysterious glowing globe suddenly appears and begins transmitting data. Tai links herself to the O Ring to collect its data. Tai, however, becomes trapped in the data stream which is connected to the Orb of Sigma, a mysterious globe buried in the Sahara Desert. The Autobots must travel to the desert to unite their O parts to the Orb to release Tai. The Deceptions, however, intercept the Autobots. Ultra Magnus combines with Optimus to form Omega Prime and once again defeat their foes. The heroes upload Tai and the Orb of Sigma into the Base computer. Dr. Onishi soon discovers that the Orb of Sigma is one of a series of keys that can unlock and activate the Fortress Maximus, a giant powerful robot. Back in the ruins, Megatron seemingly destroyed after the battle, revives to become the more powerful Galvatron!

MAXIMUS EMERGES

The Autobots locate Cerebros, the last key they need to activate Fortress Maximus, but it is immediately stolen by the Predicons and Decepticons. To the Predicons chagrin, they discover that the Fortress Maximus can only be controlled by Optimus. Scourge attempts to fool the robot since he had once scanned Optimus’ information and successfully activates Fortress Maximus. The robot, however, fails to follow Scourge’s orders and embarks on a furious rampage throughout the city. Autobots must find a way to stop the destructive robot while battling the Decepticons, Predicons, and Galvatron. The robot is finally stopped by Koji who reminds him that the robot is part of an Autobot. The enemies leave but not before taking the last key, Cerebros.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT

After the last battle, Scourge realizes that a human component is necessary in order to activate the Fortress Maximus. Luckily for Scourge, when he scanned Optimus information he had also scanned Kelly’s and now has human components in his system. He amplifies the human part of his bio-energy a hundred times and gains control of Fortress Maximus. Scourge orders the giant robot to destroy the Autobots and the robot obeys! Dr. Onishi deduces that he needs more human energy to control the robot. Team Bullet Train immediately collects kids from around the world to harness their energy. The Autobots prove victorious, as they are able to use the kids’ energy to stop the robot.

THE MYSTERY OF ULTRA MAGNUS

In an attempt to learn how to defeat Ultra Magnus and find his weaknesses, the Decepticons look at archival footage beginning with Magnus’s arrival on Earth. After looking at several segments from past episodes, Megatron realizes that the way to defeat the Autobots is to steal the Matrix from Optimus Prime.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

The Autobots become concerned that their enemies might kidnap Koji in order to use his energy to control the Fortress Maximus. Consequently, they forbid Koji from playing outside. Koji, however, desperate to go skateboarding convinces his friend Karl to swap their clothing. Fooled by Karl’s clothing, the Decepticons kidnap Karl and order him to call the robot. Using Karl, the Decepticons are able to order the robot to do their deeds. Koji and the Autobots appear and rescue Koji, defeating the Decepticons once again!

SURPRISE ATTACK

Galvatron and his thugs attack the Autobot’s headquarters. Their malicious assault, however, fails when Optimus lures Galvatron’s minions into a trap. The Autobot’s must then face Galvatron’s new weapon, which even Fortress Maximus might not be able to defeat!

GALVATRON’S REVENGE

While battling the Fortress Maximus, Galvatron manages to siphon the robot’s energy and morphs into an even more powerful foe. He sends mini Galvatrons around the world to gain control over kids with the plan to rule over future generations. Holding the children hostage, Galvatron orders Optimus and the Autobots to leave the planet or else the children will be harmed. Galvatron, however, has conjured up some other devious of crippling plan to destroy the Autobots. Has Galvatron won this time? Will he really take over the Earth and then the Universe?

THE FINAL BATTLE

Galvatron and the Autobots are in the midst of a battle when Ultra Magnus takes Optimus Prime to the Space Bridge to rest and re-energize. The two brothers agree to combine into Omega Prime in one last attempt to stop the powerful Galvatron. Omega, challenges Galvatron to a duel and convinces him to travel to the Earth’s core for their confrontation. Therefore, if Omega loses Galvatron will still be trapped underground forever! While Galvatron severely pummels Omega, Koji logs onto his computer and via the internets pleads with children across the world to send their computer energy to Fortress Maximus. The robot then sends the energy to Omega who defeats Galvatron. Galvatron and his minions are sent to a Cybertronian asteroid prison and the Autobots decide to make Earth their home!
