'''The Autobots split up to head for the inner layers of Gigantion, and Coby reveals his latest creation.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Cyb_ep41_enter_cobybot.jpg|left|thumb|220px]]
With the discovery of the crashed ''[[Atlantis]]'' on [[Gigantion]], [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] gathers the [[Autobot]]s on the bridge of the ''[[Ogygia]]'' in order to formulate a plan to finally rescue [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] and the [[Mini-Con]]s, who have long been trapped on the ancient starship.

Onboard the ''Atlantis'', [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] comes to, and is chewed out by [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. When the Autobots attack, Starscream declares he's still weakened, and sends Sideways out to handle the intruders. Sideways plays it up all loyal in front of Starscream ("''Oui, mon capitan!''"), but as soon as he's alone, he starts bitching. He heads outside and battles Optimus Prime and [[Wing Saber]], unaware that the combined Autobots are serving as a distraction while [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] and the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] infiltrate the ''Atlantis'' by ground. This quartet are not the first to get on board, however, as Bud, [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]] and [[Reverb (Cybertron)|Reverb]] discover when they hear an ominous rumbling in the ship's ventilation system. Before long, the creature bursts out of a vent and reveals itself to be a [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]], but when the trio try to run, they find it's not an ordinary Scrapmetal... it's one piloted by Bud's brother [[Coby Hansen|Coby]], who has come to their rescue!

[[Image:Cyb_ep41_concrete.jpg|right|thumb|220px]]

Outside, Optimus fires a Cyber-Key-enhanced blast at Sideways, but [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] arrives and yanks him out of the way. Starscream mutters that once again, he's the only one he can trust, and begins pressing keys. The Autobots soon feel the effect of Starscream's machinations outside, as the ship begins rumble as they are reunited with Bud and the Mini-Cons. Optimus notes it's too damaged to fly, but [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]], who's been taking readings, notes that that's not the problem: Starscream is powering up the main guns using the engines' power. [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]] arrives, snarling that he's not about to let some "ratchet-headed offworlder" destroy any city, and with the aid of his Mini-Con partner [[Stripmine]], he begins pumping untold amounts of quick-drying cement that covers the entire ship and starts filling the crevice. His plans foiled, trapped and out of power, Starscream can do little more than profane.

[[Image:Cyb_ep41_cobybot.jpg|left|thumb|220px |MASTERFORCE!!!]]

Back on the ''Ogygia'', thanks are exchanged, and both Bud and Lori ask Coby when he's going to build each of ''them'' a giant robot. Coby apologizes for only having parts enough for one, and then goes on to show everyone what else the machine can do, transforming it into the [[Cobybot]]! Optimus sees Scattorshot's hand in the robot, but Scattorshot claims he didn't do ''that'' much of the work, and notes that the 'bot hasn't got any onboard weapons systems for safety. Optimus approves, and places an Autobot [[insignia]] on the Cobybot's shoulder-armor, telling Coby that from now on, when he changes modes, he should psyche himself up by shouting "TRANSFORM!" There is laughter all around, but Prime has to regretfully bring the merriment to an end so that the Autobots can put a plan to recover the [[Cyber Planet Key]] in motion. Using the data drive Coby had previously found, Scattorshot discovers there are four main routes to the central layer, but with no way to tell which one is the quickest, the Autobots decide to split up into teams to cover them all. A backup team remains on the ''Ogygia'' just in case.

Back in the normal universe, Primus carefully rations his energy, firing periodic blasts to keep the [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] from expanding too much. Across the galaxy, on [[Velocitron]], [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]] and [[Earth]], familiar faces look up at the [[space bridge]]s in the sky, and at the images of the black hole menacingly hovering above them...

[[Image:RansackCrumpleKidnap.jpg|right|220px|thumb|ARE WE LIVE??]]

On Gigantion, there's activity all around the planet. In one location, Sideways thanks Soundwave for saving his bacon, and Soundwave reminds him that they have a purpose for being here... in another, the Decepticons buff up Galvatron's armor, before he orders them all to depart and search for the Cyber Planet Key... and in yet another, the team consisting of Optimus Prime, [[Vector Prime]], [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]], Bud and the Mini-Cons have come across a giant pile of scrap blocking the way. Bud and Jolt crawl through a small hole, and set off charges to let the larger bots in. Jolt checks the map-box strapped to his back, and they carry on... unaware that they're being followed by [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]]. The Autobots come across a big door, and Metroplex forces it open... revealing an entire city under a bright daylight sky. Optimus is befuddled, as they're supposed to be underground, but Metroplex and Jolt inform him it's all an illusion set up by the ceiling above. Jolt is about to check the map when he's snatched by Ransack and Crumplezone, who give themselves an overly-extended intro, then start leaping from rooftop to rooftop, playing hot potato with the Mini-Con, who can't fly with the map strapped to his back. Optimus and Vector give chase, but can't shoot out of fear of hitting Jolt, so Bud calls Coby in for help.

[[Image:Cyb_ep41_angry_optimus.jpg|left|thumb|220px]]

On the ''Ogygia'', Coby preps his Cobybot, and Quickmix gives him... something. Coby assures the Autobots he can handle those two "sprocket-heads" by himself, and hovers off at speed to back Optimus's team up, arriving just as the two Decepticons start shooting down chunks of the false sky. Coby makes a suitably dramatic entrance, transforming his mech (with the appropriate "''Cobybot, TRANSFORM!!!''" and stock-footage sequence, earning a thumbs-up from the Primes and Metroplex) and hurling a steel ball at the two Decepticons, which breaks open and sprays some stuff at their feet. The two 'Cons laugh it off, until they realize they're stuck, thanks to Quickmix's super-fast-drying cement. Optimus Prime approaches the two menacingly, demanding Jolt back, and Crumplezone tosses the Mini-Con over his shoulder, hoping to send Prime after him... but Jolt is caught by [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]], leaving Prime free to deal with the troublemakers. Metroplex then tosses Optimus the [[Sparkdrinker]], which stock-footages the two Decepticons far, far away.

After the brief battle, the team regroups, and Optimus thanks the backup team for coming along. He tells Coby he needs more 'bots like him on his team, which Bud takes his cue to again pester Coby to build ''him'' a robot suit.

==Quotes==
"Awww, man, never mix [[Energon (fuel)|energon]] and... huh?!"
:—'''Sideways''', returning from unconsciousness

"I'm still too drained to go and fight them. Sideways! Get rid of them!" 
''"Oui, mon capitan!"''
:—'''Starscream''' is given the Napoleonic treatment by '''Sideways'''

"Aw, man, I always knew you'd rescue me! I just never dreamed you'd do it in such a cool way!" 
"Huh? You don't think I'm cool?" 
"Not ''that'' cool."
:—'''Bud''' and '''Coby'''

"Och, it's just a door. Do ye not have ''doors'' where ye come from?"
:—'''Metroplex''' pooh-poohs the grandeur

'''Ransack''': "It's the terrible twosome!" 
'''Crumplezone:''' "The masters of disaster!" 
'''Ransack''': "Barons of bad!!''" "
'''Crumplezone:''' "Dukes of doom!" 
'''Together:''' "The villaaaaaaaaains from Velocitron! *pause* (We're not done)" 
'''Crumplezone:''' "My name's Crumplezone, and this is my partner..." 
'''Together:''' "Ransack!" 
'''Ransack:''' "How's ''that'' for an entrance?" 
'''Optimus:''' "It stinks."

"Why us, Ransack?" 
"It's the Wheel of Fate, my friend." 
"''It ran right over us!''"
:—'''Ransack''', '''Crumplezone''', then the two of them together

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Galaxy Force''===
*''Galaxy Force'' includes a "previously on" segment that summarizes the final seconds of "[[Fury]]".
*In ''Cybertron'', Coby makes a disappointed face upon his reunion with Bud because his brother doesn't think he's cool. In ''Galaxy Force'', the look is because Bud is not happy to see him, but rather, happy at the prospect of eating some real food other than the emergency rations he's been surviving on.
*In ''Galaxy Force'', Starscream is not powering up the ''Atlantis'''s guns, but instead setting the deck to explode.
*In ''Cybertron'', Hot Shot suggests picking a random tunnel, and his idea is shot down by Override. In ''Galaxy Force'', he is asking why they don't just use the crevice Galvatron tore in the previous episode, and Override points out that they just filled it with concrete.
*The very next lines of dialogue are also different: in ''Cybertron'', Vector Prime recommends splitting up into four teams, Hot Shot inquires what they would do if one team was attacked, and Optimus Prime suggests putting together a fifth back-up team as a precaution. Conversely, ''Galaxy Force'' has Vector Prime explain how Galvatron became discorporeal and travelled underground that way (as seen in the previous episode), suggesting the Autobots find a way to separate their sparks from their bodies to replicate the effect, Hot Shot gets freaked out at the notion, and Optimus Prime decides that they should just split up into four teams (with no mention of a backup team until the rosters are being called out a minute later).
*In ''Galaxy Force'', Optimus Prime's team simply marvels at the underground city, while Jolt is given pause to think about the waste of resources it represents. In ''Cybertron'', most of the conversation is given over to explaining the technology behind the presence of a sky over their heads.

===Animation or technical errors===
* When Bud and the Mini-Cons come to, Reverb's arm is in the shot, but he's missing the entire truck-bed/wheel portion of it.

* Jolt's propeller spins when he bows in thanks to Optimus. In order to do this, it clips through the tail-rudder sticking out of his butt. This is not by any means the only time this occurs in the series, but it is a rare instance of us actually getting to ''see'' it doing so.

* When Override transforms when the teams roll out, it honestly looks like she lands ''right on top'' of Lori.

* For being unable to move thanks to having his foot cemented to the floor, Ransack's supposedly-cemented foot sure does move a lot.

===Continuity errors===
[[Image:Cyb_ep41_rarely_seen_rifle.jpg|right|thumb]]
* When discussing the Cobybot, Scattorshot is carrying the long blue rifle that comes with his toy. The error in question here is that it proceeds to vanish after this shot, but really, it's more notable that he's got it ''at all'', because this is one of a very small number of times that the rifle ever appears in the show when he's in robot mode, the first being in "[[Assault]]".

===Transformers references===

*Coby was seen re-engineering the Scrapmetal that became his "Cobybot" in "[[Warp]]". Though not explicitly stated, it's obvious that it was the secret cargo he was seen loading in the same episode, and which was referred to again in "[[Giant]]".
* Just as Hot Shot did back in "[[Family]]", Bud refers to Optimus Prime as "Big Bot", originally used by ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] as a nickname for [[Optimus Primal]].
* When the Cobybot first transforms to robot mode, it does so with the classic [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] transformation noise (and no stock footage, either!)

===Real-world references===
* Sideways' squeak of "mother!" when Optimus fires his Key-enhanced blast recalls cartoon legend Daffy Duck, who would frequently squeak out "mother!" right before something horrible happened to him.

* Part of the Velocitron duo's extended intro involves the line "My name's Crumplezone, and this is my partner Ransack!". This is word-for-word (aside from names, of course!) the introduction comedian-magicians [[wikipedia:Penn_&_Teller|Penn & Teller]] use, with the big guy (Penn/Crumplezone) introducing the little guy (Teller/Ransack). The only difference is that Ransack joins in to say his name, while Teller is never seen to talk.

===Trivia===
* This is the first time we see any connection between Sideways and Soundwave, though right now there's still little explaining Sideways' ultimate motive...
* With this episode, Bud joins Coby and Lori in donning a new set of clothes. As before, ''Cybertron'' doesn't explain where the clothes come from, while ''Galaxy Force'' explained, back in "Family", that they had been packed by Lori's mother.

'''Deathsaurus's fortress lives again, and not even the Autobots seem able to stand in its way!'''

:''Omni Productions dub name:'' "'''The Space City Has Come Back to Life'''"
:''Also known as:'' "'''The Resurrection of the Space Fortress'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Victory36 goryubighead.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Timothy Leary's Transformers]]
With the energy of [[Atlantis]] in their clutches, [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] and the [[Breastforce]] head to the [[Dark Nebula]] aboard the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' in order to liberate the [[Emperor of Destruction]]'s [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. On [[Earth]], [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] has already deduced that this is the villain's plan, and dispatches the [[Brainmaster]]s as an advance unit to chase down and stop the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] from reaching the Dark Nebula. He contacts [[Greatshot]] in Sector Two, and requests that he join up with the Brainmasters aboard [[Galaxy Shuttle]] en route.

[[Image:Victory36 fortress.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Disco has risen from the grave.]]
Meanwhile, on a beach nearby, the poor [[Dinoforce]] have been washed up on the shore after being left behind by Deathsaurus. [[Gōryū]] is insistent, however, that their emperor will be back for them soon enough, and [[Kakuryū]] is happy to get a short vacation. Gōryū is of the mind that warriors don't ''get'' vacations, so when [[Yokuryū]] returns to report the presence of an energy-filled shuttleport nearby, the team heads out to raid it.

Out in the depths of space, the ''Thunder Arrow'' enters the Dark Nebula and flies into the dormant husk of Deathsaurus's fortress, initiating the transfer of Atlantis's energy into its systems. As the Breastforce watch, the fortress slowly comes to life, shifting and moving until it is, at long last, fully re-energized. The Decepticons board the mammoth craft, and when Deathsaurus gives the order, it begins to move... towards Earth.

Back on Earth, Star Saber and [[Victory Leo]] are about to depart to join the Brainmasters in space when the report of the Dinoforce's attack on the shuttleport comes in. With their forces spread thin, the two mighty Autobots have no choice but to respond to the threat, and engage [[Dinoking]] in battle.

[[Image:Victory36 dinokingmeteor.jpg|left|180px|thumb|it's like the end of the Cretaceous all over again!!]]
On the fringes of the Dark Nebula, the Brainmasters exit Galaxy Shuttle and combine into [[Road Caesar]] to investigate further, only to narrowly avoid a beam from Deathsaurus's fortress as it emerges from the nebula. Greatshot arrives in time to back them up, but they are unable to stop a hail of meteor bombs launching from the fortress and heading straight for Earth. Even the Autobots on the plant itself are powerless to stop the meteors from impacting, and widespread devastation across the face of the planet results. Star Saber spots a meteor hurtling down above him and Victory Leo, and call off their battle with Dinoking so that they can retreat to the safety of the Shuttle Base. Dinoking, unfortunately, takes the full brunt of the subsequent explosion and splits back into the Dinoforce, who blame the Autobots for dropping the bomb. Star Saber informs Gōryū that the meteors are the work of Deathsaurus, but he refuses to believe that his leader would threaten the Earth with the Dinoforce still on it. The truth of the Autobots' words strikes home, however, and Gōryū realizes that they have been abandoned. As Star Saber and Victory Leo depart for space, [[Pīpō]] attempts to treat Gōryū's wounds, but he refuses aid from an Autobot until he passes out, allowing Pīpō to tend to him.

[[Image:Victory36 sabershot.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Victory Saber tries his best to avoid the pink Fabulous Beam.]]
[[Jean Minakaze|Jean]], meanwhile, has strapped a set of boosters to the ''[[Illumina II]]'' and flies off to [[Schwimmbad School|his school]], fearing for the safety of his friends. He makes a rough landing on the campus, but all his friends emerge unharmed from the school building, and he assures them that Star Saber will save the day.

[[Image:Victory36 deathsaurusearth.jpg|left|180px|thumb|]]
Out in space, Road Caesar and Greatshot's failure to stop the meteor bombs in flight prompts them to try attacking the launch bay instead. Thankfully, the approaching Star Saber and Victory Leo are able to destroy the remaining bombs as they fly towards Earth, and they just manage to arrive in time to save Greatshot and Road Caesar from death at the hands of the fortress's beam cannons. After Star Saber orders the two Autobots to retreat to Earth, he and Victory Leo are attacked by [[Liokaiser]], but quickly merge into Victory Saber and blast him back into the fortress with one shot. Deathsaurus mutters that it would have been nice to torture Victory Saber a little more, but decides to simply end it now, and promptly strikes the Autobot with a single, powerful beam from his fortress. Victory Saber howls in pain, and is sent spiralling off into space.

Now, with no-one to stand in his way, Deathsaurus's fortress draws closer to Earth with each passing moment...

==Quotes==

{{Note|The following quotes are from the Omni Productions dub.}}

"Okay, let's go!"
:—'''Deathsaurus''', having powered up his massive weapon of destruction, gives the order to get underway.

"A shower of meteorites will make the Earth look like a Swiss cheese!"
:—'''Deathsaurus'''

"OK, where does it hurt?" 
"Go away, I don't need your help!"
:—'''Pīpō''' and '''Gōryū'''

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
Among the changes made by the [[Omni Productions]] dub:
* Drillhorn asks if Hellbat's going to take credit for all the work the Dinoforce has done, rather than suggesting that without them, their workload may end up being given to Hellbat.
* Greatshot is stationed on planet [[Micro]].
* Rather than try to play up the Autobot's honesty, Star Saber simply points out to Gōryū that Deathsaurus is firing on the Earth when he knows the Dinoforce is still on it.
* Star Saber tells Road Caesar and Greatshot that the plan is to attack the fortress from all sides, rather than telling them to retreat to Earth because they're injured.

===Animation or technical errors===
* While watching Star Saber and Victory Leo arrive at the site of the Dinoforce's attack, Gōryū is drawn with a purple Autobot insignia.
* In the English dub, Blacker says "You go back in the shuttle, the three of us will merge into Road Caesar." The thing is, there's no one else present for him to be talking to.

===Continuity errors===
* When Star Saber first deactivated Deathsaurus's space city he knew exactly how to disable it. When it was activated a second time, he didn't seem to have even the slightest clue how to stop it.

===Continuity notes===
* The theft of Atlantis's energy and the abandonment of the Dinoforce occurred in the [[The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves|previous episode]].

* Greatshot was appointed commander of the Sector Two defense force in "[[Fight!! Victory Leo]]".

===Real world references===
* A member of the horrified crowd that looks up as the meteors come crashing down is wearing a… ''smock'' with "[[wikipedia:Van_Halen|Van Halen]]" written on it.

===Trivia===
* This episode marks the last apperance of [[Leozack]], [[Drillhorn]], [[Gaihawk]], [[Hellbat]], [[Jarugar]] and [[Killbison]] as individuals in the cartoon (not including clip shows); In the next episode they only appear as [[Liokaiser]].
*This episode also marks the final appearance of [[Greatshot]], [[Dinoking]] and [[Road Caesar]].

On the fringes of the Dark Nebula, the Brainmasters exit Galaxy Shuttle and combine into [[Road Caesar]] to investigate further, only to narrowly avoid a beam from Deathsaurus's fortress as it emerges from the nebula. Greatshot arrives in time to back them up, but they are unable to stop a hail of meteor bombs launching from the fortress and heading straight for Earth. Even the Autobots on the plant itself are powerless to stop the meteors from impacting, and widespread devastation across the face of the planet results. Star Saber spots a meteor hurtling down above him and Victory Leo, and call off their battle with Dinoking so that they can retreat to the safety of the Shuttle Base. Dinoking, unfortunately, takes the full brunt of the subsequent explosion and splits back into the Dinoforce, who blame the Autobots for dropping the bomb. Star Saber informs Gōryū that the meteors are the work of Deathsaurus, but he refuses to believe that his leader would threaten the Earth with the Dinoforce still on it. The truth of the Autobots' words strikes home, however, and Gōryū realizes that they have been abandoned. As Star Saber and Victory Leo depart for space, [[Pīpō]] attempts to treat Gōryū's wounds, but he refuses aid from an Autobot until he passes out, allowing Pīpō to tend to him.

[[Jean Minakaze|Jean]], meanwhile, has strapped a set of boosters to the ''[[Illumina II]]'' and flies off to [[Schwimmbad School|his school]], fearing for the safety of his friends. He makes a rough landing on the campus, but all his friends emerge unharmed from the school building, and he assures them that Star Saber will save the day.

Out in space, Road Caesar and Greatshot's failure to stop the meteor bombs in flight prompts them to try attacking the launch bay instead. Thankfully, the approaching Star Saber and Victory Leo are able to destroy the remaining bombs as they fly towards Earth, and they just manage to arrive in time to save Greatshot and Road Caesar from death at the hands of the fortress's beam cannons. After Star Saber orders the two Autobots to retreat to Earth, he and Victory Leo are attacked by [[Liokaiser]], but quickly merge into Victory Saber and blast him back into the fortress with one shot. Deathsaurus mutters that it would have been nice to torture Victory Saber a little more, but decides to simply end it now, and promptly strikes the Autobot with a single, powerful beam from his fortress. Victory Saber howls in pain, and is sent spiralling off into space.

Now, with no-one to stand in his way, Deathsaurus's fortress draws closer to Earth with each passing moment...

==Quotes==

{{Note|The following quotes are from the Omni Productions dub.}}

"Okay, let's go!"
:—'''Deathsaurus''', having powered up his massive weapon of destruction, gives the order to get underway.

"A shower of meteorites will make the Earth look like a Swiss cheese!"
:—'''Deathsaurus'''

"OK, where does it hurt?" 
"Go away, I don't need your help!"
:—'''Pīpō''' and '''Gōryū'''

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
Among the changes made by the [[Omni Productions]] dub:
* Drillhorn asks if Hellbat's going to take credit for all the work the Dinoforce has done, rather than suggesting that without them, their workload may end up being given to Hellbat.
* Greatshot is stationed on planet [[Micro]].
* Rather than try to play up the Autobot's honesty, Star Saber simply points out to Gōryū that Deathsaurus is firing on the Earth when he knows the Dinoforce is still on it.
* Star Saber tells Road Caesar and Greatshot that the plan is to attack the fortress from all sides, rather than telling them to retreat to Earth because they're injured.

===Animation or technical errors===
* While watching Star Saber and Victory Leo arrive at the site of the Dinoforce's attack, Gōryū is drawn with a purple Autobot insignia.
* In the English dub, Blacker says "You go back in the shuttle, the three of us will merge into Road Caesar." The thing is, there's no one else present for him to be talking to.

===Continuity errors===
* When Star Saber first deactivated Deathsaurus's space city he knew exactly how to disable it. When it was activated a second time, he didn't seem to have even the slightest clue how to stop it.

===Continuity notes===
* The theft of Atlantis's energy and the abandonment of the Dinoforce occurred in the [[The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves|previous episode]].

* Greatshot was appointed commander of the Sector Two defense force in "[[Fight!! Victory Leo]]".

===Real world references===
* A member of the horrified crowd that looks up as the meteors come crashing down is wearing a… ''smock'' with "[[wikipedia:Van_Halen|Van Halen]]" written on it.

===Trivia===
* This episode marks the last apperance of [[Leozack]], [[Drillhorn]], [[Gaihawk]], [[Hellbat]], [[Jarugar]] and [[Killbison]] as individuals in the cartoon (not including clip shows); In the next episode they only appear as Liokaiser.
*This episode also marks the final appearance of [[Greatshot]], [[Dinoking]] and [[Road Caesar]].
