'''Galvatron and Starscream clash for control of the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys, and the Autobots are caught in the middle.'''

==Synopsis==

[[Image:Cyb_ep46_starscream_fragged.jpg|left|thumb|220px|'Did that hurt at all?']]

On the lowest level of [[Gigantion]], [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] hauls his battered body out of the lake into which [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] hurled him. His power levels low, Starscream focuses on the images of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] and [[Primus]] within his mind, and his determination galvanizes him.

Within the ''[[Lemuria (Cybertron)|Lemuria]]'' starship, the assembled [[Autobot]]s prepare to add the fourth and final [[Cyber Planet Key]] to the [[Omega Lock]]. The heroes are on their toes, as they are by now well aware that adding a Key to the Lock is bound to have an unusual effect...and indeed, this time is no different, as the Omega Lock shoots out a beam of energy that powers up the starship they are standing in. Its systems reboot, deactivating the security systems on Gigantion that prevent warping and causing the planet's multiple layers to split open, revealing a clear passage to the world's surface. A [[space bridge]] opens in the sky over the planet, allowing a communication from [[Mike Franklin|Colonel Franklin]] to reach the team. Alas, he does not have good news: the [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]]'s influence is spreading throughout the galaxy despite Primus's efforts, with the [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] in particular danger. [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]] chooses this moment to appear before the Autobots, wishing to offer his thanks to Optimus Prime for all that he has taught him. Having seen the images of Jungle Planet, Scourge realizes he can neglect his homeworld no longer, and with [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] by his side once again, the two old friends return there to do what they can.

[[Image:Cyb_ep46_showdown.jpg|right|thumb|220px]]

The Autobots are preparing to follow their beastly comrades to the surface when [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] makes a sudden appearance. Bringing all his deadly powers to bear, he swiftly blasts his way through the Autobots and purloins the Omega Lock. However, as he makes a break for the opening in the sky, Starscream appears in his path, and demands that he hand over the Lock and Keys. The two Decepticons lecture each other on the nature of power, and a ferocious battle breaks out between the two, which the Autobots are prevented from interfering in by the appearance by [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] and [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]]. The other Decepticons soon arrive to watch (and about what to do and who to cheer for), while the Gigantions down below shield the humans from falling debris.

[[Image:Cyb_ep46_final_showdown.jpg|left|thumb|220px]]

The battle between Megatron and Starscream takes another strange turn when Starscream reveals that his absorption of the power of Primus has given him the ability to increase the mass of his body at will. Eventually, the fight carries the two combatants to the surface of the planet, where they each unleash the fullest extent of their power. Pulsating with inconceivable amounts of [[energon]], the two Decepticons face off, the interaction of their energon auras threatening an explosion powerful enough to destroy a planet. The Autobots cut their losses and scramble for cover, while Sideways and Soundwave resolve to snatch the Omega Lock from the two battling 'bots before it too is destroyed by the impending blast. Unfortunately, they move too slowly: Megatron and Starscream unleash their final attacks, and the collision of forces yields an explosion visible from space, ripping a giant hole in the planet, and consuming them and the two [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] agents.

As the Autobots emerge from their cover, Starscream, Sideways and Soundwave are nowhere to be seen...but Galvatron has survived, and with the Omega Lock, he escapes through the space bridge! Unable to do anything, the Autobots watch as the other Decepticons follow him, and [[Vector Prime]] speculates that Starscream and the Planet Xers were not destroyed, but rather, blasted into another dimension. As everyone looks up at the sky, however, the space bridge starts to disintegrate, leaving the Autobots and their human allies with no means to return to their home universe...

And, high above the planet, floating on the solar winds... Starscream's crown drifts in the cosmic night...

==Quotes==

"Spare me your lectures! You know nothing of power!" 
"Oh?" 
"Do you know what real power is?" 
"Get to the point." 
"True power...is simple determination! Making the impossible possible through sheer FORCE OF WILL!" 
[''Starscream releases a wave of force that makes Galvatron flinch and knocks the Autobots out of the sky''] 
"I have risked everything in pursuit of this power! I have given myself over to it, body and spark! Now witness...the power of one who has SACRIFICED EVERYTHING!" 
"Ha! If you believe that... then you're a bigger fool than I thought! Witness the power of one who risks NOTHING!" 
"SO BE IT!"
:—'''Starscream''' and '''Galvatron''', with the former revealing himself as a supporter of BURNING JUSTICE.

"Enough magic tricks! Time for some hardware!"
:-'''Galvatron''', displaying his hatred of BURNING JUSTICE (or Starscream).

"From what I hear, they're pretty lame as fighters! Maybe they want to challenge us to a dance competition, or a poetry slam!" 
"And maybe ''you'' ought to leave the comedy to the professionals!"
:—'''Jetfire''''s humor escapes '''Sideways'''.

"Thus endeth the reign of Galvatron!" 
"How can this be... am I... to be defeated... by ''Starscream?!''"
:—'''Starscream''' forces '''Galvatron''' to contemplate the unthinkable.

"''I'll'' get it. Save yourself!" 
"No way, brother. We're in this together."
:—'''Sideways''' and '''Soundwave''' face their last moment together

"You see, Starscream, when you risk ''everything'' in the pursuit of power, you could wind up with ''nothing''. That's why I never risk ''anything''."
:-'''Galvatron''' on Starscream's idea of power.

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Galaxy Force''===
*''Galaxy Force'' includes a "previously on" segment summarizing the events of "[[Optimus (episode)|Optimus]]".
*As ever, ''Cybertron'' adds the [[Omega Frequency]] when relevant.
*''Galaxy Force'' doesn't bother to explain why Gigantion has a defense field that stops warping. ''Cybertron'' notes that it was a security measure added after the war with Planet X.
*For the first time in a while, Galvatron and Starscream break out "[[Burning justice|energy auras]]" as they fight, which ''Galaxy Force'' treats as perfectly normal. ''Cybertron'' has previously offered the explanation that the characters are surging with [[energon]], and while it doesn't repeat it here, it does take another sharp dig at the ridiculousness of the whole affair by having Galvatron angrily announce "Enough magic tricks!"
*On that note, Starscream seems to be a walking spokesbot for BURNING JUSTICE, as he describes true power as being a matter of determination and force of will. He also goes from beaten and blackened to mint-condition and fighting fit at the beginning of the episode with a similar (unexplained) "aura".
*Also in ''Galaxy Force'', rather than berating Starscream's opinion about the nature of power, Galvatron simply notes that he is victorious. He does, however, offer Starscream some respect by noting Starscream put up a magnificent fight. His choice of words also imply he suspects they were so similar in power he simply got lucky (his exact words being 'Doyara watashi no kachi da, Starscream'/ 'Somehow it is my victory, Starscream).
*In ''Cybertron'', Ransack and Crumplezone argue with Thunderblast about her flighty loyalties; in ''Galaxy Force'', she says they should help Galvatron in the battle, and they retort that she's not helping either. Her worrying who to cheer for right afterward, though, is the same in both.
*''Cybertron'' sees Soundwave suggest fleeing, only for Sideways to insist they get the Omega Lock. Seconds later, Sideways tells Soundwave to save himself, but Soundwave refuses to abandon him. In ''Galaxy Force'', there's none of this disagreement or camaraderie; they both want to get the Lock, and neither says a word against the other.

===Transformers references===
*As Starscream clambers from the lake, he groans "I...still...function...", a quote from [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 Megatron]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

*Vector Prime discovered that warping was not possible on Gigantion back in "[[Giant]]". This plot point seems to have served absolutely no story purpose other than to prolong the Transformers' time on the Giant Planet.

*Several characters note that the energy being released by Starscream and Galvatron is enough to level a small planet. Similar observations were made [[Starscream (episode)|the last time the supercharged Decepticons went at it]], but this time, we get to see the effects of the blast (thankfully, Gigantion does not qualify as "a small planet").
[[Image:Cyb_ep46_wild_takes.jpg|right|thumb|PD Type!]]

===Real-world references===
*Soundwave calls Optimus Prime a "space cowboy", after the song of the same name by the [[wikipedia:Steve Miller Band|Steve Miller Band]].
*Also, it could be after the anime, Cowboy Bebop, of which the main character, Spike Spiegel is called "space cowboy".

===Trivia===
*[[Sam Vincent]] stands in for [[Louis Chirillo]] as the voice of Ransack in this episode.
*When the Decepticons all do a wild take at the sight of Megatron and Starscream battling, we get to see what's under Crumplezone's [[mouthplate]]!
* Technically, neither Starscream or Galvatron won or lost this fight, as it ended in a draw. Starscream was (somehow) sucked into another dimension and was unable to continue the fight. Had Starscream been able to continue the fight, it probably could've gone either way—although it DID look like Galvatron was on the ropes for a while...

24.18.118.12: /* Soundwaves visor? */

Damn you, Abates. DAMN YOU. [[User:TheMZone|TheMZone]] 22:55, 19 May 2012 (EDT)
:Heh, sorry! :) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:29, 20 May 2012 (EDT)

== Flipping out thingy ==

Is the thing that Soundwave flips out from his arm the resonance blaster, which he is then forced to drop before he can use it?
:Guy that added the note here, I thought it was the resonance blaster too, but when I went back and looked, it's too slim, not two-pronged, and is flipped out on the underside of his arm, not the top. Also, he flips out the thing ''after'' he drops the blaster. [[User:Zandergb|Zandergb]] 11:57, 20 May 2012 (EDT)
::I'm quite sure that it's actually his normal blaster weapon. Nearly every other Prime character has at least one arm flip-out blaster, and earlier in the episode we saw Soundwave use blasters (in alt-mode) for the first time. He wasn't wielding the Resonance Blaster yet, it isn't till the very end of the fight that he mounts the Resonance Blaster to his arm. Unfortunately, the shot is brief, but that's the only thing that makes sense to me. --[[User:Anguirus|Anguirus]] 18:22, 20 May 2012 (EDT)
::: Oh wait, looking at HD rip of the episode, it's his fingers. Weird sound usage. [[User:Zandergb|Zandergb]] 03:42, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

== Soundwaves visor? ==

Megatron tells Knock Out to repair Sondwaves visor.witch means he has a face after all.Something that I wasn't 100% sure about.Maybe we should mention it? [[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 8:39, 20 May 2012
:Or, the visor ''is'' his face (meaning, the visor takes the place of his face). --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 11:42, 20 May 2012 (EDT)
::Yeah, unless they state either way, I don't think we can be sure. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 17:29, 20 May 2012 (EDT)
I just watched the episode, and I think when wheeljack and Soundwave fell down the cliff, when the camera zooms in next to Soundwave, you can see an optic? So maybe the visor is just covering his face. --[[Special:Contributions/24.18.118.12|24.18.118.12]] 11:32, 25 May 2012 (EDT)
