==Notable quotes==
''"I just love opening presents."'' 
:-- '''Skywarp''' as he breaks through the roof of a Human research institute.

''"Where's the courage that your leadership demands, Megatron? To discover if something works, you must dare to... test it!"'' 
:-- '''Starscream''' activating the electrocells.

''"You fool! You'll destroy us all!"'' 
"''Destroy us all, oh brave Megatron? Perhaps the Decepticons should look elsewhere for directions. Someone prepared to make command decisions!"'' 
:-- '''Megatron''' and '''Starscream''' arguing over who is a better leader.

''"This time, you have dared too much, Starscream. You must pay the price for your insolence!"'' 
:-- '''Megatron''' as he is about to terminate Starscream.

''"There, Prime. In that valley, where Mirage found ''nothing.''"'' 
:-- '''Cliffjumper''' highlighting Mirage's failure to find the Decepticon base in a place he patrolled.

''"Remember which side you're on, Mirage."'' 
''"Keep your mind on the Decepticons, Cliffjumper."'' 
''"That's just what I'm doing!"'' 
:-- '''Cliffjumper''' getting reprimanded by '''Optimus Prime'''.

''"An electro-cell! Come to papa!"'' 
''"Not so fast, papa."'' 
:--'''Cliffjumper''' and '''Starscream''' with witty banter

''"Didn't you ever learn not to touch things that don't belong to you?"'' 
''"Okay, Optimus, jump him! Now! "'' 
''"Optimus Prime? Where?! ARGH!" '' 
''"Poor Starscream, the oldest tricks only work on the biggest jerks!" '' 
:-- '''Starscream''' who is about to shoot '''Cliffjumper''' who in turn pulls the oldest trick on the Decepticon.

''"I didn't feel a thing!"'' 
''"Then let's try... AGAIN!"'' 
''"Too fast for you, huh, Autobum?"'' 
:-- '''Skywarp''' fighting against '''Mirage'''.

''"Release the electrocells, Megatron. They don't belong to you."'' 
''"I possess them, therefore I own them! You've lost, Optimus Prime. Your destruction is at hand! Neither you nor your Autobot simpletons will prevent me from ruling the universe."'' 
:-- '''Optimus Prime''' and '''Megatron''' after which the Autobot leader gets shot by Kickback and falls to the floor while Megatron continues his speech.

''"Uh-oh. Suddenly I feel like I'm not alone."'' 
''"You're not! And this is one of those times when you really need a friend!"'' 
:--'''Cliffjumper''' and '''Starscream''' witty banter; part two!

''"HAHAHAHAH! Time for me to disappear."'' 
:-- '''Mirage''' after tricking the Insecticons and the Decepticons into fighting one another.

''"You missed again!"'' 
''"We both missed. Don't worry about the Autobots and worry about them!"'' 
:-- '''Megatron''' and '''Starscream''' after they miss hitting the Autobots and the Insecticons begin attacking them.

''"Those greedy little Insecticons are trying to steal my electrocells. I will squash them like the bugs they are! Decepticons, attack!"''
:-- '''Megatron''' as the Insecticons are attacking him.

''"You wouldn't cheat us. You need us to get rid of the Autobots. Maybe after that, you'll rob us blind. But not now!"''
-- '''Bombshell''' after hearing Megatron out that Mirage was responsible for the theft of their energon cubes.

''"My... my electrocells! They... they were meant for me! They were meann... argh!"''
:-- '''Megatron''' damaged and in the ruins of the storage base which he destroyed.

==Other notes==

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
*When Megatron is rushing to put out the fire on the electrocells, there are two Starscreams beside him.
*When the Decepticons accidently fire on the Insecticons who believe Megatron has betrayed them; Shrapnel's voice is completely different.

===Continuity errors===
* Cliffjumper is very quick to accuse Mirage of treachery, despite never showing any signs of mistrusting him before, i.e. "[[More Than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]". Then again, Cliffjumper is a jerk.

===Transformers references===
*Shrapnel makes use of his grenade launcher that fires spikes all around the target, its nasty... Mirage can testify to that.

Triple Takeover

{{episodenav|g1|season=2|34|prev=Sea Change|next=Prime Target}}

[[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] depose [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], then proceed to wreak havoc.

==Detailed synopsis==
Starscream, Blitzwing and Astrotrain begin using their weapons to create some statues on a mountain of their faces along with Megatrons. They decide one of the faces don't belong at which point they decide to band together and overthrow Megatron. Flying back to base, Blitzwing and Astrotrain decide who should lead Megatron into the trap with one of them suggesting Starscream while the other states how he has been constantly been attempting to become [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon leader]] and failed. Starscream retorts, as usual, and says he will do it while the other two gloat about manipulating him.

Starscream leads Megatron into the sewers stating that a secret [[Autobot]] energy base is present there until the doors close around them. Megatron says its a trap and gets frozen while Starscream gloats and tries to escape through a hatch but finds out that its been locked by his "allies", jeez what a surprise. This leaves Astrotrain and Blitzwing as the only joint [[Decepticon]] leaders.

Heading for a stadium, Blitzwing, in a display of great intelligence, drafts a football coach to be his [[second-in-command]], and give tactical advice. Blitzwing misinterprets his suggestions of "zone defense" and "long bomb", having the Constructicons build a massive highway maze and begins firing from inside the stadium. [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] leads a group of Autobots to investigate, but they end up crashing into each other in the Constructicons maze. Meanwhile, Astrotrain heads to a train station, where he "conscripts" the [[Astroforce]], human trains which are to be his army. He sends them into a tunnel to collect energy lines and convert them into [[Energon]]. It goes well for Astrotrain. The Astroforce? Not so much.

Meanwhile, [[Powerglide]] flies over the maze, where [[Scrapper]] has built a throne...made of Prowl, [[Tracks]], [[Skids]], and [[Bluestreak]]. Being guided by Powerglide from the air, [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] manage to rescue the Autobots, causing Blitzwing and Scrapper to crash into each other. At the train station, the [[Seeker]]s come to see how Astrotrain is doing. To his credit, he has gotten a lot of [[Energon cube]]s, but his Astroforce has gotten off their tracks and gotten the into a knot (somehow). Astrotrain urges one of the trains to gather some energy from a gas mane, but it turns out to be a water mane, which floods the tunnel. Worse, it heads into the tunnel Megs and Screamer are in. Online again, Megatron accuses Starscream of treason again. Starscream maintains that he was tricked. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], and [[Spike Witwicky]] see the two Decepticons, only to be distracted by the water mane that floods the city. [[Trailbreaker]] uses his [[force field]] to push back the water, while Optimus and Ironhide seal the mane. Heading for the station, Megatron and Starscream encounter Prime, who claims that he's looking for the leaders of the Decepticons...which are not Megatron and Starscream. This royally pisses off Megatron, who tries to kill the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]], but he escapes. Megatron leaves to put Astrotrain and Blitzwing into their place, with the Seekers following, betting on who will win. Optimus, however, is content to sit back and watch what happens.

At the stadium, the Constructicons demand a share of the power Blitzwing promised, but he refuses and tells them to go jump off a bridge. Bad idea, for the Constructicons form [[Devastator]]. The flood from the water mane finally dies out at the stadium, depositing Astrotrain, who decides to scrap Blitzwing as well. Megatron and Starscream arrive, and Megs beats his would be usurpers senseless, but Devastator knocks out Megatron, then turns his sights on the [[Air Commander]]. Starscream manages to dodge Devastator, when Megatron offlines Devastator. Megatron, Blitzwing, Astrotrain, Starscream, and Devastator then engage in a battle royal which sees Megatron emerge victorious. He decides to spare the traitors, saying the Decepticon cause is too important, but warns them never to betray him again.

As the Autobots look on, they're impressed that Prime knew that Megatron would handle the Decepticons for them. The previously injured Autobots form a throne for their [[Supreme Commander|commander]] to sit on, but Optimus Prime declares that he'd rather roll.
