In a plot to drain the sun for power, the [[Decepticon]]s capture and alter the grumpy [[Autobot]] [[Gears]].

==Detailed synopsis==

Megatron orchestrates a conflict with the Autobots in order to capture Gears and remove a vital component from his system. Megatron's plan is to use the circuit board in his [[Solar Needle]], a solar collector which his Decepticons are constructing, a device which harnesses energy from the heart of the sun. The removal of this component from Gears corrupts his personality, turning him from a surly grump into a happy-go-lucky ultra-polite guy who'll do absolutely anything for anyone, allowing Megatron to manipulate and control him. Mentally Gears still knows the Decepticons are evil and doesn't want to help them but he's been rendered so 'nice' that he can't refuse any request. Unbeknownst to Megatron, the Solar Needle is flawed, causing a dangerous instability within the core of the sun. The Autobots arrive in order to rescue Gears and prevent Megatron from using the device. Though nearly defeated, they are finally able to drive off the Decepticons with the help of Gears, whose sensor is restored, and destroy the device.
