'''The Autobots and Decepticons combine forces to liberate Cybertron from a sinister alien force.'''

==Synopsis==
Resting in the remains of [[Iaconus]], an unconscious [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] is awoken by [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]. Picking up a message from [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] proclaiming the fight is not over, Windblade spies the [[Quintesson]]-controlled [[Croaton]] on the march. Vowing that he must be stopped, Windblade transforms and flies off.

Without a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] of their own, the Autobots and Decepticons can do nothing against Croaton, who at Judge [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]'s orders begins obliterating them and whatever is left of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] (much to Judge Starscream's amusement). A detachment of fliers try shooting the Titan but their attacks are ineffectual. On the streets below, Autobots and Decepticons battle the Quintesson forces. [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] come face to face with a squadron of alternate Soundwaves from across the multiverse, who attack them.

Windblade lands on Croaton and tries using her [[Cityspeaker]] powers to talk to him, but the Titan is unresponsive. At Laserbeak's indication, she heads inside the Titan's superstructure. On the streets below, Optimus, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] evade some Prosecutors only to find several defeated Autobots and Decepticons being rounded up and penned in by the Quintessons. Their momentary shock allows Judge Starscream to get the drop on Optimus, blasting him. Once again, the former Decepticon proclaims Optimus guilty of crimes against him, for which the penalty is doom! Before he can pass sentence, a portal opens up in the sky, and a purple shuttle emerges, from which leaps none other than [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]].

''[[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]] tells his audience that while he was not particularly happy to see Megatron again, sometimes the most despicable piece of scrap is exactly what you need.''

Judge Starscream tells Megatron that he is too late to save the Decepticons, but he is just in time to be judged. As he fires a laser, Megatron declares "Decepticons, attack!" and begins to glow with a strange energy, summoning a barrier that protects him from Judge Starscream's attack. Megatron explains to the stunned Cybertronians that he has travelled the multiverse and gained new powers, asking if they would like some as well. [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] whole-heartedly agrees. As Judge Starscream announces no power can stop him, Megatron shares the energy between his troops and his former enemies. At the sight of this, Judge Starscream orders the Quintesson forces to destroy them all.

With their new power, the Cybertronians effortlessly defeat the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s and Prosecutors, while Soundwave faces his interdimensional dopplegangers. Declaring them inferior, he uses his power boost to blow the Soundwaves away. Watching from Croaton's shoulder, a frustrated Judge Starscream declares the fight over and deems everyone guilty, sentencing to total annihilation. With the assistant of his fellow [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]]s, Starscream summons unspace. Globs of the un-substance begin raining down on the battlefield, disappearing Autobots and Decepticons alike. Seeing this, Megatron orders the shuttle, known as [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], to seal the portal. As Astrotain approaches, he is caught by Croaton and a gloating Judge Starscream proclaims that no-one can stop him.

Inside Croaton, Windblade uses her powers to get into the Titan's mind, finding it overrun with the same Quintesson tendrils that cover his body. Croaton explains he is under their control. Vowing to free him, Windblade summons up her strength and splits into multiple copies of herself. Attacking the Quintesson controls, she succeeds in freeing Croaton. However, this causes her to collapse, portions of energy shooting out of her in every direction. The restored Croaton tries talking to Windblade but gets no response. Breaking free of the Quintesson restraints, he begins marching away from the battle, promising to give Windblade somewhere she can rest.

Seeing the Titan leave, Judge Starscream declares he does not need him anyway and tries stopping Astrotrain on his own. Down below, Megatron notes his mistreatment of Starscream and how he must now destroy him. Calling to Optimus, he says they must join powers to defeat his treacherous lieutenant and reveals that he has has obtained his own [[Matrix of Leadership]] during his multiversal trip. Though Optimus insist this cannot be, Megatron responds that it is and they must now save the universe. Together, the two use their Matrixes to blast Judge Starscream. With a great burst of light, the former Seeker vanishes, allowing Astrotrain able to seal the portal to unspace.

''Finishing his tale, Kup tells his audience that sometimes there is a price to existence, and sometimes that price is getting along with someone you do not like. Do that, and maybe the universe will not end.''

With the war against the Quintessons over, Optimus and Megatron stare down, as [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] and a host of [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s from the same universe as Astrotrain disembark from the purple shuttle. Optimus notes that because they have saved the universe, they are all in Megatron's debt. When asked what his price is, Megatron responds that he may call in that debt, one day, but for the moment he has one demand: half of Cybertron. The Decepticons will stay on their half, and the Autobots on theirs, or there will be consequences. Reluctantly, Optimus agrees.

[[File:Cyberverse show promo image.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.4|"This, Bumblebee, is my archive of all the experiences you've begged me to remove from your life. I call them 'Bumblebee's Mind Blowers'!"]]

'''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''', later rebranded as '''''Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''', is a [[computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]]. It debuted on the [[Cartoon Network]] app and website on [[August 27]], [[2018]], and made its television premiere on Cartoon Network on [[September 1]], 2018. The story is divided into chapters: Chapter One ran for 18 episodes in 2018, Chapter Two ran for 18 episodes in 2019, and a third 26-episode Chapter is scheduled for 2020. Unlike nearly every prior ''Transformers'' TV series, episodes are only 11 minutes in length as opposed to 22 minutes. The show will conclude after its third season.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2020/02/transformers-cyberverse-director-confirms-3rd-season-is-final-season-for-cyberverse/]</ref>

The series focuses on the adventures of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]; having damaged his memory chips, he and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] must recover his missing memories in order to help him remember his mission on [[Earth]]. Unfortunately, the [[Decepticon]]s are after their friends.<ref>[http://comicbook.com/2017/10/14/transformers-cyberverse-animated-first-look/ Exclusive: Your First Look At The New Transformers: Cyberverse Animated Series]</ref>

The series is intended to "focus more on characters and their mythology", featuring a stronger emphasis on serialized storytelling, and utilizes the "[[evergreen]]" character designs. It is set in a new continuity and is not a sequel to any previous series.

==Storyline==
During the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and a team including Bumblebee have left the planet to search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. The [[Decepticon]]s catch wind that the ancient artifact is on [[Earth]], and leave to investigate, which forces Windblade to take a one-way [[space bridge]] journey there herself. Unable to find any trace of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]] or Optimus Prime, she manages to find her old friend Bumblebee. However, he is suffering from amnesia and has no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the pair being pursued relentlessly by Decepticons, Windblade must help Bumblebee unlock and repair his damaged memories of the war and his journey to Earth so that they can locate Optimus and the Allspark before their enemies do.

In the second season, several decades later, the revived Autobots and the recently arrived Decepticons now battle over the fate of Earth thanks to the knowledge that the Allspark is somewhere on the planet, protected by its [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|guardian]]. The conflict escalates when Starscream, believing he has been chosen for a higher purpose, makes his own bid for power that puts both sides at risk. Thus it falls to the Autobots to not only retrieve the Allspark, but to escort it safely back to Cybertron.

In the third and final season, the Autobots manage to retake Cybertron from the Decepticons, but [[Quintesson|otherworldly invaders]] arrive and take control of the planet. With everyone else imprisoned, a ragtag resistance group made up of bots and cons alike must band together to save their friends, Cybertron, and potentially the entire universe. The day was saved, by Cybertron now stands as a divided governmment, with Windblade's mind scattered in shards across the planet.

==Japanese Release==
[[File:Transformers_Cyberverse_Japanese_Press_Release.jpg|thumb|upright=2.4]]

Unlike the English version (which uses voice actors new to their roles), several Transformers alumni voice characters in the Japanese dub. In some cases, this borders on role reprisal, such as ''Aligned'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]'s voice actor voicing his ''Cyberverse'' counterpart or Bumblebee's voice actor having voiced four different versions of Bumblebee. In others, there are nods to their previous characters, with both Optimus Prime and Megatron's voice actors previously voicing [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] in the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars''.

Like many other Japanese dubs (including ''Beast Wars'', ''Beast Machines'' and ''Transformers: Prime''), the Japanese dub of ''Cyberverse'' takes a more "humorous" tack towards the show. For example, in the episode [[Sea of Tranquility]] as Starscream attacks Windblade he cheerfully goes, "Hello, Starscream here!" Even more serious characters like Optimus Prime aren't spared, as at one point he complains, "I was still talking!" when Megatron punches him.

Other typical Japanese dub additions include characters yelling "Transform!" as they, well, transform. The occasional special attack name is also called out (e.g. in [[Bad Moon Rising]] Megatron cries out, "Punishment Cannon: Fusion Cannon, FIRE!" when he blasts Starscream).

Personality-wise, some characters are effectively transplants of their previous incarnations. Starscream, for example, is basically ''Prime'' Starscream right down to his mannerisms. Megatron and Optimus Prime are basically their G1 counterparts with Japanese dub Beast Megatron and Optimus Primal's personalities. Other characters have quirks unique to previous Japanese dubs, like Shockwave punctuating his sentences with "shock!" similar to his ''Prime'' counterpart and being much more expressive compared to the stoic and clinical English version.

In lieu of an opening theme, Cyberverse has characters talking over the opening credits to pump up the kids watching the show. For the ending, the same character will talk over the English credits commenting on events in the episode, and afterward the Japanese credits will play over stills of highlights from said episode.

==Notes==
*''Cyberverse'' draws some concepts from the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, released a few months after ''Cyberverse'' debuted; in particular, the plot point of Bumblebee's amnesia is lifted directly from the film, as is the "honeycomb" design of Bumblebee's internal readouts.
*Unlike previous ''Transformers'' series, the characters in this show are drawn with only four fingers. The ''Cyberverse'' characters are also known for the "Energon vein" designs in many of their joints (mostly the hips).
*The show's premiere episodes, "[[Fractured]]" and "[[Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory]]," were both put up on Cartoon Network's mobile app and website several days before their U.S. television premiere. All subsequent episodes of the show were uploaded the day before they were aired on television, followed by a release on Hasbro's YouTube channel the day after, region-locked to United States users; following a weekend without any videos due to American Thanksgiving, the YouTube release moved to the ''next'' Sunday after airing starting with episode 13. Cartoon Network's app/website split each episode into two separate parts, each with a generic title card, and were numbered as such. By the second season, the Cartoon Network site began putting up episodes over a week before they would hit the airwaves, and Hasbro's YouTube uploads returned to their one day delay schedule.
*While the first season was aired at a rate of one episode per week in the United States, in Canada, ''two'' episodes aired every week in a half-hour block. Consequently, "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]" through "[[Maccadam's]]" all premiered on Canadian television ahead of their US broadcasts. In fact, the entire rest of the first season was initially scheduled to debut in Canada over the following weeks, but it was all pulled and replaced with re-runs, presumably because someone US-side didn't like how far ahead they were getting! However, the show still couldn't catch a break, as the next two episodes premiered on the Xfinity X1 service more than two weeks before they aired on television, with the remaining Chapter One episodes each airing in Singapore at least a week ahead of their US broadcast. This unfortunate scheduling continued during Chapter Two's broadcast, with the season premiering in multiple countries (including Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and France) two weeks ahead of its US broadcast and airing at a rate of four new episodes each weekend, finishing out the season as the US was only just starting it. Chapter Three followed suit, with UK channel POP TV airing ''the entire season'' in daily broadcasts of multiple new episodes over ''a week and a half'', before a US airdate had even been announced.
*Compared to past ''Transformers'' cartoons set on modern day Earth, the presence of [[human]]s in the series is extremely limited. Aside from a kid in the first season episode "[[Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X]]", humans have yet to make a physical appearance, with their presence limited to unseen voiceovers on media services. This is surprising considering that the first episode of the second season reveals that the existence of the Autobots and Decepticons are now public, with both sides directly addressing the people of Earth more than once.
*While most of the cast make use of [[evergreen]] designs, several characters who don't have toys in the accompanying toyline use stylised versions of recent toy or fiction designs. For example, [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Chromia]]'s appearance is based on her [[Chromia (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|2014-2018 IDW comic design]] while [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Bludgeon]] is modeled on his [[Bludgeon (Prime)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|2017 ''Robots in Disguise'' toy]]. The [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] are a special case, generally using modified versions of Starscream's design (which ''is'' based on his evergreen design). This does slightly affect [[show-accuracy]] in regards to toys: both Slipstream and Thundercracker's toys are straight [[redeco]]es of Starscream's whereas in the cartoon itself the differences between Screamer and his subordinates is more pronounced.

'''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''', later rebranded as '''''Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''', is a [[computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]]. It debuted on the [[Cartoon Network]] app and website on [[August 27]], [[2018]], and made its television premiere on Cartoon Network on [[September 1]], 2018. The story is divided into chapters: Chapter One ran for 18 episodes in 2018, Chapter Two ran for 18 episodes in 2019, and a third 26-episode Chapter is scheduled for 2020. Unlike nearly every prior ''Transformers'' TV series, episodes are only 11 minutes in length as opposed to 22 minutes. The show will conclude after its third season.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2020/02/transformers-cyberverse-director-confirms-3rd-season-is-final-season-for-cyberverse/]</ref>

The series focuses on the adventures of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]; having damaged his memory chips, he and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] must recover his missing memories in order to help him remember his mission on [[Earth]]. Unfortunately, the [[Decepticon]]s are after their friends.<ref>[http://comicbook.com/2017/10/14/transformers-cyberverse-animated-first-look/ Exclusive: Your First Look At The New Transformers: Cyberverse Animated Series]</ref>

The series is intended to "focus more on characters and their mythology", featuring a stronger emphasis on serialized storytelling, and utilizes the "[[evergreen]]" character designs. It is set in a new continuity and is not a sequel to any previous series.

==Storyline==
During the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and a team including Bumblebee have left the planet to search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. The [[Decepticon]]s catch wind that the ancient artifact is on [[Earth]], and leave to investigate, which forces Windblade to take a one-way [[space bridge]] journey there herself. Unable to find any trace of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]] or Optimus Prime, she manages to find her old friend Bumblebee. However, he is suffering from amnesia and has no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the pair being pursued relentlessly by Decepticons, Windblade must help Bumblebee unlock and repair his damaged memories of the war and his journey to Earth so that they can locate Optimus and the Allspark before their enemies do.

In the second season, several decades later, the revived Autobots and the recently arrived Decepticons now battle over the fate of Earth thanks to the knowledge that the Allspark is somewhere on the planet, protected by its [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|guardian]]. The conflict escalates when Starscream, believing he has been chosen for a higher purpose, makes his own bid for power that puts both sides at risk. Thus it falls to the Autobots to not only retrieve the Allspark, but to escort it safely back to Cybertron.

In the third and final season, the Autobots manage to retake Cybertron from the Decepticons, but [[Quintesson|otherworldly invaders]] arrive and take control of the planet. With everyone else imprisoned, a ragtag resistance group made up of bots and cons alike must band together to save their friends, Cybertron, and potentially the entire universe. The day was saved, by Cybertron now stands as a divided governmment, with Windblade's mind scattered in shards across the planet.

===Continuity notes===
*Thunderhowl appears to have been trapped sometime during the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]] given his questions about [[Iaconus]] and the Titan's conquering of other planets, all details that were established in "[[The Citizen]]".
*Thunderhowl mentions he was serving a Prime, but funnily enough that Prime goes ''conspicuously'' un-identified. However, we know [[Maccadam]], rumoured to be one of the Thirteen, was around and about at the time, leading the fight against Iaconus. Hmm...

===Transformers references===
*Crystal City was introduced ''waaaaaayyyy'' back in ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' episode "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme]]". It's shown up in plenty other pieces of fiction since then, but this is the first time it's reappeared on television in all that time.

'''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''', later rebranded as '''''Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''', is a [[computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]]. It debuted on the [[Cartoon Network]] app and website on [[August 27]], [[2018]], and made its television premiere on Cartoon Network on [[September 1]], 2018. The story is divided into chapters: Chapter One ran for 18 episodes in 2018, Chapter Two ran for 18 episodes in 2019, and a third 26-episode Chapter is scheduled for 2020. Unlike nearly every prior ''Transformers'' TV series, episodes are only 11 minutes in length as opposed to 22 minutes. The show will conclude after it's third season.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2020/02/transformers-cyberverse-director-confirms-3rd-season-is-final-season-for-cyberverse/]</ref>

The series focuses on the adventures of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]; having damaged his memory chips, he and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] must recover his missing memories in order to help him remember his mission on [[Earth]]. Unfortunately, the [[Decepticon]]s are after their friends.<ref>[http://comicbook.com/2017/10/14/transformers-cyberverse-animated-first-look/ Exclusive: Your First Look At The New Transformers: Cyberverse Animated Series]</ref>

The series is intended to "focus more on characters and their mythology", featuring a stronger emphasis on serialized storytelling, and utilizes the "[[evergreen]]" character designs. It is set in a new continuity and is not a sequel to any previous series.

==Storyline==
During the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and a team including Bumblebee have left the planet to search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]]. The [[Decepticon]]s catch wind that the ancient artifact is on [[Earth]], and leave to investigate, which forces Windblade to take a one-way [[space bridge]] journey there herself. Unable to find any trace of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]] or Optimus Prime, she manages to find her old friend Bumblebee. However, he is suffering from amnesia and has no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the pair being pursued relentlessly by Decepticons, Windblade must help Bumblebee unlock and repair his damaged memories of the war and his journey to Earth so that they can locate Optimus and the Allspark before their enemies do.

In the second season, several decades later, the revived Autobots and the recently arrived Decepticons now battle over the fate of Earth thanks to the knowledge that the Allspark is somewhere on the planet, protected by its [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|guardian]]. The conflict escalates when Starscream, believing he has been chosen for a higher purpose, makes his own bid for power that puts both sides at risk. Thus it falls to the Autobots to not only retrieve the Allspark, but to escort it safely back to Cybertron.

In the third and final season, the Autobots manage to retake Cybertron from the Decepticons, but [[Quintesson|otherworldly invaders]] arrive and take control of the planet. With everyone else imprisoned, a ragtag resistance group made up of bots and cons alike must band together to save their friends, Cybertron, and potentially the entire universe. The day was saved, by Cybertron now stands as a divided governmment, with Windblade's mind scattered in shards across the planet.

==Japanese Release==
[[File:Transformers_Cyberverse_Japanese_Press_Release.jpg|thumb|upright=2.4]]

Unlike the English version (which uses voice actors new to their roles), several Transformers alumni voice characters in the Japanese dub. In some cases, this borders on role reprisal, such as ''Aligned'' [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]'s voice actor voicing his ''Cyberverse'' counterpart or Bumblebee's voice actor having voiced four different versions of Bumblebee. In others, there are nods to their previous characters, with both Optimus Prime and Megatron's voice actors previously voicing [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] in the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars''.

Like many other Japanese dubs (including ''Beast Wars'', ''Beast Machines'' and ''Transformers: Prime''), the Japanese dub of ''Cyberverse'' takes a more "humorous" tack towards the show. For example, in the episode [[Sea of Tranquility]] as Starscream attacks Windblade he cheerfully goes, "Hello, Starscream here!" Even more serious characters like Optimus Prime aren't spared, as at one point he complains, "I was still talking!" when Megatron punches him.

Other typical Japanese dub additions include characters yelling "Transform!" as they, well, transform. The occasional special attack name is also called out (e.g. in [[Bad Moon Rising]] Megatron cries out, "Punishment Cannon: Fusion Cannon, FIRE!" when he blasts Starscream).

Personality-wise, some characters are effectively transplants of their previous incarnations. Starscream, for example, is basically ''Prime'' Starscream right down to his mannerisms. Megatron and Optimus Prime are basically their G1 counterparts with Japanese dub Beast Megatron and Optimus Primal's personalities. Other characters have quirks unique to previous Japanese dubs, like Shockwave punctuating his sentences with "shock!" similar to his ''Prime'' counterpart and being much more expressive compared to the stoic and clinical English version.

In lieu of an opening theme, Cyberverse has characters talking over the opening credits to pump up the kids watching the show. For the ending, the same character will talk over the English credits commenting on events in the episode, and afterward the Japanese credits will play over stills of highlights from said episode.

*''Transformers: Cyberverse'' - Terminal Velocity (2019)
*''Transformers: Cyberverse'' - King of the Dinosaurs (2019)

==Notes==
*''Cyberverse'' draws some concepts from the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, released a few months after ''Cyberverse'' debuted; in particular, the plot point of Bumblebee's amnesia is lifted directly from the film, as is the "honeycomb" design of Bumblebee's internal readouts.
*Unlike previous ''Transformers'' series, the characters in this show are drawn with only four fingers. The ''Cyberverse'' characters are also known for the "Energon vein" designs in many of their joints (mostly the hips).
*The show's premiere episodes, "[[Fractured]]" and "[[Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory]]," were both put up on Cartoon Network's mobile app and website several days before their U.S. television premiere. All subsequent episodes of the show were uploaded the day before they were aired on television, followed by a release on Hasbro's YouTube channel the day after, region-locked to United States users; following a weekend without any videos due to American Thanksgiving, the YouTube release moved to the ''next'' Sunday after airing starting with episode 13. Cartoon Network's app/website split each episode into two separate parts, each with a generic title card, and were numbered as such. By the second season, the Cartoon Network site began putting up episodes over a week before they would hit the airwaves, and Hasbro's YouTube uploads returned to their one day delay schedule.
*While the first season was aired at a rate of one episode per week in the United States, in Canada, ''two'' episodes aired every week in a half-hour block. Consequently, "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]" through "[[Maccadam's]]" all premiered on Canadian television ahead of their US broadcasts. In fact, the entire rest of the first season was initially scheduled to debut in Canada over the following weeks, but it was all pulled and replaced with re-runs, presumably because someone US-side didn't like how far ahead they were getting! However, the show still couldn't catch a break, as the next two episodes premiered on the Xfinity X1 service more than two weeks before they aired on television, with the remaining Chapter One episodes each airing in Singapore at least a week ahead of their US broadcast. This unfortunate scheduling continued during Chapter Two's broadcast, with the season premiering in multiple countries (including Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and France) two weeks ahead of its US broadcast and airing at a rate of four new episodes each weekend, finishing out the season as the US was only just starting it. Chapter Three followed suit, with UK channel POP TV airing ''the entire season'' in daily broadcasts of multiple new episodes over ''a week and a half'', before a US airdate had even been announced.
*Compared to past ''Transformers'' cartoons set on modern day Earth, the presence of [[human]]s in the series is extremely limited. Aside from a kid in the first season episode "[[Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X]]", humans have yet to make a physical appearance, with their presence limited to unseen voiceovers on media services. This is surprising considering that the first episode of the second season reveals that the existence of the Autobots and Decepticons are now public, with both sides directly addressing the people of Earth more than once.
*While most of the cast make use of [[evergreen]] designs, several characters who don't have toys in the accompanying toyline use stylised versions of recent toy or fiction designs. For example, [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Chromia]]'s appearance is based on her [[Chromia (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|2014-2018 IDW comic design]] while [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'' Bludgeon]] is modeled on his [[Bludgeon (Prime)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|2017 ''Robots in Disguise'' toy]]. The [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] are a special case, generally using modified versions of Starscream's design (which ''is'' based on his evergreen design). This does slightly affect [[show-accuracy]] in regards to toys: both Slipstream and Thundercracker's toys are straight [[redeco]]es of Starscream's whereas in the cartoon itself the differences between Screamer and his subordinates is more pronounced.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Wild Wheel's stasis pod was one of those seen getting sucked out of the ''Ark'' during Grimlock's flashback in "[[King of the Dinosaurs]]". (Hey, we totally called that it would be plot-relevant one day!)
*Perceptor seems to have taken over [[Maccadam]]'s [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|bar]] since his demise in "[[The End Of The Universe III]]".
* Speaking of Perceptor, his optics are ''still'' fried from his prison break in "[[The Battle For Cybertron I]]". Even if his microscope fills in for them just fine, you'd think Ratchet would at least take a look at them.

===Transformers references===
*In his flashback, Wild Wheel can be heard calling to [[Jazz (Cyberverse)|Jazz]].

===Real-world references===
*This episode features all the tropes of a story about the wild west, including a ranch, bar scenes, creature riding and even a showdown.
*Though Wild Wheel himself is an entirely new character created for this episode, his design—namely the hat, poncho, and gun-slinging skills—are based on the {{w|Man with No Name}} of {{w|Sergio Leone}}'s "Dollars Trilogy".

===Other trivia===
*In fairness to Wild Wheel's grudge, irrational and misplaced though it may be, in all this time none of his former crewmates have been shown sparing even a passing thought for him or his whereabouts. No wonder he's pissed. Of course, the out-of-universe explanation is that Wild Wheel was not conceived until this episode.

'''The Autobots and Decepticons combine forces to liberate Cybertron from a sinister alien force.'''

==Synopsis==
Resting in the remains of [[Iaconus]], an unconscious [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] is awoken by [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]. Picking up a message from [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] proclaiming the fight is not over, Windblade spies the [[Quintesson]]-controlled [[Croaton]] on the march. Vowing that he must be stopped, Windblade transforms and flies off.

Without a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] of their own, the Autobots and Decepticons can do nothing against Croaton, who at Judge [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]'s orders begins obliterating them and whatever is left of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] (much to Judge Starscream's amusement). A detachment of fliers try shooting the Titan but their attacks are ineffectual. On the streets below, Autobots and Decepticons battle the Quintesson forces. [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] come face to face with a squadron of alternate Soundwaves from across the multiverse, who attack them.

Windblade lands on Croaton and tries using her [[Cityspeaker]] powers to talk to him, but the Titan is unresponsive. At Laserbeak's indication, she heads inside the Titan's superstructure. On the streets below, Optimus, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] evade some Prosecutors only to find several defeated Autobots and Decepticons being rounded up and penned in by the Quintessons. Their momentary shock allows Judge Starscream to get the drop on Optimus, blasting him. Once again, the former Decepticon proclaims Optimus guilty of crimes against him, for which the penalty is doom! Before he can pass sentence, a portal opens up in the sky, and a purple shuttle emerges, from which leaps none other than [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]].

''[[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]] tells his audience that while he was not particularly happy to see Megatron again, sometimes the most despicable piece of scrap is exactly what you need.''

Judge Starscream tells Megatron that he is too late to save the Decepticons, but he is just in time to be judged. As he fires a laser, Megatron declares "Decepticons, attack!" and begins to glow with a strange energy, summoning a barrier that protects him from Judge Starscream's attack. Megatron explains to the stunned Cybertronians that he has travelled the multiverse and gained new powers, asking if they would like some as well. [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] whole-heartedly agrees. As Judge Starscream announces no power can stop him, Megatron shares the energy between his troops and his former enemies. At the sight of this, Judge Starscream orders the Quintesson forces to destroy them all.

With their new power, the Cybertronians effortlessly defeat the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s and Prosecutors, while Soundwave faces his interdimensional dopplegangers. Declaring them inferior, he uses his power boost to blow the Soundwaves away. Watching from Croaton's shoulder, a frustrated Judge Starscream declares the fight over and deems everyone guilty, sentencing to total annihilation. With the assistant of his fellow [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]]s, Starscream summons unspace. Globs of the un-substance begin raining down on the battlefield, disappearing Autobots and Decepticons alike. Seeing this, Megatron orders the shuttle, known as [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], to seal the portal. As Astrotain approaches, he is caught by Croaton and a gloating Judge Starscream proclaims that no-one can stop him.

Inside Croaton, Windblade uses her powers to get into the Titan's mind, finding it overrun with the same Quintesson tendrils that cover his body. Croaton explains he is under their control. Vowing to free him, Windblade summons up her strength and splits into multiple copies of herself. Attacking the Quintesson controls, she succeeds in freeing Croaton. However, this causes her to collapse, portions of energy shooting out of her in every direction. The restored Croaton tries talking to Windblade but gets no response. Breaking free of the Quintesson restraints, he begins marching away from the battle, promising to give Windblade somewhere she can rest.

Seeing the Titan leave, Judge Starscream declares he does not need him anyway and tries stopping Astrotrain on his own. Down below, Megatron notes his mistreatment of Starscream and how he must now destroy him. Calling to Optimus, he says they must join powers to defeat his treacherous lieutenant and reveals that he has has obtained his own [[Matrix of Leadership]] during his multiversal trip. Though Optimus insist this cannot be, Megatron responds that it is and they must now save the universe. Together, the two use their Matrixes to blast Judge Starscream. With a great burst of light, the former Seeker vanishes, allowing Astrotrain able to seal the portal to unspace.

''Finishing his tale, Kup tells his audience that sometimes there is a price to existence, and sometimes that price is getting along with someone you do not like. Do that, and maybe the universe will not end.''

With the war against the Quintessons over, Optimus and Megatron stare down, as Decepticons gathered from across the multiverse—[[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] among them—disembark from Astrotrain. Optimus notes that because they have saved the universe, they are all in Megatron's debt. When asked what his price is, Megatron responds that he may call in that debt, one day, but for the moment he has one demand: half of Cybertron. The Decepticons will stay on their half, and the Autobots on theirs, or there will be consequences. Reluctantly, Optimus agrees.

'''The Autobots and Decepticons combine forces to liberate Cybertron from a sinister alien force.'''

==Synopsis==
''[[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]] explains to his audience the nature of War [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, that they are tough and armed with enough firepower to take on a neutron star. However, [[Iaconus]] is just a straight-up berserker.'' Standing over [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], the newly-awoken Iaconus draws his sword and smashes the nearest building with it. [[Maccadam]] observes that the day has finally arrived and laments that he does not know how this will end.

Inside the Titan's mind, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] watches as he randomly smashes every building in sight and commands him to listen, telling him that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is under attack and that it is his job to defend it. She points out the distant form of Judge [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] and Iaconus immediately charges towards his new enemy. Seeing the colossal 'bot heading towards him, Judge Starscream panics and calls the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]], demanding he do something. Intrigued by the sight of Iaconus, which he claims has never happened before in any of the [[Quintesson]]s' conquests, the Scientist reassures Starscream he is prepared for all eventualities and that the Titan will not be a problem as he pressed a panel at his computer.

A ball of fire hurtles from the sky and land at Iaconus's feet. As it turns out, [[Croaton]] has been enslaved and upgraded by the Quintessons and squares off against Iaconus, summoning an energy whip which momentarily immobilizes his opponent. As Iaconus uses his sword to slice himself free, Croaton pulls out a large cannon which knocks Iaconus onto his back. Windblade urges him to get up but Iaconus states he is not so easily defeated. As Croaton approaches, ready to down his enemy, Iaconus kicks him hard and uses the advantage to let loose with every missile he has, knocking Croaton over. Iaconus tries to use his own cannon to slay Croaton only for the other Titan to summon an energy shield, deflecting the attack. In the Quintesson prison, the captive Autobots and Decepticons are awed.

Meanwhile in the strange other universe, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] is having difficulties with gravity. As he declares their present location his least favorite universe, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] sees [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] stirring. The scientist is wowed by the sight of the universe before using his grappling gun to make his way over to Optimus, Bumblebee, and the multiversal portal. Asks if they had not just considered using that to get home, Wheeljack activates the portal. As they step through, Wheeljack admits he does not know where they will wind up. But wherever they do, it will be home-sweet-home. As it turns out, the "where" that Wheeljack has taken them turns out to be the Scientist's laboratory. As Optimus sees Iaconus and Croaton fighting, the Scientist appears, ready to inflict some science on the Autobots.

Outside, Iaconus and Croaton continue brawling, their weapons forgotten in favour of simply punching one another. The sight of "his" Titan losing incenses Judge Starscream enough to make him go yell at Croaton, completely forgetting the captive [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], leaving her subject to the whims of gravity. Fortunately, [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] manages to catch her. While Judge Starscream rages at Croaton, Maccadam casually strolls into the Quintesson prison, which gets him noticed by the guards. Unconcerned, Maccadam transforms and makes short work of the Quintesson Prosecutors and [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s. That done, he tells the Autobots and Decepticons that it has been his pleasure to serve them and it is time to get them out.

Starscream tries pointing out Croaton's armaments to the enslaved Titan, and in Iaconus's mind, Windblade tells the War Titan to attack him. So Iaconus punches Starscream, sending him flying into the distance, though this gives Croaton the opening to tackle him. ''In their simulated prison, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] have buffed away nearly all of the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Rust Plague]]... save for one spot they missed. As the wall of rust approaches them, they seem doomed...'' Until they notice that they have been freed from the simulation by their comrades.

As the Cybertronians leave, Hot Rod notices Maccadam staying behind and calls for the bartender to come with him. Cryptic to the last, he responds that his time has come as Croaton deflects another shot from Iaconus that is heading toward the prison. Saying it is not yet Hot Rod's time, Maccadam shoves him out of the way. The beam hits and, with a massive explosion, Maccadam perishes. Inside Iaconus's mind, Windblade hears the War Titan rage at the loss of his last citizen before noticing Croaton charging at Iaconus again.

Inside the Scientist's lair, Optimus and Bumblebee gun down copy after copy of the Scientist, but Optimus notes they cannot keep going on this way. Looking at one of the corpses, Wheeljack discovers it is giving off a signal. Following it to a panel in the floor, Wheeljack opens it and finds a subchamber. Investigating further inside, he finds the true form of the Scientist, a diminutive spider thing. The Scientist panics, summoning tendrils to try and immobilize Wheeljack, but the Autobot effortlessly overcomes them. Once Wheeljack brings his fist down on the Quintesson, the various bodies of the Scientist shut down in response to their controller's death. Optimus, Bumblebee, and Wheeljack leave to find the others, unaware of the fact they have stumbled across the Scientist's leftover collection of alternate Soundwaves, who all reactivate...

Iaconus manages to overpower Croaton and prepares to deal the finishing blow to his opponent as Judge Starscream returns. Angrily demanding if he must do everything himself, Starscream summons a portion of unspace, which surrounds Iaconus's head. Having been decapitated, the last War Titan's body falls backwards and shifts back into its city mode. With his opponent gone, Croaton spots Optimus, Bumblebee and Wheeljack emerging from the tower's ruins and advances.

'''The Autobots and Decepticons combine forces to liberate Cybertron from a sinister alien force.'''

==Synopsis==
Having escaped Judge [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] flies through the streets of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], making her way to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], where the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s are celebrating their victory. [[Maccadam]] reluctantly serves up drinks, telling his unwelcome patrons they had better drink up fast. When the Sharkticons ask why, Windblade enters.

The Sharkticons are amused at the sight but Windblade just gestures for them to bring it. The shark-bots attack, and the [[Cityspeaker]] mops the floor with them, until only an impressed [[Gnaw (Cyberverse)|Gnaw]] is left standing. The Sharkticon leader vows to show the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] fear, but Windblade responds she does not do fear. They fight, until Gnaw manages to land a hit with his spear, using the opportunity to jam one of Windblade's rotors. However, her other rotor is still working just fine, and she uses it to hurl Gnaw into the wall, where he is crushed by the bar jukebox.

The fight over, Windblade apologizes for the mess made, but Maccadam does not mind, even offering her a free drink for her efforts. When Windblade asks about the "no fighting" rule Maccadam's has always had, the bartender chortles that—in this case—he will make an exception. Their conversation turns serious as they get to why Windblade is here. She wants to wake up [[Iaconus]] and much as the ancient bartender has tried putting it off, it is time for the last War [[Titan (group)|Titan]] to rise again. Maccadam cautions Windblade that Iaconus is swarming with enemies before placing an ancient warhammer on the bar, reassuring her she will not have to fight them alone.

Elsewhere, Judge Starscream is taking advantage of his captive audience to rant about their injuries against him. ''[[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]] interrupts his story, assuring his audience that this went on for ages, while more important things were happening elsewhere.''

[[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] take stock of the bizarre universe they have wound up in and do not like it. Trying to get to the injured [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], their path is blocked by the universe shifting around them again, though Bumblebee finds he is now next to the portal. Advising him to stay put, Optimus tries to rescue Wheeljack, having been given a path that nearly leads right to him, save a gap. However, as Optimus tries to jump the distance, reality shifts again, and he falls to the ground. Undaunted, Optimus just remarks that recovering Wheeljack will take effort.

In the bowels of Iaconus, Windblade and Maccadam make short work of the Sharkticons and [[Quintesson]] Prosecutors in their way, soon reaching the [[Cityspeaker]] chamber. Maccadam tries warning Windblade of the danger of speaking to the Titan and not just because of his immense power: when he and his fellow citizens put Iaconus to sleep, they made sure no Cityspeaker would ever wake him again by setting a psychic trap. Windblade asks how she can overcome the trap but the bartender assures her she has everything she needs already with her. Not assured by his cryptic remarks, Windblade tries speaking with the Titan. Inside his mind, she finds Iaconus's memories fragmented. When she tries accessing a memory, she activates the psychic trap, which begins to overwhelm her, until she remembers Maccadam's words. Using her [[Stormfall Sword]], she slices her way free of the trap and urges Iaconus to speak with her. After a moment's silence, the Titan awakens.

Back in Iacon, Judge Starscream is ''still'' ranting at everyone, wanting to know where Optimus and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] have gotten to. [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] tries bluffing, claiming they are elsewhere on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. She is soon joined by everyone else, as they give their own version of events. Everyone except for [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]], who is a few pages behind. Losing his patience, Judge Starscream grabs Arcee and begins zapping her, demanding that he be told the truth he wants or else he will kill her. Arcee remains defiant, telling the oversized [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] head she can take his worst. Just as Judge Starscream vows she shall, the ground begins to shake. Scanning the ground, Perceptor realizes it is not an earthquake. He is proven right as the ruins of Iacon City are pushed aside by Iaconus, who transforms into his towering robot mode and lets out a mighty roar.

'''The Autobots and Decepticons combine forces to liberate Cybertron from a sinister alien force.'''

==Synopsis==
''Standing in front of a giant Autobot symbol, [[Kup (Cyberverse)|Kup]] addresses the universe, telling them that they nearly found themselves wiped out all thanks to one 'bot: [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]].''

''Having last been seen on [[Croaton]]'s back, Starscream was dragged along for the ride as the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] passed through a space storm and then a star, the heat causing him to black out. When he came too, he saw a ship in the distance. But it was a [[Quintesson]] ship, and Croaton was disabled. Starscream was dragged in front of the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], and the egotistical Decepticon was almost immediately found in contempt. Before the Sharkticons could execute him, Starscream managed to talk his way out by pointing the Quintessons in the direction of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the [[AllSpark]]. In gratitude, the Judge promised Starscream the highest reward the Quintessons can offer... The joke, however, was on Starscream. As he entered the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]'s lab, the Quintesson immobilized him, but assured the Decepticon he would be gentle with his face.''

The newly ascended Judge Starscream uses his Quintesson given powers to immobilize Autobots and Decepticons alike, but his gloating is ruined when the two personalities he now shares a body with disagree on what to do with their captives. One wishes to probe them, while the other simply wishes to eat them all. Hot Rod asks they make up their mind, causing Starscream to declare them all in contempt. The assembled Autobot-Decepticon alliance open fire on Starscream, but he immobilizes them as well then commands the Prosecutors to round up everyone else.

Once everyone else has been rounded up, the Scientist explains to Starscream his role as a Judge: the Quintessons believe that every universe should be judged by its inhabitants, so they select representatives from each species to be a part of a Judge. Reassuring him that all the prior Judges can offer advice, the Scientist calls up the previous Quintesson Judge. It explains that once Starscream reaches a verdict, he will need to know how to destroy the universe and the best way to destroy space is with [[transwarp|unspace]], which they have access to.

With the orientation over, the Scientist tells Judge Starscream he must begin immediately. However, Judge Starscream refuses to do so until [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] have answered for their crimes against ''him''. The Scientist's attempts to explain that destroying the universe would destroy them along with it are ignored, since Judge Starscream wants to see them humiliated (and the other two want them probed and eaten). The Scientist balks since they are already far behind schedule, but Judge Starscream is adamant.

Down below, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] tells [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] to do his thing, the Decepticon warning that it will only work once. He lets loose a massive burst of sound which paralyzes the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] guards and the Cybertronians begin a jail-break. However, Judge Starscream notices and again uses his powers to freeze everyone. With that, a Sharkticon stabs out Soundwave's speaker and Judge Starscream gloats.

''Kup reassures his audience that while the escape didn't work for everyone, it did work for one 'bot, and that's enough.''

Unseen by Judge Starscream, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] manages to escape the arena, flying off into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. Meanwhile, Hot Rod and Soundwave are brought before Judge Starscream, and for once the three personalities are in agreement: the two are very, ''very'' guilty. Noting how well they work together, Judge Starscream doles out an ironic punishment, having the Scientist place two of the virtual reality masks over their faces. The two will continue to work together until he has rendered judgement.

''In the simulation, the two are faced with the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Rust Plague]] rapidly approaching on all sides. Their only hope is to buff for their lives. As they do, Soundwave vows to make Starscream pay.''

Judge Starscream demands the captive Cybertronians tell him the location of Optimus and Megatron. [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] tells him he will never find them, regardless of how powerful he is. Optimus and Megatron were lost when the Quintesson tower went down. Judge Starscream refuses to believe it, as does the listening Kup. Their reaction is justified: as the Judge was raging out of control, Optimus told [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] to head for the multiverse portal with the injured [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], declaring it their only chance for survival.

The three go through the portal and wind up in a very different universe, consisting of free-floating stairs and platforms. No sooner has Bumblebee said that at least they are safe, reality starts shifting around them, sending the scout falling...

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The episode opens with a flashback detailing what happened to Starscream and Croaton after the events of "[[Ghost Town]]", as well as showing why the Quintessons came to Cybertron in the first place.
*Optimus, Bumblebee and Wheeljack were inside the Quintesson tower when it was apparently destroyed [[The Judge|just last episode]]. The flashback here is a little bit of a cheat, since that episode showed the tower going down immediately after the Judge flew into it, but here there was enough time for them to get out. Perceptor assumes Megatron went down as well, because he didn't see Megatron taking off in the Quintesson ship (because... y'know.)
*The Rust Plague first appeared in the flashback sequences of "[[Terminal Velocity]]" where it consumed [[Velocitron]].

===Transformers references===
*One of Judge Starscream's other faces is a [[Velgrox]], a race of carnivorous aliens seen in the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' episode "[[New Normal]]".

===Real-world references===
*The other of Judge Starscream's other faces is a standard {{w|Grey alien}}, its constant demands to probe the Cybertronians references some of the more... unsavory tales of alien abduction.

'''The Autobots and Decepticons discover the terrible secret behind the Quintesson menace.'''

==Synopsis==

[[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] perform a fly-by of the [[Quintesson]] tower, drawing the attention of a Prosecutor patrol, but they successfully manage to return to [[Iaconus]], the Titan's cloaking module hiding them. They return [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]'s scanner to him with the data they have gathered. [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] eagerly expresses his desire to destroy it.

With the data, Wheeljack explains to the Autobot-Decepticon alliance how exactly the Quintessons have been able to get around multiple universes: their ship has a multiverse drive. If he can get to it, he can reprogram it and sent the invaders into another universe. Unseen by all, [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] slinks away, heading to Iaconus's stasis barracks where [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] is brooding. Though the Decepticon leader snarls at him to leave, Dead End says he has something that might interest him. Megatron asks what in the universe could possibly interest him, and Dead End smirks...

Back with the alliance, they see the security camera footage of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] forces swarming outside the tower. [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] observe that there is simply too many of them to make getting to the tower feasible. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] despairs that Wheeljack's plan will work, to which [[Maccadam]] agrees. It will not work ''until'' they turn off Iaconus's cloaking module. Hot Rod and Bumblebee are not taken with this, noting that the Quintessons would just march right in on them and wipe them out. Maccadam points out that if the Quintessons are busy doing that, they will not be defending their ship. With the plan agreed on, Hot Rod asks who would be crazy enough to sneak onto the ship. [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] immediately volunteers, as does Bumblebee. And so does Megatron.

As all their forces report they are ready, Hot Rod gives Maccadam the go-ahead to remove the cloaking module. The Quintesson [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] sees the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] and panics, vowing to destroy it before it destroys them. Lord [[Gnaw (Cyberverse)|Gnaw]] vows to lead the attack but the Judge overrules him: ''they'' will lead the attack personally. The Quintesson forces swarm Iaconus and the resistance fights back. In the command center, Hot Rod watches, and feeling the need to do something, goes to join the fight himself. Soundwave stops him, telling him commanders ''command''. And they have backup, as outside [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] leads a squad of fliers in swarming the Judge. Seeing this, Hot Rod calls the infiltration team, telling them it is now or never. The team makes their way inside, Wheeljack noting the multiverse drive is at the top of the ship. As Bumblebee remarks on their good luck that no-one is there, the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] watches them.

Back with Iaconus, Hot Rod orders all forces to hold the line, but the Quintesson forces prove relentless to the extent that [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] find themselves running out of ammo. Hot Rod calls the team again, telling them to hurry up. In the ship, the team reaches the multiverse drive. Wheeljack is enraptured by the sight of a gateway to other universes but the mood turns when the Scientist makes himself known and tells them they should run. Megatron shoots the Quintesson dead but a back-up body immediately appears. Optimus shoots that one and this time several more replace it. Optimus orders Wheeljack to complete the mission while he and Bumblebee hold off the Scientist.

With the others clearing a path for him, Wheeljack reaches the multiverse drive, not noticing as he rigs the drive that Dead End is giving a conspiratorial look to Megatron. Preparing to bail out, he warns the Decepticons that if they do not leave, they will be going to another universe. Dead End states ''they'' will but he will ''not'' and shoots Wheeljack, sending him falling to the floor. Megatron tells Optimus he can keep this universe but the Decepticon leader will take all the rest. The ship detaches from the Quintesson tower and disappears into a portal. The Judge witnesses this and begins shooting off a barrier that disables Cybertronian, Quintesson and Sharkticon alike.

Hot Rod announces that it is time for the commanders to join in, which Soundwave agrees with. The two rush outside, joined by [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]], where they dogpile onto the rampaging Judge, hitting it with everything they have. The Judge starts firing wildly, their shots disabled the tower's shields. Optimus witnesses this and tells Bumblebee they need to evacuate, a decision that proves wise when a shot from the now completely out-of-control Judge slices through the tower, depowering it. The Judge flies into the structure, toppling it.

Clambering onto the wreckage, Hot Rod takes in the sight: with the Judge, the tower, and the Quintessons no more, the Transformers have won. But the celebration proves short lived, as the rubble around the tower shifts, and the new Judge emerges, its three faces spinning rapidly until it settles on the familiar face of [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]. As judge of the universe, Starscream declares them all ''guilty''.

'''In a last-ditch effort, the Autobots and Decepticons work together to try and save their universe.'''

==Synopsis==
In the [[Quintesson]] tower, the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] reams the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] for putting the new Judge at risk, requiring them to get involved. The Scientist reassures his superior that everything is fine. Even without the [[spark]]s of the captive Cybertronians, the new Judge is growing stronger every day, as it is feeding off the energy of the [[AllSpark]].

In the Resistance base, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] relay this same information to [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], the former vowing they will join together to stop the Quintessons. Feelings among the two armies are less than convivial, though, and Megatron rebuffs Optimus's offer, stating he could not care less about any of what is going on and storms out. Hot Rod tries getting the attention of both factions to no luck. Soundwave has more success blasting them with a burst of sound. The two declare their plan of an all-out assault on the Quintesson tower by Autobots and Decepticons, a plan that is not met with a rosy reception and the bad blood on both sides. Hot Rod questions how they are going to get both sides to work together. Soundwave's answer is simple: they ''make'' them.

Inside [[Iaconus]]'s training facility, Autobots and Decepticons are paired off into groups of four and sent into the training simulator. Time passes, as 'bots and 'cons fight the drones and one another, but soon enough the teams manage to overcome their differences and start working together. As [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Alphastrike]] plead for another go around in the simulator, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] approaches Hot Rod and Soundwave, asking when it will be her turn. But they have something else in mind for her, or more accurately, some''one'': [[Iaconus]].

Hot Rod and Soundwave lead Windblade to the slumbering War [[Titan (group)|Titan]], noting they need his power to fight the Quintessons but have had no luck waking him. As Windblade notes, this is because neither of them are a [[Cityspeaker]]. Stepping forward, she tries using her power to speak to the slumbering giant, but the process proves painful and Windblade is forcibly ejected. [[Maccadam]] makes his presence known, telling Windblade that Iaconus's power could have easily destroyed her. She may be a Cityspeaker, but Iaconus is not just a city: he is a conqueror. Soundwave retorts they need a conqueror, but the bartender states now is not the time to awaken the Titan. Windblade is resolved to try again, but Hot Rod just states they will work with what they have.

What they have is a massive attack on the tower, as Optimus helps deliver a massive bomb with the intent of using it to breach the Quintesson force field. The united front manages to make short work of the Prosecutors standing guard outside. As Optimus approaches with the payload, Soundwave realizes something is approaching. A horde of [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s emerge. Speaking as the Judge's representative, Lord [[Gnaw (Cyberverse)|Gnaw]] declares the Cybertronians in contempt and orders his troops to attack.

The resistance fights back but they are no match for the savagery of the Sharkticons, with Optimus being overwhelmed and separated from the bomb. As a horrified Windblade watches, Gnaw destroys the bomb before it can reach the shield, the blast stunning the Cybertronians. A determined Windblade takes off while Gnaw commands his troops to let no Cybertronian escape. The situation dire, Soundwave calls for retreat.

Windblade reaches the slumbering Iaconus and once again tries waking him up, as outside the Sharkticons overrun the allied forces. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake and split as Iaconus stirs. Witnessing this, Gnaw orders the Sharkticons to fall back. But as Windblade keeps going, Maccadam tackles her down, telling her he has lost too many Cityspeakers this way. Outside, the Titan's arm hangs frozen against the skyline.

*The resistance went through Iaconus's training simulator back in "[[The Citizen]]". Evidently someone's tweaked the programming, as it now spits out duplicate Prosecutors, instead of the alien warriors from that episode.
*Lord Gnaw was depicted as a statue back in "[[Wiped Out]]", but with a different design. In this episode, he resembles the other Sharkticons, making him appear more like his Warrior Class toy.

*As the Autobots and Decepticons begin training, Hot Rod states he hopes they have "[[The Touch|the touch]]", prompting Soundwave to start playing music. Unfortunately, the reference is hampered by the fact that the track he plays is a generic rock instrumental and not the actual song.

'''Hot Rod and Soundwave team up against the Quintesson Scientist.'''

==Synopsis==

''A group of bird-bots fly through [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s skies. [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] uses a snare to catch one and though it struggles, he soon tames it, naming the beast "[[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]".''

Cybertronians in the Loop start dropping dead, their sparks utterly drained by the [[Quintesson]] machines. The resistance can only watch as they slice through part of the floor, hoping to reach the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. They soon reach a door which is locked shut. Before [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] can finish asking [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] how they can get in, Soundwave marches past and uses his abilities to mimic a Quintesson Prosecutor, which opens it. Hot Rod hurries in after him, and the door locks behind them again.

On the other side of the door, the two find a sinisterly-lit laboratory, the dwelling place of the Scientist, who welcomes them. An unimpressed Hot Rod tries to threaten "Mr. Squiggles" into turning off the Loop and letting the other Cybertronians go, but he is ignored as the Scientist instead gushes over the idea having another Soundwave to add to his extensive collection. The Scientist explains that when the Quintessons judge a universe, he likes to keep a souvenir. And each universe's Soundwave ''is'' that souvenir. At the lab's door, the others try busting the door open but it is impervious to everything they can throw at it.

The Scientist continues on about his collection, unimpressed by Soundwave's threats, having heard them from all the other Soundwaves. Soundwave breaks free and tries to attack but his degrading condition means he freezes up again. The alarmed Scientist effortlessly fixes Soundwave, recognizing the damage being from improperly leaving his parade simulation. Hot Rod questions the decision to make the simulation all about the parade. The Scientist responds that it does not matter what universe one is from; everyone loves a parade. Soundwave is fixed and thanks his saviour and would-be collector by shooting him dead.

With the Scientist down, the two Cybertronians try to access the Loop's programming and shut it down, but Soundwave finds the control node is above them. As Hot Rod states they will just go find it and shut it off, another Scientist descends from the ceiling. Without missing a beat, Hot Rod shoots him dead again. Another Scientist appears, unfazed, and they shoot him too. However, more and more bodies keep emerging, the Scientist's monologue not stopping as they kill each body in turn, until an alarm goes off. His "game" over, the Scientist grabs Hot Rod and Soundwave and tells them it is feeding time. He proceeds to the center of the room, and a large pod. As the Scientist gushes over his project, Soundwave announces "do it now", much to Hot Rod's confusion. Only the Decepticon was ''not'' speaking to him but to ''Laserbeak'', who flies off.

At the door to the lab, the others prepare to blast it open, only for Laserbeak to open it for them and present the Loop's source code to Perceptor. [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] urges them to hurry, since the 'bots trapped in the Loop are now starting to drop like flies. [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] wonders about Hot Rod and Soundwave, but Dead End figures they can handle themselves.

In the lab, Hot Rod asks just what is inside the pod. The Scientist explains that proper judgement of a universe can only be done by a being born of that universe. Soundwave realizes this means they are growing a new Judge. Every Judge the Scientist grows is unique, but he assures them they are in for a real treat with the one he is growing. Hot Rod asks if this is why he has been draining everyone's sparks, but the Scientist reveals that he has also been draining the [[AllSpark]] as well.

Upstairs, the others reach the Loop's control node and Perceptor and Clobber plug themselves in. ''In the Autobot simulation, Perceptor uses the source code to halt the parade, but his efforts meet only confusion from his fellow Autobots. Frustrated, he summons a prey of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammer]]s, the flying beasties managing to startle everyone into transforming, freeing them from the Loop. Meanwhile, in the Decepticon simulation, Clobber's efforts do not work as well, so Perceptor repeats his Air Hammer attack, and the Decepticons break out as well.''

In his lab, the Scientist reacts with outrage to the breakout, vowing to disassemble his captives. Hot Rod and Soundwave shoot at the pod, damaging it, and escape while the Quintesson is distracted. Getting outside to see Autobots and Decepticons alike getting to freedom, Hot Rod notes they made a good team. The mood is soured when the tendrils surrounding the tower merge with those of the Quintesson ship and as a horrified Hot Rod looks on, a forcefield covers the entire structure.

'''Hot Rod takes a strike team to free Windblade but gets captured by the Quintessons.'''

==Synopsis==
In the bowels of the slumbering [[Iaconus]], the resistance flee the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s security measures until they finally reach a large room containing the Titan's face. [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]]'s attempt at waking him goes nowhere and Dead End repeats his statement that their efforts are pointless, an assessment [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] agrees with. They cannot wake the citybot without a [[Cityspeaker]]; therefore, they need [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]].

In the [[Quintesson]] tower, Dead End, Whirl and Perceptor sneak past the guarding Prosecutors, disguising themselves with inactive versions of the Quintesson spark-draining machines, while [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] use the [[cortical psychic patch]] to plug into the Loop. Perceptor reaches Windblade and affixes a signal interruptor device over the Spark draining helmet, giving them the go-ahead.

''Inside the Loop, they find Windblade chatting with [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], enjoying the Parade of Metals. Hot Rod has Clobber occupy Chromia's attention while he has Perceptor show Windblade what's actually happening. Unfortunately, the others have been found by the Quintessons, interrupting their efforts, and Windblade goes back to cheering for the parade.''

The resistance tries fighting off the Quintessons, but despite their efforts, Hot Rod is captured and Whirl is shot down. As Whirl crash-lands, he dislodges some of the machinery from the dormant [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]]. Watching Hot Rod's abduction, Dead End says it is too late, and he and Clobber leave. As they exit the tower, Clobber worries for Perceptor and Whirl, but Dead End is more concerned about them, though he does not finish the thought as Soundwave appears behind them. However, something is clearly off with him, as he jitters and collapses at their feet.

In the tower, Hot Rod is unthreatened by the Prosecutors. Spotting a pair of [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s, who dismiss his guards, he tries making a connection, but the Sharkticons aren't interested in talking. He tries transforming and escaping, but his captors catch him before he can get anywhere, and drag him to their superior: a [[Judge (Cyberverse)|gargantuan, five-faced mechanoid]], the acting judge of the universe. And court is now in session.

Back at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], Perceptor analyses Soundwave while Dead End and Clobber complain about their luck in waking Soundwave of all bots.

Back in the tower, the Judge declares Quintessons the masters of all the [[multiverse]]. One face wishes simply to burn Hot Rod but another declares punishment will come after the trial, wanting to know how Hot Rod has evaded the Prosecutors. Hot Rod tries to inquire what exactly the Quintessons are judges of. The reasonable face explains: there are an infinite number of [[universe (universe)|universe]]s, and the Quintessons travel to each one to judge if that universe is worthy. If it is not, they destroy it. Hot Rod asks who they are to judge his universe, but the Judge clarifies: they are not the judge of this universe, but he'll ''wish'' they were.

Outside, Whirl reports in to Perceptor that he has had no luck finding Hot Rod. Perceptor tells him to keep looking. [[Maccadam]] reassures him everything will be fine. Hot Rod hasn't even met "the scientist" yet.

Meanwhile, the Judge becomes impatient with Hot Rod's deflections and finds him in contempt. Their verdict is reached: Hot Rod is guilty and sentenced to the Loop. Having had enough of the parade, Hot Rod busts free from his Sharkticon guards and drives off.

At Maccadam's, Clobber and Dead End investigate the still-inactive Soundwave, the cycloptic Decepticon asking what they should do if he does not wake up. Dead End asks if she means they should deactivate him, saying he thinks it is a good idea. A barely-functional Soundwave disagrees.

In the tower, Hot Rod tries evading the Prosecutors, eventually coming to a door. Unfortunately for him, it leads right out to a very, very long drop to the ground. With the Quintessons fast approaching, Hot Rod decides to make the jump anyway. Before he hits the ground, Whirl manages to swoop in to rescue him. Still pursued by the Prosecutors, the two dive into Maccadam's. Hot Rod thanks Whirl for the rescue and is in turned "thanked" by Soundwave.

===Continuity notes===
*Soundwave's poor health from his impromptu awakening is an implicit reason, which the next episode will confirm, as to why the resistance don't just yank those face-masks off everyone's faces, rather than going through the whole mess with the Cortical psychic patch we've been seeing for the last several episodes.
*Hot Rod attempts to befriend a Sharkticon by referencing his membership of [[The Snouts]] in "[[Wiped Out]]".
*The Quintessons seen since "[[The Loop]]" are identified as Prosecutors.

===Transformers references===
*Hot Rod swears by [[Amalgamous Prime]] when he sees the Judge.
*The Judge is designed after the traditional Quintesson appearance - five rotating faces on one body, though with a few differences, such as each face having a different personality, and the body being less ovoid. Their stated role as judges of the multiverse is a new version of their fondness for subjecting people to trials.
*Hot Rod's story references the tendency for toys of [[Cliffjumper (disambiguation)|Cliffjumper]] to be red versions of [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]].

===Real-world references===
*TBA

===Other trivia===
*After the last few episodes showed the Quintessons being pretty poor with their security, leaving their victims entirely unguarded, they've now taken to Prosecutors prowling around. Though evidently they haven't learned ''that'' much, if an inactive face-mask which isn't even plugged in is enough to fool them.

'''The Cybertronian resistance make an unexpected discovery about Maccadam's.'''

==Synopsis==

''In the very distant past, the Cybertronian who will one day be known as [[Maccadam]] leads a tribe of Cybertronians in battle against an alien race. As the battle rages, a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] strides across the battlefield, sending the aliens running. In celebration, Maccadam begins chanting the Titan's name: [[Iaconus]]. Much later, Maccadam tends his bar, as [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] leads a crowd of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] fans in cheering for [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], jubilantly telling the bartender they won. "Yes, we did." Maccadam responds.''

In the present day, [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] reveals to the rest of the resistance that [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] is a Titan. Learning that the Titan is not active, Hot Rod declares it cannot help them. That is Perceptor tells reveals that the Titan has a cloaking module, which is how the [[Quintesson]]s have been kept at bay. If they can find that module, they can replicate it for themselves. Wondering how to get down into the Titan's main structure, they go into the backroom, where Perceptor finds a hidden elevator. Hot Rod advises caution, having dealt with Titan defences [[Ghost Town|before]]. Unfortunately, [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]], [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] all pile into the elevator anyway.

Hot Rod tries squeezing in, but between the four already there, there is no room. The situation is not helped when Whirl's nervousness with small spaces makes him transform, causing Clobber to push Dead End into one of the elevator's buttons. The elevator hurtles down before opening onto a dark corridor, where something growls from the dark. Dead End instantly presses a button again, sending the elevator further down to a larger, more well-lit space.

As soon as the group enter, the door closes behind them and weapons emerge from the wall. Before Hot Rod can finish suggesting no-one touch anything, the others race over to grab them. And despite his caution, Hot Rod is not immune to the weapons' allure. As soon as he does, a voice calls out, telling them to "prepare for the ultimate test". A multi-limbed warrior emerges from the walls, and Dead End decapitates it, revealing it was a drone. The voice declares training level one is finished. Clobber realizes they've walked into a training simulator (or "thingy", as she puts it). Hot Rod insists they do not have time to spare, but after a few seconds violence decides maybe they do.

In rapid succession, the group goes from level 2, to 184, to 352. By level 504, all of them are starting to get sluggish, but insist on continuing onward to keep their high score going. Level 504 begins with them being surrounded by drones. Hot Rod calls in Perceptor, who asks if everyone else is done having fun yet before disconnecting, leaving the four surrounded. The drones power up their weapons... only to suddenly power down. The voice declares training is over and failed. Perceptor enters from a side-door, carrying his severed right arm, and asks if they have learned something.

Making their way through the Titan's corridors, Clobber inquires if Perceptor is okay. He informs her he lost his arm to a monster, then fell down one hundred and eighty-two floors worth of elevator shaft yet has managed to scan the Titan's workings and found a medical facility, an armory, and an energon depot. Taking another elevator down, the group enter a large stasis barracks, but their hopes of back-up are dashed when Hot Rod finds every pod is empty. According to Perceptor, there are ten thousand of those pods, and they are ''all'' empty. The Titan's been abandoned. Hot Rod wonders where the crew went, while Perceptor is concerned. The sheer scale of the Titan they have found means it can only be the ''last'' War Titan, Iaconus. Dead End is sceptical, not believing Iaconus was real. Hot Rod insists they keep going to the cloaking module, unaware a creature is following them.

As Clobber wonders whether [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] was named after the War Titan, a crocodile-like mechanoid attacks her. Using the techniques they honed in the training simulation, the group try freeing Clobber from the creature. Once they do, they run from it and head straight towards the cloaking module. As they approach, Maccadam makes his presence known, telling them they will not take the module now because it will end badly for them. Clarifying on the subject, he stated that the Quintessons will find them and drag them back to their parade. Perceptor declares he knows who Maccadam is: a citizen of Iaconus. Maccadam confirms that he is the ''last'' citizen of Iaconus. Hot Rod calls him on knowing about the Titan's power and keeping it hidden, but Maccadam states he was protecting them from Iaconus. All the stasis pods they passed belonged to his friends, who died to stop him.

''In the past, at the end of the Age of [[Expansion]], Iaconus returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as the last War Titan. But because a War Titan without a war is dangerous, Iaconus went mad, beginning his own war. His own citizens fought against him, eventually defeating the Titan, but at the cost of Maccadam being the only one left.''

His story finished, Maccadam tells the resistance Iaconus must never awaken, for while he may defeat their enemies, he will inevitably tear the world apart. Suddenly turning jovial again, the bartender suggests they go have a drink. As they go back through the barracks, the crocodile-bot reappears, only for Maccadam to smack the animal-bot and send it running off. He explains that the crocodile-bot, known as [[Skullcruncher (Cyberverse)|Skullcruncher]], wandered into Iaconus millennia ago and let it stay to keep out the "riff-raff". Once they are back on the surface, Perceptor asks Hot Rod what his plan is now. Hot Rod's answer is simple: they ''wake'' Iaconus.

===Continuity notes===
*The mystery of Maccadam deepens. Already shown to have an unusual view of time, this episode seems to answer a few questions, showing he once led a tribe of physically identical 'bots in the Age of Expansion, as a citizen of Iaconus. His survival over the several aeons Cybertron has been abandoned evidently comes not from any supernatural ability like, say, being one of the Thirteen, but just from having access to Iaconus's energon depot for all that time. Of course, he's shown to definitely have ''something'' going on, being able to not only see the future, but potential futures as well. And it might just be of note that in the short flashback of Mac leading his tribe, he isn't addressed by name...
*Hot Rod mentions having ventured within a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] before and their internal defences, referencing his journey into [[Croaton]] in "[[Ghost Town]]."

'''A frustrated Hot Rod attempts to free more of his comrades while Perceptor makes an epic discovery.'''

==Synopsis==

''It is a beautiful, sunlit day on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], a perfect day for a parade. But the Autobots' enjoyment of the Parade of Metals is spoiled when [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] starts attacking the marching band. Advancing on [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], Hot Rod declares that this will be his ''last'' parade...''

At [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], the mood is grim and not helped by [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]]'s complaining. Hot Rod tells the Decepticon he is free to leave and get shoved right back in the Loop by the [[Quintesson]]s. Dead End says he would rather be back at the parade than put up with the Autobot any second longer. Things nearly come to blows, until [[Maccadam]] intervenes, reminding the two of his "no fighting" rule. [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] tells Hot Rod he is wasting time, but Hot Rod responds he does not know what to do.

Perceptor tells him they need a leader, which Hot Rod takes to mean freeing Optimus. Ignoring Perceptor's attempts to clarify that wasn't what he meant, Hot Rod vows to free the Autobot leader, and takes off, telling Perceptor to stay in the bar where it's safe. His words inspire curiosity in the scientist, who wonders just why they are safe from the Quintessons. Reaching the Quintesson tower, Hot Rod plugs himself into the [[cortical psychic patch]]. ''Hot Rod's attempts to reach Optimus are stymied by his fellow Autobots, who unwittingly act out the same roles as usual, and the Loop resets on Hot Rod.''

Back at Maccadam's, Perceptor tries to ask Maccadam why the Quintessons have not been able to detect the ragtag resistance, not realizing the bartender is presently absent. Perceptor walks out of the bar's door and begins yelling to attract Quintesson attentions, much to [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] and Dead End's alarm. A Quintesson approaches, but just as it gets close, Perceptor steps over the bar's threshold, and the alien stops dead. Despite their standing in plain sight, the creature can no longer see them and flies away, intriguing Perceptor.

''Back in the Loop, Hot Rod vows to make it to Optimus Prime. Running past the Loop's events, he reaches Optimus and implores him to wake up, but Optimus is too deeply immersed in the simulation to respond, and the Loop resets once more.''

Back at Maccadam's, Perceptor notes there is something about the building that is shielding them from the Quintesson, and wonders where the bar's owner has gotten to. At that, Clobber finally notices Hot Rod's absence and charges out of the door to find him. Finding something fascinating during his scan of the bar, Perceptor takes off, telling Dead End to follow. Hating himself for doing so, Dead End reluctantly complies.

''In the Loop, Hot Rod tries to reach Optimus again, and again, and again. But every time, he has barely seconds to get Optimus's attention before the Loop inevitably resets.'' Meanwhile, Dead End follows Perceptor, the blinded scientist climbing one of the buildings surrounding Maccadam's.

''Pushed to desperation, Hot Rod runs flat-out through the Loop to reach Optimus. In that desperation, he manages to unknowingly startle [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] into transforming, freeing the helicopter-bot from the Quintessons' mind prison. However, Hot Rod's attempts at warning his fellow Autobots only earn him a punch in the face from Optimus, miffed about the parade being ruined and Hot Rod's constant attempts to tell him it is not real. For a moment, it looks like Optimus might break free. But... it is the perfect day for a parade. Before Hot Rod can try any further, he is dragged out of the simulation.''

The Quintessons have found Hot Rod and pulled him out of the Loop. Fortunately, Clobber shows up to rescue her friend, punching the Quintessons away. Hot Rod laments how he could not free Optimus, or anyone. However, he is immediately proven wrong when a charging Quintesson is shot down by Whirl.

Elsewhere, Dead End catches up with Perceptor, asking just what the scientist is up to. Perceptor explains that Maccadam has been able to hide because the bar is just the smallest part of a much larger structure, one the size of a city. All this time, they have been hiding in a [[Titan (group)|Titan]].

'''Hot Rod and Clobber accidentally free the wrong bot from Quintesson control.'''

==Synopsis==
''It is a beautiful, sunlit day on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and all is fun and celebration for the Decepticons at the Parade of Metals. An enthusiastic [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] makes his way through the crowds, eager to get a better look at the platinum float. He accidentally treads on [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]]'s foot as he passes, prompting the grumpy Decepticon to grumble. Lockdown spots [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] on the other side of the street. The cycloptic Decepticon suddenly charges Lockdown and starts pummelling him, much to Dead End's approval. Clobber implores Lockdown to wake up, telling him things are not real, but Lockdown is too enraptured by the parade to care, while a confused and annoyed Dead End watches. Clobber tries to explain what is going on, but only manages to confuse her comrades in-arms. Momentarily distracted by the amusement of [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] getting crushed by a falling cube, Clobber tries again, telling Lockdown he needs to transform in order to escape, but Lockdown's attention is drawn to the parade's grand marshal, [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. A frustrated Clobber gives up and disappears from sight, to Dead End's shock.''

Back in the real world, Clobber complains about her lack of success to [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]]. [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] calls in, telling Hot Rod has found another [[cortical psychic patch]]. Clobber recognises the location as one of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s old labs. The two transform and head out.

''Back in the Loop, Dead End wonders about what he heard Clobber say, and transforms.'' Awakening to find himself in a room filled with other Cybertronians, Dead End finds Lockdown, [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]], [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]], and even Megatron himself have all been captured. Everyone's faces are covered by mysterious pulsing tendrils, all leading off to one place. Wandering about yet unable to remove the tendrils, he finds an ominous glowing pit. Accidentally knocking some rubble into the pit, he immediately sets off alarms, waking up several [[Quintesson]]s. Dead End flees into the streets of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], eventually managing to evade his pursuers. Noting he needs to get off the streets, Dead End spies Shockwave's old lab.

Inside, Dead End finds Clobber and Hot Rod searching the place. Clobber is unnerved by the place, but Hot Rod tells her they cannot leave until they find the psychic patch, neither noticing the lurking newcomer. Hot Rod rummages, soon uncovering the psychic patch, and they leave. As they reach their hideout, Dead End makes himself known by ramming Hot Rod, assuming the Autobots are somehow responsible for Cybertron's current condition. Drawing out a gun, Dead End battles Hot Rod before his shot goes wild and causes an explosion, drawing the attention of the Quintessons. Clobber and Hot Rod flee while dragging a horrified Dead End with them. Once inside, Dead End inquires about Hot Rod, having assumed he died during the battle for Cybertron. Hot Rod explains...

''Having run into some "[[Drift (Cyberverse)|problems]]", Hot Rod survived his apparent death in the toxic energon pool and dug his way out. By the time he crawled his way back up to the surface, the Quintessons had already taken the entire planet. Staying out of sight, he tried figuring out where everyone had been taken, when he found Perceptor. The scientist worked out a way to use the cortical psychic patch to access the Loop, so they could free everyone, Autobots and Decepticons alike.''

Hot Rod explains that it is now Cybertron against the Quintessons, except Dead End is entirely unconcerned. No sooner does he say he plans to just stay away from them, the Quintessons start pounding at the hideout's door, and cut their way in. With the only entrance blocked, Clobber makes a new exit. The group tries escaping, but find their route blocked by another Quintesson patrol. Hot Rod spots [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], where the lights are still on. They duck into the bar, and wait for the Quintessons to enter, but nothing happens.

As Clobber asks if they are going to come in at all, [[Maccadam]] answers her question: no Quintessons allowed in his bar, but they are. Hot Rod is surprised to find the bartender still around. Maccadam just laughs and responds that he is... for now. Outside, the Quintessons swarm, apparently not noticing the old oil house at all.

'''It is a perfect day for a parade.'''

==Synopsis==
In the gloom of a darkened and empty [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] race through abandoned streets, until they come to a mesh of strange, ominously glowing wires. Rigging up an interface with a [[cortical psychic patch]], Hot Rod tells Clobber to keep an eye out while he goes in...

''It's a beautiful, sunlit day on Cybertron, and all is fun and celebrations at the Parade of Metals. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] eagerly rushes through the crowd, not wanting to miss a moment. He bumps into [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], asking if the Dinobot has seen [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. Grimlock directs him to across the street, where Windblade is talking with [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]]. Bumblebee's attempts to get to his friend are stymied by the parade, so Bumblebee tells her he will catch her in a bit. Behind him, Hot Rod appears, trying to reach out to Bumblebee, but his efforts are thwarted by an oblivious parade-goer. By the time Hot Rod has shoved him out of the way, Bumblebee is gone. When he catches up to him, Hot Rod says they need to talk, but Bumblebee tells him to wait until after the parade. As they watch, one of the floats malfunctions, and a cube of metal comes lose, crushing [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]]. Hot Rod entreaties to Bumblebee again, telling him he ''needs'' to come with him and must transform because nothing he is experiencing is real. Unfortunately, Bumblebee agrees. The parade is ''un''real. Then he catches sight of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], grand marshal of the parade. Hot Rod presses further, and Bumblebee starts to remember. Then three jets pass over head, the world turns white... and the parade starts all over again. Hot Rod sighs at almost having gotten through to Bumblebee that time, as the oblivious scout walks past him, repeating his conversation with Grimlock.''

Hot Rod signs out, and returns to the real Cybertron, dejected. Clobber asks if his plan worked, noting he was in the simulation for a long time. Hot Rod laments that he was there for fifty-seven loops, wondering why it was so much easier to break Clobber out than his friends. Even Clobber is not certain, merely recounting that Hot Rod told her to transform, so she did. The Autobot mutters about his luck, with Clobber oblivious to his sarcasm. He asks her if she remembers what happened when she woke up, but all Clobber can remember is being at the Parade of Metals, being happy, then transforming and waking up, finding herself face-to-face with something awful, scary even. Like, for example, the hovering, five-eyed tentacled head that has just snuck up on the two of them.

Clobber's initial confidence that they have the situation is shaken when it starts firing lasers out of its tentacles. Hot Rod tells her they need to go before more come. More ''always'' come, Clobber reminds him. The two transform and drive off, pursued by the tentacle-head. As he drives, Hot Rod cautions Clobber to stick close but does not even finish his warning before realizing his companion has fallen behind. Investigating, Hot Rod finds she has been caught... ''again''. Hot Rod manages to rescue her, and the two drive off, pursued now by three tentacle-heads. Though they manage to lose one by tricking it into driving into a tunnel, the other two remain in pursuit, chasing the fugitives to a broken bridge, which they are forced to jump. Clobber does not quite make it. Hot Rod mutters this now means she owes him twice. The two transform and drive off again, this time managing to evade the tentacle-heads by ducking out of sight.

As the two wander the abandoned streets, they come across the sight of a [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] commanding a squad of the heads, as they carry off two unconscious Cybertronians. An incensed Hot Rod spots a derelict building nearby, which gives him an idea. He tells Clobber to listen to him...

Drawing the Sharkticon's attention to him, Hot Rod stands waiting for them to get near... only for Clobber to misunderstand his instructions and cheerfully knock down the wrong derelict building that is nowhere near Hot Rod's intended targets. The Sharkticon pursues Hot Rod until he is cornered, but as it advances, a building falls on it and its minions. Clobber has finally having gotten the idea of the plan. Recoinoitering, the two take stock of their luck and an eyesore on the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] skyline, a giant ship which is the source of the mysterious vine-like wires spread across Cybertron.

Stopping outside their "home" to make sure they were not followed, Hot Rod and Clobber are greeted by the still-blind [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]], who deduces their trip was unsuccessful thanks to his hearing still working perfectly fine. Hot Rod reports that he hacked into the Loop but could not break any of their allies out. Perceptor notes the Autobots have no idea they are being made to watch the same parade over and over. As for the worse news, he summons up a scan of Clobber, noting that her spark reads as perfectly healthy and normal yet was greatly diminished when Hot Rod rescued her. It is as if something was feeding off it, and Perceptor believes this is the same for everyone in the Loop. If they do not free everyone soon, they will never wake up. Hot Rod vows they will get everyone out, and end the [[Quintesson]] invasion.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*It's another time-skip for ''Cyberverse'', and it's, uh, kind of a biggie. Just last episode, Cybertron had been restored, the war was over and everything was good. Now, there's Quintessons everywhere and the planet's been enslaved. How did that happen? Well, actually, it's a good question, since the show at no point actually explains that one.
*Also, Hot Rod's ''alive''?! When last seen, [[The Battle For Cybertron III|he'd been pretty badly wounded]], and fallen into a puddle of toxic energon, yet here he is, just fine and dandy, sporting a funky new black color-scheme (which the credits label "Dark Hot Rod"). No such luck for Drift, it seems. Teach him to be a stinkin' Decepticon.
*Perceptor was last seen as a prisoner of the Decepticons alongside Chromia in "[[The Battle For Cybertron III]]". His words suggest he managed to reason his way out of the Loop on his own.

===Transformers references===
*The Parade of Metals was first mentioned in the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|''Rescue Bots'']] episode "[[All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day]]" as part of [[All Spark Day (event)|the eponymous festival]].
*Aw, snap, it's the Quintessons, making their first appearance as baddies in an animated ''Transformers'' medium since the 80s (though, as with their mention back in "[[The Crossroads]]", the name is pronounced here with the stress on the second syllable, instead of the first, as was the cartoon's preference). While those seen in this episode are a significant departure from their G1 counterparts, the red-eyed, one-faced hovering heads shown here are indeed Quintessons.
*Making a (re)appearance with them is a Sharkticon, who served as the Quintessons' hench-minions / pets back then. However, the Sharkticon here is shown ordering the Prosecutors about, a change in their dynamic from the old days.

===Real-world references===
*It might not be a coincidence that the rank-n-file Quintessons seen here resemble the [https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Sentinel Sentinels], the killer-robot servants of the machines in ''[[The Matrix]]'' film series, which also featured people being unknowingly plugged into a virtual world for sinister purposes.

===Other trivia===
*While fleeing from the Sharkticon, Hot Rod, like a protagonist from a horror movie, manages to forget that he turns into a wheeled vehicle and tries outrunning it on foot.

'''As Bumblebee and Cheetor reach the Well of the Allspark, Megatron makes one final power play.'''

==Synopsis==
In the jungles beneath [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s surface, [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] searches for [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]. He finds the scout tied up by a diminutive group of mechanical lifeforms who feast on energon, led by a bot calling himself [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]]. Leaping into action, Cheetor tells Repugnus the [[AllSpark]] has returned, and can sate their hunger. The artifact does so, and in response, Cheetor asks if Repugnus can lead the two Autobots to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]]. The little bot agrees, and leads Cheetor away. This leaves Bumblebee momentarily still tied up, until he manages to transform and break loose.

Meanwhile in the Threshold on the surface, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]] continue their sword fight as [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] enters to find the damaged [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] lying on the floor. Telling the drone to take it easy, Wheeljack prepares to deal with [[Vector Sigma]]. As Windblade continues to hold off Bludgeon, Wheeljack removes a spray can and coats the supercomputer in a mysterious substance. In remembrance of [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]], Windblade overpowers Bludgeon and kicks him into the substance, which promptly vanishes in a flash of light. A confused Windblade enquires as to what exactly they just did. Wheeljack brings up their time in [[Transwarp|unspace]] and how he figured it would be a neat idea to bottle it up and weaponize it. Therefore, Vector Sigma and Bludgeon are now trapped between universes, forever out of [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s reach. Windblade cheerfully gives [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] the good news.

Down below, Repugnus and his tribe show Cheetor and Bumblebee to a doorway which will lead them to the Well of the AllSpark. Inside, the two quickly fall down a crevice, while leads to a slide that the two then fall off of. When they come to, they find they have managed to reach their destination. Bumblebee is in awe, not having set foot in the Well since his birth.

Unfortunately, the moment is interrupted by the arrival of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]], who declares it appropriate his life will ''end'' in the place it began and several of [[Shockwave's drones|his drones]] swarm into the room. As the AllSpark guardian charges at the Decepticon scientist, Cheetor is quickly subdued and at Shockwave's mercy. Bumblebee grabs Cheetor's fallen spear, and rams it down Shockwave's gun barrel just as he is about to fire. The resulting backlash hurls Shockwave across the room, knocking him out. With the problem momentarily solved, Bumblebee tells Cheetor it is time to finish things. They return the AllSpark to the Well and life begins to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

Back at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], the Autobots are mopping up the last of the giant Shockwave drones. Optimus lectures Megatron he has failed, that no Decepticon has gotten in the way of his telling. With Vector Sigma gone, Megatron will be unable to prevent the creation of a world where all can live as equals. Megatron does not see the value in such life and declares that if he cannot have the AllSpark... then ''no-one'' can. With that said, he orders Shockwave to destroy the AllSpark.

Down in the Well, Shockwave stirs and progresses over to a discarded device to complete his final mission. As Bumblebee and Cheetor watch, the cycloptic scientist approaches the AllSpark and tells Cheetor he has failed. With that, he activates the device, which extracts Shockwave's [[spark]] and shoots it into the AllSpark. Cheetor notes in horror that Shockwave's spark, which has been steeped in evil, will corrupt and destroy the artifact.

An aura of corruption spreads forth from the Well, reaching all the way to the surface of Cybertron, where a horrified Optimus asks what Megatron has done. Megatron merely responds that he has done the impossible: he has killed the AllSpark.

Cheetor declares he must stop what the Decepticons have done and grabs Shockwave's [[spark extractor]], affixing it to his chest. Telling Bumblebee that it is time to fulfil his destiny, he thanks the Autobot for being his friend. With that, Cheetor activates the spark extractor, sending his spark back to where it came from. After a short fight, Shockwave's corruption is undone and the AllSpark is restored. As Cybertron bursts back to life, Cheetor's voice assures Bumblebee that wherever he goes, Cheetor will be with him in spirit.

As the Autobots watch as their homeworld shines again, Megatron refuses to give up and continues attacking. Optimus sends him flying into the Threshold's corridor, where Megatron is ultimately devoured by the hungry [[Scraplet]]s. An aghast [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] draws her gun on Optimus, but he wordlessly convinces her to lower it. Turning to the crowd of Autobots and Decepticons, Optimus announces the war is over and Cybertron is reborn, to which both sides cheer.

As the planet restores itself, Optimus states that all things transform, and it is up to all of them to make sure it transforms for the better.

'''Team Hot Rod attempts to reach the Well of the Allspark, unaware of a traitor in their midst.'''

==Synopsis==
Outside the [[Threshold of the AllSpark]], the battle between Autobots and Decepticons rages on. [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] brawl, the Autobot leader throwing his enemy around as he vows that Megatron will not stop him from reaching the [[AllSpark]]. However, as Optimus walks inside the building, Megatron makes no effort to stop him, merely remarking that he will not. Once inside, the reason for Megatron's comment becomes clear: the Threshold is filled with [[Scraplet]]s. The sight of the creatures causes Optimus to flash back to his previous encounter with them, and he contacts [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to tell her they need an alternate route. Megatron reappears, blocking Optimus's exit.

Outside, Windblade contacts [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], who was lurking behind the building's columns. She asks the computer if it has any knowledge of alternate paths in, which it confirms there are not: the Threshold was designed to be the ''only'' access to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]]. As Windblade curses their lot, X notes that it is detecting two Autobot energy signatures down below, the imprisoned [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] and [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]. Using her [[Cityspeaker]] powers, Windblade reaches out to the imprisoned Chromia. Overjoyed to see her friend is alive, Chromia tells Windblade she can help with a way to the Well.

Back up on the surface, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] receives a signal from Windblade informing him of what Chromia has discovered, and he tells "Team Hot Rod" to move out. As the trio make their way to a secret tunnel, they are observed by [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]], who follows after them.

Elsewhere, Megatron pins Optimus to a wall, and gloats about how long he has been back on Cybertron, asking Prime if he thought he would not be prepared. At his signal, several gargantuan versions of [[Shockwave's drones]] appear. Despite Optimus's attempts to fight, the Autobots are swiftly corralled.

Down below, Team Hot Rod goes further into the depths of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Their path takes them to a long abandoned area, once filled with rivers of energon, dried up from the AllSpark's absence. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] uses his scanner to detect their way to the Well of the AllSpark, narrowly avoiding stepping in the now toxic energon puddles. As the trio continue, Drift catches up with them, noting their attempt to sneak in through the back door.

Unfortunately, Drift suddenly draws his sword and tries to attack [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] only for Hot Rod to intervene, blasting Drift with his flames. As Bumblebee and Cheetor flee under Hot Rod's orders, Drift reveals his supposed shift in allegiance was a lie all along. Once a Decepticon, ''always'' a Decepticon. The two fight, but Drift soon manages to land a serious wound on Hot Rod. Vowing to take his opponent down with him, Hot Rod grabs Drift and drags him into the toxic energon, which they soon sink into.

A short distance away, Bumblebee and Cheetor enter a new, jungle-like area. Enraptured, Bumblebee tries contacting Hot Rod, and gets no response. The two are forced to conclude that Hot Rod is gone. Cheetor tries to reassure Bumblebee about his friend's sacrifice, but Bumblebee is too despondent to acknowledge him. As Cheetor ponders about their location and ponders whether they are lost, something grabs Bumblebee. Transforming into beast mode, Cheetor sets off in search of his friend.

Back at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Teletraan-X finds [[Vector Sigma]] and informs Windblade, who contacts [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], asking if he would like to really stick things to Megatron. Windblade and X enter the Threshold, where Vector Sigma is waiting. Windblade's plan is to have Wheeljack ''destroy'' Vector Sigma.

At that moment, [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]] appears and slices at Teletraan-X, disabling it. The Cityspeaker goes for round two with the 'con who coldly murdered [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] only to find herself disarmed. Bludgeon leaps up into the air and descends toward Windblade for the killing blow!

'''The full forces of the Autobots and the Decepticons engage in a battle for control of Cybertron.'''

==Synopsis==
In the [[Threshold of the Allspark]], [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] jubilantly watches as [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s laser snare obliterates the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'', praising the scientist for succeeding at something. The Decepticon leader monologues about how things are going: the Autobots are dead, [[Vector Sigma]] is back inside the Threshold, and soon he will use the [[AllSpark]] to create an army of Decepticons, all loyal to him. He then commands [[Skywarp (Cyberverse)|Skywarp]] to take the Seekers to comb through the ship's wreckage, find the artifact, and kill any Autobot survivors they find. However, the moment is interrupted by someone cutting through the Threshold's doors. It's [[Teletraan-X]], who is incensed over the destruction of its ship, and vows revenge. Megatron effortlessly swats the little drone away, only to find it did not come alone: the Autobots are still alive. Megatron is confused, so [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] explains...

''Before the ''Ark'' got to Cybertron, Optimus ordered all hands to abandon the ship, suspecting the Decepticons of laying a trap, and has Teletraan-X pilot the ship on its own despite [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]]'s objections.''

Optimus calls Megatron on how easy his actions were to predict. Megatron snarls back that he may have a few surprises left. Regardless, the full force of the Decepticons stands between Optimus and getting the AllSpark back where it belongs. The two armies charge at one another.

Nearby, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] watch. Though both Bumblebee and Cheetor want to get involved, Hot Rod reminds them of Optimus's orders to stay out of the fight until he clears the way for them, much to Bumblebee's disappointment. The two armies fight, but despite casualties on both sides, neither has a clear advantage. As Bumblebee sees [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] incapacitate [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]], he hurries off to get involved, but Hot Rod blocks his path. Fortunately for both, [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] intervenes to save the Autobot's medic.

As the battle rages, Optimus and Megatron clash, unaware [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] is drawing her gun on Optimus. At the last moment, [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] leaps in front of her shot, saving Optimus at the cost of his own life. An enraged Optimus vows that now, he and Megatron will end their battle once and for all. Meanwhile, by the Threshold's door, Shockwave observes, and turns away from the fight. Inside the building, he signals to Megatron that they are ready, as he descends into the planet.

==Quotes==

"Shockwave, your laser snare, for once you did something right." 
"My success rate is 99.8%."
:— '''Megatron''' doles out praise to '''Shockwave'''.

"Megatron, after all these cycles of unending treachery, you are ''easy'' to predict."
:— '''Optimus Prime''' burns Megatron.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Sky-Byte was last seen drifting off into space in "[[Escape From Earth]]." While it was unclear if he was ever recovered at the time, this episode shows him to still be among the Decepticons.
*Similarly, the same episode was also unclear if Vector Sigma had been left on Earth. This episode confirms it to have been brought home by the Decepticons.

===Transformers references===
*This isn't the first time Prime got shielded from a fatal blast.
*There is an assortment of new faces in this episode. On the Autobots' side, there are new versions of the one-eyed [[Wrecker]] [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] and the elderly veteran [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]. Meanwhile, the Decepticons are now joined by a gender-bent version of [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], a new version of [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] that is colored after his live-action movie universe [[Dead End (ROTF)|namesake]], and a new character named Alphastrike, whose design is a little more from left field: ''Beast Machines'' [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]!
*Prowl dies by taking a blast through the right side of his upper torso, the same way [[Prowl (G1)|his G1 Counterpart]] died in [[The Transformers: The Movie|the original movie]].

===Real-world references===
*Kup says that he's getting too old for this scrud, referencing the famous line from ''{{w|Lethal Weapon}}''.

===Other trivia===
*The Threshold building is surrounded by multiple statues of [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] and [[Maccadam]]. Whether this is an intentional hint at their status as members of the [[Thirteen]] like past media or simple reuses of their animation models is unclear.
*While the episode's animation does not make it ''look'' like Prowl's injury is that bad and Optimus's dialogue suggests he could live, the fact that the light in his eyes fades and that he is not seen again after what goes down between "[[The Battle For Cybertron IV]]" and "[[The Loop]]" implicitly confirms that he indeed perished.

'''With the ''Ark'' fast approaching Cybertron, Chromia and Perceptor must escape their captors to warn the Autobots of Megatron's trap.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] return from their scouting mission to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s surface, reporting to [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] that they have found no sign of Decepticon activity on the planet's surface. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] sees the recording of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], completely devastated and in ruin, and despairs that the city will never be home again. [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] reassures him that with the power of the [[AllSpark]], which has already performed miracles, they will restore Cybertron. Optimus has [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] broadcast a message to the entire ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' crew: their journey is at an end, they will use the AllSpark to revive their world, and nothing will stand in their way.

A little while later, Optimus and Windblade look over [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]]'s last transmission, urging them—and Optimus in particular—to return to Cybertron. However, since then, Windblade has been unable to get in contact with her friend, which unsettles Optimus. At that very moment, Chromia is imprisoned in the bowels of Cybertron alongside [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]], who scolds her for having sent the falsified message to Optimus, simply because the Decepticons threatened to kill him. Chromia tries to escape, with no luck until Perceptor uses his eyepieces to refract their prison's bars to break Chromia's bonds, albeit at the cost of his eyes exploding.

The two Autobots sneak past their Decepticon guards. Perceptor reveals that, while blind, he has other means of seeing, using his scanners to find a network of naturally occurring tunnels right in front of them. Perceptor's scanners note the tunnels manage to reach all the way down to the Well of the AllSpark. With that, Chromia figures out where they are. The two make their way to the surface of Iacon City, where Chromia finds [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] has taken over the [[Threshold of the AllSpark]], turning it into his own private fortress. A pair of [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s fly overhead, and the two Autobots duck down an alleyway. Chromia notes they need to contact Optimus, and asks if Perceptor can get them to a communications array. However, their path leads them right into a Decepticon patrol. Perceptor urges Chromia to leave him to face the Decepticons alone, but is subdued by the last Decepticon standing, who calls in the Seekers after Chromia. A chase through the streets of Iacon ensues, ending when Chromia tricks her pursuers into colliding with a building. Unbeknown to Chromia, she's being followed by [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]. On reaching her destination, Chromia is attacked by the bird-bot, who she lays out with one punch. Unfortunately, [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] is also there, and he effortlessly subdues her.

Back on the ''Ark'', Cheetor vows to the Allspark that whatever it takes, he will be ready. Bumblebee enters, and is unnerved by the sight, though Cheetor assures him everything's fine. On the bridge, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] is overjoyed at the though of finally getting home and returning to the Lithium Flats for some racing. He asks his fellow crewmembers what they plan to do. [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] plans on throwing a soiree, to which everyone is invited. [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] plans to just kick back and relax, and [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] ominously tells Hot Rod that he has something ''special'' in mind, something a long time coming, and he will ''make sure'' Hot Rod is there. Hot Rod nervously chuckles off his shipmate's intense statement.

Back on Cybertron, as Soundwave drags Chromia through the streets, he receives a call from [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]: the ''Ark'' has entered Cybertron airspace. As Chromia watches, the Decepticons fire a strange energy web at the Autobot ship, which envelops it, then crushes it, causing the ship to explode in a massive fireball, right in front of Chromia's eyes!

==Quotes==

"Why didn't you do that before?" 
"I didn't know if it would work. Also, I burnt out my optics. I can no longer see."
:— '''Chromia''' and '''Perceptor''' discussing the later's unorthodox escape strategy.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*When reminding Bumblebee of the AllSpark's power, Cheetor lists off the artefact's supernatural feats in Season 2. Repairing the ''Ark'' ("[[Escape From Earth]]"), restoring the [[Sharkticon homeworld]] ("[[Wiped Out]]"), and healing [[Croaton]] ("[[Ghost Town]]"). Each feat is accompanied by a flashback to the episode in question.
*Optimus received Chromia's transmission in "[[The Crossroads]]", unaware it was a Decepticon trap.
*Perceptor stayed behind on Cybertron ''waaaaay'' back in "[[Fractured]]". Mentioned to have contacted the Autobots in an alternate timeline in "The Crossroads", it's now revealed that he was taken prisoner alongside Chromia.

===Other trivia===
*Drift's eyes are red in his scene with Hot Rod, instead of the standard Autobot blue, which we ''would'' list as an error... except Hot Rod explicitly calls him "red eyes". And the next time he shows up, [[The Battle For Cybertron III|two episodes from now]], his eyes are blue again.
*Starting from this episode, [[Jaime Lamchick]] voices Chromia, with a distinctively higher-pitched voice.

===Animation and technical errors===
*The audio waves on Soundwave's shoulders don't vibrate to his voice like they usually do when he says his line to Chromia.

'''The newly formed team of Autobots must stop Shockwave from destroying all life on the planet.'''

==Synopsis==
In [[Earth]]'s orbit, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] orders her [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s to stand at attention in front of the planet's repaired [[Space Bridge]], which even now flares to life to allow [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s flagship to arrive...

Meanwhile, in [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]'s impromptu headquarters, the Autobot shows [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], [[Teletraan-X]] and [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] around, explaining his time on Earth and how his attempts to locate the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' ended in failure, resulting in him recruiting the local [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaur]]s to help build a home for himself. The happy reunion is cut short, however, when Teletraan-X picks up something on the base's orbital scanner: a massive Decepticon ship in Earth's orbit!

Above, Shockwave dresses down Slipstream for her repeated failures: her inability to find the [[AllSpark]], the ''Ark'', and her repeated failures at capturing Bumblebee and Windblade. Eager to simplify the hunt for the AllSpark, Shockwave announces his plan: he and the Decepticons will simply eradicate ''all'' organic life on Earth. At his command, his ship splits into two; Shockwave instructs the Seekers that two of them will join him, and the others will serve with his second-in-command [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. The ships fly off to enact Shockwave's grand plan, as down below the Autobots watch helplessly as Teletraan-X explains the Decepticon plan: by shutting down the planet's geomagnetic field at each poles, the resulting radiation will result in complete extinction for all organic life on Earth.

The Autobots attempt to strategize, and though Grimlock initially suggests splitting up—even using his dinosaur mode to intimidate the other two Autobots—he eventualy agrees with Windblade and Teletraan-X's summation of their predicament: by concentrating all of their firepower to eliminate one ship at the [[North Pole]], they'll be able to halt the process entirely. To get there, Teletraan-X commandeers a [[human]] cargo plane, though Grimlock is less than enthused at the tight squeeze the ship provides.

At the North Pole, Shadow Striker prepares to activate the ship's [[magnetic disruptor]], blasting a beam of radiation into the ground. As Shadow Striker prepares to finish the job, however, [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] picks up an incoming hostile: none other than Windblade! Eager for vengeance, Slipstream and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] rush out and takes to the air, leaving Thundercracker alone... and, seconds later, Thundercracker picks up Bumblebee dancing on the ice to draw their attention, goading a vengeful Shadow Striker into abandoning her post and driving off to deal with her nemesis. With only [[Shockwave's drones]] for company, and his fellow Seekers felled by Windblade in a battle above the icecap, Thundercracker has to deal with an irate Shockwave when the Decepticon scientist calls to check up on their progress... only for Grimlock to sneak aboard the ship and incapacitate the young Seeker.

Despite their multi-pronged attack, Teletraan-X reports that their plan has ''failed''—the disruptor has already gone off, and Earth's geomagnetic field will fail... unwilling to give up, however, Grimlock resorts to brute force, unleashing his dino mode to smash the ship apart, tearing his way free to help Windblade against Shadow Striker and Slipstream before the ship explodes. Their objective complete, the Autobots beat a hasty retreat aboard the cargo plane; though Shadow Striker tries to board the ship, her glitchy limbs prove her undoing, leaving her facedown in the snow as the triumphant Autobots fly away.

Shadow Striker reports back to Shockwave, who informs her that although his plan has failed, he has a backup in place: a backup plan evidenced by one of his drones, who has managed to smuggle itself aboard the plane...

"Together we rebuilt the entire bridge of the ''Ark''. It was not easy. You remember the communications console, and the weapons command module? Here's a tip. Never let a ''Velociraptor'' have access to your weapons command module. And a little addition of mine we all enjoyed: the hot tub."
:—'''Grimlock'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Shockwave announced his intentions to come to Earth in "[[Siloed]]."
* Windblade mentions [[Maccadam]] having led them to Grimlock, as seen in "[[Maccadam's]]."
* Grimlock notes that the only thing the base ever detected was the asteroid responsible for ending the age of the dinosaurs, as seen in [[King of the Dinosaurs|the previous episode]].
* Where exactly Windblade got the plane from is unmentioned in the episode itself; perhaps she stole it from the abandoned airfield the Autobots visited in "[[Sabotage]]"?

===Transformers references===
* Thundercracker swears by [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].
* Grimlock's robot-to-dinosaur transformation animation is a homage to the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' video game; in particular, his fists slamming the ground as he transforms references that continuity's [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and his [[Hulk]]-like transformation from one mode to the other.

*'''Acid Storm''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Warrior Class Acid Storm is a redeco of Warrior Class [[Starscream (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Starscream]] and converts from robot to jet and back. Her [[Action Attack]] gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in her waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging her landing gear onto a peg on her backside. Additionally, she has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into her forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.

:While her arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Acid Storm has the unusual distinction of having her hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. She also lacks knees, likely due to her whole legs being cast from the same green plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, she can splay her legs out to the sides due to hinges on her hips, allowing splits and high kicks.

:This mold was also redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Thundercracker]].

*Acid Storm's bio on the English Hasbro website uses male pronouns, plus the character illustration (right) uses a considerably different color scheme than the cartoon model attributed to Acid Storm. In this show, she speaks with a female voice and voice actress, but is animated with the male Seeker face until her appearance in "[[Siloed]]." Meanwhile, the Brazilian Portuguese Hasbro site refers to Acid Storm's toy in the feminine,[https://shop.hasbro.com/pt-br/product/transformers-cyberverse-warrior-class-acid-storm:802871B8-5DE6-43CE-A266-111D4C63142F] but the French Canadian site uses the masculine.[https://shop.hasbro.com/fr-ca/product/transformers-cyberverse-warrior-class-acid-storm:802871B8-5DE6-43CE-A266-111D4C63142F]

'''A mysterious clue from Bumblebee's memory leads Windblade on a treacherous journey.'''

==Synopsis==
''At some point in the past, a disoriented Bumblebee comes to on an icy mountainside, and is briefly confused by a mountain goat.''
[[File:Slipstream - Cyberverse - Whiteout.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
In the present day, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], still inside Bumblebee's mind, finishes watching yet another memory. Although Bumblebee still can't remember anything meaningful about the location of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'', Windblade finds the image of the mountain familiar and consults the ship's logs to determine that it matches a peak in the [[Himalayas]]. Leaving a disappointed Bumblebee to guard the ship, she sets off. In the meantime, Bumblebee distracts himself by watching some human [[television]] on the [[Decepticon scout ship|scout ship]]'s monitors.

Having arrived in the Himalayas, Windblade is unaware that her communications with Bumblebee have been picked up by the [[Decepticon]]s [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. Their commander [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] instructs them to follow the signal while she catches up with them.

Somewhere in the upper slopes of the mountain range, Windblade arrives at the spot she saw in Bumblebee's memory and uses her fans to reveal a [[stasis pod]] of [[Autobot]] manufacture and a blaster, both left abandoned in the snow. Unfortunately, that's all she finds: her scans are unable to pick up the ''Ark'' itself, and she's unaware that the Decepticons have tailed her to her present location until the three [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s reveal themselves!

Captured by the Decepticons, Windblade is interrogated by Slipstream for information on the location of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots, her glib answers only infuriating Slipstream and providing her with the window to break free and escape. A battle ensues as Windblade makes her escape, and though Windblade is able to send Thundercracker tumbling off a cliff into the fog, Nova Storm proves a tougher foe, and Windblade herself is nearly thrown off the same cliff before taking Nova Storm down, then uses her fans to drop Slipstream into the snow before finally making her escape.

Back at the ship, Windblade catches up with Bumblebee about her adventure, and happily presents him with his old blaster. Now, Windblade is certain that they're on the right track: the ''Ark'' is somewhere on Earth, and they'll have to find it before the Decepticons do!

'''Bumblebee remembers the voyage of the''' '''''Ark''''', '''and the adventure that led Optimus Prime into making a drastic decision.'''

==Synopsis==
''As the'' [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]] ''continues its voyage through deep space in search of the [[AllSpark]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] remains concerned about their dwindling levels of [[Energon]] — concerns that only worsen when [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]]'s latest experiment to try and boost the ship's scanners leads to another blackout. Optimus warns Wheeljack that, until they can refuel their ship, they can't afford any more dangerous experiments...''

... and, as the latest gap in [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]'s memory is filled, [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] begins to piece together what might have happened to the AllSpark. As another memory comes back online, she asks Bumblebee to access it.

''Some time later, the ''Ark'''s energon situation has become critical. The ship chances across a barren and seemingly uninhabited world, and when [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] detects concentrations of Energon on the surface, Optimus assembles a survey team — consisting of himself, [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], and Bumblebee — to scout out the situation. As their [[Autobot shuttle|shuttlecraft]] touches down on the planet, Prime sends Grimlock and Bumblebee to investigate a nearby ridge. The pair find a massive canyon, but still no Energon, and turn away to regroup with Prime... but Bumblebee is none the wiser when a mass of tentacles slither out from the canyon and drag Grimlock into its depths!''
[[File:Cave Monsters - Cyberverse - The Journey.jpg|thumb|300px|left]]
''When he realises Grimlock is missing, Bumblebee races back to the shuttleto warn Optimus of the situation, and when Prime is unable to raise Grimlock on his communicator, the two Autobots track his signal back to the canyon. A series of tremors knock them off balance and send them tumbling into the cave below, where they discover the source of the tremors — Grimlock, using his strength to slam the ground so as to ward off the "beasts" responsible for dragging him into the canyon. A more important discovery draws Prime's attention, however, and the three find a nearby cave, containing a reservoir of the Energon that Teletraan-1 had detected in the first place. As they approach the Energon lake, however, their presence attracts a swarm of the [[cave monster]]s, and a battle ensues as the three Autobots try to keep the [[alien]]s at bay. Their weapons have no effect on the creatures, however, and Optimus makes a crucial discovery: the creatures feed on Energon, and were merely trying to protect their food supply. Realizing that they can't jeopardize an innocent alien species, Prime orders the group to retreat to the surface.''

''Back aboard the ''Ark'', Prime shares what he has learned with the other Autobots, but makes a crucial decision: in order to conserve what little Energon they have left, the Autobots will enter [[stasis lock|stasis]], with Teletraan-1 taking control of the vessel. As the Transformers prepare to enter the ship's hibernation pods, Wheeljack races in to give Prime the news that he's successfully boosted the ship's scanning capabilities. With the Autobots sealed in their stasis pods, Bumblebee is the only Autobot conscious enough to see the ship's scanners successfully detect the AllSpark... a second too late to do anything about it.''

Inside Bumblebee's mind, Windblade and Bumblebee speculate what happened to the other Autobots aboard the ''Ark'', and Bumblebee vows that, no matter what, he'll find the ship.

"What do we have here?" 
"I dunno, but this place is the ''pits''. Get it? C'mon, that was ''funny!''"
:— '''Grimlock''' and '''Bumblebee''' inspect a canyon

"You think you're tough? Well you're not as tough as ''me...GRIMLOCK!''"
:— '''Grimlock''' reminds the cave monsters who is king.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The ''Ark'' was established to have left Cybertron in "[[Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory]]" in search of the Allspark, which was launched off Cybertron as seen in the flashback in "[[Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark]]."
* The flashback of Bumblebee boarding the ''Ark'' at the end of "Memory" established he had already lost his voice while on Cybertron, as he bid farewell to Windblade only through a series of mechanical warbles, but in this episode, he is shown to be capable of speech during the ship's mission. This isn't an error, though; back in "[[Fractured]]," Windblade established that [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] had repaired Bee's voicebox since his departure. How it became damaged again is a lost memory waiting to be uncovered...
* Though we don't get a glimpse of modern-day Earth, Bumblebee and Windblade are still presumably holed up at the radio station where they landed in the previous episode.

===Transformers references===
* Raw [[Energon]] appears here in a bright blue, [[Energon crystal|crystalline]] form, as seen in both the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' cartoons.
* Stasis pods first appeared in ''Beast Wars,'' though their use here as a sort of "hibernation chamber" hearkens back to their use in the ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' [[Transform and Roll Out|pilot movie]].
* Grimlock's boast about his toughness Easter-eggs the third-person speech pattern that [[Grimlock (G1)|most]] [[Grimlock (Animated)|other]] [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlocks]] tend to use.

===Real-world references===
* The episode begins with a dramatic pan of the ''Ark'' as it travels through deep space as Optimus Prime narrates another addition to his log, referencing the iconic opening scene of many a ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode, complete with a very ''Trek''-ish musical score.
* The ''Ark's'' massive stasis bay, and the radial design of the stasis chambers within, resembles the hibernation chambers aboard the ''{{w|Sulaco (fictional spacecraft|Sulaco}}'' from ''{{w|Aliens (film)|Aliens}}'', or possibly the ''Avalon'''s hibernation deck from ''{{w|Passengers (2016 film)|Passengers}}''.

* Optimus Prime consistently mispronounces "Teletraan," drawing out the double-a sound and making the word sound like "Teletron," not unlike how characters used to mispronounce it in ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]''. Bumblebee, however, pronounces it right. 
*It is a bit funny how Ratchet, Grimlock and Chroma move. At the beginning of the Ratchet is the furthest on the left side of the ship. And the next shot suddenly appeared near the right side where the bumblebee had previously stood and point out that you can not hear his steps. At first, Grimlock and Chroma are not visible and then suddenly appear. Are they hiding or what?
*Wheeljack is shown that it has glass wings and as the camera has moved away and showed all crew members he suddenly lost them.

'''Windblade resorts to extreme measures to try and fix Bumblebee's damaged memories.'''

==Synopsis==
The energy pulse released by [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s [[cortical psychic patch]] blasts across the desert, and, in the progress, knocks the [[Decepticon]]s [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] off their feet. Alerted to the presence of Autobots on Earth, Nova Storm quickly takes command and informs her captain that they're setting off to investigate.

Not far away, both Windblade and a skeptical [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] come to. Given his recent experiences, Bumblebee is skeptical of Windblade, but before she can convince her old friend of her good intentions, the two Decepticon scouts zoom overhead! Windblade takes to the skies in a dogfight with Nova Storm while Bumblebee holds off Thundercracker, but the yellow Autobot discovers that his [[stinger (weapon)|stinger]] isn't working. Windblade orders him to fall back to the nearby mineshaft, where she uses her detachable turbines to bury the two Decepticons beneath a pile of rubble. The encounter has given Windblade an idea, however, and the two set off to find [[Decepticon scout ship|the starship]] that the two Decepticons arrived in.

Arriving at the ship, Windblade explains her plan: by using the ship's systems for additional computing power, she'll be able to retry the cortical patch procedure, but when she begins to explain ''how'' they'll break in, she discovers that Bumblebee has already charged into the ship. Windblade follows, and finds Bumblebee playing with the ship's controls; hacking into the ship's mainframe, Windblade sets up another attempt to unscramble Bumblebee's memories, and uses her [[Cityspeaker]] skills to guide an apprehensive Bumblebee through the procedure. Inside his mind, a lucid Bumblebee learns how to tap into his undamaged memories, but despite Windblade's hopes that he'll be able to recover information relating to the location of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'', Bumblebee can only unscramble a fragmentary memory of the ship's launch.

''On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bumblebee speeds toward the'' Ark ''as it prepares to launch. Though his voice box is damaged, Bumblebee is able to say goodbye to his best friend Windblade, even as a [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|figure]] bids him to come aboard...''

Having recovered a scrap of his old memories, Bumblebee finally remembers Windblade, recognizing her as his old friend, but this happy moment is cut short when the ship's communicator goes off. Decepticon commander [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] demands to know the progress of his two scouts... only for Bumblebee, unaware of the danger, to seize the ship's communicator and blow their cover!

==Notes==
===Transformers references===
* Windblade describes herself as a "[[Cityspeaker]]," a term from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] that first introduced Windblade. Here, Windblade notes that the term refers to her ability to communicate with "entities far greater than can be comprehended," which ''might'' be a reference to the mysterious [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]]s of the IDW comics.
* After losing his voice but prior to arriving on [[Earth]], Bumblebee "speaks" in a series of mechanical warbles, akin to his portrayal in the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon.
* It's still not ''entirely'' clear if ''Cyberverse'' is meant to be a reboot of the traditional [[Generation 1]] lore or set in an entirely new continuity, but the backstory alluded to here — in which the Autobots left Cybertron aboard the ''Ark'' in search of the AllSpark — seems as though it was based in part on the "[[Binder of Revelation]]," initially produced for the development of the "[[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]]" continuity in early 2010. This particular bit of lore, in turn, owed something to the original tie-in lore of the [[Transformers (film)|2007 live-action film]].

===Trivia===
*TBD

===Animation and technical errors===
*After the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] try to shoot down Windblade and Bumblebee, Windblade's wings are extended out. In the next shot, where she rolls, her wings are back down, but then they are animated extending out straight after. 
* When the windblade is looking for a memory that could bumblebee try to see his memory,there is no windshield under the sign of abutoba for more than nine seconds.
