The '''Emberstone''' is the artifact of [[Quintus Prime]]. It has the ability to seed the explosion of living processes in base elements, akin to [[Primus]]'s own spark.

==Fiction==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===
The life-giving powers of the Emberstone worked into the [[Thirteen]]'s plan to attack [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s spark was uniquely akin to that of [[Primus]], and therefore an anathema to Unicron. During the mission, [[Vector Prime]] teleported Optimus into Unicron's spark chamber, causing both beings to shut down as they rejected each other. The [[Liege Maximo]] and Vector arranged a time-loop that would preserve Unicron in this state of hibernation perpetually, and Quintus Prime's Emberstone was used to restore Optimus.

After the war, Quintus made an alliance with Maximo and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], using the Emberstone to create new, smaller Cybertronian lifeforms. These beasts ultimately proved to be a major catalyst in the downfall of the Thirteen.

When the Era of Primes came to a close, Quintus Prime left Cybertron, intending to use the Emberstone to seed new worlds with life, creating cousins for the new Cybertronians that would emerge from the [[Well of All Sparks]]. It would later be used to create the [[Quintesson]]s. {{Storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

===''EarthSpark'' cartoon===
The "gift" of Quintus Prime, after helping establish Cybertron's culture, Quintus left his homeworld, using the Emberstone to seed life on planets across the universe. The Emberstone eventually wound up on [[Earth]] beneath the land that would one day become [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]], [[Pennsylvania]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

In the modern era, after the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s had come to Earth, the [[human]] siblings [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]] fell into the Emberstone's cave. After knocking it off its pedestal, the siblings replaced the Emberstone, causing it to activate, creating [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] from a pool of water and bestowing [[cyber-sleeve]]s upon the humans to guide the newborn [[Terran]]s. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

When [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] was informed how the Terrans had come into being, he recognized the Emberstone's powers from legend, having the Terrans and Maltos retrieve it for him. After he explained its capabilities, the relic was teleported out his hand by [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]]. Twitch recovered it, and Optimus ordered the Maltos to retreat and protect it. Falling back to the cave, the family, outnumbered by [[Arachnamech]]s, appealed to Quintus for aid. Heeding their call, the Emberstone created [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] before [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]]'s [[missile]] barrage caused a cave-in. In the subsequent chaos, Mo lost her hold on the Emberstone, sending it flying into the pool. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

Sometime after this, G.H.O.S.T. was able to retrieve the Emberstone, with [[Karen Croft|Croft]] personally delivering the artifact to [[Mandroid]]. Shortly after she left, Mandroid installed the Emberstone into his harness, the stone teleporting him to Quintus Prime's orbiting starship where he found the Maltos, brought there by Quintus to stop Mandroid. Using the Emberstone, Mandroid was able to control the ship, setting it on a crash landing for Earth. While [[Alex Malto|Alex]] and [[Dot Malto]] tried to course-correct, Mo fought off Mandroid, the Emberstone reacting to her cyber-sleeve and allowing her to manifest weapons his armor. When Mandroid nearly executed Robby, Mo channelled the Emberstone's power to briefly stop time, prying the artifact from Mandroid's chest. In an ethereal landspace where she spoke to Quintus, the Emberstone was digitized and stored in Mo's cyber-sleeve. {{storylink|Prime Time (episode)|Prime Time}}

Robby and Mo use their cybersleeves to summon the emberstone and together with Mandroid's tower to send their healing powers all over the world and undo the lives loss due to Mandroid ambition. {{storylink|The Last Hope, Part 2}}

[[File:AgentCroft HashtagOops.jpg|thumb|300px|Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss]]
As the director of [[G.H.O.S.T.]], Executive Agent '''Karen Croft''' projects a more level-headed image in comparison to her brother, [[Jon Schloder]], but all the while going much farther than he would to when it comes to defending Earth from [[alien]] threats. In fact. Croft despises Cybertronians just as much as [[Mandroid]], perhaps even more so considering Mandroid is content with just taking down the Cybertronians on Earth. Croft, on the other hand, has far bigger plans...
==Fiction==
===''EarthSpark'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Kari Wahlgren]] (English)|[[Márcia Alves]] (Brazilian Portuguese)}}
Croft was present at the G.H.O.S.T.-[[Autobot]] alliance ceremony where she greeted the arriving [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]] and informed them of the day's itinerary. When the Seeker pair of [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]] and [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]] attacked the ceremony, Croft aided in getting the civilians to safety. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

At the mountainside base where G.H.O.S.T. kept their [[Decepticon]] prisoners, Croft performed some sort of experiment on the captured [[Skullcruncher (ES)|Skullcruncher]] that left the brutish Decepticon in a weakened state. Finding her brother to be falling short of apprehending Decepticons, Croft ordered Agent Schloder to begin a sweep of the local area to capture any rogue Decepticon, regardless of their current threat level. Following a short-lived Decepticon prisoner uprising, unknowingly caused by the young Terran [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], Croft arrived on scene to survey the damage. {{storylink|Hashtag: Oops}}

When Schloder began to believe he was on the trail of the refugee [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]], he managed to convince the begrudging Croft to have every available G.H.O.S.T. agent on scene at a race he believed Bumblebee was participating in. When it looked like it was initially just another false alarm, Croft insisted on doing a more thorough Energon scan of the cars present, inadvertently revealing both Bumblebee and the refugee Decepticon [[Breakdown (ES)|Breakdown]]. A battle soon erupted between Breakdown and Bumblebee against G.H.O.S.T.'s forces. Croft managed to score a hit on Breakdown that incapacitated the Decepticon, but was not enough to prevent him from aiding in Bumblebee's escape. With Breakdown apprehended, Croft tried to detain [[Dot Malto|Dot]] and [[Alex Malto]] so they could be questioned on what she believed was them harboring Bumblebee but was counter-ordered by her brother. {{storylink|Security Protocols}} She later authorized the clandestine disposal of several crates of toxic waste in the forest outside [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]]. {{storylink|Bear Necessities}}

Later, Croft formally met and formed a partnership with the anti-Cybertronian scientist, Mandroid. Having already solved her "[[Grimlock (ES)|dino problem]]" from interfering with her underground "Bot Brawl" ring, Croft recruited Mandroid to construct more cognitive inhibitor chips for her to use, keeping the scientific recluse at bay by offering him small doses of Energon he needed as a result of his grafting Cybertronian body parts to himself. When he said he needed test subjects, Croft gladly offered up the Decepticon prisoners of G.H.O.S.T. under her ward for his picking. {{storylink|Home, Part 2}}

When Mandroid condition was beginning to deteriorate and demanded that he take care of his condition before he makes anything in ghost, which made Karen give him access to G.H.O.S.T.'s systems. This would be a decision Croft would later regret since she believed he had a hand in the energy surge that damaged G.H.O.S.T.'s systems, Mandroid placated her however, reveals he's learned the key to accomplishing their plans and asks her to bring him the Emberstone. {{storylink|Disarmed}}

Croft would later inform Optimus Prime and Megatron that [[Starscream (ES)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]], and [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]] escape. Megatron is unhappy that Croft refuses to send anyone into the unmapped tunnel system after Starscream and the other seekers.{{storylink|What Dwells Within}}

'''With time of the essence, the Terrans unite to bring down Mandroid's superweapon and save their family.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Twitch]], [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] and [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] stare up at the huge structure topped with the [[space bridge]] which [[Mandroid]] intends to use to wipe out [[Autobot]], [[Decepticon]] and [[Terran]] alike. They resolve to do all they can to stop the maniac's plan and joined by [[Jon Schloder|Schloder]], they head off towards the tower.

Observing that the charging of his weapon from [[Mo Malto|Mo]] and [[Robby Malto|Robby]]'s [[cyber-sleeve]]s is not yet complete, Mandroid orders [[Blitzwave]] and [[Razor-Fin]] to guard the spire. He has his own plan to deal with the missing Terrans, using his badge controller to remotely reactivate [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]]. As Bumblebee drives along, Schloder starts playing loud music shortly before the Autobot leader rams Bee from the side, sending him tumbling. Fortunately both he and Schloder survive the experience, but as Nightshade and Twitch help them up, [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]] drives into view, her eyes glowing white. The group flees to the dockyard to hide, pursued by the two Mandroid-controlled Autobots. During the resulting fight, Mandroid's spear is knocked from Nightshade's hands and under a train, leading Bumblebee to attempt to take on Optimus while the others retrieve it. Schloder grabs the spear, but the trio then have to contend with Elita-1 chasing after them. Schloder is knocked unconscious during the chase and Twitch pinned under fallen containers, and with Elita-1 closing in, all seems lost until Nightshade drops a crane on her and uses the spear to drain her energon. They're then able to help Bumblebee against Optimus, though even with all of them, Optimus is more then a match until [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] suddenly join in. Together they keep him busy long enough for Twitch to use the spear on him. After the newcomers are filled in on current events, the group once again heads for Mandroid's fortress.

At the end of a bridge, they're again abruptly stopped by [[Arcee (ES)|Arcee]] and [[Wheeljack (ES)|Wheeljack]] and their retreat is cut off by a wall of flame produced by [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]]. Bumblebee and Schloder stay to keep the Autobots busy while the Terrans fly off to face Mandroid himself. As they near the spire, they again come under fire, this time from the Sharkticons. Twitch has Jawbreaker, Nightshade and Hashtag keep them busy while she and Thrash fly up the tower. Twitch confronts Mandroid directly as a distraction while Thrash sneaks up to the space bridge, however faced with the Terran, Mandroid holds up his badge controller and [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]] flies into view. Transforming, Megatron knocks Twitch down and aims his [[fusion cannon]] at her. Twitch frantically tells Twitch to fly, giving away his position but giving Twitch the opportunity she needs to escape. Locked in combat with Mandroid, Thrash tries to point out that the scientist has turned himself into exactly what he hates, but his arguments get him as far as Twitch's pleas do with Megatron. As a swarm of Megatron's missiles close in on Twitch, they're countered by a barrage from the other direction — [[Starscream (ES)|Starscream]] has arrived with the rest of the Decepticons and some [[G.H.O.S.T.]] agents, having heard about what's at stake.

Twitch heads back to confront Mandroid with Thrash, and the pair are able to overcome their foe, but he responds by announcing the end of the age of Transformers, bringing the space bridge weapon online. A blast of energy is unleashed, and every Autobot, Decepticon, Terran and Sharkticon drops to the ground. The energy sweeps around [[Earth]], and Mandroid triumphantly laughs that the world is finally free of "those monsters". Twitch, partially protected from the effects of the energy by Thrash's body, is the only one left. The human members of the Malto family regain consciousness and free themselves from Mandroid's device only to see what Mandroid has done. When [[Robby Malto|Robby]]'s cyber-sleeve glows at his tears, he realizes he and Mo can use the power of [[Quintus Prime]] to heal everyone. Sitting on Mandroid's throne, the kids touch their sleeves together and the [[Emberstone]] appears between them. Quintus's power runs through Mandroid's device and then across the planet, restoring the Transformers to life. The Malto family, back together again, embrace and a huge insignia appears above the spire.

==Quotes==
"How do we stop Mandroid now?" 
"We fight. Every Cybertronian on Earth is counting on us, and so is our family."
:—'''Twitch''' and '''Nightshade'''

"I'll be honest. We don't stand much chance against Mandroid, but we're their last hope. What do you say?"
:—'''Twitch''' gives a stirring if not completely optimistic speech.

"Starscream?!" 
"The news spread quickly of your-" 
"Awthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" 
"Yes! OK! That's enough... affection."
:—'''Twitch''' welcomes '''Starscream''' to the battle.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*This and the previous episode were originally released as one double-length episode.
*The first season ends the way it began: With one Malto sibling telling the other that they've fallen in love with their new home while the family watches the sky, hopeful for the future.

===Transformers references===
*Schloder yells "Rescue Bots to the rescue!", a paraphrasing of [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]]'s catchphrase from the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' cartoon.

===Real-world references===

===Errors===

===Trivia===
* Like previous two-parters, most online distribution platforms, such as [[Paramount+]], do not list this episode separately from Part 2, instead choosing to combine both parts into a single 44-minute video.
* According to storyboard artist [[India Swift]], the final sequence of the episode (from when the Emberstone appears before Robby and Mo onward) was actually animated to sync up with "[[The Touch]]", as they had hoped to license the song for the show.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The last bit with all of the Transformers being resurrected was actually timed to ‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush, in case we could get it for the finale!|link=https://www.tumblr.com/oldswifty/725026399658885120/here-is-pt3-of-the-earthspark-finale-big-spoilers|name=India Swift|site=Tumblr|year=2023|month=08|day=07}}</ref>

Croft despises Cybertronians just as much as Mandroid, perhaps even more so considering Mandroid is content with just taking down the cybertronians on earth, Croft on the other hand is willing to restart a new war just to make all Cybertronian pay.

Croft was present at the G.H.O.S.T.-[[Autobot]] alliance ceremony where she greeted the arriving [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]] and informed them of the day's itinerary. When the Seeker pair of [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]] and [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]] attacked the ceremony, Croft aided in getting the civilians to safety. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

At the mountainside base where G.H.O.S.T. kept their [[Decepticon]] prisoners, Croft performed some sort of experiment on the captured [[Skullcruncher (ES)|Skullcruncher]] that left the brutish Decepticon in a weakened state. Finding her brother to be falling short of apprehending Decepticons, Croft ordered Agent Schloder to begin a sweep of the local area to capture any rogue Decepticon, regardless of their current threat level. Following a short-lived Decepticon prisoner uprising, unknowingly caused by the young Terran [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], Croft arrived on scene to survey the damage. {{storylink|Hashtag: Oops}}

When Schloder began to believe he was on the trail of the refugee [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]], he managed to convince the begrudging Croft to have every available G.H.O.S.T. agent on scene at a race he believed Bumblebee was participating in. When it looked like it was initially just another false alarm, Croft insisted on doing a more thorough Energon scan of the cars present, inadvertently revealing both Bumblebee and the refugee Decepticon [[Breakdown (ES)|Breakdown]]. A battle soon erupted between Breakdown and Bumblebee against G.H.O.S.T.'s forces. Croft managed to score a hit on Breakdown that incapacitated the Decepticon, but was not enough to prevent him from aiding in Bumblebee's escape. With Breakdown apprehended, Croft tried to detain [[Dot Malto|Dot]] and [[Alex Malto]] so they could be questioned on what she believed was them harboring Bumblebee but was counter-ordered by her brother. {{storylink|Security Protocols}} She later authorized the clandestine disposal of several crates of toxic waste in the forest outside [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]]. {{storylink|Bear Necessities}}

Later, Croft formally met and formed a partnership with the anti-Cybertronian scientist, [[Mandroid]]. Having already solved her "[[Grimlock (ES)|dino problem]]" from interfering with her underground "Bot Brawl" ring, Croft recruited Mandroid to construct more cognitive inhibitor chips for her to use, keeping the scientific recluse at bay by offering him small doses of Energon he needed as a result of his grafting Cybertronian body parts to himself. When he said he needed test subjects, Croft gladly offered up the Decepticon prisoners of G.H.O.S.T. under her ward for his picking. {{storylink|Home, Part 2}}

'''Mandroid has returned with a new sinister plan to eliminate all Cybertronian life.'''

==Synopsis==
At the Malto farm, a portal crackles in the sky as the newly-returned and augmented [[Mandroid]] opens a panel in his new cybernetic body to reveal his face. When [[Karen Croft|Croft]] expresses surprise at his appearance, he reveals that by his clock he's gone for about a year. His henchmen, [[Blitzwave]] and [[Razor-Fin]], also swoop down from the portal and Mandroid explains that he liberated the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]'s planet from their oppressors. When [[Twitch]] defiantly asserts they'll defeat Mandroid, he responds by draining [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]]'s energon, putting the [[Decepticon]] in shutdown. Mandroid demands they turn over [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto|Mo]]'s [[cyber-sleeve]]s, at which point the Maltobots attack him, leaving him on the back foot long enough for the entire family to make a run for it. He sends the two Sharkticons after them and when Croft asks pointedly about the changes Mandroid's control device seems to be making to her, he invites her to meet him at the [[space bridge]].

As the Maltos flee through the woods, the pursuing Sharkticons bring trees down ahead of them. The Maltobots attempt to avoid the fallen trees, but in the process [[Alex Malto|Alex]] and [[Dot Malto|Dot]] end up thrown into the air and Razor-Fin swallows them whole. The shocked kids have no choice but to continue their flight lest Robby and Mo be captured, but the Sharkicons manage to catch up while they're still trying to formulate a plan and a rocket from the pair sends [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]], [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] plummiting down a waterfall. [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] and [[Twitch]] attempt to get away by air with Robby and Mo until Mandroid shoots them down. A fight ensues, with the four Maltos managing to overcome the two Sharkticons, howver Mandroid knocks Nightshade and Twitch aside, seizing the two humans and draining the energy from their cyber-sleeves before tossing them into Razor-Fin's mouth. Blitzwave blasts the pair with missiles as the evil trio depart. The pair dig themselves out of the rubble and Nightshade attempts to raise the spirits of a now-despondant Twitch.

[[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] and [[Jon Schloder|Schloder]] are playing a card game in a G.H.O.S.T. cell. [[Breakdown (ES)|Breakdown]] accuses Bee of cheating just before the power cuts out. Twitch and Nightshade make quick work of the [[Ghoid]] guards and cut the power to Bee and Schloder's cell, before Twitch insists they free the Decepticons as well, given G.H.O.S.T. has not turned out to be all that was promised. Schloder announces G.H.O.S.T. is finished, dramatically pulling off his badge, but the kids have already deactivated all of the cells and attempt to talk them into helping fight Mandroid, but the disinterested Decepticons depart. The remaining group head to the space bridge where they spy on Croft and Mandroid. The latter explains that Croft's scarring is due to an infusion of [[energon]] from the badge controller. He activates the space bridge to demonstrate how it can be weaponized to target energon, causing Croft's skin to slowly turns necrotic until a burst of energy leaps from the bridge to her, killing her outright. Mandroid intends to power up the bridge, which will allow him to eliminate every energon-based being on the planet. Twitch has to restrain Schloder as they come up with a counter-plan, however he's so enraged by the death of his sister that he charges at Mandroid regardless. With the hologram emitter creating an army of fake Nightshades, the others join the bum rush. Bumblebee makes it to the space bridge, but Mandroid attacks him before he can make the required changes, swiftly overcoming the Autobot. Twitch and Nightshade attempt to come to Bee's rescue, leading to Mandroid impaling Nightshade with his spear... but then the hologram fades, revealing it's actually the unharmed Schloder, who blasts Mandroid and takes possession of the spear. Everyone piles through the space bridge to escape, but as Twitch leaps, she spots the four human members of the Malto family, unconscious and wired into the tangle of mechanical vines linked to the bridge.

Twitch lands on the other side of the space bridge link and Bee blasts the receiving pad, shutting down the portal. She quickly explains to the others what she saw, but before they can formulate a rescue plan, the ground shakes and a huge edifice rises from the ground, topped with the space bridge and Mandroid himself.

'''The Autobots link up with resistance bots to plan a counter-strike while Galvatron continues to fall under Unicron's influence.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] are positioning orbital debris between [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the warp gate, hoping to slow its departure, or at least distract Galvatron long enough for [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the others to reach [[Central City (Cybertron)|Central City]] and stop [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]].

Optimus's team are being dogged by [[Constructicon Maximus]] and [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]]. They give them the slip, only to stumble into an ambush set up by their own forces. [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]'s ragtag troops are delighted that Optimus Prime has come to rescue them. They are saved from the crushing reality of Optimus's mission by three Sentai-colored [[rhyming Omnicon fanboys]] who mob Ironhide, to his <s>astonishment</s> <s>disbelief</s> delight.

[[File:E44 galvybowlgullofjelly.gif|left|thumb|If Dogbert experienced "joy" it would look like this]]
Galvatron lurks around the control room with [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]], napping while standing up and alternately berating and physically assaulting the other Decepticon. He finds Six Shot's monomaniacal obsession with destroying Optimus Prime incredibly annoying, because it distracts from his own monomaniacal obsession with following whatever [[Unicron|that little voice inside him]] demands—in this case, moving Cybertron.

Wing Saber's Autobots, still under the mistaken impression that Galvatron has captured [[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]]'s family, are planning a rescue mission south of Central City. Prime sends [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] and [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] to rescue them—which turns out to be a ''really'' good idea, because Dr. Jones isn't going to stay un-captured for long...

Dr. Jones and Rad are looking for the hole Kicker fell through as a child to get to [[Primus]], when Jones falls through himself and arrives in the [[Energon core]]. They're rescued by Primus's autonomic reflexes, but he's still "sleeping" off his recent exertion. Things go from bad to worse when [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] break into the core, having been mis-directed by [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] into thinking this is the location of the [[Super Energon Temple|Super Energon pool]]. Dr. Jones plays into their mistaken belief that this is a super-fun scavenger hunt planned for them by Starscream, and he allows himself to be led off as the next clue, hoping Rad will be able to escape. However, Mirage stays with Rad to guard him.

Optimus orders Ironhide to take [[Team Ironhide|a team]] of [[Omnicon]]s and rescue [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]] from the medical facility where he was undergoing treatment. Agreeing to use his fanboys as <s>cannon fodder</s> a super-special out-in-front strike team, Ironhide leads the charge into battle while Optimus and [[Superion Maximus]] perform a feint against Constructicon Maximus, Bruticus Maximus and Scorponok to allow both teams to get away.

[[File:E44 fullthrottle.gif|thumb|STOP. BEING. SO. STUPID.]]
Seeing Optimus in the air, Six Shot directs the [[energon grid]] to attack them instead of clearing the debris as Galvatron ordered. Goaded by Unicron, Galvatron violently beats Six Shot and re-directs the grid—without bothering to stop and see at what it was directed. Optimus and Superion Maximus escape, mystified at their close call.

Ironhide's rookies freeze at the first sight of actual live fire, but he gives them the ever-helpful advice to "just fake it!" Meanwhile, Kicker, Hot Shot, Omega Supreme and Arcee break through a troop of Decepticons—and happen upon a rail depot. Omega Supreme transforms into the titular Omega Train, and it's All Aboard for Central City!

Back on track, Cybertron cuts through the last of the debris blocking its path. The space-based Autobots are forced through the enormous warp gate by the approaching planet—and Cybertron follows soon after! The entire planet... has moved!

''
(Quotes from Superlink)''

"Impressive, Senpai! Senpai even considers the feeling of humans." 
"He thinks of them!" 
"He's not an idiot!"
:—'''rhyming Omnicon fanboys''' unintentionally dissing their hero by implying that they thought Ironhide was an idiot.

(Quote from Energon)

"Get up here guys, it's Optimus!" 
"What's the racket? Why all the fuss?" 
"Hey, you're right! It's Optimus! The Autobots are here!" 
"It must be severe!" 
"There's nothin' to fear with the Autobots here!"
:— The '''Rhyming Omnicon Fanboys''' make their singing debut.

"I have fans?"
:—'''Ironhide''', saying what we're all thinking.

'''Snow Cat:''' "What's that, buddy? It's not Super Energon? It's what's left of Cybertron's regular supply?" 
'''Demolishor:''' "Ha! Like you can even understand what that Terrorcon just said!" 
'''Snow Cat:''' "I ''can!'' We have a ''connection!'' 
'''Mirage:''' "Bah! Starscream tricked us! Or maaaaybeeee it's some kind of scavenger hunt!" 
''(The Decepticons start dancing)'' 
'''Snow Cat:''' "We found the first clue! WE FOUND THE FIRST CLUE! Oh man, I love riddles! Oo-ee-oo-lee-oo-hahaha!"
:—'''The Decepticons''' being pure chaos.

"Me? Why me?" 
"Because you're the smartest!" 
"I'm smart enough to know you're full of lies!"
:—'''Mirage''' knows darn well he's not the smartest, no matter what '''Snow Cat''' says

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
*In the dub, Ironhide denies knowing his three fans. In ''Super Link'', he does know them; they're his "underclassmen" (sempai/kouhai, it's an anime thing). The trio's rhyming schtick is a dub addition.
*The dub glosses over Unicron's influence on Megatron.
*The dub has Wing Saber stating that Galvatron has Dr. Jones and Kicker, as if they were prisoners. He's supposed to just be saying where he suspects they're located.
*The conversation among the Decepticons, upon finding Primus's chamber, is pretty mangled by the dub. It's supposed to have them thinking they've found the Super Energon, realizing instead that it's "Autobot Energon", then wondering why Galvatron only told Starscream where the Super Energon is. The dub has them identifying Primus as "what's left of Cybertron's regular [energon] supply", arguing over whether Snow Cat can understand the Terrorcons, randomly saying that Starscream tricked them, then suddenly concluding that it's a scavenger hunt.
*As Ironhide is stunned and amazed at getting his own team, the dub features the bizarrely inappropriate "catastrophe" background music, usually reserved for when something's gone disastrously wrong for the Autobots. ''Super Link'' has no background music in the scene.
*Team Ironhide's troops aren't supposed to be ''Omnicons'', just regular Autobots.
*Ironhide's advice to his troops is originally to just keep repeating to themselves: "I'm awesome!" This is one of Ironhide's signature lines in ''Super Link'', repeated whenever he achieves something, as well as in his [[commercial bumper]]. The dub changes it to Ironhide saying that when he's scared, "I fake it!" But then the troops somehow pick up various equivalents of the line themselves out of thin air.
*The dub omits several lines from Galvatron specifically stating his desire to cross over into "Alpha Q's universe", making it less clear why he's moving the planet. It's especially confusing near the end, when he says "we're finally on our way", as if the planet hasn't been moving all along.

===Pain count===
*"Uh?": 5
*Stock footage: 1
*Let's do it: 1

===Trivia===
*''Cameos'': [[Sally Jones|Sally]] and [[Miranda Jones]] appear during Alpha Q's closing recap.
*Rad and Dr. Jones are apparently made of rubber. Not only did they somehow survive their fall down an elevator shaft in the previous episode, they fall at least 30 feet to the floor when Primus drops them.
*In what may be a first for the series, the dub team is clearly having a ''lot'' of fun with Team Ironhide's ridiculous troops.
*Omega's combined train mode, shown above, has his battleship half attached to the back of his train half. This is not possible with the toy but the two halves can combine the other way round, with the train's cab slotting into the battleship's engine compartment to create a "Cybertronian Armored Super Train".

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
*In the dub, Ironhide denies knowing his three fans. In ''Super Link'', he does know them; they're his "underclassmen" (sempai/kouhai, it's an anime thing). The trio's rhyming schtick is a dub addition.
*The dub glosses over Unicron's influence on Megatron.
*The dub has Wing Saber stating that Galvatron has Dr. Jones and Kicker, as if they were prisoners. He's supposed to just be saying where he suspects they're located.
*The conversation among the Decepticons, upon finding Primus's chamber, is pretty mangled by the dub. It's supposed to have them thinking they've found the Super Energon, realizing instead that it's "Autobot Energon", then wondering why Galvatron only told Starscream where the Super Energon is. The dub has them identifying Primus as "what's left of Cybertron's regular [energon] supply", arguing over whether Snow Cat can understand the Terrorcons, randomly saying that Starscream tricked them, then suddenly concluding that it's a scavenger hunt.
*As Ironhide is stunned and amazed at getting his own team, the dub features the bizarrely inappropriate "catastrophe" background music, usually reserved for when something's gone disastrously wrong for the Autobots. ''Super Link'' has no background music in the scene.
*Team Ironhide's troops aren't supposed to be ''Omnicons'', just regular Autobots.
*Ironhide's advice to his troops is originally to just keep repeating to themselves: "I'm awesome!" This is one of Ironhide's signature lines in ''Super Link'', repeated whenever he achieves something, as well as in his [[commercial bumper]]. The dub changes it to Ironhide saying that when he's scared, "I fake it!" But then the troops somehow pick up various equivalents of the line themselves out of thin air.
*The dub omits several lines from Galvatron specifically stating his desire to cross over into "Alpha Q's universe", making it less clear why he's moving the planet. It's especially confusing near the end, when he says "we're finally on our way", as if the planet hasn't been moving all along.

===Pain count===
*"Uh?": 5
*Stock footage: 1
*Let's do it: 1

===Trivia===
*''Cameos'': [[Sally Jones|Sally]] and [[Miranda Jones]] appear during Alpha Q's closing recap.
*Rad and Dr. Jones are apparently made of rubber. Not only did they somehow survive their fall down an elevator shaft in the previous episode, they fall at least 30 feet to the floor when Primus drops them.
*In what may be a first for the series, the dub team is clearly having a ''lot'' of fun with Team Ironhide's ridiculous troops.
*Omega's combined train mode, shown above, has his battleship half attached to the back of his train half. This is not possible with the toy but the two halves can combine the other way round, with the train's cab slotting into the battleship's engine compartment to create a "Cybertronian Armored Super Train".

'''The Decepticons struggle with a sabotaged energon grid and a group of mutated Terrorcons, Ironhide learns the trials of leadership, and Optimus Prime tries to walk to a door.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] recaps last episode's ending events: [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] found his family, and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] have uncovered something ominous <s>below</s> in the [[Super Energon Temple|Super Energon chamber]].

[[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] makes his way up a ladder to freedom, hoping the [[Decepticon]]s won't catch up with him. A second later, however, Snow Cat and Demolishor come storming past as fast as they can go. Hot on their heels: a horde of beetle [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]].

[[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] has [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]] at swordpoint, demanding to know why he should spare him. Six Shot explains that only he can unlock the energon grid. Just then a rumbling interrupts them. Demolishor reports in from amid the horde of supersized Terrorcon beetles. Galvatron realizes they need [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] to stop the monsters, but he's currently engaged in battle with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Six Shot says ''he'' knows a way to get rid of the Autobots; all it'll take is a little [[energon gas]]!

[[File:Energon-Insecticon-Rampage.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|left|Dr. Jones is [[Spider-Man]]?]] Prime, [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega]] and [[Superion Maximus]] are approaching the spaceport. Scorponok briefly engages him, but is recalled by [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]], leaving [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus|Constructicon]] to deal with the Autobots alone.

In the control center, in exchange for releasing the [[energon grid]], Six Shot wants... an apology from Galvatron. And maybe for him to bow! Starscream voluntarily does this instead, and Six Shot is placated.

Soon the gas floods the battlefield, and the Autobots hasten to get indoors.

Leaving [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] behind, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker make the leap down to the chamber of [[Primus]], where [[Rad White|Rad]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] are. Mirage isn't happy to see them; but before he can act, Arcee fires an energon star into Primus, who drives Mirage out. Kicker asks about his dad; Rad says he went to get help, or something.

Somewhere below ground, Dr. Jones rewires a circuit panel to shut down the gas flow from the Super Energon Temple.

Optimus and the others struggle to make it through the gas, but it begins to clear. In the command center, Six Shot is baffled by the shut down. It doesn't take Galvatron long to start bashing him around for this failure, and demand an apology of his own. Galvatron takes his troops and heads to the surface.

[[File:Energon-Starscream-Apology.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Starscream finally acknowledges he's a sub.]] Scorponok finds that the mutated Terrorcons aren't listening to him. As he struggles to control them, [[Team Ironhide]] arrives.

With the energon gas clearing, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] head to the surface. Elsewhere, the other Autobots have their hands full with the [[combiner]]s. The battle escalates as the two Autobots and Galvatron's troops arrive.

[[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] find Dr. Jones, but soon Scorponok arrives with his Terrorcons. Ironhide wants to fall back, but Dr. Jones says that Primus needs any energon they have with them, so they prepare to head that way instead. Ironhide's three troops, however, want to stay and hold off Scorponok. They attack, only to get knocked away with a single tail swipe. Kicker and Arcee arrive, and take Dr. Jones away to safety.

Ironhide bashes away the first two Terrorcons with ease, then observes his team lying damaged. Furious, he challenges Scorponok. After a moment of trash talk, Ironhide strikes a furious blow, penetrating Scorponok's armor and sending raw power into him. He realizes the power is coming from his fallen comrades. He transforms and drives away.

[[File:Energon-Ironhide-Punches-Scorponok.jpg‎|upright=1.3|thumb|left|''This'' is for killing the most annoying characters in the franchise!]] Prime and Omega encounter Galvatron in a corridor. At a disadvantage in the tight quarters, they head topside. Rodimus tells them that they'll soon arrive at the space bridge. Galvatron emerges and swears to destroy Optimus.

Ironhide, Kicker and the [[Omnicon]]s arrive at Primus's chambers, and Kicker's family is reunited at last. Ironhide offers Primus the [[energon]] that his team—his friends—fought hard to bring. At first, there is no response, but then Primus begins to glow more brightly.

On the surface, Galvatron gloats that with all the main Autobots present, he can make a clean sweep. The two sides trade trash talk. Suddenly Prime's chest glows red with the power of a re-awakened Primus; he and Omega can combine again, and do. Optimus Supreme makes like the Tasmanian Devil, sending the Decepticons flying.

With everyone busy, Six Shot uncovers what was done to the energon grid, and decides he can use it to his advantage.

Damaged, Scorponok lies surrounded by the giant Terrorcons. They ignore his order to return to the Energon Temple, and instead fire energon bursts at him, healing his wound. Scorponok is shocked.

In the chamber of Primus, Ironhide weeps for his teammates. Kicker tells him that he's shown that he's got what it takes to be a leader.

==Quotes==

"Look, that light! Primus is expanding the energy of the energon!"
:—'''Dr. Jones''' scoffs at the second law of thermodynamics.

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
* The dub inserts a statement from Dr. Jones that the Terrorcons "seem to have transformed". It's supposed to mean that they've been enlarged by the Super Energon. In ''Super Link'', the plot point isn't explained till Demolishor's report a moment later.
* In the dub, Galvatron readily accepts Six Shot's explanation that only he can unlock the energon grid. In ''Super Link'', Galvatron rages at him instead, saying he won't accept a Decepticon that doesn't follow his orders.
* When Kicker asks Rad where his father is, Rad tells him that "I think he went to get some help." ''No Rad, last time you saw Dr. Jones he was being led off by two Decepticons and he was hoping you would be able to escape!'' In ''Super Link'', he just says something along the lines of "Uh, about that..."
* As Dr. Jones works on his circuit panel, the dub omits a bit where he imitates Kicker telling him "What can you do?" The dub ''doesn't'' omit Dr. Jones' own answer, however, leaving him randomly saying "I can do lots of things, Kicker!"
* The dub also makes it sound like the purpose of his tampering is to signal Optimus Prime. It isn't.
* In the dub, Galvatron simply orders Six Shot to "apologize". Originally, he orders him to apologize to his loyal servant Starscream.
* As usual, the dub team is loath to admit that anyone actually dies, so Scorponok simply says that Ironhide's teammates are "down" (making it very odd when Ironhide just drives off without them.) In ''Super Link'', he repeatedly gloats to Ironhide about their deaths, saying things like "Did you think nobody would die in a war?"
* Also as usual, the dub gets very confused about space bridges and the like. Rodimus tells Optimus that "the space bridge should be appearing any minute now", when what he's supposed to be saying is that Cybertron will soon ''exit'' the space bridge and arrive in Alpha Q's universe.
* The dub omits a running theme of Dr. Jones being out of shape and exhausted from his journey up the ladder (which is why he falls down when the group arrives in Primus's chamber).
* In an odd reversal, the dub ''adds'' dialog for Primus where previously there was none.
* The dub animation is missing the tears falling from Ironhide's optics.
* The dub omits Dr. Jones' explanation that Ironhide was unable to protect his comrades because he was protecting him. This is why Dr. Jones dejectedly looks at the floor. Instead, the dub inserts a strange, peppy line from Dr. Jones about how "Ironhide learned a big lesson today!"
* The dub has Kicker telling Ironhide that he showed that he's got what it takes to be a leader. In ''Super Link'', he tells Ironhide to save his tears until they have achieved the hopes of their future.
* When Scorponok is healed by the upgraded Terrorcons, he cries out, "What have you done to me?!" as though they've done something worse than sealing the gaping wound in his chest. In ''Super Link'', his reaction is awed, rather than horrified.

===Pain count===
* "Uh?": 9
* Stock footage: 2
* It's time to: 1
* We've gotta: 2

===Animation and technical errors===
* When Six Shot is trying to figure out why the Energon grid isn't working, he suddenly stops and look at the screen, ''identical'' to the one he's been looking at. The shot is missing a blinking green overlay showing the affected areas in both English and Japanese versions, though the pulsing sound effect that accompanies it is still there. The shot will be fixed when it reappears in the next episode.
* Terrorcons and Omnicons seem to magically appear and disappear and do about nothing else in the corridor where Scorponok and Ironhide fight.

===Continuity errors===
* "Ironhide Team" is about ''Team Ironhide''. *sigh*
* Snow Cat and Demolishor's dialog before being attacked by the giant Insecticon is different from last episode.
* Bulkhead, Downshift and Prowl disappear for the first half of the episode, and then reappear later when Rodimus shows up and needs someone to [[Powerlinx]] with; apparently they were with Optimus, Omega Supreme and Superion Maximus all along.
* When Ironhide tells Kicker to "Take the Energon and go to Primus," he's clearly shown with an Energon star on his arm. What Kicker actually ''took'' was the Omnicons—which are barely visible in two long shots in this scene due to poor shot composition—without whom the actions and reactions of the characters make no sense at all.

===Real-world references===
* Demolishor and Snow Cat hold TV reporter-style microphones when reporting in to Galvatron.
* Starscream's symbolic apology in Galvatron's place—and Six Shot's acceptance of it—is a reference (of sorts) to the relationships between feudal lords and their retainers specific to Japan. The scene would make perfect sense to a Japanese viewer, recognizing the symbolic gestures and social norms that demanded Six Shot accept a completely insincere apology. The dub (naturally) laid ''no'' groundwork to support this outside of that context, so the scene come off as absolutely ''looney'' if you don't know what's going on—especially Six Shot's immediate acceptance.

===Trivia===
* Demolishor is not voiced by his usual actor in this episode.
* Dr. Jones wears a [[hard hat]].

* In the dub, Galvatron simply orders Six Shot to "apologize". Originally, he orders him to apologize to his loyal servant Starscream.
* As usual, the dub team is loath to admit that anyone actually dies, so Scorponok simply says that Ironhide's teammates are "down" (making it very odd when Ironhide just drives off without them.) In ''Super Link'', he repeatedly gloats to Ironhide about their deaths, saying things like "Did you think nobody would die in a war?"
* Also as usual, the dub gets very confused about space bridges and the like. Rodimus tells Optimus that "the space bridge should be appearing any minute now", when what he's supposed to be saying is that Cybertron will soon ''exit'' the space bridge and arrive in Alpha Q's universe.
* The dub omits a running theme of Dr. Jones being out of shape and exhausted from his journey up the ladder (which is why he falls down when the group arrives in Primus's chamber).
* In an odd reversal, the dub ''adds'' dialog for Primus where previously there was none.
* The dub animation is missing the tears falling from Ironhide's optics.
* The dub omits Dr. Jones' explanation that Ironhide was unable to protect his comrades because he was protecting him. This is why Dr. Jones dejectedly looks at the floor. Instead, the dub inserts a strange, peppy line from Dr. Jones about how "Ironhide learned a big lesson today!"
* The dub has Kicker telling Ironhide that he showed that he's got what it takes to be a leader. In ''Super Link'', he tells Ironhide to save his tears until they have achieved the hopes of their future.
* When Scorponok is healed by the upgraded Terrorcons, he cries out, "What have you done to me?!" as though they've done something worse than sealing the gaping wound in his chest. In ''Super Link'', his reaction is awed, rather than horrified.

===Pain count===
* "Uh?": 9
* Stock footage: 2
* It's time to: 1
* We've gotta: 2

===Animation and technical errors===
* When Six Shot is trying to figure out why the Energon grid isn't working, he suddenly stops and look at the screen, ''identical'' to the one he's been looking at. The shot is missing a blinking green overlay showing the affected areas in both English and Japanese versions, though the pulsing sound effect that accompanies it is still there. The shot will be fixed when it reappears in the next episode.
* Terrorcons and Omnicons seem to magically appear and disappear and do about nothing else in the corridor where Scorponok and Ironhide fight.

===Continuity errors===
* "Ironhide Team" is about ''Team Ironhide''. *sigh*
* Snow Cat and Demolishor's dialog before being attacked by the giant Insecticon is different from last episode.
* Bulkhead, Downshift and Prowl disappear for the first half of the episode, and then reappear later when Rodimus shows up and needs someone to [[Powerlinx]] with; apparently they were with Optimus, Omega Supreme and Superion Maximus all along.
* When Ironhide tells Kicker to "Take the Energon and go to Primus," he's clearly shown with an Energon star on his arm. What Kicker actually ''took'' was the Omnicons—which are barely visible in two long shots in this scene due to poor shot composition—without whom the actions and reactions of the characters make no sense at all.

===Real-world references===
* Demolishor and Snow Cat hold TV reporter-style microphones when reporting in to Galvatron.
* Starscream's symbolic apology in Galvatron's place—and Six Shot's acceptance of it—is a reference (of sorts) to the relationships between feudal lords and their retainers specific to Japan. The scene would make perfect sense to a Japanese viewer, recognizing the symbolic gestures and social norms that demanded Six Shot accept a completely insincere apology. The dub (naturally) laid ''no'' groundwork to support this outside of that context, so the scene come off as absolutely ''looney'' if you don't know what's going on—especially Six Shot's immediate acceptance.

===Trivia===
* Demolishor is not voiced by his usual actor in this episode.
* Dr. Jones wears a [[hard hat]].

'''The Decepticons struggle with a sabotaged energon grid and a group of mutated Terrorcons, Ironhide learns the trials of leadership, and Optimus Prime tries to walk to a door.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] recaps last episode's ending events: [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] found his family, and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] and [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] have uncovered something ominous <s>below</s> in the [[Super Energon Temple|Super Energon chamber]].

[[Brian Jones|Dr. Jones]] makes his way up a ladder to freedom, hoping the [[Decepticon]]s won't catch up with him. A second later, however, Snow Cat and Demolishor come storming past as fast as they can go. Hot on their heels: a horde of beetle [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]].

[[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] has [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]] at swordpoint, demanding to know why he should spare him. Six Shot explains that only he can unlock the energon grid. Just then a rumbling interrupts them. Demolishor reports in from amid the horde of supersized Terrorcon beetles. Galvatron realizes they need [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] to stop the monsters, but he's currently engaged in battle with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Six Shot says ''he'' knows a way to get rid of the Autobots; all it'll take is a little [[energon gas]]!

[[File:Energon-Insecticon-Rampage.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|left|Dr. Jones is [[Spider-Man]]?]] Prime, [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega]] and [[Superion Maximus]] are approaching the spaceport. Scorponok briefly engages him, but is recalled by [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]], leaving [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus|Constructicon]] to deal with the Autobots alone.

In the control center, in exchange for releasing the [[energon grid]], Six Shot wants... an apology from Galvatron. And maybe for him to bow! Starscream voluntarily does this instead, and Six Shot is placated.

Soon the gas floods the battlefield, and the Autobots hasten to get indoors.

Leaving [[Hot Shot (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Hot Shot]] behind, [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] and Kicker make the leap down to the chamber of [[Primus]], where [[Rad White|Rad]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] are. Mirage isn't happy to see them; but before he can act, Arcee fires an energon star into Primus, who drives Mirage out. Kicker asks about his dad; Rad says he went to get help, or something.

Somewhere below ground, Dr. Jones rewires a circuit panel to shut down the gas flow from the Super Energon Temple.

Optimus and the others struggle to make it through the gas, but it begins to clear. In the command center, Six Shot is baffled by the shut down. It doesn't take Galvatron long to start bashing him around for this failure, and demand an apology of his own. Galvatron takes his troops and heads to the surface.

[[File:Energon-Starscream-Apology.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Starscream finally acknowledges he's a sub.]] Scorponok finds that the mutated Terrorcons aren't listening to him. As he struggles to control them, [[Team Ironhide]] arrives.

With the energon gas clearing, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] head to the surface. Elsewhere, the other Autobots have their hands full with the [[combiner]]s. The battle escalates as the two Autobots and Galvatron's troops arrive.

[[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] find Dr. Jones, but soon Scorponok arrives with his Terrorcons. Ironhide wants to fall back, but Dr. Jones says that Primus needs any energon they have with them, so they prepare to head that way instead. Ironhide's three troops, however, want to stay and hold off Scorponok. They attack, only to get knocked away with a single tail swipe. Kicker and Arcee arrive, and take Dr. Jones away to safety.

Ironhide bashes away the first two Terrorcons with ease, then observes his team lying damaged. Furious, he challenges Scorponok. After a moment of trash talk, Ironhide strikes a furious blow, penetrating Scorponok's armor and sending raw power into him. He realizes the power is coming from his fallen comrades. He transforms and drives away.

[[File:Energon-Ironhide-Punches-Scorponok.jpg‎|upright=1.3|thumb|left|''This'' is for killing the most annoying characters in the franchise!]] Prime and Omega encounter Galvatron in a corridor. At a disadvantage in the tight quarters, they head topside. Rodimus tells them that they'll soon arrive at the space bridge. Galvatron emerges and swears to destroy Optimus.

Ironhide, Kicker and the [[Omnicon]]s arrive at Primus's chambers, and Kicker's family is reunited at last. Ironhide offers Primus the [[energon]] that his team—his friends—fought hard to bring. At first, there is no response, but then Primus begins to glow more brightly.

On the surface, Galvatron gloats that with all the main Autobots present, he can make a clean sweep. The two sides trade trash talk. Suddenly Prime's chest glows red with the power of a re-awakened Primus; he and Omega can combine again, and do. Optimus Supreme makes like the Tasmanian Devil, sending the Decepticons flying.

With everyone busy, Six Shot uncovers what was done to the energon grid, and decides he can use it to his advantage.

Damaged, Scorponok lies surrounded by the giant Terrorcons. They ignore his order to return to the Energon Temple, and instead fire energon bursts at him, healing his wound. Scorponok is shocked.

In the chamber of Primus, Ironhide weeps for his teammates. Kicker tells him that he's shown that he's got what it takes to be a leader.

"Impressive, Senpai! Senpai even considers the feeling of humans." 
"He thinks of them!" 
"He's not an idiot!"
:—'''rhyming Omnicon fanboys''' unintentionally dissing there hero by implying that they thought Ironhide was abit of an idiot.

"Look, that light! Primus is expanding the energy of the energon!"
:—'''Dr. Jones''' scoffs at the second law of thermodynamics.

==Notes==
===Lost in translation===
* The dub inserts a statement from Dr. Jones that the Terrorcons "seem to have transformed". It's supposed to mean that they've been enlarged by the Super Energon. In ''Super Link'', the plot point isn't explained till Demolishor's report a moment later.
* In the dub, Galvatron readily accepts Six Shot's explanation that only he can unlock the energon grid. In ''Super Link'', Galvatron rages at him instead, saying he won't accept a Decepticon that doesn't follow his orders.
* When Kicker asks Rad where his father is, Rad tells him that "I think he went to get some help." ''No Rad, last time you saw Dr. Jones he was being led off by two Decepticons and he was hoping you would be able to escape!'' In ''Super Link'', he just says something along the lines of "Uh, about that..."
* As Dr. Jones works on his circuit panel, the dub omits a bit where he imitates Kicker telling him "What can you do?" The dub ''doesn't'' omit Dr. Jones' own answer, however, leaving him randomly saying "I can do lots of things, Kicker!"
* The dub also makes it sound like the purpose of his tampering is to signal Optimus Prime. It isn't.

Pizza-king1:

Okay so like... this one really kinda drove home how weird it feels to have the ENTIRETY of everything under the "Generations" umbrella all listed in one clump. We go from Legacy to... Dark of the freakin' Moon. That's over a decade's leap backwards. So... any compelling reason to not break it up and treat Generations less as a "line" and more just a piece of ignorable branding for pages like this? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 22:30, 1 May 2023 (EDT)
:Couldn't agree more. We basically stopped doing that on all of the toy sections of characters' pages, keeping the Generations header only up to Thrilling 30 and treating everything from Combiner Wars onward as their own individual lines. No reason we shouldn't also be doing that here. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 23:08, 1 May 2023 (EDT)
::I am not married to any particular formatting as long as the credits are there, so it's fine by me. Side note, these pages are definitely showing their age even with my updates to the raw data so the facelifts are much appreciated. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 23:49, 1 May 2023 (EDT)

Fun fact.

During pre-production of TF: Revenge of the Fallen, Hasui created a combiner concept model (made from various Japanese robot and superhero toys)

[[File:Energonep1 omnicons and energon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.

The known Omnicons are:

* [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]]
* [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]]
* [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]]
* [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]
* [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon===
{{noteslonly}}
There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

''It was revealed that Omnicons were originally members of the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s armies that left [[Cybertron]] to follow [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] into space. Rather than continue to battle, they learn how to co-exist with one another and put their skills into mining and processing energon, which as time passes evolved them into the Omnicons. Only a select few know the Omnicon actual origins, [[Primus]] being one of them.'' {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

===''Energon'' comic===
The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.

==Notes==
* According to [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], the original idea for the Omnicons and [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] by the design departments of both Hasbro and Takara was for them to be evolved [[Mini-Con]]s. ''[[Transformers: Super Cross|Super Cross]]'', a scrapped early proposal for what would eventually become ''Energon'', tied this evolution to Unicron's energy mutating captive Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons alike into new forms; by the time ''Energon'' entered early development, Takara's marketing department, the only people from Takara ever directly talking to [[We've]], completely ignored this idea, and so the [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|final cartoon]] established its own backstory for the group. When Ichikawa found out about that, he never bothered trying to link his [[Linkage (comic)|''Linkage'' comic]] and the ''Superlink'' cartoon.<ref name="ichikawa">[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/43847f79db724831 "Wing Saber vs. Mega-Dinobot: A Lesson"], Hirofumi Ichikawa at alt.toys.transformers</ref> A remnant of this concept may have persisted into [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s short-lived ''[[Transformers: Energon (comic)|Energon]]'' comic; [[This Evil Reborn|issue #19]] shows the Omnicons living in the former Mini-Con villages, while [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] describes them as the product of an "evolutionary step"—although it's not outright established that they ''are'' evolved Mini-Cons.
* The name [[Omnibot]]s might have been considered for the Omnicons, according to designer [[Aaron Archer]].<ref>{{citesocial|quote=There are now to many “bot” names in the market.

The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.

There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

''It was revealed that Omnicons were originally the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s factions that left [[Cybertron]] to follow [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] into space. Rather than continue to battle, they learn how to co-exist with one another and put their skills into mining and processing energon, which as time passes evolved them into the Omnicons. Only a select few know the Omnicon actual origins, [[Primus]] being one of them.'' {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.

* According to [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], the original idea for the Omnicons and [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] by the design departments of both Hasbro and Takara was for them to be evolved [[Mini-Con]]s. ''[[Transformers: Super Cross|Super Cross]]'', a scrapped early proposal for what would eventually become ''Energon'', tied this evolution to Unicron's energy mutating captive Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons alike into new forms; by the time ''Energon'' entered early development, Takara's marketing department, the only people from Takara ever directly talking to [[We've]], completely ignored this idea, and so the [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|final cartoon]] established its own backstory for the group.

The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.

There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

''It was revealed that Omnicons were originally the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s factions that left [[Cybertron]] to follow Rodimus into space. Rather than continue to battle, they learn how to co-exist with one another and put there skills into mining and processing energon, which as time passes evolved them into the Omnicons.'' {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

===''Energon'' comic===
The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.

:''The Omnicons are an [[Autobot]] subgroup in the [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[File:Energonep1 omnicons and energon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]
The '''Omnicons''' are [[Transformer]]s, larger than [[Mini-Con]]s but still fairly small, that have the ability to handle and process raw [[energon]]. They can convert this substance into useful tools and weapons, or into [[Energon star]]s.

The known Omnicons are:

* [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]]
* [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]]
* [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]]
* [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]]
* [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]

==Fiction==
===''Energon'' cartoon===
There are hundreds of identical Omnicons, and large squads of them with identical body types are very common. However, they are not drones, but individuals with full capabilities for independent thought. They are led by Arcee, who has a unique bodyframe among the Omnicons.

''It was revealed that Omnicons were originally the autobots and decepticon factions that left Cybertron to follow Rodimus into space. Rather than continue to battle, they learn how to co-exist with one another and put there skills into mining and processing energon, which as time passes evolved them into the Omnicons.'' {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

===''Energon'' comic===
The Omnicons came about during " a time of expansion" on Cybertron, in the wake of Unicron and Megatron's defeat. They had "underdeveloped" social skills according to [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], along with a tendency to preface anything they said with "CRZ" or "ZRT" or something.
{{Unreleased energon comic}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Aurex 304.0 Epsilon]], the Omnicons were a faction led by [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], opposing the Autobots and Decepticons alike in their quest to exploit the Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/11}}

In an unspecified universe visited by [[Vector Prime]], the notorious reconstituted revenant [[Carillon]] commanded a horde of vampiric Omnicons. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30}}

:The Omnicons, along with their counterparts the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], were sold carded, and filled the $7 price point previously filled by the [[Mini-Con]]s in ''Armada''. They transform into futuristic/fanciful Earthly vehicles. Each comes with a translucent colored "Energon weapon", which can be combined and assembled in multiple configurations. The Omnicons and Terrorcons marked the return of the Basic [[size class]] in practice if not in name, which had not been part of the ''Armada'' toyline.

: Part of the first Transformers ''[[Attacktix]]'' assortment, Omnicon is a "generic" figure based on the [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]]/[[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]] body design, in mainly black and bronze. Omnicon has 4 points of articulation; waist, head and shoulders. While he is a small-based figure he is capable of creating an effective defensive tripod — that is, supporting himself with his missile-launching arm.

:Omnicon's special power allows you to make an extra attack on your next turn if you have an Autobot figure in play.

==Notes==
* According to [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], the original idea for the Omnicons and [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] by the design departments of both Hasbro and Takara was for them to be evolved [[Mini-Con]]s. ''[[Transformers: Super Cross|Super Cross]]'', a scrapped early proposal for what would eventually become ''Energon'', tied this evolution to Unicron's energy mutating captive Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons alike into new forms; by the time ''Energon'' entered early development, Takara's marketing department, the only people from Takara ever directly talking to [[We've]], completely ignored this idea, and so the [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|final cartoon]] established its own backstory for the group. When Ichikawa found out about that, he never bothered trying to link his [[Linkage (comic)|''Linkage'' comic]] and the ''Superlink'' cartoon.<ref name="ichikawa">[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/43847f79db724831 "Wing Saber vs. Mega-Dinobot: A Lesson"], Hirofumi Ichikawa at alt.toys.transformers</ref> A remnant of this concept may have persisted into [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s short-lived ''[[Transformers: Energon (comic)|Energon]]'' comic; [[This Evil Reborn|issue #19]] shows the Omnicons living in the former Mini-Con villages, while [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] describes them as the product of an "evolutionary step"—although it's not outright established that they ''are'' evolved Mini-Cons.

'''With Agent Croft now moving against them, the Malto family and their allies gather to make their last stand.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Mandroid]] finds [[Karen Croft|Executive Agent Croft]] overseeing cleanup around the still-active [[space bridge]]. He informs her that he's found a cure for his condition and presents her with a new device — one which, as he demonstrates, will give her power over anyone or anything wearing a [[G.H.O.S.T.]] badge. She immediately tries to turn the tables by slapping a badge on Mandroid, but he catches her arm and dangles her in the air, telling her that she should be focusing on the Malto offspring. Making changes to the space bridge settings, he tosses Croft aside and, despite her protests that it's untested, walks through.

Elsewhere, [[Robby Malto|Robby]], [[Twitch]], [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] are fleeing from [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]] through a corn field. Robby observes that the 'Con is wearing a badge like the one Mandroid used to control [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], shortly before Shockwave shoots down Nightshade and menaces them, but after a brief fight, the Maltos again attempt to get away. Back at the farm, Hashtag is desperately trying to reestablish communications with the others, when [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] points out that the system is tracking them and they're heading into [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]]. The townsfolk flee as Shockwave fires wildly at the Maltos, however one of the townsfolk is an undercover G.H.O.S.T. agent who calls HQ to raise the alarm. G.H.O.S.T. starts mobilizing, with an agent briefing [[Dot Malto]]. The Maltos manage to take Shockwave down once [[Mo Malto|Mo]] slices the cable to his arm cannon, but the celebrating team is quickly surrounded by G.H.O.S.T. agents. One of the agents panics and fires a rocket, which Thrash deflects, resulting it it instead hitting the road in front of Dot's truck, creating a crater that she crashes into. [[Alex Malto|Alex]] arrives and goes to help her, but she instead tells him to go aid the kids. With Alex's help, the Maltos are able to get away bar Dot, who's surrounded by agents.

Back at the farm, Nightshade thinks they can safely remove Mandroid's control tech from Shockwave, though Twitch believes the Decepticon will still turn on them. Hashtag argues that as she knows what it's like to be controlled by Mandroid, and Jawbreaker points out that helping Shockwave is what Dot would have wanted. Thrash laments that maybe the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s have permanently ruined things with their war, but both Alex and Twitch refute that logic. Shockwave reactivates, but he's only interested in getting revenge on Croft — as it turns out, Hashtag discovers that G.H.O.S.T. has places a communications blackout on Witwicky, so they can't get help in going after the clandestine organization. Shockwave shows her a subspace frequency to use to try to get around the block, but as she's doing that, Croft arrives at the farm with Dot. Alex intercepts them the door and Croft invites herself into the house, hoping to meet the rest of the family. The two parents try to play along with her, and Alex makes the excuse that the kids are at a friend's place, stepping out to go "pick them up", only to find a troop of [[Ghoid]]s outside the house.

In the Dugout, the kids resolve to fight their way out if necessary. Croft delivers an ultimatum to Dot to turn the Maltobots over to G.H.O.S.T., which Dot doesn't take kindly to and, as the bots crash out of the barn to battle the Ghoids, Dot and Croft start their own fight in the house. The battle outside is going so-so when reinforcements arrive in the form of [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]], [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]], [[Arcee (ES)|Arcee]], [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]] and [[Wheeljack (ES)|Wheeljack]], who received Hashtag's distress call. Dot kicks Croft out through the front door, and once the agent sees the comprehensive pounding her forces are undergoing outside, she goes to make an escape. A G.H.O.S.T. truck pulls up, only for Optimus to smash it with his axe. The Autobots surround Croft and Optimus demands she stand down, but instead she pulls out the device Mandroid gave her earlier and activates it. To her surprise, it attaches itself to the back of her hand and as the Autobots around her collapse, glowing lines appear over her skin. The Ghoids begin picking themselves up, restraining Shockwave and surrounding the Maltos. Dot tries to reason with Croft to no avail, but to the surprise of everyone present, clouds start gathering overhead. A portal opens in the sky and through it comes a monstrous robotic figure that speaks in the voice of Mandroid...

==Premise==
Fifteen years after the end of the war between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, young [[human]]s [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]] are struggling to adapt after moving from [[Philadelphia]] to the small town of [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]], [[Pennsylvania]].

The Autobots, now working with [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]] and the secret human organization [[G.H.O.S.T.]] to protect Earth from the remaining rogue Decepticons, reach out to the Maltos and offer the Terrans the chance to be mentored by [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]]. With new threats on the horizon, such as the mad scientist [[Mandroid]] and the various Decepticons still at large, the Maltos work together to keep each other safe and learn more about each other, including what it truly means to be a family.

'''With Agent Croft now moving against them, the Malto family and their allies gather to make their last stand.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Mandroid]] finds [[Karen Croft|Executive Agent Croft]] overseeing cleanup around the still-active [[space bridge]]. He informs her that he's found a cure for his condition and presents her with a new device — one which, as he demonstrates, will give her power over anyone or anything wearing a [[G.H.O.S.T.]] badge. She immediately tries to turn the tables by slapping a badge on Mandroid, but he catches her arm and dangles her in the air, telling her that she should be focusing on the Malto offspring. Making changes to the space bridge settings, he tosses Croft aside and, despite her protests that it's untested, walks through.

Elsewhere, [[Robby Malto|Robby]], [[Twitch]], [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] are fleeing from [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]] through a corn field. Robby observes that the 'Con is wearing a badge like the one Mandroid used to control [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], shortly before Shockwave shoots down Nightshade and menaces them, but after a brief fight, the Maltos again attempt to get away. Back at the farm, Hashtag is desperately trying to reestablish communications with the others, when [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] points out that the system is tracking them and they're heading into [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]]. The townsfolk flee as Shockwave fires wildly at the Maltos, however one of the townsfolk is an undercover G.H.O.S.T. agent who calls HQ to raise the alarm. G.H.O.S.T. starts mobilizing, with an agent briefing [[Dot Malto]]. The Maltos manage to take Shockwave down once [[Mo Malto|Mo]] slices the cable to his arm cannon, but the celebrating team is quickly surrounded by G.H.O.S.T. agents. One of the agents panics and fires a rocket, which Thrash deflects, resulting it it instead hitting the road in front of Dot's truck, creating a crater that she crashes into. [[Alex Malto|Alex]] arrives and goes to help her, but she instead tells him to go aid the kids. With Alex's help, the Maltos are able to get away bar Dot, who's surrounded by agents.

Back at the farm, Nightshade thinks they can safely remove Mandroid's control tech from Shockwave, though Twitch believes the Decepticon will still turn on them. Hashtag argues that as she knows what it's like to be controlled by Mandroid, and Jawbreaker points out that helping Shockwave is what Dot would have wanted. Thrash laments that maybe the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s have permanently ruined things with their war with both Alex and Twitch refuting that logic. Shockwave reactivates, but he's only interested in getting revenge on Croft — as it turns out, Hashtag discovers that G.H.O.S.T. has places a communications blackout on Witwicky, so they can't get help in going after the clandestine organization. Shockwave shows her a subspace frequency to use to try to get around the block, but as she's doing that, Croft arrives at the farm with Dot. Alex intercepts them the door and Croft invites herself into the house, hoping to meet the rest of the family. The two parents try to play along with her, and Alex makes the excuse that the kids are at a friend's place, stepping out to go "pick them up", only to find a troop of [[Ghoid]]s outside the house.

In the Dugout, the kids resolve to fight their way out if necessary. Croft delivers an ultimatum to Dot to turn the Maltobots over to G.H.O.S.T., which Dot doesn't take kindly to and, as the bots crash out of the barn to battle the Ghoids, Dot and Croft start their own fight in the house. The battle outside is going so-so when reinforcements arrive in the form of [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]], [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]], [[Arcee (ES)|Arcee]], [[Grimlock (ES)|Grimlock]] and [[Wheeljack (ES)|Wheeljack]], who received Hashtag's distress call. Dot kicks Croft out through the front door, and once the agent sees the comprehensive pounding her forces are undergoing outside, she goes to make an escape. A G.H.O.S.T. truck pulls up, only for Optimus to smash it with his axe. The Autobots surround Croft and Optimus demands she stand down, but instead she pulls out the device Mandroid gave her earlier and activates it. To her surprise, it attaches itself to the back of her hand and as the Autobots around her collapse, glowing lines appear over her skin. The Ghoids begin picking themselves up, restraining Shockwave and surrounding the Maltos. Dot tries to reason with Croft to no avail, but to the surprise of everyone present, clouds start gathering overhead. A portal opens in the sky and through it comes a monstrous robotic figure that speaks in the voice of Mandroid...

'''Optimus gives Bumblebee the task of finding out what G.H.O.S.T. are up to, and the Maltos lend a hand.'''

==Synopsis==
In the dark of night, [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] meets with [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] at [[Witwicky Donuts]]. Optimus has found a piece of [[Mandroid]] technology in [[G.H.O.S.T.]] HQ and assigns Bumblebee the task of infiltrating a section of the HQ that Optimus doesn't have access to.

At the Malto farm the next morning, the kids are playing a round of the floor is lava, though [[Robby Malto|Robby]] objects to [[Twitch]] using her alt mode to fly. Bumblebee tells them he can't join the game as he has a mission and, though the kids want to help, Bumblebee prefers to keep them off G.H.O.S.T.'s radar. [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] provides him with a [[mobile hologram emitter]] and the [[Smart Trainer 5008]]. As the scout heads off, the kids resolve to help him in his mission anyway. To this end, Twitch tails him using her alt mode, though she struggles to keep up and ends up smashed into the front of a truck at one point.

At HQ, [[Megatron (ES)|Megatron]] and [[Karen Croft|Executive Agent Croft]] argue about how best to pursue [[Starscream (ES)|Starscream]] until Optimus interrupts them to encourage cooperation. Croft turns down Optimus's query about the areas of the base he can't access.

Twitch tracks Bumblebee to the [[Witwicky Ranger Station]], where he heads into a tunnel hidden behind a huge boulder. Once she reports back to the [[Dugout]] via radio, Robby takes [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] and Nightshade to join her while the others remain back to monitor from the Dugout. While Bumblebee stealthily makes his way through the G.H.O.S.T. base, the Maltos rendezvous at the ranger station and access the secret elevator in the back. [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]] remotely activates the lift, allowing Twitch to pose as a pizza-delivery drone and distract the G.H.O.S.T. agent down below so the others can sneak in. Meanwhile Bumblebee finds himself in a corridor laced with laser tripwires and uses the Smart Trainer to deactivate them. Unfortunately this involves smashing the control panel which also leaves Bumblebee unable to open the door at the other end.

[[Jon Schloder|Agent Schloder]], conferring on the phone regarding the pizza he supposedly delivered, literally bumps into the Malto quartet as they sneak around the base and though Nightshade immediate restrains him, he's able to trigger the base-wide alarm on his phone. Turrets start pelting the group with fire until they manage to convince Schloder to shut the alert off. Elsewhere Optimus delays Croft from investigating the alert shortly before it goes silent. Schloder's enthusiastic that Bumblebee's around as he's been trying to recruit the scout for G.H.O.S.T. for ages, and he joins the group in attempting to find Bee.

Bumblebee finally opens the door and discovers what G.H.O.S.T.'s been hiding from them — the salvaged [[space bridge]]. Croft finds him inspecting the device and sics a G.H.O.S.T. agent on him. To Bee's surprise the agent displays superhuman abilities and is more than a match for him. Meanwhile Megatron has realized Prime is up to something and insists they take more direct action, but Optimus has confidence whatever Bee uncovers by stealth will help them. During the fight, that she never cared about promoting peace between Humans and Cybertronians, and simply used G.H.O.S.T. as a means to gather resources so she could conquer Cybertron as payback for the damage its inhabitants have done. Bumblebee knocks the agent's helmet off, revealing it to be an artificial construct. Croft calls in more of the "[[Ghoid]]s" to finish him off. Scholder and the Maltos find the Smart Trainer and hurry their efforts to find Bumblebee. They succeed, finding Croft about to deactivate Bee, and join the fight against the Ghoids. Schloder tries to unsuccessfully to convince his sister to stop, pointing out that the Ghoids are even targeting a child, his sister coldly responds that she will make Cybertronians and their sympathizers suffer. This prompts Schloder to instead activate the space bridge as an escape route with Bumblebee's help. Though both Bee and Schloder are captured by the Ghoids, Nightshade, Robby, Twitch and Twitch manage to make it through the portal and end up outside. They're just trying to work out where they are when a new figure looms over them — [[Shockwave (ES)|Shockwave]]!

Why is it that we still are not considering ''Legacy: Evolution'' Laser Cycle to be a separate character? "G2 Universe Laser Cycle" was released with its own name side-by-side with "Jazz Universe Jazz". That says to me Hasbro considers them to be different in contrast to ''Siege'' "Optimus Prime" and "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" who are the same. Hasbro did not name this toy "Cycle Jazz" or "Jazz Cycle Mode" or whatnot just as Cloudcover was not called "G2 Universe Ramjet" when it would have been easy for Hasbro not to assign Cloudcover a new-character trademark.

::I think we should just treat them like a combination those Classic Heroes Team chars (who were both G1 and Aligned) and Shadowstrip-give Laser Cycle its own page but leave it on Jazz's page due to the shared connection. And then put a footnote like with the Magnaboss components about how they could be the same or whatnot, but to be safe we gave them separate pages. Do the same with Silverstreak.[[User:Poliwag06|Poliwag06]] ([[User talk:Poliwag06|talk]]) 22:22, 15 August 2023 (EDT)

::::That’s how I read it. And it’s annoying that this toy is buried here instead of being at the logical spot based on nothing more than ambiguous designer notes. There’s more supporting IDW “Silverstreak” being a different guy than this. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:01, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

::::::::So are we weighing (disputed) implied designer intent over formal corporate sources? [[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 12:07, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
:::::::::Well, I mean, the official copy claims he's "inspired by the animated series", which he bluntly ''isn't''; he's inspired by the Diaclone toy, and never appeared in anything like this deco in the cartoon. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:37, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
::::::::::With this talk of "officialness" I do think it is worth keeping in mind that these Hasbro designer Instagram accounts are pretty transparently a polished marketing-managed PR initiative as opposed to, say, Hasbro employees firing off on their personal Twitter accounts after hours or something. The accounts aren't used for anything else. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 14:10, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
:I provided citations for all the sources I was working with beyond the ready availability of the "Bluestreak" trademark when I made the page, so do what you will with the evidence from there I suppose. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 15:35, 2 August 2023 (EDT)
:Another vote against this page. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 06:11, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
:Medix is *also* described as "inspired by The Transformers animated series", so I'm willing to wager it's copypasta based on "G1 Universe" being what the website would use. It's funny to report it as if it were true, but it should not be the deciding factor. After all, Shadowstrip is excellent precedent for a guy whose toy is simply on two pages from the getgo.

:: Yeah, I was gonna say — with Shadowstrip, we have precedent for "this design team considers "new name for unusual deco of existing character" to mean a new character", which fits with Mark's designer notes. (This is ''also'' why I think "Laser Cycle" should be on a new page as well as on Jazz's page, but I can at least see that there's other mitigating factors there.) --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 14:10, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
::: Shadowstrip and Laser Cycle do not have the precedent of being an established, frequently used alternate name and look of an existing character with no full bio to contradict him not just being that guy again like this one. This feels very much like reading too much into that design commentary and the designers speaking on different terms than the wiki. [[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 20:46, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
::::That. Shadowstrip at least got some measure of a personality and the designer spelling out that it could be G2 Drag Strip or another guy. (And we're not giving Laser Cycle a page till it's actually been established to be a new character.) This guy is a nobody where the only content of his page outside the toy writeup and deco origin is jokes. (You could make up a Frankenstein page with this toy and IDW Silverstreak, I guess, but I doubt anybody here cares enough to do that.) [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 22:35, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
:::::Went ahead and added a deletion tag to this page. If Laser Cycle, a previously unreleased deco with a technically new name and an equal amount of character info, is (sensibly) being treated as just a new form of Jazz, there's absolutely no reason this guy should stand alone. --[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 11:27, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
::::::Now hold on, I acknowledge deletion of this page is a pretty foregone conclusion at this point but leveraging the fiddly and somewhat-up-in-the-air case of Laser Cycle as precedent going forward strikes me as going a bit far. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 15:13, 15 August 2023 (EDT)

Got to be honest here: the burden of proof that we apparently require to split out a new character page is ''insane''. If I understand correctly, the entire argument against having this page rests on "Well, maybe Mark didn't mean "character" when he said character". Which, sure, is entirely possible - corporate language isn't always the same as Normal People language - but ''surely'' the most straightforward explanation is that Mark meant what he said, no? If there's reasonable doubt, why is the default to squirrel this away in the depths of Bluestreak's toy page?
If we're to take a previous toy as precedent, I feel like Shadowstrip is a closer point of comparison than Laser Cycle, because Silverstreak didn't come out in the same wave as a Bluestreak toy. Is there an actual reason that mirroring the toy writeup on both pages is unacceptable? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 17:20, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
:: I agree, I think this is a Shadowstrip situation where we can comfortably keep the toy on both pages with a note explaining the situation. [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 17:23, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
:::Seems reasonable to me. Apologies if I was a bit overzealous in not leaving it in both places to start with. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 17:30, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
::::I also vote for keeping it. - [[User:DannyBoy|DannyBoy]] ([[User talk:DannyBoy|talk]]) 19:55, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
::I didn't have time to reply when this topic was first broached, but yeah, I find it wild that people are against this page—speaking as someone who is generally ''for'' page merges! Everything Mark said indicated to me that this was intended as a new character. Yeah, it uses a color scheme Bluestreak has used in the past, and it uses a ''name'' originally invented for Bluestreak... but those two things taken together, this guy isn't called Bluestreak and doesn't look like Bluestreak. It's obvious that Mark thought it would be funny to have the blue one be "Silverstreak" and the silver one be "Bluestreak", and it ''is'' funny, and surely it can't be that the TFWiki of all websites would be so unfunny as to act like this isn't the explicitly-stated idea behind the release. If the toy's on both pages, what's the problem with having this fun extra one? —[[User:The Wadapan|The Wadapan]] ([[User talk:The Wadapan|talk]]) 17:43, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
:::How is it "squirreling away" anything? The only thing you can say about this toy that isn't a joke is that "Mark ambiguously said it's a 'character'". People who don't pore over every single Instagram comment will take this as what it appears as: a toy of Bluestreak. And look it up accordingly. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 19:32, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
::::People who don't pore over every single Instagram comment will probably look up "Silverstreak" since that's what's written on the package. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 19:49, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
:::::And they'll end up on Bluestreak because that's what [[Silverstreak]] points to. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 19:56, 15 August 2023 (EDT)
::::::I have to agree with Saix, i mean Silverstreask is LITERALLY apart of Bluestreak bio.--[[User:Pizza-king1|Pizza-king1]] ([[User talk:Pizza-king1|talk]]) 21:47, 15 August 2023 (EDT)

The '''Emberstone''' is the artifact of [[Quintus Prime]]. It has the ability to seed the explosion of living processes in base elements, akin to [[Primus]]'s own spark.

==Fiction==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===
The life-giving powers of the Emberstone worked into the [[Thirteen]]'s plan to attack [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s spark was uniquely akin to that of [[Primus]], and therefore an anathema to Unicron. During the mission, [[Vector Prime]] teleported Optimus into Unicron's spark chamber, causing both beings to shut down as they rejected each other. The [[Liege Maximo]] and Vector arranged a time-loop that would preserve Unicron in this state of hibernation perpetually, and Quintus Prime's Emberstone was used to restore Optimus.

After the war, Quintus made an alliance with Maximo and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], using the Emberstone to create new, smaller Cybertronian lifeforms. These beasts ultimately proved to be a major catalyst in the downfall of the Thirteen.

When the Era of Primes came to a close, Quintus Prime left Cybertron, intending to use the Emberstone to seed new worlds with life, creating cousins for the new Cybertronians that would emerge from the [[Well of All Sparks]]. It would later be used to create the [[Quintesson]]s. {{Storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

===''EarthSpark'' cartoon===
The "gift" of Quintus Prime, after helping establish Cybertron's culture, Quintus left his homeworld, using the Emberstone to seed life on planets across the universe. The Emberstone eventually wound up on [[Earth]] beneath the land that would one day become [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]], [[Pennsylvania]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

In the modern era, after the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s had come to Earth, the [[human]] siblings [[Robby Malto|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto]] fell into the Emberstone's cave. After knocking it off its pedestal, the siblings replaced the Emberstone, causing it to activate, creating [[Twitch]] and [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] from a pool of water and bestowing [[cyber-sleeve]]s upon the humans to guide the newborn [[Terran]]s. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

When [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]] was informed how the Terrans had come into being, he recognized the Emberstone's powers from legend, having the Terrans and Maltos retrieve it for him. After he explained its capabilities, the relic was teleported out his hand by [[Skywarp (ES)|Skywarp]]. Twitch recovered it, and Optimus ordered the Maltos to retreat and protect it. Falling back to the cave, the family, outnumbered by [[Arachnamech]]s, appealed to Quintus for aid. Heeding their call, the Emberstone created [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] before [[Nova Storm (ES)|Nova Storm]]'s [[missile]] barrage caused a cave-in. In the subsequent chaos, Mo lost her hold on the Emberstone, sending it flying into the pool. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

Sometime after this, G.H.O.S.T. was able to retrieve the Emberstone, with [[Karen Croft|Croft]] personally delivering the artifact to [[Mandroid]] hands. Shortly after she leaves, he installs it in equipment attached to his chest, which promptly teleports him to Quintus Prime ship. Sensing Mandroid having the stone, Quintus (who was showing Mo a 'What if' scenario) promptly teleported both her and her family to his ship in a attempt to stop Mandroid. Mandroid, eager to end the Maltos, uses his new Emberstone-derived power to speed the ship up so it would crash-land on earth. While the two parents attempt to steer the ship, Mo confronts Mandroid and to his surprise, blocks his first blow with her cyber-sleeve. Quintus's power leaps from the Emberstone, empowering the sleeve and allowing her to manifest an energon sword which she uses to fight him. He's eventually able to get the upper hand, shattering the sword, at which point Robby attempts to defend his sister, only for Mandroid to fire a blaster at him and time abruptly stops. Mo walks up to Mandroid and, announcing that he's not worthy, levers the Emberstone from his chest with her reconstituted sword. Quintus teleports the family away, but not before thanking them for the help and digitizing the Emberstone, storing it in the siblings cybersleeves.{{storylink|Prime Time (episode)|Prime Time}}

'''With Robby's sickness worsening, Mo wishes she had never touched the [[Emberstone]]...and her wish is granted. .'''

==Synopsis==
[[Mo Malto]] pursues [[Robby Malto|Robby]] as the pair bicycle down a road, pulling to a stop in the middle of a bridge. She tries to talk to her brother but pauses as she sees his [[cyber-sleeve]] and then he turns and silently screams. Mo abruptly wakes up from the nightmare and goes to check on her still-sleeping brother, finding that the infection that has been spreading through his body has progressed. He's later hooked up to a monitoring bed in the [[Dugout]] with the family gathered around, though [[Dot Malto|Dot]] tells them Robby needs rest. While Mo doesn't leave Robby's side, Dot and [[Alex Malto|Alex]] consult with [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]], the latter of whom believes the [[Emberstone]] might be able to help the boy. As Alex points out, the Emberstone was lost. The two parents reassure the kids that they'll help Robby get better, but Mo, furious as what she sees as an unkeepable promise, yells at them and runs off. [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] gives chase.

Running through the woods, Mo trips on a branch and spots that her cyber-sleeve seems to be faintly activating. Her cries to [[Quintus Prime]] go unanswered and she loudly wishes she'd never touched the Emberstone, only to realize she's been overheard by Thrash, who sadly drives away. [[Mandroid]] is working in his lab when [[Karen Croft|Croft]] arrives with a crate carrying the Emberstone. As he grabs the artifact, elsewhere Mo's cyber-sleeve starts glowing, and as he installs it in equipment attached to his chest, Mo's cyber-sleeve explodes with light and she passes out. Finding herself in the cave with the Emberstone, she thanks Quintus until her hand passes straight through the artifact. All becomes clear when she sees herself and Robby enter the cave in a replay of events from when they originally found the Emberstone, however this time past-Mo doesn't touch it and only Robby receives as cyber-sleeve. Startled, present-Mo falls into the water and finds herself witnessing a later event where she's talking to Thrash. She observes her past self has no cyber-sleeve, and when past-Thrash asks past-Mo to help him find [[Swindle (ES)|Swindle]], past-Mo refuses. Present-Mo then finds herself at the later fight with Swindle, but this time [[G.H.O.S.T.]] turn up and capture both Swindle and Thrash.

Mo again finds herself shifted in time, now reliving the event where the family was taking shelter from Mandroid's [[Arachnamech]]s in the Emberstone cave. Without Thrash's help, [[Twitch]] is quickly overwhelmed by the mechs, and the Emberstone is knocked into the water by a stray blast, preventing [[Hashtag (ES)|Hashtag]], [[Jawbreaker (ES)|Jawbreaker]] and [[Nightshade (ES)|Nightshade]] from being born. As the cave collapses, Mo again falls into the water and finds herself watching the simulation of Megatron fighting the powered-up Robby. Megatron is able to overcome Robby, shattering the crystal in his cyber-sleeve and, without a cyber-sleeve, past-Mo is unable to bring Robby back to live. As present-Mo pleads for Quintus to stop, the illusion fades to show an abstract green location. The real Dot and Alex arrive with Robby, non-the-wiser as to where they are or what's happening. Mo tells them what she's been experiencing, and Robby weakly reassures her she was always there for her family in reality. Then everything shatters, dumping the family onto the bridge of a starship which Alex recognizes as Quintus Prime's. Mo again makes an appeal to the Prime, leading to a figure appearing in a blaze of light, however rather than the anticipated Quintus, it's instead Mandroid.

Alex immediately recognizes his old university colleague, Dr Meridian. Dot observes that the ship is on a crash course for Earth, and Mandroid, eager to end the Maltos, uses his new Emberstone-derived power to speed the ship up. While the two parents attempt to steer the ship, Mo confronts Mandroid and to his surprise, blocks his first blow with her cyber-sleeve. Quintus's power leaps from the Emberstone, empowering the sleeve and allowing her to manifest an energon sword which she uses to fight him. He's eventually able to get the upper hand, shattering the sword, at which point Robby attempts to defend his sister, only for Mandroid to fire a blaster at him and time abruptly stops. Mo walks up to Mandroid and, announcing that he's not worthy, levers the Emberstone from his chest with her reconstituted sword.

The Maltos find themselves back in the abstract landscape with Quintus himself towering over them. Quintus thanks Mo for answering his call and warns her of the trials yet to come. Once Mo puts her hand on Robby's cyber-sleeve, it again glows with power, and the family finally wake up to find themselves in the Dugout with the Terrans waiting anxiously for them to recover. Robby is again in full health, and Mo apologizes for wishing she hadn't touched the Emberstone.

==Quotes==
"Maybe he ''is'' listening. Mr Quintus Prime? It's me, Morgan Violet Malto. Please, I saw what it was like if I never touched the Emberstone. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and help my family."
:—'''Mo''' makes an appeal to a Prime.

"Prime power isn't something you can steal. It's given, and it's always with you, but you have to be worthy. And you are ''not'' worthy."
:—'''Mo''' confiscates the Emberstone from Mandroid.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* This episode features several altered flashbacks to events from earlier episodes, including "[[Secret Legacy, Part 1]]", "[[House Rules]]", "[[Age of Evolution, Part 1]]", and "[[Disarmed]]".
* The Emberstone was last seen in "[[Age of Evolution, Part 2]]", during which it fell into the water before the cave collapsed. It's not clear how Mandroid or G.H.O.S.T. determined its location, but considering he had several Arachnamechs there at the time, Mandroid may have been able to retrieve its location from their databanks.
* This episode finally explains the connection between Alex and Mandroid, which was previously teased in "[[Traditions]]", "[[Age of Evolution, Part 1]]" and "[[Age of Evolution, Part 2]]".
* Quintus Prime, whose disembodied voice was previously heard in "Secret Legacy, Part 1" and "Age of Evolution, Part 1", makes his first physical appearance.

===Transformers references===
* The symbol of Quintus Prime can be seen on the wall of his ship, which allowed Alex to quickly identify who owns it.

===Real-world references===
* A picture of a young [[Dwayne Johnson]] can be seen in Mo's room.

"Maybe he ''is'' listening. Mr Quintus Prime? It's me, Morgan Violet Malto. Please, I saw what it was like if I never touched the Emberstone. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and help my family."
:—'''Mo''' makes an appeal to a Prime.

"Prime power isn't something you can steal. It's given, and it's always with you, but you have to be worthy. And you are ''not'' worthy."

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* This episode features several altered flashbacks to events from earlier episodes, including "[[Secret Legacy, Part 1]]", "[[House Rules]]", "[[Age of Evolution, Part 1]]", and "[[Disarmed]]".
* The Emberstone was last seen in "[[Age of Evolution, Part 2]]", during which it fell into the water before the cave collapsed. It's not clear how Mandroid or G.H.O.S.T. determined its location, but considering he had several Arachnamechs there at the time, Mandroid may have been able to retrieve its location from their databanks.
* This episode finally explains the connection between Alex and Mandroid, which was previously teased in "[[Traditions]]", "[[Age of Evolution, Part 1]]" and "[[Age of Evolution, Part 2]]".
* Quintus Prime, whose disembodied voice was previously heard in "Secret Legacy, Part 1" and "Age of Evolution, Part 1", makes his first physical appearance.

===Transformers references===
* The symbol of Quintus Prime can be seen onthe wall of his ship, which allowed Alex to quickly identify who owns it.

===Real-world references===
* A picture of a young [[Dwayne Johnson]] can be seen in Mo's room.

:''Misha Miramond is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy continuity family]].''

[[File:Misha DVD.jpg|250px|thumb|You can call me whatever you want, baby.]]

'''Misha Miramond''' is a brilliant young researcher specializing in possible applications of the potent resource known as [[energon]]. However, she is troubled by the fact that her research is used by her fellow human scientists and their [[Autobot]] allies to construct weapons.

She is in a relationship with [[Kicker Jones]], son of [[Brian Jones|Dr. Brian Jones]], the foremost expert on energon. Her research often has her living a long way away from Kicker, which causes some strain on their relationship at times.

She is sometimes known as '''Mika'''. And then '''Misha''' again. And then '''Micha'''. And then '''Misha''' again the week after that.

Her deceased parents are [[Pierre Miramond|Pierre]] and [[Olie Miramond]].

[[File:Misha HotShot.jpg|left|200px|thumb|That Kicker is such a mean doody-head.]]

Misha Miramond had a strong relationship with her parents as a child, but they both died when she was young. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} After that, she turned to Doctor Brian Jones as a mentor, and somewhat of a surrogate father figure. She grew very close to his son, Kicker, who was her own age.

When the [[Alpha Quintesson]] and [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] unleashed their attacks upon the Energon mining facilities of Earth, Misha was stationed at the research center in [[Plains City]]. Although Optimus Prime ordered an evacuation of the human personnel at the different mining colonies for their own protection, Misha remained behind with a research crew at Desert City. {{storylink|Energon Stars}} This strongly concerned her friend Kicker, who wished she had evacuated with the others. [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] was transferred to command the garrison stationed at Desert City in anticipation of an attack, and Misha confided in him about Kicker, and wished he wouldn't worry so about her. Later, she and another scientist were trapped when the Terrorcon forces stormed through the mines and defeated the Autobot defenders. Kicker and the Autobots from Ocean City staged a daring rescue where Kicker, [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]] and [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] fought their way through the mines to rescue Misha and the scientist, while [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] kept the treacherous [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] busy. {{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}}

Misha considered [[Brian Jones|Doctor Jones]] to be a mentor to her, and embraced his beliefs that energon should only be used for peaceful purposes. As a result, she was very reluctant to begin using energon to power the gun embankments the Autobots were installing at all research stations to defend against Terrorcon attack. Still, she did her duty and manned the controls in defense of the energon mining operations. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} Misha later arrived at Ocean City for the conference where Doctor Jones proposed his [[energon tower]]s plan. She consoled Kicker after he felt he let the Autobots down during a mission, and reminded him that even Optimus Prime had been a rookie at one point. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}} As Doctor Jones returned full-time to Ocean City and Earth, Misha did her best to stay out of the drama between Kicker and his father. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}}

Sometime later, Misha and Kicker spent the day together at [[Jungle City]] going out to their favorite spot as kids, the Mayan temple steps. As they were catching up, however, Kicker detected Terrorcons making their way towards the energon mines. Misha was evacuated with the rest of the civilians before the battle began, but first she asked Optimus to try and spare the Mayan ruins in the conflict, because they were very special to her and Kicker. Optimus did his best, but Jungle City fell under siege by both [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]]'s Terrorcon forces, and the entire installation needed to be sacrificed. Misha sadly told Optimus that she understood when she heard of the sacrifice, because in the end lives were more important than memories. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

When Kicker confronted Demolishor and the Terrorcons on the moon, Misha watched him from Earth, confident that Kicker knew what he was doing. After he returned to Ocean City, they talked about his strange conversation with the creature known as Alpha Q. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} After Megatron launched a series of artificial comets at Earth, Misha and Kicker rushed to [[Desert City]] to get the last of the energon towers online, bringing up a planetary force grid that shielded the Earth completely from attack. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)|Energon Grid}} With the energon grid active and Earth safe for the moment, the Autobots began preparing for further missions out in space to prevent the rise of Unicron. Misha noticed how troubled Kicker was by this, and asked Ironhide to look after him. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}}

[[File:Misha.jpg|200px|thumb|Scientists make great office ladies!]]

Later, Misha was made a member of Optimus Prime's unit, and was given a skin-tight yellow spacesuit of her own (which left her hair flowing free down her back, even in the airless vacuum of space, which didn't seem to have any ill effect), similar to Kicker's. Within the unit she acted as an energon systems specialist for the ''[[Miranda II]]''. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Her secondary function aboard the crew searching for Unicron appeared to be routinely calling Kicker on his self-important angst and martyr complex. The ''Miranda II'' stopped by an icy planet which Kicker sensed was plentiful in energon. Unfortunately, the ship was caught between two pillars of ice, forcing the crew to split into two groups; one staying behind to take care of the ship, the other scouting the landscape for energon. Once the ship was freed, Misha piloted it towards the away team, who had since come under fire from the Decepticons. Though they were forced to leave the energon behind in enemy hands, the ''Miranda II''{{'}}s crew all made it off the planet safely. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}}

As the Autobots approached Unicron, Misha maintained their energon defenses in combat situations for the first time. She released a stockpile of raw energon ore into space, letting Kicker and Inferno attract and destroy an attacking squadron of Divebomb drones. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} She later monitored the energon field emitters as Optimus sent the ''Miranda II'' on a daredevil run through the insides of Unicron. When Kicker tried to go off on his own to rescue the missing Ironhide, however, Misha showed herself to be just as stubborn as he was by following him out into space. They were confronted by Rodimus, who brought the human duo to meet Alpha Q. {{storylink|Battle Stations}} Misha watched the debate between Kicker and Alpha Q inside Unicron's head, as Kicker tried to convince Alpha Q to step up and do the right thing for his planet and for the Autobots. Although it initially appeared as if Kicker failed, as they were departing Misha and Kicker realized Alpha Q heard them, and was moving Unicron's head to enter the fight on their side. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} While Kicker and Misha waited for Unicron's head to reach Cybertron, they went "off-roading" on the surface inside Ironhide, although Misha didn't appreciate the ride as much as Kicker. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}

[[File:Energon-Misha-Hugs-Kicker.jpg|250px|thumb|left]]

When Unicron started going nuts in the middle of the peace talks, Optimus made a point of getting Misha to safety aboard the ''Miranda II''. When he tried to take her all the way back to Cybertron, however, Misha insisted she remain behind to keep watch over Kicker. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} Aboard Unicron's head, Misha made an attempt to reach out to Alpha Q. He had withdrawn into himself after helping end Unicron's rampage, and Kicker was getting angry at the silent treatment. Alpha Q tried to deter Misha with [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon]]s, but she ignored his attempts to scare her and approached the creature directly. Misha calmly empathized with Alpha Q's loneliness, and convinced him they were all doing the same thing...fighting for their planets. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} Misha also helped mediate another dispute between Kicker and his father, convincing the boy to swallow his pride and ask for help, getting the energon Cybertron needed for its defense from Earth. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}}

Misha and Kicker continued to coordinate from the ''Miranda II'' while Optimus and the Autobots fought their way inside Megatron's Unicron. They helped to direct the supply of energon from Earth directly to Alpha Q, giving him the energy he needed to claim Unicron's power and revive his planets. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Alpha Q's now positively charged head of Unicron was in danger of eruption so close to Megatron's negatively charged body, and so Kicker and Misha tried to coax Alpha Q into fleeing. Alpha Q sensed Scorponok was in trouble, however, and delayed long enough for the two charged portions of Unicron to explode off of each other, tearing a hole through space. As most of their comrades fell through the rift, either accidentally or in search of Megatron, Kicker and Misha vowed to follow them through to the other side. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}} They traveled through the rift in the ''Miranda II'', and eventually emerged from the other side. {{storylink|Team Optimus Prime}} Misha and the crew rendezvoused with Optimus Prime and his allies when they made it through, and found a new solar system populated by Alpha Q's new energon-enriched planets. {{storylink|Protection}}

Misha brought the ''Miranda II'' to [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], one of the many new worlds Alpha Q was vitalizing through the energon sun. It had a purified, Earth-like atmosphere and was very nearly a paradise. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} Unfortunately, the Decepticons soon located the world and began bombarding the Autobots from space. Misha coordinated some of the response efforts from aboard the ''Miranda II''. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} She and Kicker shared a moment at sunset once the energon tower from Cybertron was set up to defend Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}} In Dr. Jones' absence, Misha set up the energon grid between Jungle, [[Rock Planet|Rock]], [[Blizzard Planet|Blizzard]], and [[Ocean Planet]]s, securing Alpha Q's new worlds against Decepticon incursions. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}

[[File:E33 mishakamenrider.jpg|200px|thumb|The people of Confetti City are really enthusiast about the Autobot Grand Prix.]]
''Misha located the new Planet Q on scanners when Alpha Q began feeding vast amounts of energon into it to recreate his world. The Autobots were dispatched to prevent the Decepticons from gathering the energon growing there. {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}''

Misha tried to comfort Kicker once he began twitching after receiving a message from his father on Cybertron. Paying her efforts little mind, Kicker ran off with Jetfire to watch the [[Autobot Grand Prix]], leaving Misha behind. Irritated at having been kept out of the loop about the upcoming race, Misha and [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] entered late (with Misha in disguise) and won it while front runners Hot Shot and Ironhide were preoccupied with their manly manliness. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

Misha operated aboard the ''Miranda II'' with Kicker and Arcee during the big confrontation with Unicron. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} They brought the energon grid on line in a vain attempt to prevent Unicron from reclaiming his head from Alpha Q's [[Energon Orb]]. Alpha Q sent them to a new world he had cultivated, [[Plains Planet|Grass Planet]], which he had designed specifically to represent the fields Kicker and Misha remembered playing in as children. It was his final gift to them before Megatron and Unicron tore through the Energon Orb. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}}

Returning to the battleground with Unicron, Misha and the ''Miranda II'' waited outside of Unicron while Kicker recovered Alpha Q's body from within. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Kicker and Misha lay Alpha Q to rest on Grass Planet, burying him underneath a simple headstone before returning to the fight. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Aboard the ''Miranda II'', Arcee and Misha coordinated the Omnicons on Alpha Q's remaining worlds. They brought together the energon towers for an offensive strike against Unicron. Along with the power of Primus, and the teamwork of the Optimus Supreme combination, Unicron was ultimately destroyed, his essence scattered throughout space. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

With the Energon Orb gone, Alpha Q's planets no longer had a sun to urge on their development. When Megatron and the Decepticons returned to strike at Cybertron, Misha and Roadblock remained behind on Ocean Planet to look after the worlds. {{storylink|Ambition}} Without a life-giving sun, Alpha Q's planets began to wilt and die out. Misha was investigating the deterioration of Grass Planet when Roadblock called her back to Ocean Planet. The Decepticon controlled Cybertron was exiting the warp gate with the intent of destroying the remaining planets. {{storylink|Formidable}}

As Galvatron infused himself with Super Energon and achieved gigantic size, he launched himself out into space. The Autobots initially believed he was going after Alpha Q's planets, but Misha's calculations indicated he was heading somewhere else entirely. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}

A fragment of Unicron's essence still existed in space. It was what called to Galvatron, and Kicker sensed it too. While Optimus kept Galvatron busy in epic battle on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Kicker prepared to go after Unicron on his own. Misha called in from Ocean Planet and begged him not to be so reckless anymore. Kicker was kind but firm, and told Misha this was something he had to do, no matter what. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

Once Galvatron reached the orb of Unicron's essence and merged with it, Primus sent out a massive ball of Super Energon which consumed Galvatron and Unicron. It also served as a new sun for Alpha Q's planets. Misha and Sally went out onto the deck at Ocean Planet to bask in the sunlight as it revitalized their worlds. {{storylink|The Sun}}

==Notes==
*As referred to above, early in the ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'' cartoon's run, Misha was frequently called Mika, with both names being used interchangeably (and sometimes both within the same episode), until the series eventually settled upon 'Misha'.
*When Misha is referred to as 'Mika', the voice actors also often switch between two different pronunciations of the name—'My-kuh' and 'Mee-ka'. For ease of reference, the second pronunciation is rendered separately as 'Meeka' in the episode synopses. As to why this confusion exist in the first place, Misha is Russian name short for Mikhail. That may explain why the dubbing team had trouble settling on either Misha or Mika.

Returning to the battleground with Unicron, Misha and the ''Miranda II'' waited outside of Unicron while Kicker recovered Alpha Q's body from within. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Kicker and Misha lay Alpha Q to rest on Grass Planet, burying him underneath a simple headstone before returning to the fight. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Aboard the ''Miranda II'', Arcee and Misha coordinated the Omnicons on Alpha Q's remaining worlds. They brought together the energon towers for an offensive strike against Unicron. Along with the power of Primus, and the teamwork of the Optimus Supreme combination, Unicron was ultimately destroyed, his essence scattered throughout space. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

With the Energon Orb gone, Alpha Q's planets no longer had a sun to urge on their development. When Megatron and the Decepticons returned to strike at Cybertron, Misha and Roadblock remained behind on Ocean Planet to look after the worlds. {{storylink|Ambition}} Without a life-giving sun, Alpha Q's planets began to wilt and die out. Misha was investigating the deterioration of Grass Planet when Roadblock called her back to Ocean Planet. The Decepticon controlled Cybertron was exiting the warp gate with the intent of destroying the remaining planets. {{storylink|Formidable}}

As Galvatron infused himself with Super Energon and achieved gigantic size, he launched himself out into space. The Autobots initially believed he was going after Alpha Q's planets, but Misha's calculations indicated he was heading somewhere else entirely. {{storylink|Destructive Power}}

A fragment of Unicron's essence still existed in space. It was what called to Galvatron, and Kicker sensed it too. While Optimus kept Galvatron busy in epic battle on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Kicker prepared to go after Unicron on his own. Misha called in from Ocean Planet and begged him not to be so reckless anymore. Kicker was kind but firm, and told Misha this was something he had to do, no matter what. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

Once Galvatron reached the orb of Unicron's essence and merged with it, Primus sent out a massive ball of Super Energon which consumed Galvatron and Unicron. It also served as a new sun for Alpha Q's planets. Misha and Sally went out onto the deck at Ocean Planet to bask in the sunlight as it revitalized their worlds. {{storylink|The Sun}}

==Notes==
*As referred to above, early in the ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'' cartoon's run, Misha was frequently called Mika, with both names being used interchangeably (and sometimes both within the same episode), until the series eventually settled upon 'Misha'.
*When Misha is referred to as 'Mika', the voice actors also often switch between two different pronunciations of the name—'My-kuh' and 'Mee-ka'. For ease of reference, the second pronunciation is rendered separately as 'Meeka' in the episode synopses. As to why this confusion in the first place, Misha is Russian name short for Mikhail. That may explain why the dubbing team had trouble settling on either Misha or Mika.
*While wearing her space suit Misha's hair flows beautifully in the wind...In the vacuum of space where there is no wind
