With that, on [[Windy (G1)\|Windy]]'s count all three teams of train 'bots combined into the [[Trainbot Omni-Car Joint]] to chain the Fallen, giving Shouki and company time to vanquish the cosmic evil by funneling Metroplex's power through Shouki's new "Raiden" cannon mode. {{storylink\|Train Wars 2}}
