	*Despite the big reveal about Planet X and Sideways and Soundwave's past, the repetitive nonsensical battles (did we really need a ''power struggle'' battle between Scourge, Snarl, and Leobreaker, or a ''super-moded'' Optimus Prime to deal with the ''comic relief''....TWICE?) plus excessive stock footage unfortunately give this episode the ignominious scent of filler.

	On [[Earth]], [[Mike Franklin\|Colonel Franklin]] and [[Lucy Suzuki]] watch as [[Primus]] fires his main cannons in another attempt to stall the expansion of the [[Unicron Singularity\|black hole]], which continues to grow more and more powerful. Watching the expansion of the singularity through the ever-growing [[space bridge]] portal in the sky over Earth, [[Crosswise (Cybertron)\|Crosswise]] and [[Mudflap (Cybertron)\|Mudflap]] remark on the situation as well, and worry about the [[~~Animatron~~\|Jungle Planet]], which seems to be suffering the worst effects of all the colony worlds. ''On'' Jungle Planet, [[Brimstone (Cybertron)\|Brimstone]] is struck by lightning and plummets from the sky, but is saved by [[Backstop (Cybertron)\|Backstop]], while across the galaxy, on [[Gigantion]], Snarl senses the pain of his homeworld and howls into the (artificial) night sky. Leobreaker wonders why he can't feel the same connection, and Snarl assures him he should be glad he can't with what's going on now.

	Elsewhere on the Giant Planet, [[Ransack (Cybertron)\|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)\|Crumplezone]] come out of hiding in a rubble-strewn room, feeling particularly down-hearted after their recent string of all-too-humiliating defeats at the hands of [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]].

Again. Optimus transforms to super mode and uses his Cyber-Key-enhanced blasters to send the pair flying off. Again.

	*When Soundwave is disguised as Hot Shot to trick Scattershot, his true voice can still be heard over Hot Shot's. It is possible, however, that this oddity is intended for the audience's benefit alone (so they can see which Hot Shot is the fake) and that Soundwave's impersonation is actually as flawless as ever.

Hot Shot and Scattorshot are then separated again, and Soundwave plagues both of them individually: first, he adopts the voices of different Autobots and attacks Hot Shot's confidence, then, he disguises himself as Hot Shot and tries to get Scattorshot to take his hand. At the same time, however, the real Hot Shot appears, so Scattorshot tricks Soundwave by asking the Hot Shots if they remembered an event that in reality never happened. Scattorshot fires on the fake, nailing Laserbeak and dissipating the smoke, and a second volley takes down Soundwave. That leaves the small army of Sideways clones, but Scattorshot brazenly declares he can see right through them-prompting the real Sideways to start in surprise and blow his cover.
