	With the Autobots in disarray following the loss of Victory Saber, Violengiguar charges his generals with obtaining the Autobots' new energy source [[Energon Z]], and the [[Zodiac]], the enigmatic energy force responsible for the creation of the universe, which he intends to fuse together to create the super-energy that will fuel his dreams of conquest.

	Meanwhile, Cain and his pet [[Emusa]] are brought to [[Micro\|Planet Zone]], the fortified defense base of the Autobot [[Micromaster]]s, where [[Moonradar (G1)\|Moonradar]] and [[Rabbicrater]] give him the lowdown on its history. Zone was created by the [[Powered Master]]s, early Transformer pioneers of space, and the [[Zone Base]] is powered by Energon Z—which makes the planet the next target for the Demon Generals. Overlord, Menasor, Bruticus, and Abominus attack the planet and steal the Energon Z, escaping into space as Moonradar leads the [[Super Car Patrol Team]] and the [[Battle Patrol Team]] in pursuit. Their way is barred by BlackZarak, who impedes their progress with an energy net. The [[Jet Patrol Team]] free their companions, and [[Sunrunner (Zone)\|Sunrunner]] tracks the Generals with his radar, discovering that the capsule of Energon Z has been handed off to the other half of the group, who are on their way to Earth.

	Back on Zone, as the [[Rescue Patrol Team]] cleans up, the Powered Masters [[Dai Atlas (G1)\|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber]] return from their search for Victory Saber, bringing the wounded commander back safely. The two Powered Masters immediately set out for Earth, where Devastator, King Poseidon, Trypticon and Predaking are already wreaking havoc.

Cain as the Micromasters do the best they can to hold off the Generals. In the nick of time, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrive, and the battle goes underground as Devastator and Dai Atlas race to find the Zodiac, buried in a cavern beneath the Earth's surface. As Devastator is dispatched by a river of lava, King Poseidon attempts to escape with the Zodiac, but is stopped by Sonic Bomber, and tosses it to his fellow Generals. Dai Atlas is able to snatch it from their grasp, but the enraged Trypticon then unleashes a beam of Energon Z from the capsule directly at him. Sonic Bomber valiantly takes the hit for Dai Atlas and is nearly killed by the beam, but Trypticon simply fires off another shot. In desperation, Dai Atlas holds aloft the Zodiac and petitions it for help, and as the Energon Z washes over it, its power is unleashed. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber are transformed into "Zone Modes", heavily armed base forms that dispense with King Poseidon and Trypticon. Attempting to flee, Predaking is stopped by the Zone Mode Attack and the Zodiac is retrieved.

	*Storywise, one of the primary differences between the manga and the OVA is that none of the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] are killed at the end of the story. Instead, they are defeated and driven off, allowing them to return in future installments of the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)\|''Zone'' story pages]].		*Storywise, one of the primary differences between the manga and the OVA is that none of the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] are killed at the end of the story.

	*It's indicated here that Dai Atlas becomes leader of the Autobots because [[Star Saber (Victory)\|Star Saber]] is too wounded to carry on his duties. The OVA isn't as clear about why Dai Atlas succeeds Star Saber as the new leader (other than because he's the new toy).		*It's indicated here that Dai Atlas becomes leader of the Autobots because [[Star Saber (Victory)\|Star Saber]] is too wounded to carry on his duties.
