	In the year [[2021]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)\|Fortress Maximus]]'s Autobots clash with a returned [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons over a giant [[Black hole (phenomenon)\|black hole]] that the Decepticon seeks to explode, hoping to destroy the Autobots and create [[plasma energy]] in one fell swoop. Accusing his nemesis of being mad with revenge, Fortress has his troops recover what explosives they can, only for Scorponok to detonate the rest with no concern for his own soldiers. Fortress sends [[Wheelie (G1)\|Wheelie]] and their human friends to safety as the blast wave hits Autobots and Decepticons alike, shrinking their bodies into [[super deformed]] forms! An examination shows that being exposed to the exploding black hole has caused miniature black holes ("[[blackball]]s") to appear in their bodies, shrinking their mass and threatening to collapse the Autobots in on themselves if nothing is done.

Furthermore, Tarantulas has his own scheme in mind, intending to use the Decepticons to conquer the world for himself!

	In the year [[2021]], [[Fortress Maximus (G1)\|Fortress Maximus]]'s Autobots clash with a returned [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons over a giant [[black hole]] that the Decepticon seeks to explode, hoping to destroy the Autobots and create [[plasma energy]] in one fell swoop. Accusing his nemesis of being mad with revenge, Fortress has his troops recover what explosives they can, only for Scorponok to detonate the rest with no concern for his own soldiers. Fortress sends [[Wheelie (G1)\|Wheelie]] and their human friends to safety as the blast wave hits Autobots and Decepticons alike, shrinking their bodies into [[super deformed]] forms! An examination shows that being exposed to the exploding black hole has caused miniature black holes ("[[blackball]]s") to appear in their bodies, shrinking their mass and threatening to collapse the Autobots in on themselves if nothing is done.

	The [[Autobot Mini-Cassette\|cassettes]] inside of [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Twincast]] prove to be unaffected and the [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]] simply disconnect from their affected [[transtector]]s, but the other Autobots are still in danger. Seeing no other option, Fortress has their heads removed and retrofitted into Headmasters as their bodies continue to shrink and eventually pop out of existence. In order to get everyone new bodies, he then suggests they visit the Legends ~~Universe~~, recalling the creation of their comrades Roadbuster and Whirl. Having tracked the dimension's spacetime coordinates from the two Wreckers' residual radiation, he sets out to travel there via [[solitarium]] straight away—because the battleship ''Maximus'' which makes up his body is ''also'' shrinking. As they depart, the Autobots wonder if the affected Decepticons have had the same idea, and indeed the Decepticon Headmasters have already reached the Legends ~~Universe~~ and struck a deal with Tera-Kura Co. scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]] to make them new bodies. Furthermore, Tarantulas has his own scheme in mind, intending to use the Decepticons to conquer the world for himself!

	*The Blackballs and the [[super deformed]] appearances they inflicted upon the characters in this chapter are a reference to ''[[PDTF Comic]]'' in which the Blackball concept originated as that fiction's primary {{w\|MacGuffin}} quarreled over by super-deformed versions of the Autobots and Decepticons.		*The Blackballs and the [[super deformed]] appearances they inflicted upon the characters in this chapter are a reference to ''[[PDTF Comic]]'' in which the Blackball concept originated as that fiction's primary {{w\|MacGuffin}} quarreled over by super-deformed versions of the Autobots and Decepticons.
	*Scorponok was last seen when his BlackZarak transtector and [[Devil Z]] were destroyed in the ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|Super-God Masterforce]]'' finale "[[A Battle... and Then...]]". Although his continued existence had already been established in the ''[[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!\|Zone]]'' OVA, this story indicates that he survived with no supernatural assistance from [[~~Violen Jiger~~]], the ''Zone'' main antagonist. Scorponok's obsession with plasma energy was shown in the two-part ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|The Headmasters]]'' episode "[[Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1\|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger]]".		*Scorponok was last seen when his BlackZarak transtector and [[Devil Z]] were destroyed in the ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|Super-God Masterforce]]'' finale "[[A Battle... and Then...]]".

	*Most of the main cast of ''The Headmasters'' anime reappears. [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Cyclonus]] is absent, off participating in the [[Grand Galvatron Chapter\|online]] [[Sky Reign Chapter\|chapters]] of ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors\|Unite Warriors]]''. Soundblaster's cassettes can be assumed to be present inside his chest. Curiously, however, Apeface's partner [[Snapdragon (G1)\|Snapdragon]] and the Autobot Targetmasters' Decepticon counterparts are not seen. Among the Autobots, [[Brainstorm (G1)\|Brainstorm]] stands out with his absence, likely because he got his time in the spotlight already with his first ''Legends'' toy.		*Most of the main cast of ''The Headmasters'' anime reappears.
