	::*Because this was one of the first few episodes dubbed, there are countless translation ~~Errors~~ and ~~mispronounced Names~~:		::*Because this was one of the first few episodes ever to be dubbed into German, there are countless translation errors, mispronounced names and just outright ''confusion'' regarding established characters and concepts:

	~~:::*The~~ Hive ~~is called '''Die Herrscher''' (''The Rulers'') once in the beginning of the episodes and from then on they use~~ their original ~~Name '''~~Hive~~'''~~.		:::*Unlike in the previous episode, the Hive are consistently referred to by their original, untranslated name, "Hive".
	:::*Stylor is ~~called '''~~Stylorman~~'''~~.		:::*Gort's line "How about you, Mr. Stylor, man?", is misinterpreted, calling Stylor "Stylorman" as if that were his name.
	:::*Cyclonus ~~calls~~ the Autobots ~~at least once~~ the '''Autbots'''.		:::*The pronunciation of the name "Autobots" is always somewhat wonky throughout the German dub (often with an overly extended second "o"), but when Cyclonus says "If any of these losers had the key, the other Autobots would be all over us by now", in the German dub, he mispronounces it as "''Autbots''".
	:::*Zarak ~~calls~~ Gort ~~at least once~~ '''Gart'''.		:::*When Zarak says, "So thats where Gort and his rebels have been hiding", in the German dub, he misprounces Gort's as "''Gart''".

	Back on Cybertron, Optimus and Magnus have reached the source of the Autobot leader's quest: the chamber of [[Vector Sigma]]. Using the [[Matrix of Leadership\|Matrix]] as an interface, Prime activates the supercomputer to communicate with the spirit of [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]]. Alpha explains that the Key is on Nebulos, and that Vector Sigma arranged for [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Galvatron]] to learn of it. All of this is being done to bring about a second [[Golden Age]], which depends on the merging of a [[human]] with an Autobot. Before the discussion is ended, Alpha Trion tells Prime to preserve the key at all costs. Prime is confused, but it's kinda hard to argue with God's will, after all. Optimus departs for Nebulos, leaving Ultra Magnus in command of the Autobots until his return.

	On Nebulos, the modifications are complete, and the Hive members bond with the Decepticons. Zarak, however, remains behind, having plans for the Hive's city. Meanwhile, the Autobots are dragging the ship to the rebel base, when [[Cerebros (G1)\|Cerebros]] arrives, badly damaged and mumbling that he found a city. The Autobots are able to stabilize him, but the Decepticons show up. Brainstorm is pissed that the Decepticons have their own Headmasters.

[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] decides that it's time to find some answers, and leaves the battle, with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ultra Magnus]] following.

	Back on Nebulos, [[Scourge (G1)~~/Generation 1 cartoon continuity~~\|Scourge]] is torturing the captive Autobots for the key, to the amusement of [[Apeface]]. However, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Cyclonus]] realizes that these Autobots don't have the Key, or the others would be all over them. Bad choice of words, as the Autobot Headmasters appear. They quickly overwhelm the Decepticons and free the captives, taking [[Revenge (G1)\|the Decepticon ship]] in the process. Some of the Hive members believe that the Decepticons should be destroyed as well, but their leader has other plans. Capturing the Decepticons, Lord [[Zarak (G1)\|Zarak]] offers them a deal: Submit to the Headmaster process and allow the Hive to be their partners, giving them the strength to destroy the Autobots. Scourge tells them to get bent, but Zarak reveals that the offer was only a formality. Grabbing the Decepticons, Cyclonus and Scourge agree to deal, but only with the heads of the animals. Apeface objects, but Cyclonus shows him who is boss. The "vehicle" Decepticons offer their weapons. Zarak agrees, and the modifications begin.
