Megatron and the Decepticons try to recapture the Street Action Team, but are stopped by the arrival of the Autobots.
Synopsis
[edit]At the Allspark Power Generator Station, Miss Ruby's class is partaking in a field trip when they come face-to-face with the newly arrived Autobots, who have travelled to Earth via space bridge transit. After Red Alert requests information on the location of the Mini-Cons, the class flees in terror. After reprimanding Smokescreen and Scavenger for suggesting that they rip through the planet in search for the Mini-Cons, Optimus Prime emphasizes the importance of minimizing contact with the natives of the planet.
In Science City, Rad, Carlos, Alexis, and their Mini-Con friends find themselves chased by the Decepticon Megatron, also newly arrived. They manage to escape the giant by fleeing into a tunnel. Angered, Megatron contacts Starscream, who reminds his leader that he and the other Decepticons were assigned to look for alternate modes. They do so by attacking a military base and scanning the vehicles contained there.
At Rad's garage, the kids demand answers from their robot friends, and the Mini-Cons explain their existence as an alien robot race used by the Decepticons as slaves in conquest. Alexis becomes angry at being involved in a giant robot war and gets into argument with Rad, but Carlos tries to cool the two off. A running and terrified corpulent lady alerts them to the arrival of the Decepticons.
Starscream forcibly downloads Megatron's alternate mode, which proves to be a form he likes. The Mini-Cons, themselves having scanned vehicles, attempt to escape the Decepticons with the kids, and run into the Autobots. Megatron, not surprised at the Autobots' presence, promises their death.
