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.

"Relax, Megatron. What's wrong? Don't you trust me?"

Starscream asks a silly question
