Ravenus makes off with a hostage!

Synopsis

[edit]

Ravenus uses his enhanced Powerlinx command to force-Powerlinx Servo and Twirl to him. Flat-Out and Falcia struggle to resist the command, and do so thanks to the help of Stella, who gets them to Powerlinx to her car. Their energies turn it into a piloted mech, and Stella uses Falcia's claw-mode to break Servo free, but Ravenus takes off with Twirl.

Redline tells Combusta to send a message to all Mini-Cons via the Linkage, giving them the ability to use the Master Key themselves and enhance their abilities, plus break the Servility Program forever. He then takes off after Ravenus.

Meanwhile, Combusta forces Sunburn to reveal her side's plan: "The creator" is ready to be awakened with the "three keys," but the "traitors" with free will still need to be wiped out. Ravenus contains the Doomstone, a gem whose energies can destroy the Linkage, using the mental link caused by a Powerlinx.
