The Super Stunt Team begins to unlock the Mini-Cons' full potential, but their foes haven't given up yet!
Synopsis
[edit]Redline hands over the last two Mini-Con storage panels in his storage compartment to Stella so she can safeguard them while he undergoes the "evolution" with Combusta. Using the Master Key, gleaned from scans of Midship and the Fixer Bugs, the two finally unlock their full potential, tapping into the vast power well given by their creator.
The Aqua Raider Team's Freeboot and Bilge board the Mini-Cons' ship, only to find it's been cleaned out and left as a decoy while the real work occurs on the nearby uninhabited Hawaiian island. Sunburn alerts them to the energy surge caused by the evolution, and all three move in to attack. But against the newly super-enhanced Combusta and Redline, they stand no chance at all.
But the Speed Chaser Team in Magnawing mode have one more gambit: They arrive with the metal casket, which blasts open to reveal a hideous new Transformer, Ravenus!
