Synopsis

[edit]

On Victory, the Autobots receive an SOS from Earth: the Decepticons are attacking! The new Supreme Commander, Star Saber deploys the Multiforce to battle, ordering the Brainmasters to stay behind.

On Earth, the Dinoforce are laying siege to a city, eventually combining into Dinoking. Their rampage is cut short when the Multiforce combiner, Landcross, arrives. Declaring his intentions to become the Decepticon's new rival, the two square-off.

With Dinoking indisposed, Star Saber and his human son, Jan (who is overwhelmed by the beauty of his home planet, which he had forgotten), take on the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction, Deathsaurus, and the "Decepticon Boy", Solon. The fight is a short one, as one good swipe from Star Saber's Saber Blade is enough to severely wound Deathsaurus.

With the arrival of the individual Multiforce robots and the news that Dinoking has been defeated, Deathsaurus and Solon beat a hasty retreat. Jan believes that some day the Universe will be at peace, leaving Star Saber to declare that the battle for that peace begins today.
