[edit]The Transformers' Grand Hour: Headmaster of the Dimensions
[edit]Inside the Ark, Powermaster Optimus Prime and the Small Targetmasters are watching the news on TV. One screen shows an oil spill from a crashed tanker, the other shows a dimensional portal in the shape of a bridge that is linking up several parallel worlds and times. From the bridge stream many robots from different time and places. A battle soon starts, with Thunderwing attacking Vroom and Crossblades.
Meanwhile, Megatron has a plan to capture the oil tanker. A Blackrock plane takes the Autobots to the oil tanker in order to stop the Decepticons.
Back at the dimensional bridge, the Air Strike Patrol attack Skyhammer. The Pretender Vehicles are spun through time and space, thrown a million years into the past into the Andromeda nebula. The Decepticon Pretenders attack the Autobot Race Car Patrol and Off Road Patrol, who have been called to the Alaska mission.
The Decepticons arrive at the oil tanker, and Megatron threatens to make the oil spill worse if it isn't handed over to him. The Autobot plane arrives, and Cloudburst, Waverider, and Landmine parachute down and use their lasers to destroy the hoses through which the Decepticons are stealing the oil. Within viewing distance now, on the dimensional bridge, relentless combat has erupted between Transformers from the past and future.
The Micromaster bases and command centre are erected near the oil-heavy water, whilst Optimus Prime gathers his forces to descend using parachutes. They battle the Decepticons, who have begun to attack the stricken tanker. Optimus Prime uses his anti-gravity device to create huge waves that force the Decepticons into the air.
The Autobots manage to weld the hole in the tanker back together, but the Decepticons are still a threat. Optimus Prime does the only logical thing—he sends a message across dimensions to Rodimus Prime. Rodimus Prime then sends Tractor Rays from Cybertron that lifts various Decepticons and Autobots onto the dimensional bridge, saving the day. (source)
