Detailed Synopsis
Demolishor is astonished to hear about the truce between the two armies. Cyclonus suggests that they simply use the idea of a truce to ambush the Autobots, at which point Galvatron makes Cyclonus respect his authoritah. Galvatron is just upset at how poorly things have turned, but Starscream's sacrifice convinced him: they're going to ally with the Autobots...for now. Afterwards, all bets are off.
Inside of Unicron, Thrust and Sideways plan their inevitable victory and conquest of the universe. The power of the Star Saber allows Unicron to shed the remains of his moon-disguise shell. The dark god hovers over Cybertron, sucking up parts of the terrain. Both armies evacuate the surface, assisted by the Mini-Con swarm.
In a ceremonial procedure, Galvatron and his men meet for a handshake to seal the truce. The leaders shake hands, and Perceptor also grabs on as his way of representing the allegiance of the Mini-cons. Forming a single front, the Armada heads towards Unicron. The first volley of fire does no damage against their enemy. Two larger ships perform reconaissance and are blasted, so a team of Hot Shot, Side Swipe, Demolishor, and Cyclonus (and some others) are sent in, based on a vaguely familar theory that smaller ships will pass through Unicron's detection. On Unicron's surface, Cyclonus and the generics fly away to break stuff, and Demolishor leaves to avoid Hot Shot, leaving the two Autobots by themselves.
Unicron's geography shifts and folding, disturbing his visitors (and causing Demolishor to lose Blackout. From the base, Galvatron suggests another attack. which Optimus makes sure won't harm the recon crew, who have their hands full fighting against swarms of Dead-Ends. Demolishor saves Cyclonus from falling into a fissure, while the Autobots assist their begrudgent allies. Demolishor saves Side Swipe from falling into another fissure, and Hot Shot thanks the Decepticon by re-uniting Demolishor with Blackout. A tender moment. Optimus and Galvatron arrive to bring the group home.
From a distance, the armada witnesses Unicron complete his transformation into robot mode, ready to devour the planet.

- Carlos: Hey, are you alright, Alexis?
- Alexis: Yeah, I was just thinking about Starscream. You know he sure would have loved to see all this happen between them. After all, it was kind of his last request.

- The Generic Decepticons sent to Unicron to assist the named characters have G1 character models in colors based on some of the Mini-Cons (such as Blitzwing in Sparkplug colors)(see photo).
- They totally all died.
- Cyclonus is in danger of falling into a hole, having apparently forgotten that he can fly which he was doing moments before.
- Assuming the episode was entirely in real-time, Unicron's transformation took close to seven minutes.
- Yes, the combined army of Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons is what the Armada in the title of the series stands for.
