Synopsis

At Scramble City, the Kiss Player cassettes are in a panic over the disappearance of their human partners. However, this panic is interrupted by Ultra Magnus, who tells the bots that their human partners are currently traveling through time.

Meanwhile, millions of years in the past, Atari and Star Dust must claim an AllSpark fragment from Optimus Primal. However, when the fragment emerges, a mysterious force steals it away before the Sparkbot can collect it.

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
