On the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], the Decepticons have constructed a ridiculously extensive base, from which they plan to fire missiles at the Autobots' headquarters on Earth. The Autobots learn of this, but can't do much about it: their [[space bridge]] is still out of action, and Smokescreen and Scavenger on the moon can't reach the Decepticons' missile silo. The Mini-Cons offer to help by surrendering to the Decepticons in exchange for the Autobots being spared. Naturally, Megatron only ''pretends'' to agree—he sends Cyclonus to pick the Mini-Cons up in a [[solar barge]], then plans to blow up the Autobots anyway. | |||
The Autobots have planned on this, and quickly build a new spacebridge above their headquarters, while Smokescreen and Scavenger make their way to the Decepticons' own space bridge controls on the moob.

The warheads end up flying straight through the Autobots' space bridge... and emerge at the Decepticon base, where Smokescreen and Scavenger have connected the two portals. The Decepticons' headquarters goes up in flames, but Optimus Prime knows that they now have to rescue the surrendered Mini-Cons, who are already in space... | |||

Synopsis
On the moon, the Decepticons have constructed a ridiculously extensive base, from which they plan to fire missiles at the Autobots' headquarters on Earth. The Autobots learn of this, but can't do much about it: their space bridge is still out of action, and Smokescreen and Scavenger on the moon can't reach the Decepticons' missile silo. The Mini-Cons offer to help by surrendering to the Decepticons in exchange for the Autobots being spared. Naturally, Megatron only pretends to agree—he sends Cyclonus to pick the Mini-Cons up in a solar barge, then plans to blow up the Autobots anyway.
The Autobots have planned on this, and quickly build a new spacebridge above their headquarters, while Smokescreen and Scavenger make their way to the Decepticons' own space bridge controls on the moob. Cyclonus captures the surrendering Mini-Cons, and Megatron fires the missiles at Earth. The warheads end up flying straight through the Autobots' space bridge... and emerge at the Decepticon base, where Smokescreen and Scavenger have connected the two portals. The Decepticons' headquarters goes up in flames, but Optimus Prime knows that they now have to rescue the surrendered Mini-Cons, who are already in space...

Unfortunately, the cable recoils and hits Sparkplug, sending him drifting in space. Cyclonus notices what is going on, but Jolt incapacitates him with a pair of taser darts that crashes his guidance systems. He then saves Sparkplug and flies back to the barge, which has extended its solar sails and is returning to Earth.
