Synopsis
The Autobots engage the Decepticons in battle over the Omega Lock. Optimus squares off against Megatron, but is distracted by the missing kids, allowing Megatron to score some free hits.
Meanwhile the kids are floating around trying to catch the communicators. Coby tries to communicate with the Mini-Cons and Optimus but the transmissions aren't getting through, and Bud's suggestions aren't helpful. Coby changes tack and uses some navigation files he downloaded in order to try and find out where they are. He determines that they're on the Atlantis by Earth's moon. Puzzling over how they're going to get back, they decide to look for the Mini-Cons.
On the Atlantis bridge, Starscream smugly watches Optimus and Megatron fight, while Jolt asks to be released. Sideways works on trying to extract information about Gigantion from Jolt's memory, but the sheer amount of data in Jolt's brain is making it difficult. Bored, he tries to tune in to Galactic Guardians before remembering all the communications are jammed, and settles for listening to music on his mini-cassette player instead. No sooner has he started singing along than Starscream accuses him of goofing off, so he decides to finish the repairs to the ship. Jolt wonders where his teammates are. Six-Speed and Reverb are, in fact, throwing themselves against a door in an attempt to get to Jolt, while Sideways on the other side tells them to stop as the door won't open unless you have the key. He moans that he couldn't just take Jolt; he had to take all three Mini-Cons.
Back on Primus, the Autobots are still fighting the Decepticons. Prime and Megatron activate their claws, and their fists slam together with a power which can be seen from space.
On the Atlantis, Sideways has finished his repairs and returns to find the download is taking forever. As Starscream demands he do something about it, Sideways thinks of a new plan — hack into Jolt's brain and delete all of the data not pertaining to Gigantion. Jolt squeaks that he doesn't like that plan. Screamer tells Sideways to shut him up and says he's going to snatch the Omega Lock.
The kids still are stuck and trying to find a way out. Coby rigs up a scanner, which directs them to a heating duct they're able to float down. Coby shushes the complainers as they're coming up on an opening in the side of the duct, through which they can see Sideways working on something. As they observe that his work is somewhat clumsy, he turns on the gravity generator back on so he can work more easily. The kids fall down, and so does a coil of wire, which Bud claims. The kids wonder what Sideways is working on, until Jolt finally yelps a pathetic "Help?!" They speculate that Sideways is planning to turn Jolt into a mindless zombie, prompting a dismayed cry from Bud, which alerts Sideways to their position. Jolt yells at them to run.
After Coby yells to Jolt that they'll be back, the kids flee, and Sideways trips over a cable trying to follow them. The kids slide down a shaft which opens over a flaming pit. Bud makes it over, but Lori nearly falls in and Coby slides after her when he grabs her hand. Bud wraps the cable around Coby's leg and saves them both.
Sideways tells Jolt he's going to sort out the kids and teleports away. The kids run off when they see him, but he simply teleports to their new location. As Lori and Bud run, Coby drops his communicator, which starts projecting a life-sized hologram of Megatron.
