The assembled [[Autobot]]s stand on the bow of the great ship, the [[Ark (Cybertron)|Ark]], and confront [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] and his small band of [[Decepticon]]s. Although massively outnumbered, Galvatron is unfazed, as he still wields the power of the [[Omega Lock]] and the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, and lectures [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] on the nature of power. Prime rejects Galvatron's speech, so Galvatron provides a visual aid, using the power of the Lock to transform his followers into giants. As his now-towering minions launch their attack on the Autobots, Galvatron himself makes a break for the [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]], but finds his way barred by [[Primus]]. Unfortunately for the diety, his power is so diminished from his attempts to slow the expansion of the black hole that the Omega Lock-powered Galvatron is able to blast him into unconsciousness, | |||
[[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]] shrugs off attacks from [[Brimstone (Cybertron)|Brimstone]] and [[Undermine]] before coming under fire from the [[Earth]] Transformers, including her old friend [[Lugnutz]]. At the same time, [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] finds that his new size doesn't make him a better race when he is confronted by his old foes from [[Velocitron]], while [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] literally gets the short end of things when he comes under attack by the [[Gigantion]]s, who are the same size as him even after his height increase! Finally, [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]] is given the honor of holding back Optimus Prime, but before long, the [[Cybertron Defense Team]] come to their leader's aid, taking over the fight so Prime can combine with [[Wing Saber]] to pursue Galvatron. Just before head off, Optimus is approached by [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]] and [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]], who wish to join him on his mission. They have also brought [[Coby Hansen|Coby]], [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] and [[Lori]] along in the [[Mini-Con]]s, at the children's insistence, and Optimus agrees to allow them to join them, vowing that the five leaders together will protect them. | |||
[[Image:Cyb_ep49_over_nine_thousand.jpg|right|thumb|220px]] | |||
On Earth, [[Colonel Franklin]] and [[Lucy Suzuki]] survey the destruction that the black hole is wreaking upon the planet from the relative safety of the Autobot base. As many people as possible have been evacuated to shelters, and now, all they can do is watch, wait... and hope... | |||
Heading for the black hole, the five planet leaders come upon the unconscious body of Primus, who awakens just long enough to tell them that Galvatron is within the black hole, and is using the Omega Lock to destabilize it. The Autobots pursue him, flying into the singularity and past the tortured [[Jungle Planet (Cybertron)|Jungle Planet]], which was recently caught in its inexorable pull. Just as they begin to wonder why Galvatron wishes to expand the black hole, the Decepticon leader himself appears before them, now a giant himself, and gives them their answer: it is his intention to use he black hole to bring the universe to end, after which he will use the power of the Lock and Keys to create a new universe, moulded in his image! Disgusted by Galvatron's willingness to destroy even his own Decepticons in his pursuit of power, the five leaders dive into battle, counting Galvatron's blast with their combined strength and eventually combining their [[Cyber Key]] powers into one five-pronged attack that manages to take him down. In one final act of spite, Galvatron hurls the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys at the core of the black hole, resolving to see the universe destroyed if he cannot have it himself. | |||
[[Image:Cyb_ep49_vector_ghost.jpg|left|thumb|220px]] | |||
With the black hole destabilizing all around them thanks to its prior exposure to Galvatron's power, the five Autobots dive for the core, hot on the Omega Lock's trail, but when they spot it, they discover that the Cyber Planet Keys have come loose and are floating all around them. With the aid of the kids and Mini-Cons, the leaders of the four colony worlds successfully retrieve their planets' Keys, leaving the tumbling Omega Lock for Optimus to grab. With Coby acting as his eyes, Prime navigates the debris and pushes himself to the limit, trying to catch up to the Lock. Just when it seems that he will not make it, the [[Planet Map]] in Bud possession begins to glow... and before Optimus's eyes, the ethereal form of [[Vector Prime]] appears. Vector lays his ghostly hand alongside Optimus's, and together, the two Primes reach out and seize the Omega Lock. As the sound of the [[Omega Frequency]] rings out, the Omega Lock and Keys fly from the Autobots' hands in a coalescing wave of golden energy, soaring out of the black hole and recombining with Primus. His power restored fully at last, the rejuvenated god springs to life and seizes the Ark, through which he channels all his energy in one titanic blast. This beam of holy energy stabs directly into the heart of the black hole, which shudders...glows like a dying star...and at last, is no more! | |||
[[Image:Cyb_ep49_primus_smiles.jpg|right|thumb|220px]] | |||
His purpose complete, Primus smiles and transforms back into Cybertron, but not Cybertron as the Transformers once knew their planet: now, restored by the power of the four Cyber Planet Keys, their homeworld now encompasses the greatest aspects of all four colony worlds. With the black hole finally destroyed, its effects upon the universe are no more, and peace returns to Earth. | |||
Out in space, learning that Galvatron was intending to abandon them in pursuit of his goals, the four remaining Decepticons turn the tables of their leader and abandon him instead, leaving Galvatron alone in the void. | |||
And down on Earth, the Autobots bring the kids back to their homes, where they are reunited with their parents. | |||
At last, the universe has been saved! | |||

In the dark heart of the black hole, the five planet leaders battle Galvatron for the fate of the universe.
Synopsis
The assembled Autobots stand on the bow of the great ship, the Ark, and confront Galvatron and his small band of Decepticons. Although massively outnumbered, Galvatron is unfazed, as he still wields the power of the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys, and lectures Optimus Prime on the nature of power. Prime rejects Galvatron's speech, so Galvatron provides a visual aid, using the power of the Lock to transform his followers into giants. As his now-towering minions launch their attack on the Autobots, Galvatron himself makes a break for the black hole, but finds his way barred by Primus. Unfortunately for the diety, his power is so diminished from his attempts to slow the expansion of the black hole that the Omega Lock-powered Galvatron is able to blast him into unconsciousness,
Thunderblast shrugs off attacks from Brimstone and Undermine before coming under fire from the Earth Transformers, including her old friend Lugnutz. At the same time, Crumplezone finds that his new size doesn't make him a better race when he is confronted by his old foes from Velocitron, while Ransack literally gets the short end of things when he comes under attack by the Gigantions, who are the same size as him even after his height increase! Finally, Thundercracker is given the honor of holding back Optimus Prime, but before long, the Cybertron Defense Team come to their leader's aid, taking over the fight so Prime can combine with Wing Saber to pursue Galvatron. Just before head off, Optimus is approached by Override, Scourge, Evac and Metroplex, who wish to join him on his mission. They have also brought Coby, Bud and Lori along in the Mini-Cons, at the children's insistence, and Optimus agrees to allow them to join them, vowing that the five leaders together will protect them.
On Earth, Colonel Franklin and Lucy Suzuki survey the destruction that the black hole is wreaking upon the planet from the relative safety of the Autobot base. As many people as possible have been evacuated to shelters, and now, all they can do is watch, wait... and hope...
Heading for the black hole, the five planet leaders come upon the unconscious body of Primus, who awakens just long enough to tell them that Galvatron is within the black hole, and is using the Omega Lock to destabilize it. The Autobots pursue him, flying into the singularity and past the tortured Jungle Planet, which was recently caught in its inexorable pull. Just as they begin to wonder why Galvatron wishes to expand the black hole, the Decepticon leader himself appears before them, now a giant himself, and gives them their answer: it is his intention to use he black hole to bring the universe to end, after which he will use the power of the Lock and Keys to create a new universe, moulded in his image! Disgusted by Galvatron's willingness to destroy even his own Decepticons in his pursuit of power, the five leaders dive into battle, counting Galvatron's blast with their combined strength and eventually combining their Cyber Key powers into one five-pronged attack that manages to take him down. In one final act of spite, Galvatron hurls the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys at the core of the black hole, resolving to see the universe destroyed if he cannot have it himself.
With the black hole destabilizing all around them thanks to its prior exposure to Galvatron's power, the five Autobots dive for the core, hot on the Omega Lock's trail, but when they spot it, they discover that the Cyber Planet Keys have come loose and are floating all around them. With the aid of the kids and Mini-Cons, the leaders of the four colony worlds successfully retrieve their planets' Keys, leaving the tumbling Omega Lock for Optimus to grab. With Coby acting as his eyes, Prime navigates the debris and pushes himself to the limit, trying to catch up to the Lock. Just when it seems that he will not make it, the Planet Map in Bud possession begins to glow... and before Optimus's eyes, the ethereal form of Vector Prime appears. Vector lays his ghostly hand alongside Optimus's, and together, the two Primes reach out and seize the Omega Lock. As the sound of the Omega Frequency rings out, the Omega Lock and Keys fly from the Autobots' hands in a coalescing wave of golden energy, soaring out of the black hole and recombining with Primus. His power restored fully at last, the rejuvenated god springs to life and seizes the Ark, through which he channels all his energy in one titanic blast. This beam of holy energy stabs directly into the heart of the black hole, which shudders...glows like a dying star...and at last, is no more!
His purpose complete, Primus smiles and transforms back into Cybertron, but not Cybertron as the Transformers once knew their planet: now, restored by the power of the four Cyber Planet Keys, their homeworld now encompasses the greatest aspects of all four colony worlds. With the black hole finally destroyed, its effects upon the universe are no more, and peace returns to Earth.
Out in space, learning that Galvatron was intending to abandon them in pursuit of his goals, the four remaining Decepticons turn the tables of their leader and abandon him instead, leaving Galvatron alone in the void.
And down on Earth, the Autobots bring the kids back to their homes, where they are reunited with their parents.
At last, the universe has been saved!

Notes
Differences with Galaxy Force
In addition to Cybertron's customary expansion and modification of dialogue, differences include:
- In Galaxy Force, just before the leaders take off after the Lock and Keys, Optimus Prime tells the Mini-Cons to keep the children safe. In Cybertron, he requests that they help them track the keys.
- The conversation Prime has with Coby soon after this is flip-flopped across the two versions. In Galaxy Force, he asks Coby to help him follow the Lock, Coby doesn't believe he can do it, and Prime assures him he can. Conversely, in Cybertron, Prime tells Coby to get away to safety and leave him, and Coby insists that he be allowed to help him.
- As ever, the sound of the Omega Frequency is added when the Omega Lock powers up.
- In a startling rarity that has never happened before now, some animation is different between the two versions of the show! After Cybertron is recreated, Galaxy Force shows the planet with ordinary organic plants and trees that are part of the background painting. In their place, Cybertron features CGI-animated, apparently technorganic trees, as well as replacing a featureless purple metal plain with a textured blue one, decorated with the symbol of the Omega Lock.
Animation or technical errors
- As he is super-sized, and then again during part of his fight with the Gigantions, Ransack is once again missing the black "mask" around his eyes.
- When Coby says "Work together, guys!" his voice is mistakenly given the metallic amplification reserved for Transformers.
Transformers references
- Galvatron's final words to Prime are "It's over, Prime," the final words said by Generation 1 Megatron to his Optimus Prime in The Transformers: The Movie.
- Episodes flashed back to in the final moments of this adventure include "Fallen", "Haven", "Primal", "Ship" and "Champion".
Real-world references
- Optimus instructs the planet leaders to "Come together right now, over me", a reference to The Beatles' song "Come Together".
