Galvatron returns!
Synopsis
The Autobots recently freed by Circuit Breaker head toward the Ark, led by Skids, who is the only one among them with knowledge of Earth. Suddenly, Skids cries out and vanishes. Meanwhile, Centurion investigates something that crashed to the ground, only to be assaulted and blown apart by Galvatron. Galvatron recollects how he met defeat at the hands of Rodimus Prime during the battle with Unicron. Hurtling through space, he activated his time-jump trigger device again and returned to present-day Earth.
While Blaster, Perceptor, and the others try to figure out what happened to Skids, they spot Galvatron approaching and a battle ensues. Shockwave, who currently commands the Decepticons, hears the explosions from the battle and believes it may be Megatron. Galvatron is making quick work of the Autobots until the Dinobots arrive, determined to get revenge for the fallen Centurion.
Galvatron clashes with the Dinobots and Blaster, having incapacitated the rest of the Autobots. Shockwave and the Decepticons watch the battle from nearby, and Soundwave tells Shockwave what he knows of Galvatron. Shockwave admits that, as Galvatron is a bigger threat, the Decepticons may need to aid the Dinobots.
Galvatron blasts Swoop and, nearly unconscious, Swoop hears Professor Morris asking to occupy Swoop's body again. Swoop consents, and Morris distracts Galvatron long enough for the Decepticons to attack. Galvatron retreats, not wanting to fight the Decepticons he hopes to soon command. Shockwave concludes it would be illogical to attack the Dinobots at this point, and the parties go their separate ways.
