Megatron creates a clone of Optimus Prime to lure the Autobots to their doom.
Detailed synopsis
Basically, the Decepticons find some corlonium crystals, which make anything electronic that they touch go kaboom unless insulated. Hoping to trick the Autobots into investigating the crystals, Megatron makes a remote-controlled clone of Optimus Prime. Naturally, the Autobots figure things out, the clone goes kaboom, and the Decepticons run away.

Continutity errors
