Japanese title: "Dinobot Showdown!" Part 2

Synopsis

Having sunken the Dinobots into a pool of tar, Megatron orders the Decepticons to resume the collection of Energon. However, Starscream fears that Megatron's plundering may have disastrous consequences for the island... and the Decepticons.

Meanwhile, the Autobots finish repairing the control room. However, Teletraan I alerts them to a temporal anomaly in the city, near the library, where Spike and Bumblebee are. Going to investigate, the Autobots find barbarians making a mess of things. Hound locates Spike and Bumblebee under the rubble of the library, where Sideswipe drills them out. Bumblebee is able to cover Spike and prevent any harm, while the Autobots round up the time lost travelers. Optimus Prime orders the Autobots not to use leathal force, as they are living creatures here by accident. Sunstreaker, Huffer, and Sideswipe manage to round up the mammoths. Optimus knows just where to put them, and the Autobot leader has them store the mammoths in his trailer (poor Roller), while Ironhide immobilizes the barbarians. However, the portal is closing fast. The Autobots send the barbarians and mammoths back through the anomaly, which closes just in time.

Returning to the base, Chip Chase, Perceptor, and Beachcomber begin research into what is causing all this. Before they do, however, two more anomalies are discovered: one at sea, one out in the country. Seaspray, Tracks, and Cliffjumper go intercept the sea-based anomaly, which is a pirate ship attacking a yatch. The Autobots free the yatch and drive it back through the anomaly.

In the country side, Prowl, Jazz, Red Alert, and Inferno find that a group of old west outlaws have encountered a biker gang. After a brief rustle between the two gangs, the Autobots force the outlaws back through the wormhole. After resuming their analysis, Chip learns that the disturbances can be traced to Dinobot Island. The Autobots fly out by using jet packs.

Meanwhile, the Dinobots have managed to free themselves from the tar pit, thanks to Slag setting it on fire, only to see that Dinobot Island is in danger. Concluding that the Decepticons have done "bad stuff" to the Island, the Dinobots decide it's time to do "more badder stuff" to the Decepticons. The Autobots arrive, and attack the Decepticons, but are quickly overwhelmed. Grimlock inspires the island's dinosaur population to attack the Decepticons, forcing them to retreat.

With the Decepticons gone, the Autobots destroy the Energon cubes, causing the energy inside to return to the places it was taken from, stabilizing Dinobot Island. Optimus declares that the Dinobots have proven that they can control their powers, and the Autobots and Dinobots return home.
