Mandroid has returned with a new sinister plan to eliminate all Cybertronian life.
Synopsis
At the Malto farm, a portal crackles in the sky as the newly-returned and augmented Mandroid opens a panel in his new cybernetic body to reveal his face. When Croft expresses surprise at his appearance, he reveals that by his clock he's gone for about a year. His henchmen, Blitzwave and Razor-Fin, also swoop down from the portal and Mandroid explains that he liberated the Sharkticon's planet from their oppressors. When Twitch defiantly asserts they'll defeat Mandroid, he responds by draining Shockwave's energon, putting the Decepticon in shutdown. Mandroid demands they turn over Robby and Mo's cyber-sleeves, at which point the Maltobots attack him, leaving him on the back foot long enough for the entire family to make a run for it. He sends the two Sharkticons after them and when Croft asks pointedly about the changes Mandroid's control device seems to be making to her, he invites her to meet him at the space bridge.
As the Maltos flee through the woods, the pursuing Sharkticons bring trees down ahead of them. The Maltobots attempt to avoid the fallen trees, but in the process Alex and Dot end up thrown into the air and Razor-Fin swallows them whole. The shocked kids have no choice but to continue their flight lest Robby and Mo be captured, but the Sharkicons manage to catch up while they're still trying to formulate a plan and a rocket from the pair sends Jawbreaker, Hashtag and Thrash plummiting down a waterfall. Nightshade and Twitch attempt to get away by air with Robby and Mo until Mandroid shoots them down. A fight ensues, with the four Maltos managing to overcome the two Sharkticons, howver Mandroid knocks Nightshade and Twitch aside, seizing the two humans and draining the energy from their cyber-sleeves before tossing them into Razor-Fin's mouth. Blitzwave blasts the pair with missiles as the evil trio depart. The pair dig themselves out of the rubble and Nightshade attempts to raise the spirits of a now-despondant Twitch.
Bumblebee and Schloder are playing a card game in a G.H.O.S.T. cell. Breakdown accuses Bee of cheating just before the power cuts out. Twitch and Nightshade make quick work of the Ghoid guards and cut the power to Bee and Schloder's cell, before Twitch insists they free the Decepticons as well, given G.H.O.S.T. has not turned out to be all that was promised. Schloder announces G.H.O.S.T. is finished, dramatically pulling off his badge, but the kids have already deactivated all of the cells and attempt to talk them into helping fight Mandroid, but the disinterested Decepticons depart. The remaining group head to the space bridge where they spy on Croft and Mandroid. The latter explains that Croft's scarring is due to an infusion of energon from the badge controller. He activates the space bridge to demonstrate how it can be weaponized to target energon, causing Croft's skin to slowly turns necrotic until a burst of energy leaps from the bridge to her, killing her outright.
