After Ignite Leo's barrage of attacks proved too much for Optimus alone to handle, Lightlong combined with him into Lightning Optimus once more, but it proved futile as Ignite Leo's companion Spirituan neutralized their combined attack with an Earth Defense summoned boulder, and Lightning Optimus was nearly defeated, once again, by Ignite Leo, until Hydrophant finally assumed the courage to strike back, and combined with Lightning Optimus into Lightning Aqua Optimus, who defeats Ignite Leo with an electrically charged water stream. Afterwards, Spirituan himself was whisked away from the group to Megatron's location via unknown means, and forcefully Wildocked to his right arm.

Toys

Wildocking is the primary gimmick of TakaraTomy's 2025 Wild King toyline, wherein the Energy Beasts can become an arm or leg and combine with an Energy Master acting as the torso. The "Element Energy" pieces of the Energy Beasts can be placed on the Energy Master's chest, indicating the Energy Master's dominion over a specific elemental power.

Notes

• "Wildocking" (ワイルドッキング) is a pun on "Wild King" (ワイルドキング).
