In the wake of defeat, Megatron isn't happy.
Synopsis
In a lower layer of Gigantion, Scourge helps the batteredMegatron walk after his thrashing at the hands of Metroplex. The Decepticons offer words of encouragement, but Megatron isn't listening, as he growls that he needs more power.
Up on the surface of the planet, Optimus Prime recalls the Autobots' brief but tumultuous time on Gigantion, before asking Metroplex to guide them to the central layer. The planet leader unfortunately tells Prime that they cannot: It's not that they don't want to, but their customs dictate that data on old cities be erased, so the lower levels are as much a mystery to them as they are to the newcomers. Undeterred by this turn of events, the Autobots determine to search the old cities for any remaining data. Given the size of the planet, narrowing down their search radius is a necessity, and to that end, they start unloading equipment from the Ogygia which will help Vector Prime get a general fix on the location of the Cyber Planet Key via the Omega Lock.
Back underground, Megatron is fuming, literally. Ransack and Crumplezone get a little too close and get knocked backwards by the sheer force of Megatron's "aura of fury". Scourge assures everyone that it's not them he's angry at... and then Megatron's fury boils over, creating an energy blast that scatters the Decepticons and punches a hole to the surface. Megatron rises high into the air, and the Decepticons pull themselves from the rubble. Soundwave announces he's "droppin' outta this session" and flies off. Megatron rumbles that he needs more power, and the Gigantion Cyber Planet Key reacts to his anger... as does the Omega Lock, which starts emitting the Omega Frequency. Megatron's spirit resonates with the Key, and he becomes intangible, plunging downward, through layer after layer of the planet, all the way to the lowest level and the resting place of the Key. When he reaches out to take it, the Key resists him, but Megatron persists and begins to draw energy from it. In a mighty blast of energy, Megatron shoots back through to the surface, tearing a huge hole in the planet. As the Decepticons look up at their leader, Megatron stands shrouded in a black miasma, and Thunderblast swoons at the sight.
Back at the Ogygia, the Omega Lock's reaction has allowed Vector Prime to pinpoint the general location of the Key, but he warns that someone else has obviously located it first, and drawn energy from it. The Autobots split into groups to search (the fliers turning it into a little race), but by dividing themselves, the Autobots inadvertantly make themselves the perfect target for the darkness-enshrouded Megatron. Leobreaker, Snarl and Landmine are the first to fall to the superpowered Decepticon leader, who takes them out so fast that their battle does not even damage the surrounding area. The three Autobots' unconscious bodies found by Optimus's team when Vector Prime realizes they have not reported in, but even as they are tending to them, elsewhere on the planet, Override finds herself being pursued by Megatron. She is knocked into the air, but Quickmix catches her and fires at Megatron before engaging him hand-to-hand...only to be quickly knocked out. Optimus's team soon finds them too, and Override warns Optimus about the upgraded Megatron, prompting the Autobot leader to recall all his troops.
Jetfire's team recieves the recall order just as Coby is crawling through an old computer, and he instructs the human to get out immediately. Coby, however, spots a data chip in the distance, and asks for five minutes to check it out. While he does successfully recover the chip, those fives minutes prove to be a fatal delay: having bested the Cybertron Defense Team, Megatron and the Decepticons arrive at Jetfire's team's position. Wing Saber and Evac tackle Megs so Jetfire can get Coby and Lori away safely, but this attempt is in vain, as Megatron wipes out all the Autobots pretty much instantly. As he turns on the humans, the wounded Jetfire grabs his leg, but is saved from being completely finished off by the timely arrival of Optimus Prime. Prime fires on Megatron, to virtually no effect, and Megatron responds by knocking Prime out of the air with a single flying kick. As he stands over his fallen foe, Megatron's black aura dissipates, and his newly-colored armor is revealed as he announces he is now Galvatron (again)!
Metroplex has at Galvatron, but the Decepticon stops the giant's Sparkdrinker axe with a single finger, then pushes him back easily. Metroplex powers up his weapon with a Cyber Key, but Galvatron actually takes the weapon from Metroplex's hands and bashes him with it, knocking him out for the count. Vector Prime leaps in but is dispatched with a single swipe of Galvatron's hand, and the Decepticon leader then activates his claw shield to bash Optimus around some. Prime refuses to stay down, so Galvatron whips out his gatling cannon, which sends Optimus flying. In victory, Galvatron emits a lightning storm, and one bolt screams towards the kids at the top of a high tower... but Optimus somehow gets in the way of the bolt, saving them.
Recalling the promise he made to their parents to keep the children safe, Optimus powers up into Super Mode and the two leaders charge one another. They do that fly-at-each-other-then-punch-each-others'-fist-and-hold thing, before Galvatron is pushed back. But Prime falters, and Galvatron is ready to go again... until Metroplex hurls the gigantic Sparkdrinker at Optimus. Prime manages to summon a Cyber Key to power it up, and the two rush at each other again, this time to do that run-past-each-other-then-stand-still-then-the-hero-kneels-the-bad-guy-smirks-but-is-then-wounded deal. The Decepticons rush to Galvatron's aid, and he decides to call it a day. They run, and Soundwave, who has been watching this whole time, also flies off.
The Autobots return to the Ogygia, and use the machinery Coby recovered to plot a course underground. The ship heads for the coordinates, but along their way, they pass by the crevice Galvatron tore when he emerged from within the planet... which now contains the Atlantis starship!

Notes
Differences with Galaxy Force
- Cybertron's adds the customary sound of the Omega Frequency when the Lock powers up.
- After Prime and Megatron's final attacks upon each other, Cybertron has Megatron mock Prime, before his injuries suddenly get the better of him. In Galaxy Force, Megatron is aware that he has been injured before his wounds open, and calmly dubs the outcome "interesting".
Animation or technical errors
- Ransack is missing the black "mask" around his eyes at several points during this episode. We have seen this error in a few prior episodes, but it really started to happen with noticeable frequency on Gigantion.
- The three Decepticon fans on Crumplezone's back when he and Ransack celebrate Galvatron's reveal are gone in the next shot, even though the fans in their hands are still there (compare the picture at right with the one at the head of this article).
Continuity or plotting errors
- So... now there's this gigantic hole in the planet, yes? Which presumably leads from the Key at the center of the planet... all the way to the surface where the Decepticons are... so... why don't they just fly down the hole and snag the Key all easy-peasey?
Transformers references
- Optimus Prime flashes back to the events of "Family", recalling the promise he made to the children's parents.
- Galvatron mutters "Such heroic nonsense" before powering up with a Cyber Key, the infamous line Generation 1 Megatron uttered before brutally killing Ironhide in the movie. Scourge previously offered a different spin on the line back in "Cybertron".
- Later, Galvatron adds another instance of over-use of movie lines with "Why throw away your life so recklessly?", which would later be used again in "Unfinished").
Real-world references
- When Megatron communes with the Key, Vector mutters he "felt great disturbance within the force", a line ripped straight from the first Star Wars movie, spoken by Obi-Wan Kenobi and referring to the Force. There was even a Star Wars novel named "Vector Prime"!
Miscellaneous trivia
- The blacked-out figure of Metroplex that has been seen in the Galaxy Force opening sequence since "Titans" is now blacked-out no longer, transitioning the sequence into the finalized form it will retain until the end of the series.
- Okay, okay, this is technically the last time we see Nemesis Breaker... but it's only in flashbacks to last episode.
- Quickmix uses his left-arm pipes as a hand-held blaster here, which the Quickmix toy can actually do!
