Synopsis

Shaoshao pushes Brave Maximus to overdrive in pursuit of the force that's stealing Allspark fragments before the Sparkbots can collect them. However, the spaceship hits the "Wall of Time", separating the girls and their ship...

Brave Maximus crashes on the planet Master, four million years before the start of the Kiss Players' journey. The crash is witnessed by a group of refugees from Cybertron...

Shaoshao ends up separated from the other girls in an alternate reality. There, she is scooped up by Vector Prime, who can actually see and interact with her.

Notes

• This installment "pre-caps" the events of the radio plays aired on March 6 and March 20. Of course, the plays have more to them than this superbrief overview shows, but it hits the major plot points.
• Okay, remember several episodes back where we said Ohshima likes to poke continuity with a stick? Well, here, he takes a ramrod to it. Brave Maximus's wreckage provides Fortress and his fellow refugees with the materials and technology to develop the Headmaster Transtectors, which would be revealed in the Headmasters series. And he's not done yet!
