To save the Earth from destruction, the Autobots must defeat the Decepticons on the Moon.
Synopsis
The episode begins with Bumblebee holding the Allspark back on [Cybertron]] as the Allspark brings life back to Cybertron but it is only a vision as a cry from Windblade snaps him back to the battle in the moon of all places. Bumblebee is almost run over by Megatron but luckily for the young scout, Windblade pushes him away. Windblade informs Optimus Prime that Megatron is coming which leads the heroic leader to tell his Autobots to 'roll out'. Meanwhile, Windblade ask Bumblebee if he's alright as he apparently took a big blast back there. Bee tells Windblade that he's alright, he's just hoping that the earthlings know that they are trying to protect them but Windblade points out that the earthlings would have been a lot more happier if they didn't know about the Transformer's existence. It then cuts to a series of videos about the transformers. The first video is about a guy who saw Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in their robots mode before the camera pans over to Windblade in her jet mode stopping for the traffic lights. Another video plays, this time a news broadcast, reporting a police unit in pursuit of a another car. That other car then transforms into Shadow Striker and starts attacking the police car, prompting it to transform into Prowl and the two do battle, shocking the newscaster.

Notes
Continuity notes
- Season 2 of Cyberverse begins with a major timeskip; where we last left the Autobots in "Eruption", Bumblebee and Windblade had only just reactivated Optimus Prime and the other crewmembers, with the main Decepticon force having just arrived over the planet. A brief montage at the beginning of this episode reveals that the Autobot-Decepticon war has since begun anew on Earth, and both sides have made themselves known to humanity in the interim. Additionally, Bumblebee has had his voicebox repaired; though it's not specifically stated, it seems likely that Ratchet was responsible, as Windblade alluded to the fact that he'd previously repaired Bumblebee's voicebox back in "Fractured."
- The episode begins with Bumblebee recalling himself picking up the AllSpark in "Allspark", via reused footage.
- Wheeljack claims the Decepticons are using the force field technology he created on Cybertron.
Transformers references
- Megatron uses an energon mace in combat.
- Likewise, Optimus uses an energon-axe when he battles Megatron.
Real-world references
- The station wagon that swerves to avoid Windblade's alternate mode, as seen in one of the video clips, resembles the Watterson family car from fellow Boulder Media show The Amazing World of Gumball.
Trivia
- Thundercracker, Acid Storm, Hot Rod, Nova Storm, and Thrust are all credited with their respective voice actors, though all of them have no speaking roles, with the final two having no appearance at all.
- In a rather unusual revelation, the series, going by the first human's camcorder footage, is established as taking place in 2007—which might be a reference to the debut year of the first live-action Transformers film?
- The generic Decepticon soldiers are identical to the generic Autobot solider model, except for their grey palette-swap.
- The episode doesn't reveal what humanity actually feel about the Transformers and their war now taking place on Earth, though Windblade's comment that "the humans might've been happier not knowing" suggests that the overall impression isn't exactly positive. Considering that in the montage several battles have taken place in cities, including the shooting down of a Decepticon ship, that might not be surprising.
Animation and technical errors
- During the scene where Megatron promotes Slipstream to Starscream's status, Shadow Striker has her original body.
Other errors
- Soundwave blasts some Autobots using sonic waves... even though there's no air on the Moon for those sonic blasts to travel through. On the other hand, Bumblebee pogo-ing along using the recoil from his blaster is a more-or-less accurate depiction of low-G physics, so we'll call it even?
