Friends and Foes!
Synopsis
After using his Mini-Con-boosted strength to defeat Optimus Prime, Megatron summons Starscream, Cyclonus and Demolishor via space bridge, and orders them to scour the planet for Mini-Cons. The Mini-Cons and their human friends watch Prime fall, but refuse to help as their involvement would only invite more disaster. Rad won't have any of this attitude, however, and decides to take matters into his own hands. He interrupts Megatron, who has figured out that there must be Mini-Cons on the moon as well, and offers him a deal: he can have the Mini-Cons' ship if he lets Optimus Prime live.
Unfortunately, Megatron doesn't do "deals", instead opting to capture Rad and force him to take him to the ship. Meanwhile, Carlos makes his way into the Mini-Con ship in search of someone who can help his friend. Ultimately, Rad is saved by High Wire and the other Mini-Cons, who have decided to take action after all. While they fail to do much damage to Megatron, they keep him busy long enough for Optimus Prime to open a space bridge, from which Hot Shot and Red Alert appear. As a battle breaks out, the Mini-Cons power-link with the Autobots, granting them the power they need to vanquish the Decepticons.
In the aftermath, Optimus Prime is complimenting Rad for his brave actions when Carlos suddenly reappears, claiming that he has found something interesting at the Mini-Cons' ship.
