Space (episode)
Megatron races Override, Scattorshot and Bud undergo reentry, and Starscream and Thundercracker take on five Autobots by themselves.
Detailed synopsis
In Autobots HQ, Bud direly wants to travel into space. He manages to talk Jolt into thinking it's a good idea, and Jolt in turn convinces Scattorshot to take Bud into orbit on their "big invisible space bridge", which is in fact just that.
On Velocitron, Hot Shot and Red Alert are searching for the cyber planet key. Hot Shot desperately wants to try out the raceways that cover the planet's surface by challenging one of the locals, but Red Alert reminds him that Optimus ordered them not to talk to them, much less race.
In England, Optimus Prime, Vector Prime, and a few other Autobots are checking out a set of standing stones for clues to the location of the Omega Lock. This appears to involve having Landmine dig a big hole in the ground. They are suddenly attacked by Starscream and Thundercracker.
On Velocitron, Override meets Megatron, who asks her, as planetary leader, to tell him where to find the planet key. She says she'll tell him . . . if he can beat her in a race. He accepts.
The race is extremely close, but Override wins by inches. Megatron apparently takes this calmly, but inside is musing that she must have cheated. As he walks away, she tells him that, in fact, she never heard of this planet key thing, she just wanted to race.
On the space bridge over Earth, Bud is having the time of his life, until a stray missile from the battle in England knocks them off the bridge.
Remainder of synopsis forthcoming.
Quotes
Bud: Aw, what a drag! Jolt: Is something wrong, Master Bud? Bud: I'm not a master, I told you that! Jolt: Right, sorry. Bud. Dude.
How come everyone thinks I'm going to mess up, just 'cause I like to drive fast? I'd never break Optimus's orders!
- —Hot Shot, who breaks orders before the sun sets.

Miscellaneous trivia
- On Velocitron, Brakedown, Crumplezone, Dirt Boss, and Ransack all summon cyber keys at various points in the episode. However, Override, during her (very close) race with Megatron, does not. Since she won anyway, one could hypothesize that she didn't feel it necessary.
