Synopsis

In an effort to secure fuel sources, the Decepticons attack a half-completed nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, an injured Autobot Bumblebee has been taken the garage of Sparkplug Witwicky by his son, Buster. They soon learn that what appears to be a Volkswagen Beetle is much more than he seems, as they find themselves right in the middle of a battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, who kidnap Sparkplug with hopes of forcing him to find a way of converting Earth's fuel resources into a form the Transformers can use.

Errors

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker began sharing their body molds sooner than most believe.

• At one point, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker's car modes are switched. When they transform, they share the same body model (Sideswipe's), although Sideswipe is sporting the "jet pack" seen on Sunstreaker's toy as he flies off. (This may be due to the uncertainty as to which toy represented which character, detailed here.)

Items of note
