Optimus Prime and Bumblebee must stop the Decepticons from converting Earth's fossil fuels into energon.
Synopsis
Somewhere in the dessert, a bunny is having a typical day, until Optimus Prime and Bumblebee came racing past it almost running it over. They were called by a Decepticon energy beacon in a remote location in the desert. On there way, Optimus and Bumblebee are having a discution that it's to bad that humans do not know yet how to convert energy into energon. Once they got close, they transformed and noticed that Cyclonus and Megatron are pumping up oil! Optimus warns bumblebee to be careful, and Bumblebee notes that's his middle name...if he had one. Meanwhile, Cyclonus fires on the bunny showing its discust for it, but Megatron acts annoyed that Cyclonus is even willing to waste energy on it, Cyclonus humbly agrees with his master. Bumblebee and prime speculate why Megatron is even interested in it, untill they note that he could convert it into energon! Bumblebee wants to go into battle head first, but Optimus stops him, and notes that a diversion might be better... And thus they blow up the truck. Megatron orders Cyclonus to put out the flames before the fuel catches fire. But before he could do that, Bumblebee drops out of the sky and attacks him with a giant guitar, making Cyclonus slightly annoyed, distracting him enough so that Prime could knock him out with his Ion axe. With one down, Bumblebee and Prime turned there attention to Megatron, who notes that they came to late, and that he collected enough energy from earth. Megatron transforms his arms into a giant cannon and blasts into there direction but misses, instead blowing up the gas station. Megatron curses, and swears that he would wipe the Autobots from the face of the earth, even if it would be the last thing he would ever do. Optimus and Bumblebee have a motivating speech in front of the burning Gas station on how the Decepticons can never win. They transform, and leave the burning gas station behind, almost running over the bunny again.

Notes
- The character models in this cartoon are a bizarre mix of live action movie style bodies with "classic" heads and colorations. Megatron's cannon blast is even lifted from his live-action namesake's double-arm cannon-blast move.
- Whenever Bumblebee speaks, there is an intermittent radio interference sound effect over his otherwise clear voice. This may be an odd reference to his live-action movie counterpart's speech impediment.
- So the "diversion", the alternative to just letting Bumblebee charge into battle... is to let Bumblebee just charge into battle. Okay.
- Optimus Prime implies that Cybertron has fossil fuels too, which (almost certainly accidentally) matches the Beast Machines theme that it had once hosted organic life.
- Optimus Prime transforms into an entirely red version of his live action movie truck. But his robot mode is very similar to Generation 1 Prime's robot mode.
- Bumblebee has creepy eyes that extend from his face like Bender from Futurama.
- Megatron's jet mode is just Cyclonus's, but colored silver.
- The ending music is taken from either Transformers: Energon or the commercials therefor.
- This whole video is just plain weird.
