Synopsis

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

While scale problems are hardly remarkable in Transformers fiction by this point, it should be noted that Cybertron frequently shows a penchant for oversized robot modes, with your average human frequently shown to be barely the size of your average robot mode car-bot's wheel. It's best seen in this episode, with the humans helping to repair the future Cybertron Defense Team shown as practically insect-sized compared to the Autobots.

This episode introduces the fourth opening sequence and "IGNITION - イグニッション!" as the second opening song for Galaxy Force. Comprised of mostly a montage that spoils some future events (such as what'll happen in this episode), it also reused some sequences from the third opening sequence.

Also introduced is the second ending sequence and "Growing up!!" as the second ending song in Galaxy Force, with the various Transformers in grouped together within their factions, some groupings representing the relationship between each other (such as Megatron and Starscream). Several characters are blacked out, due to them not having appeared yet.
