Synopsis
The Trainbots arrive on Earth via the Space bridge with Daniel and the Headmasters of Justice on board. They dive into the ocean, much to Daniel's amusement. It seems that the Decepticons are out to steal energy beneath the ocean at a break in the Earth's crust.
They are, of course, correct as Skullcruncher, Rippersnapper and a slew of Sharkticons have an ambush ready and waiting for them. That ambush consists of a...giant robot squid. Huh.
The squid grabs the Trainbots with its many tentacles and begins sucking their energy. As Skullcruncher celebrates a sure win, Daniel jumps in his Exosuit and joins the Autobot Headmasters in their underwater attack. As they beat the unsuspecting Skullcruncher over the head, the Trainbots transform to robot mode and separate, thus ripping many of the squid's tentacles off.
The Trainbots then combine into Raiden as the Headmasters tie the squid up into a knot with its remaining tentacles. Grabbing one loose tentacle, Raiden then swings the balled-up squid at the Decepticons like a mace, defeating them.

Notes
- Giant robot squids previously appeared on Quintessa in The Transformers: The Movie. Considering Quintessa was destroyed in "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2", it's a wonder where the Decepticons got ahold of this one. Either they're indiginous to multiple planets or...the Decepticons just built it for themselves. Whatever.
