Plot

In Ocean City, a voice narrates the transformers have been under attack by a new threat, and the autobot scientists: Red Alert and Strongarm begin a study on their new attackers.

Jetfire congratules Kicker for giving pointers on how to stop these enemies, still Jetfire admits these attackers are somewhat different than any transformer seen, and is glad they are not decepticons, Demolisher argues with Jetfire if they were decepticons and he could've killed them anways, with Jetfire telling Demolisher to back off that are supposed to one united race, their argument is interupted when Strongarm confirms the attackers are of transformer origin, but something else, called Terrorcons, they some how have the ability to dectect energon anywhere within the area. Despite this information, Jetfire still questions what exactly are these new transformers doing here, especially when they are trying to make peace with the decepticons. Ironhide asks Kicker how did he know of the terrorcons showing up to the city, Kicker admits his times on cybertron gave him "powers", he explains to Ironhide, before he got reinstated to earth, Kicker and his family visited cybertron, Kicker got lost in a damaged building which lead him power facility, somewhat giving these abilites to dectect transformers and energon as well. Since he turned 12, he has been used by his father as a guinea pig in some way.

Back with Tidal Wave, he awakes in a cave with metal wires, and walls, then he hears a eery voice welcoming him back. Tidal Wave turns around and sees a strange figure.

On Cybertron, Hotshot learn on Dabola that there is a lot of destruction but luckily the caulisties are not high, still the wherabouts of Tidal Wave remain unknown, Hotshot recieves a call from earth, where Jetire recaps him that the same attackers of earth are also responsible for such chaos on Dabola, but Hotshot questions what is the grand purpose of these worldwide attacks? Suddenly Hotshot gets another report from the council of Iacon that Kaon, has just recently being under attack.

In space, on another planet reveals Optimus Prime, somehwhat found a world to live, thinking of his last fight with Megatron, an alien resident asks him if something is troubling him, Prime admits his fight with Megatron has continued to haunt him, admitting after everything he has went through the fights with Megatron with the minicons and the liberation of cybertron, Megatron instead became the savior, however the resident did tell one thing, that he should go back for his friends, with Optimus admitting he has visted cybertron several times, and believes they do not need him as a leader anymore and they have accomplished a lot in his absence, regardless he should go back as they do not just need a leader but merely a friend.

In the remains of a energon factory on Kaon, Hotshot arrives along with several autobot guards. Hoist who was in charge of the factory, naviagates them to all of the destruction, Hoist and Hotshot some what reuite and the guards discovers some interesting left over markings, including a new strange symbol.

Several battle cuts and gun prints indicate it is different than any transformer weaponry, even some what different than minicon powerlinx weapons. Hoist deduces these attackers could be the same ones from earth and Dabola. At first Hoist thought it was decepticon stragglers from the streets looking to steal energon, but instead finds it odd, why are these transformers are here?

In space, Optimus Prime activates his space ship, and sets course for cybertron and thanks the residents for allowing to stay, but knows where his place is again.

On earth, Kicker watches a group of omnicons construct a protective object for energon, an energon star Red Alert comments, Kicker wonders the purpose there is for energon being transferred to a star, Red Alert mentions how energon is very rare, on their planet it can be contained, but on other worlds like earth here, they believe it is somewhat unstable as according to him the energon is different on each world. Kicker also asks why they need the energon so much, Ironhide tells Kicker rudely that energon is their lifeblood and without it, they would've been extinct, only thanks to the minicons they were some able to survive in the war on cybertron, Red Alert backs down Ironhide, with Kicker okay with his tough talk.

Jetfire recieves a transmission of the attack on cybertron, Hotshot has already told the council but it seems they are some what not truly convinced of these attacks on cybertron are related, despite the evidence. Jetfire admits three planets have been attacked similtonuesslely, as if, the terrorcons knew the planets were their main supplies of energon and wanted to get the transformers off balance, Jetfire decides he wants to return to cybertron to fully show the council of the terrorcons. Hotshot still thinks it would be enough to construct plantery defenses, rather than having three main leaders to wait for future invasions. Jetfire agrees, but then Ironhide arrives, along with Inferno and Strongarm. Ironhide begs Jetfire that he'd like to meet Hotshot again, with Jetfire remarking that is not spectator sport here, Jetfire leaves Scavenger in charge, while Inferno, Strongarm and Red Alert, are commanded to go to Iacon.

On Cybertron, Hotshot and Jetfire arrive to the Council of Iacon, and report to them that they're attackers are of different transformer origin, including a new symbol of their opressors, the council seems invested in their attempts at stopping them with Jetfire deciding on additonal planetary defenses, perhaps creating new protective armor, the council believes they should perhaps look for logical defenses and un-predicable attacks of their attacks rather than waiting for their opponents to strike, Hotshot admits they have looked into the terrorcon corpses, and are still scratching the surface into learning of their goals. Hotshot's chest then starts to glow, with the council noticing, Hotshot opens his chest and notices the matrix glow, Jetfire questions why the Matrix is glowing all of a sudden?

As this happens, Optimus's space ship has entered cybertron's atmosphere, but before he can call for a drop zone to enter, a portal emits within him, and a large laser, fires at his ship, sending him crashing to the planet surface, more and more portals emit, the terrorcons have returned to Cybertron, with one of the terrocons announcing an assault!!
