The humans also decide to allow several researchers to bring their familes, to spend time on cybertron, one child of these familes stumbles in a abandoned factory which led him to the core of cybertron, that gives the child a chance to give his species the future.

In the present day, that same child now grown up, attempts to leave his home Ocean City, where he is caught by Hotshot, now in a new body no longer sporting his red and yellow flame color scheme, now he is back on earth, leader of the autobots on earth, the kid attempts to escape, as he claims he belongs at his town in San Francisco, but then his hair changes green, where he then detects energon, and believes he needs to do his job first.

As this happens in a caynon somewhere in Texas, a new autobot team called the omni-bots, led by Strongarm unearth some ore that is turned to be none other than energon.

In space, the scene cuts to a grey destroyed moon or asteroid with digusting slime, and junk parts all over the atmosphere, inside the moon, is organic walls and hallways, among them is the center of its core, some sort of coocoon or egg, releasing a silhouette of a robotic snake, that is freed, with a head inside its body, but then switches to another face upon noticing the area looking like junkyard, claiming that is with a doubt, Unicron!!!! The being calls its self, Alpha Quintesson, he soons realizes he now has the power to "rule again", soon enough he finds a machine center, and attempts to power it up, where he creates new soliders.

On Cybertron, Rad the friend to the autobots from transformers armada, receives a call from earth, where a teenage girl contacts Rad into getting her father that have found energon.

In another part of cybertron, reveals Jetfire as he watches, Scavenger train various autobots including a cadet named Ironhide. Ironhide attempts to defeat Scavenger by himself, but Scavenger warns him that he trainned and defeated Hotshot, to which Ironhide is already eagered to fight his former mentor, Ironhide manages to put up a fight but loses, Scavenger finishes classes, and tells Ironhide that Hotshot was also eagreed to get in some rounds with him too, Ironhide chuckles, admitting Hotshot is his idol and one day wishes to join by his side. Jetfire then meets up with his old friend, declaring it is a pleasure to see him continue train the future autobot warriors, Scavenger is glad to put his old body to use, he asks how's the leadership working, says its never better, but he's not talking about Jetfire, it is actually Hotshot, Jetfire for a second believes Hotshot has come a long way, from scrawny warrior to earth commander, Optimus would be more than happy, if he saw him, Scavenger admits Prime has always took the mantle seriously, but some how he'll return soon. That's where go to space, where Optimus Prime has been granted asylum on new planet, the inhabants question when he'll return to his people, Prime admits its been too long, but believes he doesn't need to be a leader any more, his autobots he says have done great work in his absence, the aliens do not believe he is honest with himself, but Prime admits he doesn't want to be left with the burden of his rash actions, where he admits Unicron has truly brought out the worst in him. But Optimus admits, maybe he should see them again, and decides to make a stop to cybertron.

Back on earth, in Ocean City, a decepticon called Demolisher mutters to himself how it has been boring and dull during the times of peace, he admits the decepticons were once the greatest destroyers of space, determined to make any world their kingdom, and Demolisher stares in the sky imaging his old leader Megatron, wondering why he really thought teaming with Prime was a good decision? His daydream is interrupted when he recieves an alarm, wondering what's going on, a large unison squad of autobots return with large amounts of energon, Demolisher watches as the autobots enter the city, with a very emotionless expression, and goes with them.

Inside the remains of Unicron, the quintesson manages to activate several cameras from space, one of the cameras shows, earth where camera focuses to energon, noticing its aura make Alpha glee, he then hears a glow sound where he finds his latest batch of new warriors ready for action!!! In cyber city, Hotshot learns from the Omn-bots that the latest energon should be enough to rebuild Iacon, and Central City's resvoir stations, Kicker then dectects something, as he rushes, Hotshot gives chase, and tries to grab Kicker, then he points him to fire at the sky? Hotshot admits this not the time for games, Kicker hits him (hurting him too), and tells Hotshot fire a blast, to which he does and the sky explodes, with Falcons materlizing, but not just any falcon, robotic falcons!!!!

Soon more of these falcon bots emerge and release out missiles that sends Kicker flying and hurt. Hotshot, summons several autobots, Inferno, Demolisher, and Skyblast to help situation but in their current roster isn't enough, Hotshot calls Jetfire to spare him some autobots, Ironhide, along with several of the autobot cadets to assist, Ironhide admits that this isn't his first rodeo but can help out in any way, Scavenger decides to help out too since he's their teacher. The autobots from cybertron arrive to give Hotshot cover fire. Kicker is wounded, but however Jetfire fires at him, red aura ribbon covers his body with a new suit, protecting him from any attacks. Kicker awakes and is asked if he's okay by Jetfire, but Kicker doesn't respond with the kindest attitude telling them to continue the pressure on those falcons. Kicker leads Jetfire to what he thinks is main focus of these beast machines, and then finds the source of these beasts and fires an emp disabling the main target, Kicker admits it was a lucky guess, but the color of the main falcon is different. All of the falcons disappear, with that the day is one, and the falcon is brought in to question, the episode ends with Alpha Quintesson angry that his or their plan didn't work, luckily for him another camera picks up giant transformer called Tidal Wave on a new planet, Alpha snarks that he already has a new plan in motion, but without the terrorcon Divebomb will be harder to find a way to convince the decepticon, but then he decides to improvise creating a transformer based on specs on that of decepticon biology.
