It is revealed that the spark within Scorponok is not actually that of the grand chamberlain of Planet Q - his spark was completely extinguished in his last act of sacrifice. Alpha Q instead used the wandering Spark of a Decepticon recreate Scorponok, programming to act and think the way the real Scorponok did.
Recap episode. Megatron escapes into a black hole and Optimus Prime decides to give chase, even though he doesn’t know what he will find on the other side. Kicker joins his Autobot friends on their mission and pilots the Miranda II into the black hole. Meanwhile back on Earth, Dr. Jones monitors the situation and ignores the government agents who want to speak with him about his involvement with Earth’s Energon reserves.
Using Unicron, Megatron has discovered a powerful source of energy: Super Energon. By immersing himself in the liquid, he is transformed into Galvatron, with a new purple armor which makes him impervious to all forms of firepower. Doing this, he awakens the guardians of the Energon, who chose to join him- Constructicon and Bruticus Maximus. However, the third guardian, Superion Maximus, escapes so he sends his new minions after him.
Carlos reports the locators on the two Terrorcons have concluded that the enemy has two bases (Megatron and Alpha Q), while Megatron's plan doesn't succeed as Team Rodimus comes to rescue Scorponok. After the report, Dr. Jones is unveiling a new starship to increase Energon production, named the Miranda II. Optimus reveals their mission is twofold: they are also going to destroy Unicron, and they prepare to set up a space bridge.
While Snow Cat tests his Hyper Power against the Energon Grid, Megatron decides to go after Alpha Q instead of Earth after finding a Terrorcon spy. On Earth, the Autobots celebrate the Energon Grid, but Optimus calls a conference, telling him the Autobots will have to move their battle into space to defeat Unicron and the Decepticons.
Megatron has taken yet another plan, to create three meteors from Unicron and propel them at Earth before the Energon grid has been completed. Dr. Jones notices Desert City's Energon tower has a fault, rendering the Energon Grid useless. Meanwhile, the meteors enter Earth's atmosphere, but one is destroyed by Rodimus, aided by more mysterious Blackout drones.
Alpha Q prepares to bring Unicron to life, while yet another Energon Tower is secured into place. Below the city, Kicker searches for more Energon with Ironhide, but has trouble because of a similar experience during his childhood. In turn, Ironhide tells Kicker about a legendary transformer named Rodimus, who was an inspirational leader that rallied a group of Autobots to escape the war and create a new world.
After seeing what Megatron did to Hot Shot, the Autobots end up in a stand off with the Decepticons. Megatron taunts Optimus Prime but allows the Autobots to withdraw without a skirmish. Back at Ocean City, Hot Shot is lowered into an Energon pool for repairs while the Omnicons begin making duplicates of Megatron’s sword. A space bridge is detected near the city and the Autobots fly into action.
At various Cyber Cites the Transformers have set up defensive traps to stop the Terrorcons from stealing Energon. It appears the Autobots have won as their enemies retreat, but as they head back to regroup, Cyclonus, Tidal Wave and Scorponok begin to bicker around Megatron who still lies in his coma. Suddenly, he begins to come to life. Scorponok is outraged at this and whines to Megatron about him stealing all the Energon for himself.
