Detailed Synopsis
Unicron stands, his body surrounded by a energy, destroying any ships that come close to him. While Galvatron orders his forces to retreat to a save distance, Thrust sits on Unicron's shoulder, laughing at the feeble efforts to defeat his new god.

The Autobots and Decepticons try to determine how their armies could possibly defeat Unicron. Unicron suddenly takes action and prepares to attack the abandoned planetside. Hot Shot and Wheeljack lead some fighter planes, hoping to interrupt Unicron. While the fighters can't harm Unicron, they focus on Thrust.

The Cybertronian army's scanners finally detect a weak point on Unicron's neck. A plan is formed, giving Galvatron the opportunity to personally confront Thrust. Thrust stands on Unicron's shoulder, and notices that Unicron is making no responses to any advisement - he questions that perhaps the web of lies he had constructed might have been a mistake, be assured himself that Unicron is the right way. At this point, his sanity is clearly in question.

Optimus and Galvatron realize that they key to defeating Unicron lies within the Mini-Cons inside of Unicron. At the same time, the kids come to a similar conclusion. Before the plans are put into action, Unicron fires his massive energy cannon, blasting a very, very large portion out of Cybertron's landscape. Before Unicron fires again, Optimus and Galvatron commence their own attack, leaving their armies under the command of Hot Shot. The final war on Unicron begins. the Hydra Cannon positioned to use it's force field to block the blast that could tear another chunk out of Cybertron.

Galvatron confronts Thrust. Thrust gloats,procliming the destruction of Cybertron is inevitable. But seconds after professing his desire to see Galvatron destroyed, Thrust's bounces into a a quickly closing crack in Unicron's armor. Squeezeds, he begs Galvatron for held, before he is inevitably popped like a pathetic zit.

The Hydra Cannon's shields give up, letting Unicron's powerful blast head towards Cybertron's core, but before it makes contact, the glowing green Mini-Cons rush to block the shot. Before Unicron closes the panels that cover his cannon, Optimus and Galvatron sneak inside.

The Street Action Team announce they plan on going inside of Unicron too. The kids and Red Alert decided they're going along to help. The Mini-Cons outside combine into a massive green mirror of Unicron, who protects the kids long enough to sneak through the underground warp gate, but while the kids sneak through the gate in time, Red Alert is left buried in rubble.

With Optimus and Galvatron at Unicron's core, the kids and the Street Action Team are elsewhere in Unicron. Unicron battles the Mini-Con mirror of himself, while a combined army of Autobots and Decepticons engage one final assault.

Quotes

 * Galvatron: Once we get inside Unicron, we're going to rescue _all_ the Mini-Cons.
 * Fred: Ahh, you're the greatest!
 * Galvatron: ...what?
 * Fred: uhh.. and.. you're really the greatest too, Galvatron.
 * Galvatron: HA HA HA, ahh, that's what I like to hear!


 * Fred: Unicron is going to blast us! I don't want to get blasted on an empty stomache!

*fwosh* *dung* *bonk* *pop*
 * Galvatron: You'll pay for this betrayal, Thrust. I'm angry. And do you remember how I get when I'm angry?
 * Thrust: You don't scare me anymore, Galvatron. Unlike you, I've learned to chose my allies wisely. You're nothing but a bad joke. What were you thinking, joining forces with Optimus Prime and the Autobots? He's your enemy, Remember? Did you expect me to grovel in frought of you? Neah, Not likely. I have no need for you, all we did was fight one meaningless battle after another. What was the point? You wanted to control the Mini-Cons, and the universe. But, we know that will never happen now, you lost control of the Decepticons, so what kind of leaders does that make you if you can't manage your own kind? A pretty poor one if you ask me.
 * Thrust: Unicron is completely different, he's enormous, and totally invincible. And with someone like me to advise him on issues of importance, like which planets to devour, and whose solar system to enslave, I see no reason why we shouldn't have a successful partnership.
 * Galvatron: You always did like the sound of your own voice.
 * Thrust: I can't wait until Unicron blasts you to pieces, and I scatter your dust all over the universe! Ahahah!
 * Thrust: Galvatron, I didn't mean what I said! Please, save me, please!
 * Galvatron: I have to go meet Optimus Prime, I'll give you two choices. Either I shoot you here and now, or you free yourself and get out on your own. And if you do, there will be nowhere to hide.
 * Thrust: Galvatron, you can't just leave me here, please...
 * Galvatron:Thrust, if you dare to have dreams of power. You will be consumed by them


 * Tidal Wave: Let's get it on!
 * Blurr: This is one crazy team.
