Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2

Detailed synopsis

The episode recaps with Victor Carolli going over a recap of the events of part 1. Onto the start.

The episode begins with a marching band parading through the streets of Central City. Berger announces that today is Decepticon Day. Sparkplug and Chip immensely dislike the event. Chip says that its too late for spike to be searching for evidence to clear the Autobots names right now.

Back in a tape room, Spike finishes watching another tape showing the Decepticons as the real culprits behind it. He's about to leave when he meets Ravage. During a brief fight, in which Ravage slams into a TV screen, gets friend, smacked with an office chair and then finally gets buried under a shelf of video tapes (poor kitty), Spike makes his escape.

At a nearby high school disco, Soundwave makes an appearance. We see Rumble dancing as well as Ravage staring down some school girls and Laserbeak giving a real evil glare to a guy who's offering him a cracker.

In deep space, Cosmos is leading the rocket ship through space. Inside, Ironhide and Cliffjumper persude Prime to turn round and head back to Earth. After the ship doesn't respond to Cliffjumper's computing, Hound uses his shoulder scanner to pinpoint their desination...The SUN!. Cosmos is unable to link up with teletraan-1 as the rocket starts to overheat...along with the autobots inside. Cosmos comes aboard and starts working at the computer, but to no avail.

Inside the Nemesis, Megatron looks with glee as he watches the Autobots and their ship collide with the sun and explode. They then leave for a press conference.

Spike is with the mayor in his office and he shows the Mayor the tapes he's found. The mayor can't bring back the Autobots, but now..armed with the right evidence, spike and the mayor start a campaign to clear the autobots names.

At the Press Conference, Megatron reveals that he plans to conquer the planet and suck it dry of energy. He is now the marshal of earth and every will be made slaves and force to obtain energy for the decepticons. On a nearby screen, we see the Coneheads running amok through central city. Spike learns of the Autobot's destruction and escapes..but the tape of evidence is destroyed. Berger saves Spike from getting killed by Laserbeak, but their escape is short lived as they';re all captured by Megatron.

Back in space, the Autobots have been saved by Trailbreaker's forcefield. They're still attacehed to Cosmos, who's still heading towards the sun, since his actions are still controlled by Teltraan-1.

Back on earth, things are grim. All the humans have been enslaved by the decepticons and they;re being forced to mine energy from every available source. Berger got his reward...he too faced being cuffed and madr to work in a power plant. One night, Chip breaks out of the power plant and sneaks onboard a nearby truck. He heads for the Ark and works at Teletraan-1. He finds out that the Autobot rocket was destroyed. He's about to find out more when Thrust breaks into the ark. Thrust destroys Teletraan-1 and takes Chip back to the plant.

Cosmos then realises he's got control back and heads back to Earth. Back on earth, an air force rescue attempt is easily destroyed by the seekers and blitzwing. Megatron has the humans cornered, when the autobots arrive....

Optimus Prime assembles the entire 84 and 85 line to combat the decepticons and they win, heavilly damaging many, including the insecticons and constructicons. The Decepticons retreat because they've lost the advantage

The Mayor pardons the Autobots, while Berger is taken by the Authorities to face justice himself. With the decepticons defeated...the autobots transform and roll for home.
