Omega Supreme (episode)

Megatron begins to activate Unicron, and Omega Supreme joins the Autobots to try and stop him.

Summary
Deep within Cybertron, Dr. Jones is shocked to find himself in the chamber of Omega Supreme, the legendary guardian of energon. Omega activates.

A second later, on Planet Cybertron, Rad and Dr. Jones contact Optimus Prime about Omega. In deep space, Wing Saber flies through a strange void and an asteroid storm to find the hulking remains of Unicron, regenerating by absorbing energy from the void. He reports this to the Autobots. Prime responds by requesting more energon towers from Dr. Jones.

Megatron demands that his troops bring more energon to continue refueling Unicron. The Autobots prepare to move out to stop the revival.

Alpha Q prepares to protect his planets by re-energizing them with energon.

As the Miranda 2 lifts off, Optimus fills the others in on Omega Supreme's history: eons ago, he fought Unicron. Kicker hopes that he might know how to beat him now, but Rodimus is pessimistic: waiting for Omega might give Megatron the extra time he needs.

One of Alpha Q's planets suddenly explodes, and Scorponok leads a horde of Terrorcons in to gather energon from the fragments. The other Decepticons note that Shockblast isn't with them -- turns out he's still lurking within Unicron. The Miranda arrives and attacks. Lots of lasers fly around without hitting anyone. Scorponok takes the Terrorcons into retreat; many escape despite the Autobots' efforts. The Autobots pursue, all the way back to Unicron's body, as the Terrorcon unload the energon.

Within, Shockblast's lurking is discovered by Megatron, but he bluffs through it. Megatron needs only a few more moments to revive Unicron. Optimus goes hunting for him.

Megatron starts moving Unicron's hand to crush the Autobots, and they retreat. Under heavy fire, the Autobots suddenly observe a glowing light which defeats the Terrorcons. It's Omega Supreme! Starscream and Scorponok try their hand, but are defeated. Omega and Optimus go to back up the other Autobots.

On the Miranda 2, the humans detect the incoming energon towers, being guided in by the reformatted Inferno, now calling himself Roadblock. The (7 or so) Autobots are trapped by the (3??) Decepticons, but retreat with the arrival of the energon towers. The hundreds of towers are sent hurtling at Unicron by Omega Supreme, attaching themselves to his abdomen and causing explosions.

The entire monster growls, glows, and moves, and Megatron gloats that Unicron can't be defeated that easily. He wants the energon orb, and the Autobots must stop him.

Dr. Jones: "Huh?" Rad: "Uh?" Optimus Prime: "This is Optimus Prime... We've detected your transmission. Come in, Rad!" Rad: "Hey, it's Optimus!" Optimus Prime: "We'd better hurry so we don't lose the connection." Dr. Jones: "I agree with Optimus. ...        Okay, Rad, see if you're able to compress the signal." Rad:"Right."

Continuity errors

 * The last ep ended with Dr. Jones ecstatically babbling out loud about the Omega Supreme chamber. This episode starts with him walking into the chamber and abruptly going "Where am I?"
 * For all the enormous fuss over Omega Supreme's arrival and significance, including Omega himself solemnly declaring "IT IS TIME", he really doesn't do much in this episode.
