No Way Back!



Optimus Prime attempts to send the Mini-Cons to Cybertron for safekeeping.

Synopsis
Despite the misgivings of both the humans and the Mini-Cons, Optimus Prime has decided to send Sparkplug Jolt, Longarm, Highwire, Grindor and Sureshock to Autobase: Cybertron for protection rather than allow them to be drawn into their war with the Decepticons.

However, Megatron has no intention of letting hsi ambulatory joy-juice slip through his fingers, and attacks the temporary space bridge the Autobots set up. In the confusion, Rad, Carlos and Alexis temporarily trick Megatron into believing the Mini-Con had exited through the gateway — believing that without them Megatron would leave Earth. When he boasts that he has no intention of leaving until he's enslaved every Mini-Con lost ont his world, the concealed Sparkplug has had enough. He Powerlinks to Optimus Prime, declaring his intention to stay and fight with the Autobots. Jolt and Longarm do the same.

Seeing no more tactical advantage in fighting, Megatron destroys the Autobot space bridge, trapping the Mini-Cons on Earth, here, and retreats. He will capture them another day.
