Attack of the Autobots

==Detailed synopsis==

A Decepticon sneak attack on [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]] is actually a diversion while [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] use a temporary [[invisibility spray]] to sneak inside. Megatron sabotages the Autobots’ recharging chamber with a personality destabilizer device. After the Autobots recharge the next day, they have a sudden change of heart and are now Decepticon slaves. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] obeys Megatron's first order and smashes [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]].

[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the only unaffected Autobots, are on their way back to Autobot HQ, with Jazz having Bumblebee do gymnastics in the process. Bumblebee makes it back first, and evil [[Bluestreak]] forces him into the recharging chamber. Jazz, [[Sparkplug Witwicky (G1)|Sparkplug]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] arrive and save Bumblebee from being brainwashed and knock Bluestreak unconscious. Sparkplug repairs Teletraan 1, who tells them that the rest of the Autobots are now evil!

All of this mess was started just so Megatron could steal a human solar energy satellite being launched the same day. The Decepticons take over the rocket base and plan to take the rocket and satellite back to Cybertron.

At headquarters, Sparkplug cooks up a bunch of attitude exchangers that will “First, drain evil. Second, recharge good.” He and Jazz round up Bluestreak, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] and change them back to good using the devices. Skyfire gives them a lift to the Air Force base, where they manage to change the rest of the Autobots, except for Optimus Prime. The devices pacify Prime's [[combat deck]] and [[Roller]], but Prime is still on a rampage. Bumblebee takes it upon himself to try and change the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] back by reminding him who he once was.  Prime is about to grab Bumblebee and crush him to death, until an ear screeching noise comes from the combat deck and Roller. This saves Bumblebee's life as it causes Prime to fight the drive of the personality destabiliser, collapsing to his knees in obvious agony.  Bumblebee watches and waits until Prime literally ''begs'' him for help, then attaches an attitude exhanger on him.  Optimus gives him a nice, big hug [[Image:Primebumblebeehug.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Bumblebee, from now on, you will be a Hugmaster!]], despite the fact Bumblebee, sort of, tortured him a bit.

Back at the rocket base, Megatron and the Decepticons have boarded the reprogrammed rocket and take off. The Autobots intercept them aboard Skyfire. Prime and Ratchet detach the satellite while Jazz uses a “musical sonic boom” to disable the rocket. The Decepticons abandon it without any further resistance and retreat. Skyfire takes everyone into space and Prime throws the solar satellite into orbit.

Finally back at headquarters, Prime thanks everyone for helping out, especially Bumblebee. But then Ratchet gets jealous and claims credit for firing the attitude exchangers (which was actually Hound's idea. Hmmm...). Jazz reminds everybody that they have to fix all of the jets that Optimus Prime smashed at the Air Force base. Spike breaks the tension with a lame joke that his dad finds hilarious and we fade to black.
