Summary

Part 1

TFA TransWarped Shockwave

Shockwave is totally faceless

An Autobot base under attack by Team Chaar. The base is being defended by the crew of Rodimus Prime. Cyclonus flies out from a cloud of smoke and knocks over Brawn, Ironhide, and Hot Shot. Ironhide rises and sees Strika and Oil Slick coming over the horizon. Strika begins shooting and Ironhide activates his indestructible armor, shielding his team from the blast. Brawn picks up a boulder, hurling it at the oncoming Decepticons, which has no effect. Strika begins shooting at Hot Shot, who back flips away from the shots. At the same time, Hot Shot activates his arm torches, burning away the incoming fire. A random blast hits him though, sending him to the ground. He calls for Red Alert after his leg was bady injured, who tells him that the damage is too severe to repair. She says she’ll have to amputate. However, before she can commence the procedure, she is sucked up by Spittor and then spat back out at Ironhide and Brawn. Rodimus Prime appears atop the Space Bridge and calls the Elite Guard for backup. Jazz tells Rodimus to try to hold out a little longer. Rodimus informs him that he doesn’t know how much longer he can keep Team Chaar from taking over the Space Bridge. At that moment, Longarm Prime appears on the Elite Guard’s viz screen, assuring Ultra Magnus that the Cybertron Space Bridge nexus is fully guarded and secure. Once Longarm ends the transmission, he transforms back into Shockwave. Back on the Autobot base, Rodimus shoots Strika and orders Brawn and Ironhide to fall back and defend the Space Bridge. But before they can reach the Space Bridge, they’re hit with an oil slick and slashed at by Cyclonus. Spittor lands behind Rodimus and tries to digest him, but Rodimus kicks and shoots Spittor’s tentacles. At the moment, Blackout lands behind Rodimus and hits him with a shockwave. An angry Strika warns Blackout that they need the Space Bridge operational. Blackout apologizes and reactivates the Space Bridge.

TFA TransWarped Rodimus Prime Cosmic Rust

Rodimus Prime got offline.

Rodimus rises and tells the Decepticons they have to get past him, first. Oil Slick insults him and throws a vial of Cosmic rust on him. Strika uses the Space Bridge to contact Shockwave and request the access codes in order to transwarp to Cybertron. Shockwave denies her request, telling her that she and her team must wait for Megatron to first arrive on Cybertron. An angry Strika tells Shockwave he was supposed to be there megacycles ago.

Starscream mouthblast

IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR

The scene switches to deep space where Megatron and the Starscream head are floating. Megatron berates Starscream that his failure has reached astronomical proportions. Starscream gets angry about this and activates his Sonic Scream, unlocking Megatron’s Stasis Cuffs. Suddenly, Omega Supreme appears behind them. Starscream, thinking Omega’s online, urges him not to fire at him. Megatron flies up to Omega’s face, discovering he’s offline.

Transwarped protosari 01

Let's hope this liquid metal isn't acidic

The scene switches to Earth, where Sari is angrily waiting for Issac Sumdac to explain her robotic parts. Issac explains that he doesn’t know where she came from and that in the past, after he touched a mysterious liquid-metal body, she appeared. We next see Sari and Issac riding to the top of Sumdac Tower, after Sari finds the story hard to believe. When they get there after her strained patience reaches its end, they see that Porter C. Powell and Henry Masterson are running Sumdac Systems. Powell tries to smooth things over with Isaac, but Masterson's belligerent attitude dispels any attempts at peace, which is further ruined when he demands the Autobots return his Headmaster, or "heads will roll." Having entered the lab from the elevator behind them, Optimus picks up Masterson and asks for clarification on his threat. Isaac immediately fires both Powell and Masterson, but Masterson refuses to vacate the premises, and Powell takes another shot at Sari's disputed parentage.

TFA TransWarped Pt1 Sari Freakout

Unlimited energy!

In a moment of anger, Sari's hands transform into energy projectors that hurls Powell and Masterson into the elevator. Sari then announces she’s going to stay with her "fellow machines". While at the Autobot base, Sari tells the Autobots she just can’t stay with Isaac. Optimus tells her it was possible Isaac found a liquid-metal body in his lab. Prowl asks if Optimus just said liquid-metal body and speeds off. He passes Bumblebee and Bulkhead, knocking them off balance. Bumblebee says it’s useless trying to contact Cybertron without Teletraan 1. And they don’t have Teletraan 1, because they don’t have a ship. Ratchet tells Bumblebee they didn’t lose just a ship, they lost a friend. The scene switches to one of Ratchet’s flashbacks. Ultra Magnus asks Ratchet if the intel-bot gave him any information. Ratchet informs Ultra Magnus that her name was Arcee. Ultra Magnus said he was aware of that. The two enter a room where Highbrow and Mainframe are waiting. Ultra Magnus urges Ratchet to try to revive her memory, by performing open processor surgery.

TFA Blurr Skywarp Cemented

Why do you always think of bringing me here in the first place

Blurr, Thundercracker, and Skywarp are somewhere in deep space. Skywarp keeps complaining about Mixmaster's cement. Blurr gets tired of the complaining and gives Skywarp a lecture about it. After Thundercracker uses sonic pulses to break the cement, he attempts to kill Blurr. He chases Blurr into space,with Blurr eventually ecsaping into space after kicking him in the face while running.

TFA Thundercracker Kicked in face

That's going to hurt in my superior morning!

We return to Earth, where The Headmaster is at the mines, looking for his Headmaster unit. He eventually finds it, declaring payback. After he discovers his unit, he finds the beat-up body of Starscream.

We return to deep space, where Megatron boards the offline Omega Supreme. He pulls out his swords, just before Omega Supreme springs to life. He grabs Megatron and rips off his arm blaster and takes his swords. Megatron then tricks Omega into thinking Megatron's his prisoner. Megatron tries to trick Omega into locating a Space Bridge and transwarping him to Cybertron. Omega agrees, and transwarps. But when they arrive at the destination, it is not Cybertron.

The scene switches back to Earth, where Bumblebee and Bulkhead are looking for Space Bridge parts at the mines. Bumblebee finds a Retrivial generator and asks if that's what they were looking for. Bulkhead says no and that they were looking for a Plasma Dynamic Thruster. Bumblebee finds it and Bulkhead tells him to put it aside. Bumblebee blows the dust off it and gets quite a surprise, after he blows off the dust, the Plasma Dynamic Thruster activates and Bumblebee transwarps. After Bumblebee transwarps, Bulkhead turns around, asking to see the Thruster. He realizes Bumblebee's gone, and hears the sound of jets over the hill. He looks over the hill and sees The Headmaster, now attached to Starscream. The Headmaster hits Bulkhead with a number of laser blasts, and covers him with rocks.

At Sumdac Tower, Prowl shadows Sumdac into his laboratory, quickly accesses his computers, and scans the scientist in an attempt to learn more about Sari's origins. Ratchet is having distinctly less luck back at the Autobot base, where Sari refuses to let him perform an exploratory surgery. The whole unpleasant affair reminds Ratchet of his past on Cybertron, when he performed open-processor surgery on Arcee and discovered she was carrying the codes that were key to the creation of Omega Supreme. Prime snaps Ratchet out of his flashback with the news that he cannot contact Bumblebee and Bulkhead, and Ratchet heads out to the mine to investigate.

TFA Transforming Headmaster with Starscream Body

Another one bites the dust

While the other Autobots are busy, Optimus tries to get Sari to talk to her father. Sari denies him, and Optimus gives Isaac Sumdac a call, telling him that he and Sari were going to the Burger Bot. When Sari and Optimus arrive, Sari gets angry for setting her up and refuses to talk to him. Unfortunately, the Headmaster soon arrives, having picked up Prime's phone call through bugs left in Sumdac Tower, and threatens to unleash t0t47 0wN4ge!

Part 2

Optimus Prime engages the Headmaster, binding him with his grapplers and dragging him around the Burger Bot parking lot before taking a moment to usher the Sumdacs to safety behind a dumpster. The fight carries the two combatants to an overhead roadway and back, with the Headmaster eventually downing Prime with a slab of concrete. Sumdac is forced to take action, and he hides Sari within the dumpster so that he can draw the Headmaster's attention and keep her safe. Touched by this, Sari unleashes her energy projectors on the Headmaster in defence of her father, though they do little to the villain other than draw his attention. Prime rejoins the battle just in time, ramming the villain in truck mode and goading the Headmaster into trying to transform Starscream's body as well. Infuriated by Prime's claim that a n00b such as he would find it difficult, the Headmaster tries to meet the challenge... only to find his Headmaster unit squeezed clean off Starscream's body by the transformation process. As Starscream's lifeless carcass spirals off into the river, the Headmaster is apprehended by Prime and handed over to Captain Fanzone. Surprisingly, Sari and Issac start talking again. Inside Sumdac Tower, Prowl reveals his findings to Prime, Sari and Sumdac: He believes that the body Sumdac found in his lab was, in fact, a Cybertronian protoform that scanned Professor Sumdac's genetic data. Sari takes the revelation in stride, although everyone else remains mystified as to how a protoform wound up on Earth in the first place. There is no time to dwell on the subject, however, as Ratchet radios Prime to inform him of Bulkhead's injuries and Bumblebee's disappearance.

Out in space, Omega Supreme re-emerges from TransWarp, and his systems all power down, having been sapped of energy by the effort of the teleport. Megatron attempts to escape from the confines of the giant Autobot's body, but without his weapons, he is unable. Starscream's new sonic blaster is similarly ineffective, and Megatron instead schemes to take control of Omega's very body.

Blurr crush transwarped

"I can't catch you- but I can trap you."

The scene switches back to Shockwave. Surprising to Shockwave, the entire Space Bridge Nexus shuts down. He transforms into Longarm and contacts Cybertron Command and asks what's going on. Cliffjumper answers and tells Longarm the Space Bridge network has been shut down. Behind Longarm, an out-of-breath Blurr arrives. He tells Longarm he's found out The spy is the Decepticon Shockwave and not Wasp. A nervous Longarm asks if Blurr has shared the information, and Blurr says no. Then, Shockwave tries to crush Blurr and shoot him. Blurr escapes into a tunnel, but Shockwave traps the agent and closes in the walls, seemingly crushing Blurr to death.

Wheeljack perceptor transwarped

...I'm sorry, what? I was trying to figure out what he was saying.

Back on Earth, Ratchet is mending Bulkhead. Sari runs in and accidentally blasts some of Ratchet's tools. Ratchet feels indignant when Sari uses her key to mend Bulkhead and enters another one of his flashbacks. Ratchet is in the middle of Open Proccessor Surgery on Arcee. Suddenly Arcee connects to Ratchet, giving him the access codes. Highbrow tells Ultra Magnus and Ratchet to transform and roll out. They enter a room where Ratchet first sees the in-construction Omega Supreme. Highbrow, Ultra Magnus, and Ratchet board an elevated platform and meet two scientists, Perceptor and Wheeljack. Perceptor explains that Ratchet must lean in close to Omega Supreme and activate him, and Ratchet does so. While Sari goes to work on Bulkhead's injuries, the sullen medic is overtaken by his memories; he recalls the creation of Omega Supreme and how he was partnered with the newborn titan to serve as his mentor, teacher and friend. Ratchet is roused from his unpleasant trip down memory lane when discussion turns to the whereabouts of Bumblebee, and before long, Bulkhead figures out that the plasma dynamic thruster has TransWarped Bumblebee off across the galaxy. Bulkhead suggests using a retrieval beacon generator recovered from the mine ruins to pinpoint Bumblebee's location, and Sari uses her Key to fix it before Ratchet can even begin examining it. Aboard Omega Supreme, Megatron uses his stasis cuffs to "hotwire" Omega's body and bring it back online. However, when the light from Omega's "headlights" falls upon a nearby asteroid, Megatron and Starscream are shocked to see the rock react to the light, transforming into a humanoid monster that immediately attacks the ship! As more asteroids transform around him, Omega transwarps away to safety...only for Bumblebee, cruising on the tail end of Omega's TransWarp field, to materialize in his place, right in the midst of the Rock Lords! The largest creature swallows the tiny Autobot with a single gulp.

Outside, Bulkhead picks up a transwarp signal and brings Bumblebee back. Unfortunately, he's inside a giant asteroid monster. Said asteroid monster proceeds to destroy Detroit. Simultaneously, on Earth, Bulkhead locks in on Bumblebee's position and teleports him back, but the Rock Lord he is inside comes with him and is immediately driven to a rampage by the blinding light of the Sun. Optimus Prime detects Bumblebee's signature within the creature, and the Autobots prepare to give chase as the alien stomps off through the city. Prowl is rather taken aback to see Ratchet wearing his EMP generator on his arm once more, while Prime has to deal with Sari's demands that she be allowed to join them in the fight now that she has powers. Prime refuses, and the Autobots zoom off after the rock monster, but Sari won't take no for an answer and is struck with inspiration: Give herself an upgrade! Sari concentrates, and a port opens in her chest, into which she inserts her Key...and in an explosion of energy, Sari's whole body transforms into a taller, older form, suited in combat armor!

TFAni TransWarped Pt2 Starscream Hotwire Omega Supreme

Name: Starscream, Function: Jumper Cable

Meanwhile, Megatron has discovered that Omega Supreme has again expended all his power, and his stasis cuffs do not have the energy left to rectify the situation. He grabs Starscream's head and jams it into the circuits, where the traitor's AllSpark fragment energizes Omega's systems once more.

Tfa transwarped sari 01

Let's see if a certain guy crushes on her.

Back in Detroit, the Autobots are attempting to figure out how to stop the Rock Lord without hurting Bumblebee, when the upgraded Sari comes streaking onto the scene on jet skates. As the Autobots look on in shock, Sari begins attacking the alien with arm-blades and an energy-hammer that morph out of her arms. A single strike of the hammer reduces the alien to boulders, freeing Bumblebee, who is immediately struck by Sari's new look, but then shouts a warning: The smaller boulders surrounding the pair have transformed into small creatures. But the creatures pose no threat to Sari, and she pounds them into pebbles. As Sari basks in her triumph, Ratchet realizes with horror that she has used the Key on herself.

TFA TransWarped Pt2 Bumblebee got stabbed by Sari Sumdac

So, kids, don't play with too many knives!

The elderly Autobot's concern is soon proven valid, as the Key overloads Sari's systems, and she loses control of her body. With Sari attacking everything and everyone around her, the Autobots attempt to stop her with a variety of non-lethal strategies, but Sari counters everything they throw at her, including Prowl's processor-over-matter technique. Even as Prime and Sari tell Bumblebee to keep back, the young Autobot races to his friend's side...only for the out-of-control Sari to stab him through the chest! Frozen for a horrific moment, Bumblebee is then hurled back by an energy discharge, and the light dims from his optics...

Part 3

TFAnimated TransWarped Pt3 Ratchet Repairs Bumblebee

D:

Ratchet leaps to Bumblebee's aid, but without Sari's Key, Bulkhead fears his little buddy is done for. Ratchet denies that he requires the key to do his job, but his memories of when he was forced to place the dying Omega Supreme in stasis haunt him as he begins to operate on Bumblebee.

Sari, meanwhile, is storming through the city streets, causing objects to explode when she comes into contact with them, and the Autobots head after her, seeking to remove the Key in hopes of bringing her back under control. They corral her with a wall of steel girders, affording Prowl the chance to get the drop on her and rip the Key from her chest, but Sari continues to rampage. With Bumblebee fading, Ratchet goes back on his previous claim and requests the Key be brought to him, but when Prowl complies, he discovers that the energy of the Key has been completely drained. Prowl assures Ratchet that he can accomplish the task without the Key, and the old medic gravely takes up the challenge and manages to bring Bumblebee back online.

Back with Sari, Prime and Bulkhead, Sari's energies are growing increasingly more out of control, as the street beneath her explodes with every step she takes. Bulkhead suggests just trying to "hold it in," but when Sari tries, things get even worse, as she begins to glow with so much energy that she is on the verge of exploding. Optimus summons Ratchet so that he can use his EMP generator to take Sari down, and while Ratchet is hesitant to do so, Sari begs him to stop her. Ratchet fires, and Sari collapses, her energy fading.

TFAnimated Pt3 TransWarped LongArm Cliffjumper Cube

Kid's meal premiums aren't what they used to be.

On Cybertron, Longarm Prime has Cliffjumper dispose of the crushed remains of Blurr and is then contacted by Megatron, after reverting back to Shockwave. Learning that the space bridge network is down and that the Earth-based Autobots are poised to blow Shockwave's cover, Megatron orders the Decepticons to cease their attacks on the space bridges so that he can solve both problems his own way. Team Chaar receive the transmission and fall back, much to the Elite Guard's surprise.

In the Autobots' base, Ratchet completes a rewiring of Sari's systems, bypassing the circuits that caused her to run out of control. Professor Sumdac soon arrives, having been informed of the location of the base by Optimus Prime. The Autobots are a little upset by this, but Prime makes it clear that there are to be no more secrets in this "family". The Autobots step outside the plant to give the Sumdacs some time together, and are in the middle of catching Bumblebee up on recent events when the small Autobot suddenly begins to glow with TransWarp energies once more. Bulkhead quickly deactivates the plasma dynamic thruster, but the source of the TransWarp wave the thruster was picking up soon becomes apparent, as Omega Supreme materializes in the sky overhead. Much to the Autobots' surprise, the titan fires upon them before transforming to robot mode, revealing a projected image of Megatron's face upon his visor! The Decepticon leader is in complete control of Omega's body and begins attacking the Autobots, forcing Optimus Prime to consider unleashing an uncontrollable Sari on the giant. Before resorting to this desperate last resort, the Autobots attempt to lure Megatron away from the city. Ratchet even upgrades Bumblebee's stingers to a more powerful battle grade for the mission.

Taking refuge in the nearby river, the Autobots attack Omega's legs, forcing open an access hatch through which Prime and Prowl enter Omega's body. Battling Omega's internal defences, Prowl taps into Omega's processor in order to help him fight off Megatron's control, and they succeed in forcing Megatron out of the system. Prime engages Megatron in order to keep Prowl safe, but as their battle rages, Starscream seizes control of Omega's mind and forcibly disconnects Prowl from Omega's processor.

TFA Starscream Possessing Omega

Good old Starscream gets a new body

Prime and Prowl are unceremoniously ejected from Omega Supreme's body, but Starscream is not finished there; he uses Omega's internal defences to seize Megatron, and resumes attacking the Autobots all around him. Megatron manages to talk Starscream into an alliance, suggesting they forget Earth and conquer Cybertron together. Starscream struggles to activate Omega's TransWarp system, and while his attention is occupied with this task, Omega's consciousness fights its way to the surface and begs Ratchet to shut him down again. Ratchet regretfully unleashes his EMP generator upon Omega, but it has no effect, and Starscream transforms Omega into starship mode in order to begin the TransWarp. Bulkhead and Bumblebee hit upon the idea to plant the plasma dynamic thruster on Omega Supreme, and they hand it off to Prime to complete the task. Prime plants the thruster at the last second before Omega disappears into TransWarp, and Ratchet catches Prime with his magnets as he falls out of the sky.

Back at the Autobot base a little later, Sari comes to and admits to Ratchet that he was right about taking it slow. Sumdac apologizes for holding back the truth from Sari for so long, and Bumblebee thanks Ratchet for saving his tailpipe. Unfortunately, Bulkhead brings the mood down by reminding everyone that they still have to find a way to contact Cybertron.

On Cybertron, Ultra Magnus holds an Autobot council and announces that all the evidence points to a double agent on Cybertron. Longarm Prime implicates escaped convict Wasp, and Ultra Magnus instructs Sentinel Prime and Jazz to put together a unit to hunt the fugitive down. Magnus also notes that he has to make contact with Optimus's crew on Earth, and Longarm hastily demands that all contact with them be filtered through him, responding to the council's wary looks by adding that it will be purely for security reasons.

Ripped up space

In the sky above Cybertron, Omega Supreme materializes, and Starscream howls with glee...only for the Autobot spaceship to TransWarp away immediately to another random point in space...and another...and another...

Quotes

Megatron: Starscream, you incompetant malfunction! Your utter failure has reached astronomical proportions.
(Starscream in the meantime is only a floating head and is using his teeth to open Megatron's stasis cuffs.)
Starscream: Maybe I'd have better luck removing these stasis cuffs if you had bothered to reattach my head to my body! And maybe we wouldn't be floating helplessly out here in space if you hadn't overloaded a space bridge! Are you sensing a pattern here?! THIS... IS... ALL... YOUR... FAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUULT!!!!! (Energy blast comes out of Starscreams mouth, breaking Stasis cuffs on Megatron) Whoa. Where did that come from?!

—One of Megatron and Starscream's little conversations.


Stascream: Omega Supreme... We're slagged! Wait, don't shoot! He's the one you want!
Megatron: Silence, fool!

Omega Supreme appears; Starscream attempts to save his own hide.


Headmaster: Attention, Burger Bot diners: "Cleanup was so sappy it makes me want to hurl" moment in the parking lot! Snack time's over, n00bs! Prepare for TOT: Total Ownage Time! (to Optimus) Back off, Lumberjack! This is between me and the happy little Sumdac family!
Sari: (angrily) "Happy family"?! Boy, did he get the wrong Sumdac!

Headmaster attacks Burger Bot where Optimus Prime, Profesor Sumdac and Sari are, while he is controlling Starscream's body.


Headmaster: Oh man! How do you roll over with these wings?!

—Press Z or R twice?

Masterson/Headmaster: (As Starscream's body is transforming and crushing the Headmaster unit) So, I guess the bot whose body I jacked... his head is a lot smaller?

—Masterson finally admits that he has a big head.

Strika: Blackout! You fool! Ve need ze space bridge operational! Blackout: Oh, Sorry.

Blackout making a mistake about the space bridge.

Longarm Prime: Agent Blurr! What are you doing back on Cybertron?
Blurr: (pants) While stationed on Earth, I intercepted a transmission between Megatron and his double agent on Cybertron who I can now positively identify as the Decepticon Shockwave. FURTHER analysis, review that Shockwave's voice did not match up with that of the suspected traitor Wasp, HOWEVER, a detailed cross reference of the Cybertron Intel database should determine the identity of the real traitor!
Longarm Prime: Have you shared this information with anyone else?
Blurr: I have not! To prepare your orders!
Longarm Prime:: Good...
(Attempts to slam a servo on Blurr)
Blurr: Ah! AH! Do you normally make it a habit to attack your own 'bots, sir? I mean, (Longarm transforms into Shockwave's alt mode and shoots at Blurr) it seems a little extreme, perhaps even Decepticon-like behaviour if you don't mind my saying so. In fact, if I didn't know better, I would first comprehend at this point that you're trying to eliminate me for some unknown reason!
(Blurr races off into some tunnels. Shockwave transforms)
Shockwave: I know I can't catch you. But I can trap you.

—Did ya get all that?


Omega Supreme: (To Ratchet as he comes online) I am Omega Supreme. I am yours to command. I am your pupil, your dependent, your obedient servant.
Ratchet: I am Ratchet. I am...your friend.

— Ratchet and Omega Supreme introduce themselves.

Ratchet: We don't need no stinkin' key!

— Ratchet, proud voice of the fandom.

Prowl: You go, I'll stay here with Bumblebee.
Ratchet: Try to keep him quiet.
Prowl: ...you do realize... this is Bumblebee?

Ratchet asks the impossible.


Optimus Prime: We need to lead him outside the city before someone gets hurt.
Bumblebee: Someone like us maybe?!

Bumblebee desperately wanting to stay online as a Megatron controlled Omega Supreme attacks them.


Megatron: It appears you and I are destined to battle on this ship once more, Autobot.
Optimus Prime: Bring it on, Decepticon.

—One shall stand, one shall fall... and ooh that last part rhymes.


Ultra Magnus: Also, try to contact Optimus Prime's team on Earth. It's been deca-cycles since we've heard from them.
Longarm Prime/Shockwave: All communications with Optimus Prime's crew should be filtered through me first! No exceptions!
Autobots stare at Longarm Prime.
Longarm Prime/Shockwave: (smirking) For...security's sake, of course. And for the sake of all Cybertron!

—Shockwave tricks the Autobots into stopping Optimus Prime from revealing his big secret...

Ratchet: Not so fast, Decepti-clown!

—Worst. Decepticon pun. EVER!

Starscream: Come on, TransWarp already, you overgrown death machine!
Megatron: What's this? The great Starscream can't even hot-wire a giant Autobot?

—Starscream points out the very obvious, while Megatron takes the opportunity to repay Starscream's old debts.

Optimus Prime: I really have to learn how to fly some day.

Optimus has a vision of things to come.

Notes

  • In the Japanese version, it was aired from the twenty-ninth to thirty-first episodes.

Animation errors

  • When Ironhide and Brawn are tied up, Brawn is in his vehicle mode.
  • When Ratchet's flashback of Omega's construction is finished, Sari's shirt sleeve is inexplicably repaired. Maybe she used her key to fix herself.
  • Starscream's body is completely repaired when the commercial break ends and the screen shows the fight at the Burger Bot.
  • When Sari and Isaac are driving back to Sumdac Tower, Optimus' steering wheel is mounted at an odd angle.
  • When Optimus Prime tells Bulkhead that Bumblebee is in the Rock Lord, Optimus' voice is played instead of Bulkhead's.
  • When Ratchet has a look at the homing beacon generator, Sari goes to activate it with her Key. That's all very well and pleasant, but the lanyard the Key is hanging from goes right through Sari's neck. To make matters worse, when Bulkhead takes the generator back, the key is shown hanging from Sari's neck again.

Continuity errors

  • In Autoboot Camp, Longarm is depicted as being a little taller than Bumblebee. In A Bridge Too Close, Part I, Blurr is also showed as being slightly taller than Bumblebee. So, in theory, Blurr and Longarm should be the same height, but Longarm is shown towering over Blurr in this episode. (Then again, he DOES have extendable limbs.)
  • When Sumdac brings out Sari a tray at the Burger Bot, there are two hamburgers and a shake on it (Sari drinks this). However, when the stuff on the tray blows off, only the empty shake cup is seen.
  • When Sari uses the key to give herself the upgrade, the cord it was on clearly dissolves in the release of AllSpark Energy. Later on when Prowl takes the key out of Sari's chest, the cord is back again.
  • In the flashback, when Sumdac touches Sari's protoform, the resulting shock causes his white strand of hair to apear. However in Transform and Roll Out part 1, he can clearly be seen to have a gray strand as a child.
  • Megatron mentions that he can't break through the door without his weapons. Why didn't he just pick them up? In fact both his sword and fusion cannon aren't seen or mentioned after he dropped them...
  • If Omega Supreme's core programming is so simple, why can't the Autobots simply rewrite it?
  • Optimus Prime and Prowl are able to break into Omega Supreme's body, disable his internal self-defense mechanisms, and reach his spark chamber in less than 20 seconds. One wonders how Omega was so devastating during the Great War.

Transformers references

TFA Omega Supreme Megatron Face

I was once small.

  • This marks the first episode(s) where the planet Cybertron (on the surface) is actually shown.
  • The background music playing while Longarm Prime drives up the ramp on Cybertron's surface sounds very similar to the music playing while Kranix's homeworld Lithone is being shown in "The Transformers: The Movie".
  • Oil Slick used the Cosmic Rust against Rodimus Prime.
  • The astroid monster resembles the Terrorcon and Abominus. In fact, when Sari breaks apart the monster, it splits into a bunch of smaller monsters that are quickly destroyed.

Real-world references

  • The Asteroid Monster whom Sari battled bears a resemblence to the GoBots spinoff product, Rock Lords; the one Sari fought, however, was a lot cooler.
  • Omega Supreme's transwarp drive appears to operate based on the same principles as the FTL Drives on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica.

Miscellaneous trivia

  • The asteroid base that Team Chaar attacks apparently has more gravity than the Earth's Moon in A Fistful of Energon despite being smaller than the Moon.
  • This is not first the Headmaster unit changed his facial expression. But unlike the previous episode, it was changed more.
  • Ultra Magnus is still in his Earth mode. You can tell because he looks quite different in the flashbacks. It would seem so are Jazz and Sentinel.
  • The background music that is heard when Blur is running atop the asteroids towards Cybertron is slightly similar to one (of the many) theme songs of another Blue Blur.
  • Rodimus loses his leg. However, when he's surrounded by Team Charr and changes sitting position to take scope, his leg is reattached. Maybe Red Alert was joking and works fast? Or not.
  • And that's not even going into the impossibilities of the cosmic rust that Oil Slick threw spreading as though it were in air...
    • ...Or the fact that Rodimus was throwing fire on that asteroid which is in space, unless there is a fuel tank mounted within his weapon or a somehow oxegenated asteroid.
  • The Base that Shockwave enters to "deposit" Blurr's remains looks strikingly similar to one particular City-bot. Hmmmm....
  • When Ratchet goes to put Omega Supreme into a modifed stasis, one of the dead bodies resembles Warpath.
  • When Starscream opens his mouth and shots Megatron's cuffs, you can see his jaw inside.
Also, during this shot (no pun intended) and the part when Starscream attempted to blast the door to escape out of Omega Supreme, a handle-like protrusion pops out the back of his head.
  • Optimus, apparently, sucks at being subtle.
  • Omega Supreme is easily influenced. That's kind of scary when you think about it.
  • Apparently, The reason Bumblebee's stingers suck at what they do was because they weren't set for warfare. When they are set, they can even harm and leave burn marks on Omega Supreme, something others weren't capable of doing. WHAT THE HELL?
  • Sari's eyes turn from muted red to Autobot blue after she upgrades herself.
  • It is still unrevealed what kind of protoform Sari was, be it Autobot or Decepticon, or if there is even a difference at all.
  • This episode is notable for paying explicit attention to show accuracy and scale. The instant being where Henry Masterson attempts to initiate the transformation sequence on Starscream's body, only to find the Headmaster unit is much bigger than Starscream's head would've been and so, is unable to transform.
  • According to Voice Director Sue Blu, In the original script, Sentinel Prime actually had a lot more lines. Due to time, however, most of those lines were cut out, with the exception of the one at the end of the third episode.
