Story

At a remote outpost a few miles from Autobot Headquarters, the Minicon Air Defense Team destroys a Decepticon spy satellite dish. They then see Sparkplug's Minicon distress signal in the night sky, and report it to Optimus Prime. Prime tells the Minicons to wait for the Autobots to arrive, but they ignore his orders and fly to the rescue. Sparkplug then enters the transmission room, and Prime realizes the distress signal was a trap.

Landing at a nearby mountain, the Air Defense Team finds that the distress signal was from a Decepticon transmitter. They are then captured by Galvatron, who forces them to combine into the Star Saber. As Galvatron gloats over his conquest, Optimus Prime and Jetfire reach the scene, then combine to form a super robot. Defying Prime's order to surrender the Minicons, Galvatron attacks, but is quickly disarmed and kicked away.

As the dazed Air Defense Team recovers, Jetfire and Prime chide them for running off, and Prime reminds them that they need brains as well as brawn.
