Story

With his power augmented by the Minicon Leader-1, Megatron quickly defeats Optimus Prime. He then summons the Decepticons to Earth, and they begin their search for other Minicons.

Nearby, Rad tries to convince the Minicons to help Optimus Prime, but they steadfastly refuse to intervene. Rad then marches off to find Megatron, and distracts him from killing Optimus Prime by claiming to know where more Minicons can be found. Curious at first, Megatron soon grows impatient with Rad's stalling tactics, and threatens the human's life.

Rad is suddenly saved by High Wire and the Minicons, who've had a change of conscience. The Minicons hold off Megatron just long enough for Optimus to summon Hotshot and Red Alert; the three Autobots then link up with the Minicons, and quickly drive off the Decepticons.

As the Decepticons head off, Carlos comes up with news about something interesting in the Minicon cave...
