Story

Time for Stella to kick bumper!

Landing with a thunderous crash, the beast called Ravenus snarls "Powerlinx," causing Twirl and Servo to immediately link with him! Gloating at this, the Speed Chasers explains that Ravenus' combining command is powerful enough to override the will of most Minicons. As Falcia and Flat-Out consider what to do, Stella drives up in a sports sedan and calls them to link with her. The two do so, transforming her car into an armored exo-suit, and the three jump into battle against Ravenus!

The Minicons' effort manages to knock Servo free, causing Ravenus to retreat with Twirl. Redline tells Combusta that he's uploaded the Master Key to the Linkage; she must tell all the Minicons to perform a "restore reactivation" so they can access that power.

As Redline flies after Ravenus, the recovering Aqua Raiders mock his plan. They explain to Combusta that their true master has already started to awaken, strengthened by the Transformers' ongoing war. The master has embedded Ravenus' circuitry with a "Doomstone," a crystal containing enough power to destroy the Linkage. Once Ravenus accesses the Linkage via one of the Minicons, the ensuing overload will destroy the Linkage and erase the minds of all Minicons!
