Some Junkions bring over the parts of Ultra Magnus, and put him back together. After making a few repairs, Ultra Magnus is alive again! Hot Rod asks him about the Matrix, but he says it's gone. Galvatron now has it.



Hot Rod wants to know where Galvatron is, and Wreck-Gar says the answer is: Unicron. Hot Rod tells everyone that they've got to destroy Unicron.



Wreck-Gar and the Junkions agree. Wreck-Gar walks over to a computer and pushes a few buttons, which makes a massive ship come out from under a pile of junk. He and the Junkions start to board their ship, along with Ultra Magnus, Perceptor and Blurr. Hot Rod, Kup, Springer, Arcee and Daniel board the Quintesson ship.



The two ships blast off, and head to Cybertron. Meanwhile, Galvatron has returned to Unicron, and tells him to see this: the Matrix! He now possesses that which Unicron most fears. Unicron roars, but Galvatron tells him he will do his bidding -or taste his wrath.



Unicron tells Galvatron that he underestimates him. Suddenly Unicron begins to change, as he reveals that he can also transform. Galvatron watches in horror...



...as Unicron transforms into a gigantic robot. Unicron says that at the time, he'd considered sparing that wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, Galvatron can witness its dismemberment. He flies over and begins his attack on the planet.



Shockwave tells the Decepticons they're under attack, and tells everyone to scramble. The Decepticon jets start flying around and shooting him, but Unicron sucks several of them in and destroys them.



The Decepticons continue to fight back, and Galvatron transforms and starts shooting Unicron in the head. Unicron grabs him and swallows him, just as the two Autobot ships arrive.



They see what is happening, and Hot Rod asks Kup if this reminds him of anything. Kup says he's never seen anything like this before. Daniel wonders what happened to Moonbase 2, and where his dad is. Hot Rod says that's what they're going to find out. As the ships approach, Unicron notices them.



He sends out a blast of laser breath, which hits the Junkion ship. Wreck-Gar says this thing can resist fire, rain and corrosion for up to five years. Satisfaction guaranteed...



...or your money back! The other Junkions are constantly making repairs. Unicron then fires at the Quintesson ship, blasting it in half. But Hot Rod is still able to pilot the ship, and crashes it through one of Unicron's eyes.



The Autobots fall out of the ship, and land below. Daniel notices that Hot Rod is missing, but they can't worry about that -several claws burst out of the walls, and chase after them.



Hot Rod has fallen deeper into Unicron. He gets up and starts to take a look around, but then notices the Matrix. Galvatron tells him it will do him no good, as it cannot be opened.



Hot Rod tells him a Decepticon couldn't open it. Galvatron says that like it or not, they are allies now, against a common foe. But Unicron tortures him and tells him to destroy the Autobot now, or he will be obliterated. Galvatron tells his master of course, and then starts firing at Hot Rod.



The battle against Unicron continues, as the Dinobots transform and attack his behind. He nearly crushes them all, but they get away just in time.



They transform and back off, as Grimlock says they need a new strategy. Back inside Unicron, Springer's group continue to run, when Daniel falls over. The claws surround him, so the Autobots start shooting him.



Arcee destroys some of the claws, but one of her blasts ruptures a wall, causing water to pour out everywhere. The Autobots get washed away, and Daniel is separated from them.



Daniel arrives at a place where several captured robots are being dropped into a smelting pool, where they melt. He notices that his dad, along with Bumblebee, Jazz and Cliffjumper, are in danger of being dropped in. Spike tells his son to use his exo suit to blast the acid cover.



Daniel presses a couple of buttons, and eventually gets the suit to its weapon mode. He blasts the cover, which starts to fall down, just as Spike and the others are dropped.



Thankfully they are saved, as they all land on the cover. Meanwhile, Galvatron tells Hot Rod to come out, as they all must die sometime. Hot Rod says not today, and hits Galvatron from behind.



He transforms and runs Galvatron over. Galvatron starts firing back, but Hot Rod charges towards him again.



Galvatron stands his ground and gets hit, but is able to grab onto Hot Rod, and rolls him over. Hot Rod is forced to transform, as Galvatron grabs him by the neck, and says he will crush him with his bear hands. He tries to tear his head off.



Outside, the Junkion ship fires a few blasts at Unicron, but Unicron grabs the ship. He crushes it, and then throws it away.



Back inside, Galvatron says that first Prime, then Ultra Magnus... and now, Hot Rod. It's a pity Autobots die so easily, or he'd have a sense of satisfaction now. Hot Rod grabs onto the Matrix, which suddenly starts to shine brightly. He manages to kick Galvatron off him.



The Matrix continues to shine brightly, and as he lifts it above his head, he hears Optimus Prime's voice... who tells Rodimus Prime to arise. Galvatron sees what's going on, and begins firing at him.



His blasts have no effect, other than causing him to drop the Matrix. Rodimus tells Galvatron that this is the end of the road. He rushes forward, picks him up...



...and throws him right out of Unicron. He tumbles out into space, and falls. Rodimus picks the Matrix back up.



He says for it to now light their darkest hour, and opens it up. The Matrix unleashes an incredible energy throughout Unicron, which causes a series of explosions.



Unicron realizes something is wrong, as internal explosions rock his body. He tears one of his own legs off, but he continues to explode. Kup and the others notice the claws chasing them are starting to blow up, just as Spike and the others arrive.



Spike asks what's going on, but Springer says they have no time to explain. They then notice Rodimus running towards them. Rodimus tells the Autobots to transform, and roll out.



Rodimus transforms to his new truck mode, as Spike and Daniel board him. Kup says he knew Hot Rod had potential, as he and the other Autobots transform. The Autobots roll out...



...and crash right through Unicron's other eye. As Unicron spins out of control, he says they cannot control his destiny... but his head then explodes off his body.



His body then explodes into nothing. The Autobots and Junkions regroup on Cybertron, as Rodimus tells them to let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars, as they march forward to a new age of peace and happiness.



'Till all are one! As the other Autobots repeat the last part of their new leader's speech, Cybertron has gained a new moon: Unicron's head.



NOTES

-Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge are all seen being destroyed by Unicron. However, all three of these characters will appear in the third season of the TV series, and have speaking roles. Their toys were still available in the 1986 lineup, so it seems their "deaths" in the movie were a mistake.

-The purple Decepticon ship Unicron gives to Galvatron is also seen being destroyed during the final battle, but it actually reappears again in the top left corner of this shot, and will appear in the third season of the TV series.

-During the credits, Walker Edmiston is credited with voicing Inferno. Inferno does not appear in the movie at all. Walker did record a line for Inferno, but it was not used in the film -see the dialogue script differences for more info.

-Don Messick is also credited with voicing Gears. Gears makes a cameo near the start of the film, but does not speak. Again, like with the above, Don did record a line for Gears, but it wasn't used. For some reason Don is not credited for voicing Scavenger, who does speak in the movie.
