It is a boring time for the Cybertron Headmasters, as they go out on patrol with nothing exciting happening, until they detect something is in the ship's weapons room. Fortress sends Chromedome and Hardhead to check it out, so the two Cybertrons enter and tell whoever's in there to reveal themselves or they will come in and get them. And who steps out?
Daniel steps out, asking for them not to shoot. To make things worse, he knocks over a barrels as he moves forward, but then to make things even worse than that, it turns out Wheelie is on the ship also, who catches the barrel. The two are taken to the ship's bridge.
They think the ship is awesome, when a transformed Fortress -who's alt mode seems to be a giant head -calls out to them. He says he stays in this "head mode" when he's in command of the ship, and transforms back to robot mode. Fortress says they can stay here for now, but must not go wandering about. Daniel says he will, whilst Wheelie says he guesses he will too.
At that moment, the Cybertrons pick up two signals heading slowly towards them from space. These two creatures (known as Beastformers) are wearing exo-suits and are glad that they have found the Cybertrons, but as they land on the ship they both collapse. Chromedome and Hardhead rush out and get them to bring them back inside for medical treatment. The two creatures say that they have traveled from Planet Beast and they need the Cybertron's help.
The two Beastformers go into more detail: their planet was peaceful, but one day it was invaded by the Destrons who captured many of their kind and put them to work in a large underground factory. Another problem is that a lot of Beastformers have actually joined forces with the Destrons leading to a war. Fortress decides to go to Planet Beast to deal with the Destrons and informs the Cybertrons on Athenia of what's going on.
BEAST
The narrator then goes into a bit more detail about Planet Beast, explaining how great it was until the Destrons showed up. There are now two Beastformer armies fighting each other, although the rebel army (the good side) is losing the war. Back in the present, the rebels try and make an attack on the factory, but are outnumbered and outgunned.
Their enemies have the high ground, letting them easily shoot down anyone who tries to cross over the moat. The rebels retreat and many have been wounded. The leader of the rebels, White Leo, is concerned that they have many wounded soldiers and that if help doesn't arrive soon they'll be finished.
Fortress and the others arrive on Planet Beast and land, unknowingly seen by an evil Beastformer called Snakebomb. As the Cybertrons depart from the ship Daniel and Wheelie start jumping around and making noise, so Fortress tells them to shut up or they'll be sent back home. Meanwhile the Cybertron's arrival is reported to Galvatron on Jaar.
An Alligatron reports to Galvatron about how a giant spaceship has recently landed on the planet. Galvatron and the Destron Headmasters determine that it must be Fortress and the others, so they head to Planet Beast to attack them. Before they go Cyclonus and Scourge, who are already on Planet Beast, chip in with an idea of luring Rodimus Convoy there so they can destroy him too.
The Cybertrons are taken to the Rebel base and are introduced to White Leo. Inside the base Leo explains about the underground factory, and that something is being built down there. Chromedome asks what they are building but no-one knows, so Fortress guesses that it must be some kind of new weapon. The Cybertrons agree to help Leo in freeing his people and defeating the opposition.
Wheelie and Daniel have been left behind at the ship and are pretty bored, so Wheelie suggests they go exploring despite Fortress telling them not to do so. Daniel doesn't want to go at first but Wheelie persuades him. Almost as soon as they start walking off a small monkey finds them and asks them to help him rescue his mother and father who have been set to work in the underground factory. Wheelie tells him to show them where the factory is.
They approach the factory but lets face it, but are almost immediately spotted by a Snakebomb. Wheelie panics and runs out into the open, and is followed by Daniel and the monkey. Wheelie and Daniel are soon captured, although the monkey escapes. Not far away, the Trainbots arrive on Beast and drop of Rodimus along with some new Cybertrons known as the Firebots:
REPUG
GROTUS
DOUBLECROSS
Rodimus has a quick look around the ship, but there is nobody on it. He knows Fortress wouldn't just take Daniel into a potentially dangerous situation, and has the Firebots to go and look for everyone.
Fortress and the others are taken to where the underground factory is and Fortress gets pretty annoyed when they see Daniel and Wheelie being taken away. Chromedome says he'll rescue them and runs down followed by Hardhead, even though Fortress tells them to stop. They keep going, but at the bottom of the hill Skullcruncher bursts out of the moat and attacks.
Weirdwolf and Mindwipe also show up and start to pound on the Cybertrons, just as Highbrow and Brainstorm run down the hill. The Cybertron Headmasters use a special technique that has them switch over their heads...
...which gives them boosts to their speed, strength and intelligence. This lets them easily deal with the Destron Headmasters and knock them back. Up on the hill Fortress tells Leo to take his army in and free his people whilst the Cybertrons deal with things top side. However things are difficult for Leo as the swamp they need to get through is infested with piranha type creatures called piragilon, which can eat through metal.
White Leo contacts his superior, Platinum Tiger, and explains what is going on. Tiger says there is no way they could wade through the swamp because of the piragilons, if only they could do something about that water...meanwhile, Rodimus has arrived on Fortress' ship and starts to fire upon the Destron Beastformers.
Fortress gets back on his ship and uses it to suck up all the water, draining the moat. Rodimus jumps down and beats up a few Beastformers, but then Galvatron appears along with Cyclonus and Scourge.
Galvatron transforms and fires, but Rodimus avoids the shot. Galvatron transforms back to robot mode and jumps down to fight Rodimus hand to hand, but Cyclonus decides he wants to help out. He picks up a rock as Scourge tries to stop Rodimus from moving...
...only for Rodimus to still get out of the way, and Cyclonus ends up smashing the rock onto Galvatron instead. He runs off in fear as Rodimus tells Galvatron and Scourge that there is no way he will let them enslave the Beastformers.
In the underground factory the captured Beastformers are still being forced to work, but the factory guards are suddenly called away due to the Cybertron attack outside. The little monkey comes into the room and frees Daniel, who then frees Wheelie. The two free the other prisoners and they decide that they have to find a way out of here. The little monkey is reunited with his mother and father and the other Beastformers follow Daniel and Wheelie.
As they are about to leave they run into the Firebots, who explain that they are not the enemy and that Rodimus has arrived on Planet Beast. Repug spots a diagram on the wall and takes it. The Firebots also say that they can't go back the way they came due to the enemy following them. The little monkey knows a different way, so they move out just as a Beastformer starts shooting at them from above.
White Leo and his team cross the moat and head towards the factory, as back outside, the Destrons and Cybertrons fire at each other. Chromedome tells Hardhead that he's going to go and look for Daniel.
Fortress smashes his ship into the Destrons, who tumble into the drained moat and are attacked by the metal chomping fish. Galvatron has had enough and curses the Cybertrons before telling the Destrons to retreat.
Later on Leo returns having found Daniel, Wheelie and the other Beastformers and they regroup with Rodimus. Rodimus, Highbrow and Fortress inspect the blueprint which Repug gave them and work out that it is a component for something, although they don't know what it could be for. However, whatever it is, it is must be gigantic. Rodimus tells the Firebots to remain on Planet Beast for now incase the Destrons return. The other Cybertrons then depart from Planet Beast and head back to Athenia.
