The battle on the Moon between Grand Maximus and BlackZarak was secretly recorded. The tape was passed to the Intelligence Agency of the United States Department of Defense. But now the tape is in the hands of a young man called Clouder. He puts in another tape and starts to watch it.
This tape shows a battle between some Cybertrons and Destrons at British Motors, but Clouder wonders why the Destrons retreated. He decides to go out on a ride, and gets on his bike. He heads through a waterfall and into a cave, where a transtector awaits!
DOUBLECLOUDER
Clouder has found the final Godmaster transtector, and has the Master-braces. But as he is about to put them on, there is something unique about these Master-braces.. One has a Destron insignia on it, whilst the other has a Cybertron insignia. Clouder says that the Destrons always have cooler mecha and methods, though...
At the Destron base, Giga and Mega reveal that they are moving. They are going to a deserted island, and setting up a new base there. They will not be abandoning this one, but they want to focus all their efforts on finding the final Godmaster. According to their data and analysis, there is a strong possibility that the final Godmaster is in North America. The Destrons move out to the island, but as they arrive on it, a large shadow appears over them.
Overlord is above them and has transformed into a colossal base, which lands. Giga tells them not to be impressed just yet, as they will soon get to witness the firepower this base has. But for now, he orders them to search for the final Godmaster.
Meanwhile, in the rocky mountains to the far north of British Motors, Ginrai's transtector is parked in a forest. Ginrai himself is training, when he notices that someone is stealing his truck! He manages to get to it and tells whoever's driving to stop.
Turns out it is just the Cybertron Headmaster Juniors, as they saw Ginrai training and figured they should do some training also. Quite how driving a truck around would improve their skills is a mystery, but Ginrai doesn't seem to mind. He finds out from them that there hasn't been any Destron activity recently. Meanwhile, the Destron Headmaster Juniors are searching, but they are getting fed up. America is a large country, how are they meant to find this other Godmaster? Turns out they don't have to search any more, as Doubleclouder has found them.
DOUBLECLOUDER
EAGLE MODE
The Destron Headmasters take him back to Giga and Mega. Giga says that Clouder is the final Godmaster, and he has special Master-braces. Clouder says he feels really lucky to be the last Godmaster, and Mega says that he is a powerful ally who was worth waiting for. Wilder asks what the deal with the Master-braces is. Giga is about to explain that if Clouder puts his left arm over the right one, then he...Clouder interrupts him. He knows how this works, and is about to demonstrate it when King Poseidon bursts out of the ground!
King Poseidon starts to attack Clouder, and almost stomps on him. Clouder suits up, and then merges with his transtector...
...and transforms into his eagle mode. He knocks King Poseidon down. Mega asks if Giga told King Poseidon to attack, but he says he had nothing to do with this. But rather than call King Poseidon off, they decide to observe Clouder's ability.
Doubleclouder takes a bit out of King Poseidon, who tries to leap off with him into the ocean. Doubleclouder says he hasn't a chance, and uses some Choukon power to increase the strength in his wings and stop them both from falling into the sea. He then uses some laser blasts from his eyes...
...to make King Poseidon to lose an arm. More laser blasts cause King Poseidon to break apart, and some of the debris falls towards a cruise ship below.
Some of the debris hits the ship, damaging it. Doubleclouder is not proud of this action and thinks it was just terrible timing. Meanwhile, Ginrai is out on the road...
...when Diver contacts him. Diver has picked up an SOS signal, and it is coming from a point in the Pacific near a deserted island. Diver says he is on his way there, so Ginrai says he'll be going with the Headmaster Juniors, whilst he'll also get some of the other Cybertron Godmasters to come along.
Back with the Destrons, it turns out that the reason King Poseidon attacked Clouder was because Hydra had told him to. This is the way he and his brother always greet new recruits, as if he had lost, then the Destrons would have no use for him. Clouder says he enjoyed it, and Buster says he isn't bad as they didn't have to help him defeat King Poseidon. Giga tells Clouder to show them his other transformation mode.
Clouder crosses his arms, but this time he is suited in different armor. He unites with his transtector...
...which transforms. The Destrons see that he has become a Cybertron robot, and Giga says that this is his secret -Doubleclouder can become either a Destron or Cybertron.

ROBOT MODE
Later on, the Destron Headmaster Juniors think Clouder is amazing, and Wilder says he should be friends with them since they're better than Hydra and Buster. Clouder is then called before Giga and Mega, who give him his first mission: he is to become a Destron spy. With his robot mode, he should be able to get close to the Cybertrons with ease. He can find their base, and gather intelligence from there. Clouder thinks this is a good idea, as he should be able to view God Ginrai from up close!
Giga thinks to himself, and is glad that Clouder likes the idea of becoming a spy. An alarm then goes off, as the Destrons see that Super Ginrai and Godbomber are heading their way. Overlord's base mode lets loose with a barrage of missiles, as the Cybertrons close in.
Meanwhile Diver, Lightfoot and Road King also arrive, and board the damaged ship. As they assist with rescue operations, Super Ginrai lands and has to avoid several explosions caused by the missiles. He puts down Godbomber so the Cybertron Headmaster Juniors can get out.
They are told to get to the ship to help Lightfoot and the others. Super Ginrai becomes God Ginrai, who runs towards Overlord with his guns blazing. But as the Cybertron Headmaster Juniors move in, they are intercepted by their Destron counterparts.
Shuuta tells Minerva to go on, he and Cab will deal with the Destrons. She doesn't think they will be able to handle them, but Shuuta tells her to hurry. She starts to run, but one of Overlord's missiles explodes behind her and she falls over. Her leg is damaged and she can't walk by herself.
But then Doubleclouder, in his robot mode, appears and saves her. He takes her to a safer place, but Cancer appears. Doubleclouder grapples with him, but makes it clear to Cancer that he has to do this because he was told to! He punches Cancer back.
God Ginrai is trying to damage Overlord, but his guns alone aren't up to the job. But he gets an idea, and uses a Godcannon shot to destroy part of the cliff Overlord is in front of. He then charges through the cliff from behind with his God Fire Guts attack, causing the cliff to crumble and cover up Overlord.
Overlord transforms into a robot, but God Ginrai fires a Godcannon shot at him. Damaged, Overlord calls for a retreat and the Destrons are soon gone. The crew and passengers of the ship have been saved, so all is well.
Later on, Doubleclouder is glad to see Minerva will be OK, and says he wanted to meet them all sooner, but he didn't know where their base was. Shuuta and Cab think that their new comrade is great, whilst Super Ginrai doesn't say anything. Does disaster loom for the Cybertron base?
NOTES
Doubleclouder's animation model uses the colors for the American version of the toy (which is known as Doubledealer), rather than the Japanese version. You can see a picture of the Japanese version of the toy here.
Overlord seems to reach Metroplex size levels when he transforms to base mode. Don't ask how it works, as scale has never been a strong point in Transformers.
