Synopsis

The Decepticons steal Professor Haley's voltronic galaxer, and head to the Moon with it. Thanks to Blaster jamming up the airwaves with his music, the Autobots arrive too late to stop the Decepticons. The Autobots instead start searching for the Decepticons, and Cosmos and Blaster come across their new base on the Moon. But they are seen and then captured by Astrotrain. Megatron uses the voltronic galaxer to take over the Earth's airwaves, causing mass chaos at airports and more. He demands all of the Earth's energies.

Some of the Autobots head out to try and help the humans, but Optimus Prime is attacked and damaged at an airport. As Megatron continues to make demands, Blaster interrupts his broadcast with some music. Spike and Carly realize it's Blaster's music, and find where the source is coming from: the Moon! Powerglide flies then and Prime to where Omega Supreme is. With Teletraan I inoperable, Omega says they must rescue their Autobots comrades on the Moon. Carly tries some repairs on Prime, as then she, Spike, Prime and Powerglide board Omega. Omega takes off and heads to the Moon.

On the Moon, Omega lands and gets into a fight with Astrotrain. Megatron turns his attention to Prime, but Prime reactivates just in time and starts fighting him. With the base unguarded, Cosmos shoots at the computer, destroying it and blowing the base up. Meanwhile, Astrotrain tries to outrun Omega, but Omega transforms back to his robot mode and catches him. He then tosses Astrotrain out into space.

Megatron retreats, telling Prime he's won -for now. Prime and the others head into the base's remains, and save Cosmos and Blaster. Blaster says he wants to turn this place into a radio moon, with a loony lunar lineup of hip hits. Cosmos thinks it could give him some company out here. Blaster says how about it, as he did save the day. Prime tells him he did, but his volume, like any capability, is also a responsibility -he must decide when it's the right time, and the wrong time, to use it. The Autobots head back to Omega, as Blaster gets yelled at by Prime for being too loud again.

Notes

-SCRIPT DIFFERENCES: Click here for details.

-This episode marks the debut of Omega Supreme, who like all the other second season characters introduced up until now, has come out of nowhere. However it will later be explained how he got to Earth in The Secret of Omega Supreme.

-Omega Supreme's transformation is a bit weird. When he blasts off, he leaves behind a great deal of himself, such as his track and tank (all of this combines with himself to become the robot mode).

However when he lands on the moon in this episode, all of this stuff he left on Earth just magically comes back once the dust clears. This happens all the time with him and it's just one of those things you don't question, just like where Prime's trailer comes from and how Transformers can shrink.
