Synopsis
The Decepticons have created a space bridge in a baseball stadium. The Autobots arrive and start fighting them, but during the battle, the space bridge is activated whilst a group of Transformers are in it, along with some energon cubes. The Transformers find themselves transported to a world populated by giant aliens, and are in the room of a child called Aron. Aron and his cat, Nitro, see the Transformers. The Decepticons attempt to flee and get away, but Aron and Nitro catch them all. Starscream manages to escape and heads into a building set, where the Autobots and the energon cubes are. Starscream shoots at them but hits some of the cubes, causing a fire. Inferno puts the fire out and the Autobots then take the remaining cubes out. Aron sees this and thanks them for what they did. Optimus introduces himself and the rest of his team: Bumblebee, Perceptor, Inferno and Smokescreen. |
Aron's parents then come in. Aron shows them the Transformers, but his parents consider them to be dangerous. On Earth, Chip uses Teletraan I to try and find where the missing Autobots have been transported to, but has no luck. On the alien planet, Aron's parents take the Transformers to a scientist, who decides that the best way to find out what makes these things tick is to cut them open! |
Aron picks up the Autobots and flees. He is chased by some guards, so he drops the Autobots into a sewer and tells them to get back to his house. Meanwhile, the Decepticons also manage to escape, and go after the Autobots. After a battle in the sewer, the Autobots eventually reach Aron's home. Perceptor has devised a plan to use a telescope and the energon cubes to create a beam of light they can use to get back to Earth. Everything is setup, but the Decepticons then arrive and take Bumblebee hostage. Nitro intervenes, but the Decepticons jump into the light beam and are sent back to Earth. |
With the energon cubes all used up, Aron comes up with a new plan. He pulls out a toy rocket ship, which Perceptor modifies into a space-worthy vehicle. The Autobots board it, which then takes off and heads into space. As Aron says goodbye to the Autobots, Prime bids him farewell -and thanks. |
