The episode begins with the Autobots evacuating Seibertron (Cybertron) due to the black hole threatening their planet. The Autobots are transporting a few last minute supplies when Starscream shows up. Starscream attacks the Autobots, but Galaxy Convoy (Optimus Prime) drives out to the rescue. He quickly transforms and attacks, but then he realizes Starscream is a decoy and rolls for the base. Starscream targets Optimus, but Landmine jumps in the way. He is damaged and begins to float away, so to save him, Vector Prime comes out and opens a space bridge to Earth that Landmine drifts through. On Earth, Coby and his younger brother Bud are racing dirt bikes with their dad. Lori comes out and begins to complain, so they invite her to join the festivities. The three kids begin hiking in the mountains when they see the space bridge open. They go to investigate the crash and discover Landmine. Coby repairs Landmine, so Landmine begins to tell them the tale of the Transformers. He reveals that the black hole was created by the destruction of Unicron. The black hole was now consuming many planets, and Cybertron was next so Optimus had sent Jetfire to Earth to scan some vehicles. Jetfire brought back vehicle designs for all the Transformers, so they scanned them and began transporting to Earth when a space bridge opens up. Out comes Vector Prime, who calls himself the Keeper of Space and Time. Vector Prime says the only way to save Cybertron and the universe was to decipher his map and find the Cyber Planet Keys. Optimus quickly agrees. Back on Earth, Thundercracker scans a jet and locates Landmine. He decides to attack Landmine from behind. Landmine protects the kids, and then Optimus arrives in his flying Mack truck mode. Optimus quickly disposes of Thundercracker and informs the other Autobots that he has located Landmine. The Autobots drive over and introduce themselves to the kids, and then Optimus decides to tell them the rest of the story. After saving Landmine, Vector Prime was able to finish synchronizing the map. Just then Megatron transported in and disposed of Scattershot. He tried to convince Vector Prime that the Autobots were evil, but Vector Prime wasn't fooled so Megatron stole the planet map instead. Optimus came in and went into Super Mode. He went head to head with Megatron, but Megatron was able to transport out after stealing the map, so the Decepticons have the map and the Autobots are on Earth. Vector prime then summons the Minicons. The Minicons scan vehicles and begin to do their daily tasks when Vector Prime notices Lori's shirt. Lori's shirt contains a symbol that is the Seal of Atlantis. Vector Prime realizes that the Omega Lock is on Earth, and he informs the Autobots that if they find the Omega Lock, they can also find another map, so the mission begins.

The true form of Planet Cybertron is revealed as the planet-sized Transformer, Primus used as the device to connect and relay the messages of Primus, who begins to speak of things that have long since passed. When the Autobots destroyed Unicron, it caused a rip in time and space which created the black hole. Only he can shut it down. But first, the Autobots must find the last key to fully awaken him. Then, Primus showed images of the four Cybertronian ships heading towards planets. At the fourth one, once the ship reached it, it disappeared. Primus explained that the planet was caught in a wormhole and sucked into an alternate universe. Unfortunately, Primus's energy was spent because Starscream absorbed much of his spark. Before he rested, Primus told the Autobots about the fourth planet. It was Gigantian. But the Autobots didn't know they were being overheard by Sideways, who returns to a being-repaired Starscream. Vector Prime tells everyone that the fourth planet was where the Mini-cons came from. He shows an image of them in their ship, drifting in space. Jolt explains that they were playing hide-and-seek. He also mentions that there aren't only small Transformers on the planet, but bigger ones, too. Meanwhile, the Decepticons were quarreling over who should be leader. Red Alert tried to scan Jolt's memory, which tickles him, but can't find anything. His size and mind is so complex, he seems more human than Transformer. Just then, the Autobots detected Decepticons approaching. During the battle, Scrapmetals blew up Crumplezone and Starscream fires at Primus's head. But everyone was astonished when the creator blocked the shot and activated his weapon systems. Blasting Starscream, the map flies into Vector Prime's hand. Just then, everyone sees a ghostly image of Megatron. In the command center, the kids see Sideways kidnap the Mini-cons. They follow him through a warp gate and end up in a strange place. | |||||

Megatron returns from the dead but is lost and confused when he sees a dark mist that surrounds him. He uses this mist to first swallow up a Scrap Metal and then to reformat Crumplezone in his own image. He then turns his attention to the Autobots who are somewhat confused as to why they can't destroy them. Leobreaker then realizes that the Decepticons have their fighting spirit back because of seeing Megatron. Meanwhile Safe Guard informs Vector Prime that he's lost contact with Jolt and the children. Optimus Prime sends Vector to investigate why they've lost contact with the mini-cons and the children. He checks the Skydome to find that there's no sign of a struggle or bodies. He then checks the surveillance monitor to find that Sideways has taken Jolt, Reverb, and Six-Speed. He relays a message to Optimus Prime who then asks about Bud, Coby, and Lori. Vector Prime tells Optimus Prime that the children have gone after Sideways. Leobreaker decides to engage Megatron alone and slices into the mist that surrounds the fallen leader but to Leobreaker's surprise Megatron is not dead but has been completely restored due to Unicron's armor. Megatron uses emotional manipulation and the dark side of Leobreaker's heart to create Nemesis Breaker. Nemesis Breaker and Leobreaker then begin a fierce battle which ends in Leobreaker going down. Optimus Prime tells Scourge that he's more concerned about Megatron than he is about him so he leaves Scourge in the middle of the battle feeling rather indignant. Back at the Skydome Red Alert asks Vector Prime if he's already checked the volcano where Starscream was last seen. Vector Prime informs both Red Alert and Scattershot that he had contacted Colonel Franklin on Earth and who has informed him that the volcano has already been cleaned out. Scattershot complains that he gave Coby a mini-communicator and wonders why he hasn't used it to communicate with them. Now in the floating room Coby and Bud are trying to retrieve their communicator so that they can relay a message to the Autobots but it's floating around and they are unable to catch it. Meanwhile the last fit battle between Dark Claw Megatron (Megatron link up with Nemesis Breaker) and Savage Claw Optimus Prime has begun but once the smoke had cleared Optimus realizes that the battle was a ruse that Megatron used to run away and head straight for the Omega Lock. | |||||

As the battle rages on Primus, the kids find out they are in Atlantis again. Though debilitated, Atlantis maintained a minimal atmosphere. Floating through the air vent, the kids came upon the control centre, where Sideways was trying to extract information on Gigantian from Jolt. Unfortunately, he has too much information in his brain and decided to make him a mindless zombie by removing data not on Gigantion. Starscream heads off to get the Omega Lock. Tired of stuff floating around, Sideways turns on the artificial gravity generator and the ship stabilizes. But then after hearing Bud's scream, he does the "Jack and the Beanstalk" thing. The kids slid down a tunnel and almost fell into a fire pit. They were running away from Sideways when Coby purposefully drops his communicator, projecting a holographic image of Megatron. Voicing for Megatron, Coby said to Sideways that he should surrender to the Autobots, hop on one foot and say: "I'm a pretty lady". But his trick was exposed and again they start running. After managing to trap Sideways under rubble, the kids rescue Six-Speed and Reverb. Meanwhile, Starscream forces Thunderblast to steal the Omega Lock for him or he'll blast her to smithereens. Back on Atlantis, the others rescued Jolt and were going to disable the EMS (Electro-magnetic Shield) surrounding the ship when Sideways appears in front of them. | |||||

The kids and the Mini-cons managed to get away from Sideways thanks to Jolt. But in a tunnel in direction of the shield controls, they are once again cornered by Sideways who put up a warp shield to prevent Jolt from opening dimension gates. Luckily, after distracting Sideways with "Oh there's Megatron. No, its Optimus Prime", Coby blinds him with Atlantis' fire extinguisher. Running into the engine room, they figure out Sideways had put Atlantis back together. They then set a trap. Meanwhile, Mudflap was wandering the Earth not knowing whom to join. Lugnutz wonders what happened to Starscream. Back on Primus, Thunderblast was having a hard time getting the Omega Lock, so she calls for Starscream's help. Yet he was driven off by the Autobots and Thunderblast chooses not to take the Omega Lock. In Atlantis, the kids cause an explosion in the engine room and sent Sideways down the garbage chute to hit a piece of machinery. Since he put up the warp shield, even he can't warp. Once he's out, he gets hit by a machine. The kids then disabled the Electro-Magnetic Shield to contact the Autobots. Vector Prime, Red Alert and Scattershot went to get them, followed by Ransack, Crumplezone, Nemesis Breaker and Megatron. Starscream returned and set the ship to warp. The kids took the escape pods but one containing Bud, Jolt and Reverb was still in the warp field after bumping into a dazed Sideways. Atlantis warped away, taking everyone inside its field including Ransack and Crumplezone. Coby swore to find Bud and the others. | |||||

The Autobots search the entire universe for the Atlantis star ship but it's nowhere to be found. Vector Prime explains that the wormhole can only be entered by the Mini-cons and the children, because they have flexible minds; however, Red Alert says that Vector Prime's sword and Optimus's Matrix can stabilize the wormhole to allow other Transformers in. On Earth, Landmine convinces Mudflap to rejoin the Autobots. In order to rescue Bud, Jolt and Reverb, Coby and Lori decide to go to Giant Planet. Before leaving, they try to tell their families about the Transformers, but their families don't believe them, even when Colonel Franklin and Professor Suzuki show up. Optimus, Vector Prime, Landmine and Six-speed reveal themselves. Optimus assures the children's families that they will be safe. The next day, everything is ready.

Coby was working on a damaged Scrapmetal drone when Optimus assured him that they will rescue Bud. The Autobots learn that the gate to Gigantion could cause the result of their minds leaving their bodies. Luckily, Red Alert had made a vaccine based on technology from Vector Prime's sword to protect the Autobots. Override had brought a spaceship that looks a lot like the Atlantis to make the journey. But it was called the Ogygia, the Cybertronian ship that brought the first Transformers to Velocitron. It was thought a legend until Clocker and Brakedown rediscovered it. Coby and Lori realized that ancient lost continents on Earth. The Autobots were applied the vaccine but Jetfire stay away. He offered to stay behind to protect Primus and Omega Lock. But the creator himself contacted them that he will do it. The Autobots head through the space-time warp tunnel but got attacked by the Atlantis. They couldn't even return fire with Bud on board. Falling into a hole that would trap them in a limbo, Coby reroutes all of the weapon power to the main engines. Then a huge rock was in their way and with all the weapons systems diverted to main engines, they couldn't even blast their way through. On the Atlantis, Bud and the Mini-Cons sabotaged the engines to slow down Starscream. The Autobots burned a hole in the rock, but Coby got electrocuted.

After finding Gigantion, they find that massive cities on the surface and those bits of the planet were torn off and made to form a ring. Searching the entire city, Safeguard brings them to a rock blocking a tunnel. After scratching and blasting, the Kids and the Mini-Cons found a station that has been abandoned. Safeguard explains that the people of Gigantion build cities then abandon them. Once again searching, Scattershot found huge tremors that lead the Autobots right to a construction site. One of the workers accidentally dropped a big girder which was crushed Landmine. Then a big Transformer came in and saved him. Introducing himself as Metroplex, the Autobots ask him about the Cyber Planet Key. Metroplex's friend Quickmix says that the Key is at the center of the planet. Unfortunately, no one can go back to the abandoned cities and the Autobots must respect their traditions. Suddenly, while the Autobots are trying to motivate Metroplex and Quickmix to help them retrieve the Cyber Planet Key of Giant Planet, a worker came in saying that a miscreant named Menasor was wreaking havoc. It was then revealed that Menasor had joined Megatron, hoping to get better respect from the Decepticon Leader.

The Autobots who were not able to return to their original dimension because of the collapse of the Space Bridge so they attempt to artificially create a Space Bridge of their own with the power of the three Cybertronian ships. After digging out Atlantis and building their Space Bridge Generator, they were successful in creating a bridge. Suddenly, swarms of Laserbeaks came out of them. Outnumbered, Vector Prime had no choice but to destroy the generator. Once he did, the Laserbeaks vanished. Their only other option was to go through the time-space tunnel but it only opens every year. But Vector Prime could use his time powers to send them back to when the tunnel didn't close and when they came to this universe. Jolt interrupts, saying that it could work but the power used will cost Vector Prime his life! Vector Prime was willing to make the sacrifice. When he was traveling the time stream into the future, he found that the black hole had ended time itself. Still, Optimus would not let him make the sacrifice. Vector Prime explains that he had seen cataclysms and wars beyond the reach of time. Even if he is gone, he will still exist as long as time still runs. The Autobots got Lemuria and Atlantis up and running. Vector Prime said good-bye to the Mini-cons and Safeguard. As the three ships are beamed through time to the tunnel they encountered past Ogygia. At the end of the tunnel, they watch as Vector Prime's body is pulled atom by atom. Saluting him, they head off for Cybertron. | |||||

The Autobots split up to find Galvatron. When they returned to Primus, they found he was in the state of recharging. Earth was having major storms and meteor showers sending Jetfire and Evac to help. Elsewhere, Galvatron was using his power to control the black hole. On Velocitron, roads were collapsing so Override goes to save the inhabitants. On the Jungle Planet, it was pulled through the space bridge by a powerful force. The Autobots used Primus to create a bridge to evacuate everyone. But the storms were causing it to fall. Leobreaker set out in Ogygia to save them. Down below, Scourge was willing to stay behind. Snarl tries to snap some sense into him and Scourge's raw emotion cause the temple to break up into the spaceship, Hyperborea. On Velocitron, Override brought everyone to help out. On Earth, the Autobots were helping the citizens while Evac and Crosswise head to the North Pole. Meanwhile, the black hole had swallowed the Jungle Planet. Evac and Jetfire brought every Autobots including the Earth Decepticons. Once everyone was together, Primus' power merges the four ships into the Ark. | |||||

The Autobots confront Galvatron to take the Omega Lock and Planet Keys. However, Galvatron is drawing out the power of the Planet Keys and used it to make his remaining Decepticon troops to grow in size and power. In the midst of the battle between the Transformer forces, the Leaders of each planet face Galvatron. Galvatron uses the Keys to grow and explains his plan to use the black hole to destroy the universe and remake it in his own design. Furious to learn that Galvatron's ambition allowed him to disregard even his own comrades, all the 5 leaders fought and defeated Galvatron together with the combined power of their Cyber Keys. Galvatron sent the Omega Lock and Planet Keys hurtling into the Black Hole in an effort to have it implode everything. The Autobots saw the Planet Keys and the Omega Lock scattered. Each leader got their respective Keys and Optimus heads for the Omega Lock with Coby guiding him. Once Optimus got the Lock, he heard Vector Prime's voice. The Lock and Keys heads for Primus and awakened him. Primus then used the power to destroy the Black Hole using the Ark's main cannon, eliminating the disaster once and for all. Primus transforms back into Cybertron itself, as a beautiful planet with cities, vegetation, roads and atmosphere. Meanwhile, Galvatron's minions abandoned their allegiance to him. On Earth, the kids are reunited with their families. | |||||

On Cybertron, Optimus can't help but wonder. Galvatron was encouraged by Starscream to continue fighting, (although Starscream was in his imagination). The Autobots built rocket engines to move Jungle Planet back to where it was. Galvatron damaged the rocket boosters, and then challenged Optimus Prime in the command center to a final battle. The Autobots attempted to salvage the situation, along with the remaining Decepticons (after they were free from Galvatron) who arrived to lend them a hand. Meanwhile, both Optimus Prime and Galvatron were ravaged from each other's attacks. Galvatron uses an energy scimitar to cut down one of Optimus Prime's wings, causing serious damage. The ghost of Vector Prime appears before Optimus Prime and urged him not to lose this battle, also lending him the power of his own sword. Using the matrix of leadership, Optimus powers up into a golden mode similar to that of the planet leaders. Optimus Prime and Galvatron battle it out, using their swords. Optimus Prime uses the sword to destroy Galvatron. Galvatron mumbled his last words before he disintegrated, signaling his death. | |||||

Representatives of each planet have successively gathered together on Cybertron. The first Space Peace Conference opens with Optimus Prime. Colonel Franklin suggests hiding the Keys and the Omega Lock. Optimus Prime makes a proposal for the construction plan of a new space bridge that would connect the entire universe. All the representatives agreed to the proposal, and the project began. Optimus Prime, who wishes to take part in the project, made Jetfire the new leader of the Autobots. Override passed leadership over to Hot Shot, who won a race despite his weight and size, desiring to take part on the new Space Bridge project as she wanted to race on new planets. Evac and the Earth Decepticons too wanted to go on the project, leaving Crosswise in charge of Earth. Scourge who was unable to find someone who is able to defeat him and become the new leader of Jungle Planet, sent Leobreaker, Undermine and Brimstone on the project instead. Metroplex and the inhabitants of Giant Planet went on the Space Bridge project. A new journey thus begins with the Cybertronian ships heading to the four corners of the universe. Thunderblast, Crumplezone and Ransack become Decepticons again and dragged Thundercracker along with them. In the ending credits, Coby and Lori married while Bud won an Oscar. Colonel Franklin and Dr. Suzuki are also married, with one child and a Second Child on the way. Starscream also emerges from his Inferno dimension and is immediately tracked down by Landmine, Mudflap, and Wing Saber. The agents of Planet X live on elsewhere. Jetfire is seen giving orders and pointing at something in a room full of screens. Also, Galvatron and Vector Prime are both shown to be alive and dueling in a purgatory type setting. With the four Transformer worlds at peace, the heroes bid farewell to old friends and embark upon a whole new adventure. As the humans wave off the mighty Cybertronian ships, the human heroes from the past two shows, Carlos, Rad, Alexis, and Kicker, now each 10 years older than in Energon, are seen in the crowd. | |||||
