A
continuation of the events after the movie, with Galvatron leading the
Decepticons against Rodimus Prime and the Autobots. By the end of the
third season, Optimus Prime has been resurrected, and is restored to
his old position as the Leader of the Autobots. Rodimus Prime steps
down and becomes Hot Rod again.
Taking place in the year 2005, this story is a pivotal point in the
Transformers continuity. A giant "monster planet" called Unicron is
introduced. Optimus Prime dies, and Megatron is reformed as Galvatron.
New characters appear, most notably the Autobots Hot Rod and Ultra
Magnus, and the Decepticons Cyclonus and Scourge. By the end of the
movie, Unicron is destroyed, Hot Rod is reformed as the Autobot leader,
Rodimus Prime, and the Decepticons have been vanquished from Cybertron.
66. Five Face of Darkness Part 1
In the midst of celebrations over Unicron's defeat, Wheelie and Blurr
are sent to Earth with a new transformation cog for Metroplex, and
Spike, Magnus and Kup are kidnaped by mysterious captors. Arcee,
Grimlock, Rod and Springer capture an alien who claims the Deceps are
behind the plot, so they go to Charr (the new Decep base) to
investigate, but the Deceps are in bad condition, low in energy, and
Cyclonus and Scourge are off looking for the missing Galvatron.
Although they decide the kidnapers must be someone else, Grimlock and
Rod have their cover blown and are in for a major trashing.
67. Five Face of Darkness Part 2
Arcee and Springer rescue Rod and Grimlock from Charr, but Rod appears
dead. He is actually making a subconscious journey into the Matrix,
where he is shown that the Quintessons are the real kidnapers. He wakes
up and prepares for a rescue on Quintessa. Meanwhile, Scourge and
Cyclonus find Galvatron, who is fully recovered and ready to resume the
fight with the Autobots. The Quintessons are about to feed Kup, Spike,
and Magnus to the Sharkticons for an unspecified crime when the others
show up and pull them out, but the Quints decide to destroy Quintessa
if it will mean killing the Autobots....
68. Five Face of Darkness Part 3
The exploding Quintessa sends the Autobots to the trash dump Goo, where
a garbage scow dismembers Springer. Wheelie and Blurr are stranded on a
distant planet, plagued by Decep attacks, space storms and mechanical
bats. Marissa Fairborne of Earth Defense Command (first appearance)
answers their distress call, but her ship is also blown up. The Quints
have made a deal with the decrepit Deceps, and offer them energy in
return for destroying the Autobots; all except Blitzwing accept and
follow the Quints to Goo, where they open fire on the stuck Autobots.
69. Five Face of Darkness Part 4
Galvatron and the others find Blitzwing still on Charr, who tells them
their comrades are on Goo. Galvatron calls off the fight to conference
with their suspicious new allies, the Quints. The Quints secure an
alliance with Galvatron by suggesting that there is a Decepticon Matrix
to be found. The Junkions give the Autobots a lift and repair Springer.
Rod is curious about the Quint's motives, and journeys into the Matrix
once more to get a final answer. It turns out the Quints are the
original creators of all Transformer eons ago when the Autobots and
Decepticons had not begun to fight. The Transformers revolted and drove
the Quints off the factory of Cybertron, and the Quints have been
looking for revenge ever since. Knowing this means deep trouble, Rod
and the others put Cybertron on full alert, but a clever trick destroys
Cybertron's power station, allowing the Deceps to literally walk in as
an all-out battle begins.
70. Five Face of Darkness Part 5
As the fighting on Cybertron continues, the Constructions have created
Trypticon back on Earth, who attacks the still transforming cog-less
Metroplex. Sky Lynx is sent to retrieve the cog from Wheelie and Blurr,
and ends up fighting off the new Predacons before making it back to
Earth. The cog is given to Metroplex during the battle, and he throws
Tryptie over the horizon. Blitzwing discovers that there is no
Decepticon Matrix. On Cybertron, the Quints sneak past the distracted
Deceps and Autobots and activate a immobilization device, which they
had previously tried unsuccessfully to use to stop the revolt of the
Transformers. All Transformers are immobilized, but Spike isn't and
manages to reverse the freeze ray. After the Quints escape, the
fighting is called off by Blitzwing, who forces Galvatron to retreat
for the time being.
71. The Killing Jar
The Quintessons are ever expanding their research on living beings, and
decide to conduct a study on a new group of subjects. Marissa,
Cyclonus, Magnus, and Wreck-Gar are captured and put into cages for
study. The Quints toy with them, gaging their interactions, and don't
notice the ship is dangerously near a black hole; they are sucked into
a negative world. The Quints end up studying how everyone works
together as they all cooperate to find a way of pulling the ship out.
72. Chaos
Blast-Off and discovers a wimpy alien using a very powerful cannon: a
bazooka-device which shoots green explosive crystals. The crystals are
"shed" from the body of Chaos, a giant humanoid monster that Kup met
ages ago. Galvatron goes to Chaos's planet and builds a giant gun (with
which he plans to destroy Cybertron). Kup and some other Autobots stop
him, and Kup turns the gun on his old enemy Chaos.
73. Dark Awakening
The Autobots discover the ship which contains the dead bodies of
several Autobots, including Optimus Prime. It seems, however, that
Optimus is not as dead as previously thought, and he reclaims the
Matrix from Rodimus Prime. The others soon realize that Optimus is not
acting under his own free will, and it is all a plot by the
Quintessons. The Matrix is returned to Hot Rod and the others escape,
leaving Optimus to pilot the ship to his death.
74. Forever is a Long Time Coming
The Quintessons build a device which focuses chronal energy in an
attempt to go back in time, stopping their robots from rebelling. A
team of Autobots end up in Cyberton's past, fighting against the
Guardians, while a timid robot from the past, A-3, is transported to
the 21st century. The time-travel mechanism eventually goes berzerk,
threatening the entire universe as time begins to lose meaning.
Eventually, A-3 is returned to the past, where he deactivates the
Guardian robots, and bids the Autobots to return home. Later, an
Autobot notes that A can stand for "Alpha" and 3 can stand for
"Trion"...
75. Starscream's Ghost
Trying to escape from Galvatron and the Decepticons who want him
destroyed, Octane befriends Autobot Sandstorm, who gets him asylum. The
Decepticons, however, track him down and attack him on Cybertron, where
he takes refuge in a Decepticon crypt. He then encounters Starscream's
ghost, who posesses Cyclonus and pretends to torture Octane. Galvatron
discovers the truth at the last minute and blasts Cyclonus. Cyclonus
comes to, with no memory of what happened; meanwhile Scourge is
posessed by Starscream...
76. Thief in the Night
After the battle with Metroplex, Tripticon has been vanquished, but
Decepticon Octane has found him, and has taken him to an oil-rich
country, where they do the king's bidding in exchange for special
energon. The Autobots catch on to what's happening after world
monuments begin to disappear and the evidence indicates a dinosaur
Transformer. The other Decepticons find Octane and he convinces
Galvatron he was scouting resources for him. The Autobots soon arrive
with Metroplex, and Trypticon is once more defeated.
77. Surprise Party
Following Daniel's surprise birthday party, Ultra Magnus saves
Wheelie's life. Both Daniel and Wheelie want to do something nice for
him, so they decide to throw him a surprise party. There's only one
problem: no one, including Ultra Magnus, knows his birthday. Daniel and
Wheelie go to the Autobots' records planetoid to learn the info.
Cyclonus sees this and goes and captures them, setting the planetoid on
a collision course with Cybertron. Daniel and Wheelie get off the
place, and the planetoid is destroyed.
78. Madman's Paradise
Spike Witwicky and his wife Carly host a banquet for a visiting
ambassador. Their son Daniel gets impatient and storms off. Grimlock
follows him, and they find a mystical chamber where Quintessons
banished their criminals. They slip through to a world of magic, and
fight on the Red Wizard's side, only to find out that he is a
Quintesson, and that they must help the Golden One. Ultra Magnus,
Blaster, Eject, Rewind, Ramhorn, and Steeljaw show up to help, they go
home, and everyone is happy.
79. The Nightmare Planet
Daniel is having nightmares, and the Autobots find themselves caught up
in them with Predacons. They manage to battle through the situations
they find themselves in with the help of an unconscious Daniel's
imagination. They soon discover that Daniel is the subject of a
Quintesson experiment, and rescue him.
80. Ghost in the Machine
Starscream's Ghost seeks a new body and reactivates Unicron's head,
orbiting Cybertron through the body of Scourge. He is given three tasks
to fulfill in order to receive his body. He must first steal
Metroplex's eyes (but one is destroyed and one of Trypticon's must be
taken), then steal Trypticon's transforming cog, and finally connect
Unicron to Cybertron as his new body. Scourge cuts out of the deal, and
the plan to give Unicron a new body is stopped, but Starscream has his
body, although he finds himself drifting through space aimlessly.
81. Web World
Galvatron is brought to a world in order to repair his deranged mind.
Psychologists try every treatment that they have to try to cure him,
but they all fail. When they run out of options, they decide to use a
treatment that would destroy the "damaged" part of Galvatron's brain.
Cyclonus realizes that that would turn his leader into a mental
vegetable and puts up a fight. In all the commotion, Galvatron breaks
free and destroys the planet using the knowledge he gained in his
mindmeld.
82. Carnage in C-Minor
The Transformers find a planet where sound technology is the norm, and
three people use their combined voices as a super weapon. The Deceps
convince the soprano female, who is dissatisfied with her society, to
join them; Soundwave records her voice and wreaks havoc. The Autobots
hook up with the alto, her lover, and she rejoins them. The Deceps
manage to record the bass voice, and prepare to attack Metroplex with
the three voices; Blaster counters them with the "anti-sound" of the
singers.
83. The Quintesson Journal
Two ancient races are at war. The Quintessons have been aggravating the
war for centuries(?) so that they can sell arms to both sides. The
Autobots eventually discover a lost Quintesson Journal detailing these
activites and display it at a peace conference they set up between the
two races. The races call off the war and go their separate ways.
84. The Ultimate Weapon
Galvatron claims to have a new weapon which is capable of mass
destruction which he uses as a threat to get what he wants. First Aid,
a pacifist by nature, leaves his fellow Autobots after failing to stop
Swindle from stealing Metroplex's transformation cog. First Aid is
finally persuaded by Hot Spot to return, and he steals Trypticon's
transformation cog and installs it in Metroplex. Rodimus realizes
Galvatron is bluffing about the weapon or he would have already used
it, and the Decepticons retreat.
85. The Big Broadcast of 2006
The Quintessons transmit subliminal messages over the Junkeons'
airwaves in an attempt to control them. The Junkeons first become
hostile and then generous -- a phase in which they decide to share
their doctored airwaves with the other races in the galaxy, spreading
the subliminal messages even further. Cyclonus attempts to convince
Galvatron of the strategic possibilities of this but he refuses to
listen, so Cyclonus investigates on his own.
86. Fight or Flee
Sandstorm is the leader of a group of pacifist Autobots on a planet
with a rich energy core called Paratron. The Deceps find the planet and
take it over; the Autobots on the planet will not fight them, as they
have sworn off war to keep their planet peacful. The other Autobots
land on the planet and convince their compatriots that fighting is the
only way to get rid of the Deceps. The Deceps decide to blow up the
planet if they can't keep it, and all Autobots are evacuated to
Cybertron.
87. The Dweller in the Depths
In a plot to destroy the Transformers and reclaim Cybertron, the
Quintessons convince Galvatron and the Decepticons to unleash a
half-organic, half-metallic beast located at the center of Cybertron.
It attacks the entire planet, forcing the Autobots to eject a newly
installed power core to prevent the beast from becoming unstopable.
88. Only Human
Rodimus, Magnus, Arcee, and Springer are captured by humans led by
Cobra Commander and their consciousnesses are removed. They find
themselves in human bodies, and barely escape being killed in a trash
compactor. Meanwhile, their Transformer bodies are going to be used to
infiltrate Autobot City and destroy the remaining Autobots. Springer
manages to be the pilot of his own body and rescues the other
Transformer-humans and then attacks Autobot City straight on to let
them know something is wrong. The Autobots are returned to their bodies
by Perceptor.
89. Money is Everything
The Technobots are patrolling Earth with Marissa Fairborne and capture
a smuggler who has been double crossed by the Quintessons. He takes his
ship and some of the Technobots to the Quintesson base against the
plans of Fairborne. The others follow and are attacked by the
Terrorcons, who are being controlled by the Quintessons on timers. The
smuggler uses a clever ploy to reenergize the damaged Technobots using
the device he smuggled, and Abominus and the Quintessons are defeated.
90. Grimlock's New Brain
Galvatron attempts to sabotages the Autobots' new power source on
Cybertron by introducing particles that cause Transformers to go out of
control. The Autobots travel through the subterranian caves of
Cybertron to shut down the malfunctioning power source, and Grimlock is
charged with the particles, which makes him brilliant. Galvatron is
determined to find more of the particles and discovers they only exist
in Unicron's brain. The Decepticons and Terrorcons travel to Unicron's
head and get a new supply, but Grimlock has anticipated this and the
Autobots counterattack. The Autobots are being defeated by the
particles, but Grimlock creates the Technobots to battle the Terrorcons
who have formed Abominus. Grimlock's incredible knowledge is
transferred to Computron. The 'cons are defeated and their supply of
the particles is destroyed.
91. Call of the Primitives
During a huge battle, all of the "primitive" Transformers are summoned
to a planet. An energy creature has been unleashed, and it drains the
life energy of all the other Transformers. Its creator, Primacron, was
also responsible for Unicron and many of the primitives, and his
assistant believes that only the instincts of those Transformers can
stop the intellect of Primacron. All except Grimlock are defeated and
he stops the energy being who has betrayed Primacron by throwing the
system into reverse.
92. Face of the Nijika
Long ago, the Quintessons locked up a race of people in some kind of
quadrant lock to prevent them from using the light of the stars to do
wonderous things which would present a danger to their own power.
Running from the Autobots, the Quintessons retreat to that planet, but
the Autobots follow and the quadrant lock device becomes damaged. The
race trapped on the planet hate both the Quintessons and their robots,
causing trouble for the Autobots. Perceptor is separated from the
others and he is locked in microscope mode. One of the natives carves
out his Autobot symbol and a vital component beneath it which he uses
to repair a robot astronaut from before the first coming of the
Quintessons. Perceptor manages to take control of this robot and the
two of them become friends. The Quintessons also need Perceptor's
component to fix their quadrant lock device so they kidnap Perceptor's
friend and force him to give it up. The Autobots attack at that time,
defeat the Quintessons, and take the planet out of the quadrant lock.
93. The Burden Hardest to Bear
Rodimus is feeling annoyed at having to be the leader. Coincidentally,
he has a run-in with some Decepticon cars and crashes down a
mountainside, losing the Matrix. The 'cons bring it to Galvatron, who
attempts to use it to soup-up his cannon but fails. He orders Scourge
to destroy it, but Scourge takes the Matrix into himself and becomes
super-powerful. He rebels against Galvatron and attacks Earth. Hot Rod,
is jubilant over not having to deal with leadership anymore, but ends
up defeating Scourge and retakes the Matrix, realizing it is his
responsibility.

body and bring it back to Earth. One of the scientist has a grudge
against Prime and Transformers and wants to use him as bait to set the
other Autobots up. The scientists discover their ship has been covered
in spores that induce hate and plan to use these on the Autobots.
Another scientist warns the Autobots of the trap, but she is not
informed of the whole plan and the Throttlebots and Aerialbots, as well
as many Autobots are infected. The Decepticons arrive, intending to
steal the metal, but are themselves infected, except for Galvatron. The
infected Transformers go on a rampage, infecting Transformers and
humans alike. Rodimus escapes and shuts down Metroplex, but is pursued
