Synopsis

Starscream shows off the massive energon deposit that the Decepticons have located. After Megatron reminds his subordinate who's boss, he shows off what he'southward constitute — Night Energon, the claret of Unicron, which Starscream claims is said to have the power to resurrect the dead. Megatron inquires if Starscream is willing to volunteer to attempt it out, but it turns out they withal have Cliffjumper's corpse handy.

He'south not taking the words of a group of unaccountable aliens with their own agenda as gospel. Scrapheads!

At Autobot HQ, Optimus Prime tells the kids that the Autobots volition have to protect them, every bit the Decepticons volition likely exist interested in the Autobots' new allies. A proximity alarm lets the Autobots know that Agent Fowler, their liaison with the US government, is paying them a visit. Fowler is non happy with the Autobots' antics during the recent freeway chase, but Bulkhead points out no humans were hurt. After Prime number's assurances that the Autobots will accept care of things, Fowler leaves.

Megatron uses the Dark Energon on Cliffjumper, who revives as a snarling, savage brute and immediately attacks a couple of Decepticon soldiers. The affair that was Cliffjumper then turns on Megatron, who slices him in two and announces that the Nighttime Energon is the key to a vast, indestructible regular army.

"Starscream, this is the police force! We take you surrounded!"
"Oh grime!"

Ratchet reports that he's detected Cliffjumper'due south betoken, and the chance that Cliffjumper's alive is likewise much for the Autobots to resist. Leaving the kids with Ratchet, they take the GroundBridge out. Ratchet explains the basis bridge to the amazed kids and threatens to send them to Tokyo. Meanwhile, the rest of the Autobots arrive in the energon mine and outset fighting Decepticon drones. Starscream alerts Megatron, who feels he needs more time to prepare to face Optimus and orders the transport made fix for departure. He also orders Starscream to blow up the mine. As the boxing rages, Arcee spots Cliffjumper. The other Autobots embrace her, and she reaches her fellow Autobot, or what's left of him, just to detect what the Decepticons accept done. Starscream stops by to drop off a bomb before making a rapid go out. The Autobots race through the mine ahead of the explosion, back to their entry signal, as Optimus radios Ratchet to order the opening of the ground bridge.

"That better not be Barry White y'all're playing, Jack."

After the team arrives dorsum at base, Arcee tells the others what she saw. She becomes dizzy, and Ratchet scans her and finds contagion on her wrist. While Arcee goes and gets cleaned up, the kids explain to Optimus that they really need to get home, or their relatives will send the cops out looking for them. Prime assigns Bulkhead to accept Miko dwelling, Bumblebee to take care of Raf, and Arcee to Jack. Arcee and Jack arrive home shortly before Jack's mother hauls upwardly in her motorcar. Mom'southward less than impressed that Jack appears to have bought a motorcycle, but Jack talks her around. The next morning, despite Jack'southward protests that information technology's a Sat, Arcee insists that they need to get to HQ.

On the Decepticon ship, Megatron is skeptical that Optimus perished in the destruction of the energon mine. Starscream is concerned that Megatron is being affected by too much exposure to the Dark Energon, but Megatron responds past taking a sliver of the substance and plunging information technology into his own spark.

Ratchet'southward analysis of the Dark Energon sample he retrieved from Arcee is incomplete due to his lack of the necessary engineering. As he moves the sample to another part of the lab, some of it drips on the manipulator arm Bulkhead broke earlier. Unseen by Ratchet, the arm twitches into life, turning into a one-eyed, spider-similar creature.

Notes

Continuity notes

• Dark Energon is an extensive goal for Megatron in this continuity, first being used in the State of war for Cybertron games, as well as in the Transformers: Exodus novel. Megatron and Starscream's introductory conversation nearly the substance is very expository for the benefit of viewers who haven't read the book or played the game, to the extent that information technology sounds like neither of them has encountered it before, and neither Arcee nor Ratchet is indicated to take whatever familiarity with the substance, despite having seen it first-mitt back during the war. And yet, Arcee does compare Decepticon experiments during the war on Cybertron to the substance'south event on Cliffjumper, without explicitly naming the stuff (though previously it didn't make anyone crazed zombies.... On the other hand, it was never used on a dead guy earlier (that nosotros know of) - in fact, it always left deceased users and sought for living ones, which is kinda weird for a substance which could merely rise the user from the dead. Pitiful, Cliff, them'southward the breaks). It's all a bit wobbly; while the drawing almost certainly seems to take been written equally if it is the characters' first encounter with Dark Energon, the dialogue does take enough wiggle room if yous're obstinate, like the states!
  • It'south never actually explained where Megatron got the behemothic Dark Energon crystal seen aboard the Nemesis; he returned without any massive objects in tow. Unless he has a subspace storage pocket.

Transformers references

• The majestic goo shares the property of changing ordinary machines into Transformers with the AllSpark.

Errors

• The Autobots have no shadows when they walk into the primary mine.
• June parks her car in the driveway and goes to bed. In the morning information technology is moved. It could be explained by her going to piece of work except that Jack says that she is nevertheless sleeping.
• When Megatron revives Cliffjumper, his arm cannon is gone, reappears when he sheathes his sword, disappears once more when he walks over to Cliffjumper's corpse, and reappears one concluding time subsequently he kicks Cliff off the ledge.
• When the Autobots achieve the energon mine and Bulkhead says, "Energon mine" whilst his blaster transforms back to his hand, part of the blaster remains floating over his paw.
• Fowler rebukes Optimus Prime over contempo Autobot-Decepticon activities, specifically Arcee's incursion with the Vehicons. His tally of the impairment does non line up with the animation: "7 wrecks, 34 fender-benders, a three 60 minutes traffic jam." The streets of Jasper are shown to be remarkably empty, devoid of any other cars - or humans for that matter, after Sierra and her friend besprinkle - and barely a vi vehicles shown on the highway... which inexplicably concluded in a closed route anyhow, which is what necessitated Arcee's jump into the drainage culvert.

Trivia

• The energon mine is in Nebraska, as Fowler will point out in the next episode.
• When this episode premiered on the Vortexx cake, Jack's line about "robots who can die" was cut.
• Adaptations of this episode include a prose version as part of Megatron Returns, and a screen-capture-manner comic equally part of A Rising Darkness.
