It's never actually explained where Megatron got the giant Dark Energon crystal seen aboard the Nemesis he returned without any massive objects in tow.It's all a bit wobbly while the cartoon almost certainly seems to have been written as if it is the characters' first encounter with Dark Energon, the dialogue does have enough wiggle room if you're obstinate, like us! On the other hand, it was never used on a dead guy before (that we 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. And yet, Arcee does compare Decepticon experiments during the war on Cybertron to the substance's effect on Cliffjumper, without explicitly naming the stuff (though previously it didn't make anyone crazed zombies. Megatron and Starscream's introductory conversation about the substance is very expository for the benefit of viewers who haven't read the book or played the game, to the extent that it sounds like neither of them has encountered it before, and neither Arcee nor Ratchet is indicated to have any familiarity with the substance, despite having seen it first-hand back during the war. Dark Energon is an all-encompassing goal for Megatron in this continuity, first being used in the War for Cybertron games, as well as in the Transformers: Exodus novel.Arcee's suggestion of weekend entertainment meets Jack's disapproval. "You can watch cartoons back at base with Bumblebee." "Well, if I don't call my mom, like, now, I'm pretty sure the cops will be out looking for me." Miko, Raf and Jack recognize the lasting appeal of Transformers. Megatron in a private moment with his prize. "Blood of Unicron, how I might fathom the depths of your mystery, become worthy of wielding your astonishing power!" Bulkhead destroys Ratchet's medical claw and starts a running gag. "Team Prime knows when to use force, and how much to use!" "They have no protective shell! If they get underfoot, they will go.squish." "Then, as your humble servant, shall I ready the space bridge to bring forth the Decepticon army you have surely gathered during your three years in space?" Unseen by Ratchet, the arm twitches into life, turning into a one-eyed, spider-like creature. As he moves the sample to another part of the lab, some of it drips on the manipulator arm Bulkhead broke earlier. Ratchet's analysis of the Dark Energon sample he retrieved from Arcee is incomplete due to his lack of the necessary technology. Starscream is concerned that Megatron is being affected by too much exposure to the Dark Energon, but Megatron responds by taking a sliver of the substance and plunging it into his own spark. On the Decepticon ship, Megatron is skeptical that Optimus perished in the destruction of the energon mine. The next morning, despite Jack's protests that it's a Saturday, Arcee insists that they need to get to HQ. Mom's less than impressed that Jack appears to have bought a motorcycle, but Jack talks her around. Arcee and Jack arrive home shortly before Jack's mother hauls up in her car. Prime assigns Bulkhead to take Miko home, Bumblebee to take care of Raf, and Arcee to Jack. 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. She becomes dizzy, and Ratchet scans her and finds contamination on her wrist. "That better not be Barry White you're playing, Jack."Īfter the team arrives back at base, Arcee tells the others what she saw. The Autobots race through the mine ahead of the explosion, back to their entry point, as Optimus radios Ratchet to order the opening of the ground bridge. Starscream stops by to drop off a bomb before making a rapid exit. The other Autobots cover her, and she reaches her fellow Autobot, or what's left of him, only to discover what the Decepticons have done. As the battle rages, Arcee spots Cliffjumper. He also orders Starscream to blow up the mine. Starscream alerts Megatron, who feels he needs more time to prepare to face Optimus and orders the ship made ready for departure. Meanwhile, the rest of the Autobots arrive in the energon mine and start fighting Decepticon drones. Ratchet explains the ground bridge to the amazed kids and threatens to send them to Tokyo. Leaving the kids with Ratchet, they take the GroundBridge out. Ratchet reports that he's detected Cliffjumper's signal, and the chance that Cliffjumper's alive is too much for the Autobots to resist. "Starscream, this is the police! We have you surrounded!"
