This episode departs from the previous two's synthetic energon plot and delves into the prophecy that was first mentioned in the season two trailer that was released last month.
"And it was written in the Covenant of Primus that when the 47 Spheres align a perpetual conflict will culminate upon a world forged from chaos..."
We learn that the planetary alignment mentioned above will focus on Earth and is a mere days away. Both factions are aware of the prophecy, but Megatron is much more dogmatic in his interpretation. We also learn that the Decepticons have been raiding various facilities to construct their Space Bridge 2.0, and only require an energy source.
Agent Fowler notifies our heroes that the Decepticons have initiated another raid to acquire the aforementioned energy source. Ratchet land bridges Prime, Bulkhead, and Acree to the scene. Bumblebee is taking Raf out to race his radio controlled car when he gets the call. Just as he is about to drop Raf off he is spotted by Megatron who is also on his way to the battle. Megatron opens fire and strikes Bumblebee several times. Bumblebee seems to only be stunned, but Raf is not so lucky.
The Autobots are wrapping up the battle when Megatron arrives. He and Prime have their customary exchange of words, and Bumblebee walks up holding Raf's limb body in his hands. Prime immediately calls for a land bridge and Megatron makes off with the energy generator.
Back at the Autobot base Ratchet is monitoring Raf, but admits his lack of knowledge of human physiology and medicine are keeping him from helping Raf. He does however diagnose him with Dark Energon poisoning from Megatron's blast. Jack suggests they call in his mother who is a nurse, Ratchet reluctantly agrees.
In the mean time Prime and Bulkhead are infiltrating the Decepticon ship. After dispatching a few drones they reclaim the generator and Prime sends Bulkhead back to base. He's come to the conclusion that he must destroy Megatron and wants a one on one battle. Prime fights his way to the control room of the ship and uses one of the beaten Decepticon drone's communicator to summon Megatron. Megatron however, isn't on the ship. He's off tracking down a mysterious volcano that he's been having visions of. Megatron feels he's been drawn to this volcano to build his new Space Bridge and harvest Dark Energon. He orders his Decepticons to stand down, and bring Prime to the volcano.
Back at Autobot base Ratchet determines that even though Energon is devastating to humans the only way to fight the Dark Energon that has infected Raf is an infusion of regular Energon. Bumblebee donates some of his own Energon, and the transfusion is a success. Raf awakens and appears to be fine.
At the volcano Megatron and Prime are set to square off. Prime seems more determined than ever to finally put an end to Megatron. They utter the iconic, "One shall stand, one shall fall" line and the battle begins. Prime quickly gets the better of Megatron and at one point uses the wheels on his leg to do a burn-out across Megatron's face temporarily blinding him. Prime extends his sword and prepares to deliver the death blow, but Megatron captures the blade between his palms and turns the tide.
Now Megatron has the upper hand as the planetary alignment begins and the volcano starts to erupt. Megatron declares that all this time he was looking for planet Unicron it was here on Earth all along, as the volcano spews out Dark Energon. The episode ends here to be continued.............
