The terrorcons got into the super energon and grow in size. Ironhide's team takes a beating by Scorponok and Ironhide's three rhyming buddies are taken out. Ironhide gets the energon to Primus, who wakes up and energizes Optimus so he can merge with Omega Supreme, becoming Optimus Supreme and defeating Galvatron and the Decepticons. | ||||

Primus is still snoozing, Sixshot overloads the grid and causes a huge explosion that takes down most of the autobots, Cybertron heads for Plains planet and destroys all the planets in its path, Optimus sees/feels Unicron and goes to Cyberton to fight (into the gas).

Sixshot convinces Mirage, Snow Cat, and Demolisher that Starscream will stay Galvatron's favorite if they do not do something about it, but when they head out Sixshot traps them and heads for the Superenergon. Sally goes into the control room after Sixshot leaves and starts helping the Autobots. Sixshot attacks Galvatron but Scorponok saves him. Galvatron gets to the superenergon and gets to be really big, guess he was jealous. He squashes Sixshot like a bug under his foot. | ||||

Final Energon Episode. Unicron is the "force that drives the universe" and Primus uses the super energon, the autobots band together and give their combination sparks to Optimus, Galvatron wakes/becomes Unicron again. Optimus Prime becomes "Ultimate Optimus Supreme" so we have another Big Galvatron/Unicron vs Big Optimus Prime battle. Galvatron sacrifices himself by becoming one with the super energon and turns into the sun for Alpha Q's planets. Optimus said to Rodimus, "We're looking at a brand new universe, Rodimus. This is just the beginning. It's just the beginning." Galvatron dies along with Starscream and Mirage. Note: This episode is the last to feature Scott McNeil as Jetfire, Brent Miller as Hot Shot and Ward Perry as Landmine prior to them being Replaced by Brian Drummond, Kirby Morrow and Paul Dobson in the sequel series, Transformers: Cybertron |
