Synopsis
In theSouth ContinentofGaia,theAutorollersare digging upAngolmois Energyand using it to construct a base in the side of a mountain. Apparently, after failing to destroy theInsectrons,they were busted down to construction duty (much toAutojetter's dismay) and are once again second toStarscream(again, much to Autojetter's dismay). Autojetter has had enough and wants to kill the Insectrons for good so they can move up in rank.Autostingersays there can be no more failures, but has a plan. They will take the Angolmois Energy they have collected and spread it around the forest where the Insectrons live, thereby destroying the forest and the Insectrons within it. Autostinger reiterates that this is their last chance, unaware that Starscream is spying on them.
On theMoon,Moonremarks that thePredaconsare up to something.Artemisnotices that they're using Angolmois Energy, but not to build a fortress; an act which leaves her stumped.
OnGaia,meditating,Scubanotices a disturbance in the planet's atmosphere, caused by the Angolmois Energy. Realizing the severity of the issue, he drills underground and heads back to base. However, the heat from all the energy being released causes the subterranean river he's swimming through to boil. Scuba deviates to a side tunnel which leads him to the Autorollers' base. Autojetter gets the drop on him and knocks him out (Scuba blames his failure to notice Autojetter on having water in his ears). Scuba then wakes up, after having a nightmare about getting a perm at the barbers, and finds himself strapped to a chair and surrounded by the Autorollers.
Scuba praises their construction and tells the Autorollers that they are the only ones who understand how to use Angolmois Energy. The Autorollers are so touched by his words that they immediately offer him membership into their group. Scuba asks them to stop their construction, because it is so dangerous, but they refuse. Autojetter reveals their plan to burn the jungle and kill the Insectrons. Scuba says that they'll destroy the entire South Continent, but they claim that won't happen. Suddenly, a warning light goes off;someonehas opened up a pipe in the jungle, releasing the Angolmois Energy before construction could be finished.
At the Angolmois Energy's storage tanks, Starscream andBBare releasing the energy. Starscream hopes to destroy the jungle, the Insectrons and the Autorollers all in one blow. With the Autorollers finished, Starscream's place among the faction will be secured. As BB opens the pipe, he remarks that with the Autorollers gone, Starscream will have to do all their manual labor. Starscream despairs at this, as hehatesmanual labor.
As the Angolmois Energy races through the pipes to flood the base, the Autorollers realize they won't be able to escape in time. Their only hope is to rearrange the pipes to bypass the energy back beneath the planet's surface, where it came from. Scuba offers to help and they accept, freeing him. As they work overtime to rearrange the pipes,Galvatrontunnels by in drill-tank mode (apparently having survived sinking to the bottom of the river), slamming into one of the pipes. Transforming to dragon mode, Galvatron drags the pipe to the surface, inadvertently saving the Autorollers and Scuba, who would not have finished diverting the flow in time.
On the surface, Galvatron begins guzzling the Angolmois Energy which causes him to grow in size. From theGalvaburg II,Megastormwatches in disappointment that his brother has survived.DirgeandThrustthink it's great that Galvatron's back, until Megastorm reminds them what happened thelasttime he got drunk and went on a rampage. They immediately retract their joy. Horrified at the sight of the giant Galvatron, Starscream orders BB to close the pipe. Having now been cut off from his beverage, Galvatron begins mindlessly spitting fire in every direction. BB asks Starscream if he intends to take responsibility for his actions, but Starscream intends to pass the buck onto the Autorollers. The pair then transform and fly away.
On the moon, Artemis deduces that Galvatron gained the ability to convert Angolmois Energy into his own power after he took a bath in the stuff once before.
At the Maximal sub-base,NAVIrelays the images of Galvatron's rampage to the Maximals. Scuba then contacts them and says that he has a plan to stop their foe. The Maximals then hurry to the construction site to meet with him. Once they arrive, Scuba suggests that they feed Galvatron as much Angolmois Energy as they can until he gets a debilitating "stomachache". Scuba then calls out the Autorollers, who promise to help stop Galvatron before he can destroy everything.Lio Convoyoffers to distract Galvatron while Scuba works the pipe and the rest figure out a way to pour the Angolmois Energy down his throat.
Lio Convoy lures Galvatron out, then when he trips, grabs his jaw and holds it open. On Scuba's command, the Maximals open up the pipe and all four Autorollers guide the spray from the hose directly into Galvatron's mouth. Force fed, Galvatron proceeds to grow and grow until he explodes. His body returned to normal, the Predacon is sent flying over the ocean, where he proceeds to crash and sink to the seabed. He wakes up, having no memory of anything that had just happened.
Back at the construction site, Scuba repeats his praise of the Autorollers' abilities, much to their amusement. Lio Convoy asks them to stop working for the Predacons, but they refuse, claiming that they cannot just quit their jobs. Autojetter informs them that they'll be enemies tomorrow, and the Autorollers return to their cave. Lio Convoy remarks that they're too good to be their enemies.
