Skyfire zooms in to the rescue and gracefully airlifts Brawn and Windcharger from the thick of Decepticon danger. Windcharger desperately calls for Skyfire to return while Brawn bites off more than he can chew in the form of an angered Megatron. While the smaller Autobots are able to hold their own against Megatron’s lieutenants, the Decepticon leader proves too powerful for them and they scatter. Windcharger and Brawn skydive from the jet, tangling with Soundwave and Reflector while Skyfire goes to investigate the strange energy readings from the Incan temple. In short order, Skyfire is in the Andes, closing in on the Decepticons. Wheeljack immediately assigns him to fly back to Autobot headquarters to pick up Brawn and Windcharger before heading down to the Andes mountains. The massive jet emerges from the ice and transforms into robot mode. In the Arctic, Sideswipe and Wheeljack are jackhammering through the ice to resurrect the fallen warrior Skyfire. A reactionary elder proclaims that long-forgotten gods have come back to punish them, but her more level-headed granddaughter, Luisa, realizes that someone must have uncovered the fabled Crystal of Power.įreud would have had a field day with this. The nearby Peruvian mining town is abuzz with the sudden show of power from the ancient temple. Starscream tries to shift blame to Thundercracker for the faulty metal, but Megatron blames them both and has them stay behind at the temple while he soars to a nearby mining town to find replacement metal. The metal, however, proves inadequate and melts with exposure to the raw energy unleashed from the Earth’s core. Laserbeak spots the Sky Spy, and Megatron tests the weapon by blowing the satellite out of the sky. With the metal acquired by Starscream, the Decepticons have fashioned a weapon frame to accommodate the crystal.

There, the Decepticons have followed an Incan legend to an ancient temple that rests on a shaft leading deep into the Earth’s core, capped by the Crystal of Power. The Autobots launch a Sky Spy to home in on any Decepticon activity, and the satellite picks up strange energy readings in the Peruvian Andes. The Autobots report back to Optimus Prime, who is puzzled about the Decepticons’ motives. The Decepticons get away with the loot by collapsing the refinery behind them. While patrolling a refinery, Trailbreaker and Brawn spot Thundercracker and Starscream stealing steel. 4.1 Animation and/or technical glitches.
