Resumen:
The Autobots discover the ship which contains the dead bodies of
several Autobots, including Optimus Prime. It seems, however, that Optimus
is not as dead as previously thought, and he reclaims the Matrix from Rodimus
Prime. The others soon realize that Optimus is not acting under his own free
will, and it is all a plot by the Quintessons. The Matrix is returned to Hot
Rod and the others escape, leaving Optimus to pilot the ship to his death.
El 23 Febrero de 1987 se emitió otra vez este episodio, pero con el final ligeramente cambiado, como preludio de los dos episodios de The Return of Optimus Prime.
