Oh noes! It seems that Arcee and Wheelie have gotten themselves into a right old pickle with the Decepticon Headmasters, and are about
to get eaten when rootin' tootin' Daniel shows up saying that he'll take the Decepticons on. Daniel then pulls out his laser blaster and starts shooting as all
three of the Decepticons charge towards him.

|
|
With Daniel's shots destroying the Decepticons it looks like this is the end of the evil Headmasters, but once we kills all 3 it's revealed that he's just playing a game Highbrow created for him. Arcee is impressed with Daniel's skill but Wheelie isn't, saying that Highbrow fixed it so anyone could hit the target easily. Wheelie then challenges Daniel to shoot a small ball, but Daniel ends up shooting Wheelie in the arm instead.

Meanwhile the other Autobots are trying to track down the Decepticons when Highbrow picks up an SOS signal from planet Darhos. The signal reveals that the planet is being invaded by the Decepticons, but it's quite some distance away. The Autobots head there at full speed.
|
|
|
|
Pinpointing the exact location of where the SOS came from, the Autobots land on Darhos and see an ice wasteland with no signs of life. Nobody quite understands why the Decepticons would attack a place like this but Chromedome and the others go and take a look around and find an energy production plant nearby, where several people run out yelling for help.

|
|
But before they get anywhere the Decepticon Headmasters appear and kill them all. It's revealed that this place is a penal colony and that these workers were trying to escape. The Decepticons then attack the Autobots, but the Autobots are enraged that all these people just got killed and proceed to beat the living daylights out of their enemies, who run off.

|
|
The Autobots follow the Decepticons inside but end up losing them. However, they do find
three other guys in there who refuse to answer any questions apart from telling them that the SOS signal was sent out by a Battle Beast. The Trainbots are sent out to pick up the
three men and take them back to Fortress' ship. Inside the ship Fortress tells the men to go and rest and that they can talk later on.

Arcee takes the three men to their new quarters, and later on Wheelie decides to e his usual stupid self when he starts nosing around. Daniel tells him to stop it so Wheelie pushes him away only for Daniel to accidentally hit the door switch. The leader of the
three men starts talking to Daniel and asks to be friends with him...only to then pull a knife out and tell Wheelie that he'll kill Daniel unless he gets to talk to Fortress right now.

Fortress uses a camera to see the men. The leader explains that he wants this ship so he can use it to go and destroy the ones that made him and the others work in the penal colony, and if he doesn't get it, he'll kill Daniel. Fortress starts buying Daniel time by asking more questions and Daniel bites the knife wielding guy in the arm, giving him enough time to get away. The 3 men then get blasted by paralysis rays and Twincast, Arcee and Wheelie enter the room. Twincast assures Daniel that the men aren't dead and will return to normal in a few seconds.

Later on the three men get to explain their story. The leader tells Fortress that years a go, the planet used to be peaceful with all people living healthy lives but an elite group of fatties decided to take over the world's economy and start having a great time by throwing large parties and taking all of the planets energy, whilst all other people lived in poverty. A resistance was formed but destroyed and it's members but into penal colonies to work. What these men wanted to do was take Fortress' ship to go and destroy the elite upper class.

Back in the ice wasteland Counterpunch appears to Chromedome and the others and tells them that a Battle Beast called Tekna was the one who sent the SOS. Tekna was also the lead designer of Scorponok and knows his only weak spot. However, the Decepticons are currently frantically searching for Tekna in the underground caves, as he has escaped from one of the penal colonies. Chromedome and Highbrow go to search for him whilst Hardhead and Brainstorm head back to Fortress.

In the upper class sector, Galvatron has met up with the one who seems to be the king of the rich. Galvatron says that he and the other Decepticons will protect them from the Autobots but only if they let them take as much energy as they want. The king laughs and says they can take that much, which Galvatron is most happy with. Later on lots of energon cubes are being transported and stored in Scorponok. Soundblaster tells Galvatron that the Autobots are on the planet, so he has Sixshot and the Horrorcons head off to sort them out.

Meanwhile Fortress
lands his ship near to the grand palace where the upper class are, but almost as
soon as they land the Decepticons attack them. The Trainbots take the three men off the ship whilst Hardhead and Brainstorm go out to fight but are outnumbered.
|

In the caves Chromedome and Highbrow manage to find Tekna, who says that he wanted to find the Autobots so he could tell them what Scorponok's weak spot is. And he's about to tell them when oh shit Weirdwolf decides to blow a hole through his back. Chromedome fights Weirdwolf whilst Highbrow takes Tekna back to Fortress' ship to see if he can save his life. Highbrow takes him to the medical lab and then goes back outside to join the battle.
|
|
|
|
Chromedome rejoins the others having scared Weirdwolf off, but the fight isn't going that well as Brainstorm and Hardhead are low on energy. But that's when Chromedome tells everyone to do the cross head formation, where the
four of them get together and re-energize each other. Having done this, the Autobots then use the master shot attack by taking one of Fortress' ships guns and blasting the Decepticons.

Scorponok transforms into robot mode and knocks them all out of the way, only to then find himself battling Fortress. Galvatron then tells Scorponok to leave the Autobots and pull out as he's using up to much energy. With the Decepticons retreating once more (but this time actually leaving with quite a bit of energy) Fortress tells the others not to chase after them as they have one last task to do here.
|
|
|
|
A few minutes later Fortress finds the King of the upper class, who offers the Autobots as much energy as they want in return for their protection. Fortress tells him that his reign is now over and that a new leader will take over (meaning the guy we saw earlier with the knife is now in charge). With the planet safe from the Decepticons, the Autobots head back out into space.

Onboard the ship Tekna is so weak that he can't even talk, but he raises his left arm revealing a small portion of microfilm. This is the last action Tekna does though as he dies seconds later. The Autobots give him a space burial and then start to study the microfilm, but Highbrow says it's very complicated, but he'll work on it and wont' stop until he finds Scorponok's weak spot.
This episode marks the last appearance of the Battle Beasts.
