Kidnapping?! The Targetted Jumbo Jet

Approaching London airport, a Japanese plane is heading in to land but as it gets closer a sudden storm appears before the jet and a cloud of thick fog is also there. The plane soon gets caught in the storm and starts to lose control, and the culprit is none other than Blood who is the one causing the storm and uses his power to take control of the plane.
 

Meanwhile at the Autobot base, Shuta is going around looking for cab in the nearby forest when he sees that, rather incredibly, his friend has built himself a large tree house for himself. Cab then appears and shows him the inside of his new home and then the two of them climb a tree and talk about how they both want to help the Autobots fight against the Decepticons, but they don't know how.
 

At the base, Lander has been sent to England and contacts Hawk, telling him that the British Navy and rescue teams have not been able to find anything out about the missing jet. Diver then contacts Hawk and tells him that another plane has gone missing, and all of the Autobots think that these mysterious plane disappearances have to be something to do with the Decepticons. Hawk then goes to join the others and bumps into Shuta and Cab who beg to go along as well, and he arranges for them to head to the UK on a plane.
 

As Metalhawk reaches England he sees that one of the missing planes has been found and it seems to have made an emergency landing on a beach, and already there is a rescue operation in full effect. He also finds that Diver is already at the scene and meets him, and the two of them change to their human pretender forms and go in to get a better look at what has happened to everyone on that plane.
 

Hawk hears about a girl who apparently wasn't hurt as badly as everyone else on the plane and so he and Diver go to the hospital to try and speak to her. This girl, Minerva, is at the hospital where she is glad to hear from a doctor that her parents are going to be okay when the Autobots find her and say that they are government investigators. They all head outside and she tells them that she saw some kind of big bat monster and then the whole plane started to shake, but the Autobots now know for sure that the Decepticons are the ones behind this.
 

Meanwhile, the Decepticon Pretenders are putting there plan into action, and have unleashed more of those zombie type creatures, now called Destroids, in a city, and they are working much better than the previous ones because they are actually living people used from the captured plane rather than resurrected corpses. The Decepticons are now after Dr. Blanieux, a famous biologist, for their own needs, and Blood has found out that he is going to be on a plane to Japan.
 

Cab and Shuta finally arrive in London where they meet Lander and Phoenix, and as they head to meet the other Autobots a news report shows that Rome is under attack by zombie creatures and the Autobots realise that these must be the passengers of the missing plane. The Autobots head for Rome but leave Cab and Shuta behind.
 

The Autobots arrive in Rome at night and use a special type of gas to knock out the zombies, and soon all of them are taken care of, and they can be healed and turned back to humans later. Metalhawk then sees the three Decepticon Pretenders on top of a tower and gives chase, but they get away and jump down a hole. Lander and Diver change back to their human Pretender shells and follow the Decepticons to see where they went.
 

Back in England Minerva introduces herself to Shuta and Cab and tells them that she wants to know more about these Decepticons but they find out more about her instead, and they are told that her father is the resident ambassador of Japan for the republic of Mont Porte. Later on Hawk visits the hospital again and finds out from Minerva's father that he and his wife are now feeling a lot better and are going to head on the next plane to Japan so he can continue his work and also meet Professor Blanieux. Hawk decides to take his team with them.
 

Later on nearly everyone is on the next plane for Japan but Hawk and Phoenix check things one last time but see nothing out of the ordinary, so they get onboard and Hawk meets Professor Blanieux for the first time. With all the passengers ready the plane takes off and heads to Japan, and the journey is peaceful with about two hours to go when...
 

...the plane starts to shake and purple lightning surrounds it. Hawk and Phoenix take a look out of one of the windows and they can just about make out Blood hiding under the clouds so they head outside with their battle suits on to fight him. Minerva sees this and is angry when Shuta tells them that they are Autobots, because they told her they worked for the government.
 

There isn't time to argue though because one of the female flight attendants has turned into a Destroid! And despite the best efforts of Shuta and Cab she lunges her way to the cockpit and knocks down the door and soon the pilots can't control their plane with her trying to kill them. Another battle is still ongoing with Blood changing into his robot mode and transforming to attack.
 

Blood has bought another part of the Seacon team with him though: Kraken. These new flying fish don't get to do much though because after firing a couple of shots each they are both blown up by the Autobots and seeing how he is outnumbered, Blood tells them not to forget this and then flies away.
 

Inside the plane Shuta and Cab overpower the Destroid by knocking her back and then smashing her head into a wall three times, but the plane is still heading straight towards the sea until Metalhawk and Phoenix save the day at the last second. Later on everyone is safely in Japan and Metalhawk says sorry to Minerva for telling a lie before but forgives them.
 

Minerva is going to be attending a school in Japan and since Cab and Shuta like her so much they ask her to go to the same one that they go to, although she says she'll have to think it over because she doesn't know if she can cope with those two. The narrator then ends the episode and says that disaster was narrowly averted and thanks to the efforts of Professor Blanieux, all of the Destroids have been turned back to humans again. But he then warns that the Decepticons will be back again, and what kind of attack will happen next?

The zombie like creatures now have a name: Destroids. Too bad that they never appear again in the series.

The Decepticons never really say why they want Professor Blanieux, but it's because they wanted him to improve their Destroids. Masterforce is a series where you don't get told everything all the time and you have to work things out for yourself.
