Secret Orders: Destroy the Autobot Base!!

Clouder has been taken back to the Autobot base in Japan and Minerva has been given the duty of giving him a tour around the place. As they go through various corridors Clouder is amazed at it all and finds out about one room in particular that he sneaks inside as Minerva doesn't notice he's missing until Shūta and Cab ask her where he is. With Minerva gone for now Clouder turns on the computers in the room.
 

As he brings up the blue prints for the Autobot base on the main screen, he takes out a small camera and starts to take photos of everything just before Shūta and Cab come into the room and ask him what he is doing in here. He tells them that he finds this equipment awesome and was mesmerised by it, and they then take him to the recreation room where over cookies and milk he tells the others that it's been his dream to have a powerful machine no-one else could have but he's a little scared over whether or not he can control it. The others tell him not to worry as they've dealt with their Transtector power and that he should think of it as becoming one with his Transtector.
 

Clouder says that he'll go and practice using his Transtector and as he leaves the others behind, he is actually going to go and update his real allies about his activity and is soon out of one of the base's exits where he flies Doubleclouder's eagle mode to the Decepticon Headmaster Jrs in a forest and gives them what he has found out so far. Metalhawk just happens to be returning to base and sees the Decepticon Headmaster Jrs but doesn't know what the mecha that was with them was.
 

When he gets back to base he tries to use one of the computers but it doesn't seem to be working and when he finally gets it to turn on a message comes up saying that all data from it has been deleted! He thinks that one of the Headmaster Jrs must have done it and asks them who did it and for some bizarre reason Minerva says that it was her, and that she did it accidentally when showing Clouder around. Hawk forgives her but still has his suspicions.
 

Overlord is in base mode again at a different location and the Decepticons inside now know the location of the Autobot base, although Giga says that knowing this is simply not enough at the moment. Wilder says that Clouder should be able to provide more information on where the base's weak points and Giga says that they will wait for now until their spy finds out more.
 

Clouder is already up to no good as he starts the next stage of his plan and sets an explosive device in part of the base, which explodes after a few minutes and whilst everyone else heads off to check out what has happened, he sneaks into the base's main control room and starts to look up more secret files and data about the Autobot base.
 

The Autobot Godmasters arrive at the base and as Ginrai talks to Hawk, he learns that the explosion was no accident and that they must have a saboteur in their rank. Hawk thinks that it is Clouder but Ginrai shoots down the idea saying that he trusts him, and Shūta overhears their conversation and tells Minerva and Cab. Minerva can't believe Hawk would think such things as Clouder saved her a few days a go, and later on the Autobots re-group to start repairing the damaged section of the base.
 

When Decepticon activity is detected outside the base, Metalhawk and Ranger head off to take a look but Clouder also goes, saying that he'll go and check one area in particular. This area of course is where the Decepticon Headmaster Jrs are and he gives them the rest of the research he has done, but then suddenly Metalhawk arrives and finds out that Clouder really is a spy for the Decepticons.
 

Soon Ranger and Lightfoot attack and find out from Metalhawk that this eagle mecha is actually Clouder, and he can transform into either an Autobot or a Decepticon. The two true Autobot Godmasters take him down and capture him, but they have been too late in stopping Clouder in completing his mission - the Decepticons now know everything they want to know about the Autobot base, and they now want to destroy it by luring out Ginrai and the other Autobot Godmasters away from the base so the Decepticons can destroy it more easily.
 

With Clouder back in the Autobot base and in no position to cause any more damage, the other Autobots can't believe that he is actually a Decepticon Godmaster as in another room Ginrai says sorry for not believing in Hawk in the first place. But they have bigger problems now as it is most likely that the Decepticons will attack the base and they need to be ready for it. But then the two of them see that Hydra and Buster are attacking a city, so Ginrai decides to go with the other Godmasters to stop them and save the people there.
 

As they all leave, the Decepticons see them and now that the most powerful Autobots are out of the way they prepare to start a full scale assault on the base as Hawk is trying to start repairs to the computer systems damaged. But Clouder has another surprise for them as before he left earlier, he planted another explosive device...
 

...which goes off, although none of the Autobots are hurt. But what the explosion has done has taken out the communications equipment meaning that they can't contact Ginrai and the others and basically meaning that they are on their own to deal with the Decepticon attack. Hawk tells the others to use the base's operational defence systems whilst he tries to get the barrier shield system back online.
 

The Decepticons slowly make their way through the forest, burning up parts of it on the way as they advance towards the base. Mega takes off in her jet and destroys the missile and laser turret defences as various parts of the base are destroyed and as the Autobots inside continue to work at trying to repair anything they can, they suddenly notice something outside...
 

...Overlord has transformed to base mode and is now waiting almost directly outside the base where he can use all of his firepower to full effect on the Autobots. What can they do now?

When Cancer first uses one of computers, it's interesting to note that the word "Autobot" can be seen clearly at one point, although Autobots are known as "Cybertrons" in Japan.

Cab's treehouse gets burned to the ground in this episode and it's likely that his pet parrot and armadillo were still inside and died since they never appear in the series again.

A new set of commerical bumpers are used in this episode, with ones using God Ginrai, Grand Maximus, Overlord and Black Zarak.
