The Stunticons themselves end up biting off more than they can chew against some Autobots and get locked up. The Autobots are still in the dark about Megatron's latest plan, though, but there is a remedy from unsurprisingly Wheeljack. Advanced paint makes Optimus (as Motormaster), Jazz (as Dead End), Mirage (as Drag Strip), Sideswipe (as Breakdown), and Windcharger (as Wildrider) look exactly like each of the Stunticons. The plan is to infiltrate, learn about and foil Megatron's plan.

The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E40 | With the Stunticons operational and the Key in hand, the situation is definitely in the Decepticons' favor.

On top of that, despite his status, Silverbolt has acrophobia.

Upon learning that something is up, the Autobots quickly jump into action and search. It is practically a race to see who will be the first to find the Key and use it to access Vector Sigma.

Could Hollywood be ready for Hoist and his entourage Sunstreaker, Powerglide, Warpath, and Tracks?

Can the Autobot leader survive what awaits him in the hunter's castle and save the day?

Auto-Bop | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E33 | People are partying to music at a local dance club. They are really subtly being mind-controlled to obey Megatron's orders.

And can Dirge, Ramjet, and Astrotrain be kept at bay throughout all of this?

Becoming evil, the Constructicons set out to follow his orders, bringing them into conflict with their former friend, Omega Supreme.

Quest for Survival | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 2 | E28 | Though the Insecticons are a growing threat, a new insecticide may be able to stop them in their tracks. A trip into space is required to get it, but Bumblebee, Cosmos, and Spike easily succeed. The path back to Earth means a confrontation with the Morphobots, dangerous hybrids of plants and robots. As bad as a space confrontation is, things get worse when some Morphobots secretly arrive on Earth with Spike and the two Autobots. The whole team will have to find a way to tamp down this threat a task made more difficult by the Decepticons now after the insect
