Synopsis: Brothers In Armour!!
With most of their opposition incapacitated, the Decepticons continue their conquest of Nebulos. Lord Zarak leads an assault on the Mercury Gardens of Melanossus, killing off a number of Autobot defenders and driving off the surviving Monsterbots. Confronted by a news crew, Zarak vehemently defends his "defense" of Nebulos, but, standing amid the smoking ruins of the Gardens, he has a moment of hesitation when asked if he considers the battle a victory for the planet.
The Monsterbots return the Autobot encampment, and report on the lost battle. The Autobots, under constant harassment from the Decepticons, have been forced to retreat into a dismal swamp, where they have been joined by several Nebulan dissidents. Hot Rod, meanwhile, reports that he's received a distress call from Autobots on some planet called Earth. When word arrives that the Decepticons are planning a takeover of The Nursery, Pointblank leads a contingent of Autobots to defend it—the same group that surrendered their weapons to the Nebulans—along with their newly bio-engineered Nebulan allies.
Held captive alongside his fellow Autobot Headmaster partners, Galen finds himself awoken from stasis by Llyra, who is both fascinated and revolted by the changes wrought in the man she loves. Zarak arrives as Llyra leaves, and taunts Galen with his victories and new power. Galen asserts that Zarak is becoming blinded by battlelust, which Zarak denies... just before running off to assault the Autobots at the Nursery.
The Autobots arrive at the Nursery, and are introduced to the facility's role in developing food and plants for the planet's population. Just then, Scorponok and the Terrorcons burst out of the trees and attack the seemingly weaponless Autobots. The Autobots have a new trick up their sleeves, though; the six Nebulans transform into their new weapons, and the Targetmasters unleash a devastating attack on the Decepticons. The battle is a fair match, but the Nursery is being destroyed, so Pointblank orders a retreat. Zarak rails at his retreating enemies, vowing that he will destroy them and thus save Nebulos...just like he "saved" the now-ruined Nursery. Suddenly it all becomes clear...
Back at Koraja, Vorath has duplicated the Targetmaster process, creating a group of five Decepticon Targetmasters. Zarak doesn't really care; he storms straight to Galen, awakens him again, and tries to explain: Scorponok is changing him, rewriting his mind, making him do things. Zarak says he'll see Galen on the next world—Earth—and sets him and his allies free. The five Autobot Headmasters waste no time in rejoining their bodies and bashing their way to freedom. After a skirmish with the Decepticon Targetmasters, they flee.
Rejoining his allies in the swamp base, Galen explains that Zarak knew that if the Autobots leave Nebulos, the Decepticons will follow, and his world might yet be saved. The Autobots agree to this idea, and prepare to abandon the planet, heading for Earth to answer the distress call. Llyra arrives just then; having witnessed her father in the most recent battle, she has come to doubt all that he has told her about Galen and his supposed war-like nature, and seeks reconciliation. Knowing he cannot leave Nebulos while she still loves him, Galen blows her off, and she leaves in tears. The Autobots depart and the Decepticons soon follow, leaving a war-torn Nebulos to rebuild once the Transformers have left.
