Synopsis "The Bridge To Nowhere!"
A young couple is out for a drive through the Columbia River Gorge, when they discover a huge bridge. They further find that the bridge only goes half-way across, and has strange giant metal creatures that appear and promptly explode. They flee just as the bridge itself vanishes into thin air.
On Cybertron, Straxus is furious: the space bridge is returning from Earth, unprompted. He's somewhat less concerned about the fact that one of his own troopers just blew up. Before too many more troops can be sacrificed, Shrapnel contacts Spanner, a kidnapped neutral scientist who designed the bridge, and identifies the fatal flaw. A watching Blaster, sent to hunt for Spanner, notes the info with interest. The space bridge is shut down pending repairs.
At a coal mine on Earth, Donny Finkleberg is still making broadcasts in his "Robot-Master" role, trying to convince humans that the Autobots are hostile. He complains about his working conditions, as all Ravage brings him for food is a snack machine full of candy. Megatron is barely tolerant of this. Shockwave arrives just then; He and Megatron argue about who leads the Decepticons until they receive a message from Straxus, declaring that he is about to open the space bridge. Given this development, the two leaders agree to a truce. Finkleberg decides he needs to find a way to warn the Autobots.
Unable to spare further time hunting for Spanner, the Autobots led by Perceptor mount a full-scale assault on Darkmount as a diversion. With the Decepticons occupied, Blaster attempts to sabotage the bridge, but hesitates to detonate the explosives when he discovers that Spanner has actually been reconfigured into the space bridge itself, even as Spanner pleads with him to destroy his mutilated form. The Decepticons discover Blaster and attack, preventing him from carrying out the mission.
Straxus orders the bridge to be activated, and the two sides battle between Earth and Cybertron. Blaster uses his earlier knowledge of the bridge's systems to destabilize it, and boots Straxus over the edge, destroying him. Blaster and his Autobot teammates flee to the other side of the space bridge to arrive on Earth, but the unstable bridge disappears behind them, and they are trapped on a strange new world.
