- A Prime Problem
- The Decepticons discover a fissure with colonium crystals, these crystals contain large
amounts of energy, but they are too unstable to handle. Megatron decides to lure the
Autobots in the crevice. When the Autobots arrive the Decepticons attack, Optimus Prime is
seperated from the rest and Laserbeak knocks him unconscious. Laserbeaks scans Optimus
Prime and Megatron uses these scans to make an exact duplicate of Optimus Prime, this copy
is controlled by Megatron. The copy heads to the Autobots and orders them back to
headquarters. Later the real Optimus Prime regains consciousness and he heads back too.
The copy tries to convince the Autobots to destroy the real Optimus Prime, but Ironhide
takes command and he orders to first find out who is the real one. The Autobots make some
tests but none of these can make a difference between the two. Teletran notices increasing
energy readings from the crevice and the Autobots head towards the crystals again,
together with the two Optimus Primes. Megatron makes a copy of Starscream and he plans to
destroy this copy of Starscream by the copy of Optimus Prime. Spike and Windcharger
overhear this plan, Laserbeak attacks them, Spike is captured and Windcharger falls into
the crevice. Meanwhile Megatron executes his plan and the Autobots are convinced that the
copy is the real Optimus Prime. The copy leads the Autobots to the crevice, but then
Windcharger appears; his rubber tires had protected him from the energy. He tells the
Autobots about Megatrons plan and the Autobots destroy the copy of Optimus Prime. Then
Optimus Prime leads the Autobots to the Decepticon base and the Autobots rescue Spike.
