- The Insecticon Syndrome
- The Autobots and the Insecticons engage in battle in a forest where the Insecticons are
eating the trees. After beating the Autobots, the Insecticons along with the Decepticons
go to a base containing a power source which the Insecticons feed on which turns them into
big bugs, also making them very unstable. In the process, they kidnap Soundwave and turn
him into their slave (thanks to one of Bombshell's cerebro shells) and badly damage
Wheeljack and Ironhide, which forces the Autobots to retreat. Soon Megatron and Starscream
realize that Soundwave and all the other Decepticons are under Insecticon control.
Bombshell launches two cerebro shells, one hits Starscream and he becomes controlled, but
Megatron crushes the other one before it hits him. Prime warns Megatron that any blast
that hits one of the Insecticons could destroy them all. The Autobots create three
antidotes to prevent this from happening. Megatron is forced to work with the Autobots and
transforms to fire the antidotes. Bombshell and Kickback are saved and return to normal
size, but Shrapnel explodes before the antidote put in him by Spike can work. The
Decepticons are freed from Insecticon control and Bombshell reassembles Shrapnel. The
Insecticons retreat with the Decepticons chasing them.
