Rebirth, part 1
The Decepticons attack the Autobots in Autobot City. The large attack is a diversion so Pounds and Wingspan can steal the key to the plasma energy chamber on Cybertron.Punch tries to stop them but doesn't succeed and is damaged. Meanwhile on cybertron Hot Rod with Daniel helping him races against Blurr. Hot Rod wins because of Daniels help. Brainstorm says that a human could be a huge help to a Transformer. Then Optimus Prime contacts them that all the decepticons are underway to assault Cybertron and that they have to prevent the Decepticons from entering the plasma energy chamber. A group of Autobots see Scourge going below the surface they decide to follow him in a shuttle. When they arive at the plasma energy chamber Scourge already has activated the chamber. Scourge is hit by the energy and is overloaded. Cerebros and Spike get the key from the chamber and then the shuttle is hit by an energy bolt. Cerebros and Spike jump onboard and then the Shuttle is launched into space by the energy. When Galvatron and the rest of the decepticons arrive at the chamber they find Scourge. After he's revived he tells Galvatron what happened. Galvotron orders Scourge to follow the Autobots in their shuttle and retrieve the key. The Autobots in their shuttle crashland on a planet and are taken prisoner by a group of Rebel Nebulons. The Nebulons fight "The Hive" a group of Nebulons who posses advanced machinery with which they control the Planet. The Nebulons think the Autobots are part of the Hive and want to destroy them. Then the Decepticons arrive and after some convincing by Spike the Nebulons decide to let the Autobots go so they can fight the Decepticons. During this fight Daniel is badly hurt and Blurr, Hot Rod, Kup, Crosshairs and Sureshot are taken prisoner by the Decepticons. Daniel is attached to a life support machine and has to stay there until they find something more mobile. Then Brainstorm comes with the idea of placing Nebulons and Humans in the heads of Transformers so they can better cooperate. With this Daniel should be able to walk around again too and Arcee asks Spike if she can get Daniel and he agrees. The remaining Autobots are modified so the Nebulons and Humans can merge with the Autobots, except for Cerebros who is sick and tired of fighting and he leaves. And so the first Headmasters are formed.
