Megatron's Master Plan Part 2

Plot Summary:

Following the expulsion of the Autobots from Earth, Megatron re-programs their ship to a course that will steer them into the sun, then begins to enact his plan to take over the Earth, beginning with the city that sentenced his enemies. The human population is forced to work in Decepticon power plants, producing energon cubes. All attempts by the human military to lift Decepticon rule fail. During an aborted revolt attempt, Chip Chase manages to escape the plant and secrets himself in the trailer of an outbound semi. He manages to gain access to the Ark, and tries to override Megatron's course settings, only to be recaptured by Thrust before he can succeed in doing more than breaking Teletran's control over Cosmos, who was towing the Autobot ship. Chip sees the Autobot ship destroyed in the sun on one of Teletran-1's monitors, and breaks the news to the other humans at the power plant. They believe hope is lost. However, the Autobots abandoned the ship before its destruction, and Trailbreaker protected them with a force field which Cosmos towed back to Earth, and they are able to successfully free the city from Decepticon control. Spike is finally able to prove their innocence, the sentence is overturned, and Berger is arrested.

Best Dialogue:

Prime: (as the ship heads into the sun) "Cosmos, take action!"
Cosmos: "Like what?"
Prime: "If I knew, I'd do it myself!"

Megatron: "Is anyone brave—or stupid enough—to oppose us?"

Soundwave: "Increase efficiency or be terminated."

Watch For...

The Decepticon blimp in the background during the parade.

There appears to be a diner named Stan's close enough to the Ark for Chip to get to the ship by wheelchair.

Comments:

This is the second time that, due to a Decepticon laser blast, the Autobots get a new lease on life. (Starscream shooting at the mountain in "More Than Meets the Eye" knocked Prime into the repair beam.)
