==Synopsis==
[[Shortstop]]([[Anthony]]) proceeds to finish a training program [[Boaty]] wrote for him. After finishing his program Anthony heads off to pick up his human friend [[Matt E.|Matt]] to enjoy some time together.

In another part of the galaxy between two colliding cosmic cracks, the giant head of [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron/Generation_1 Unicron]] enters the Zapbot Universe. As this happens another robot of ancient origins [[Secretish]] enters the universe as well. Seeing Unicron's head he uses his power to take over a nearby cybernetic planet and provide him with a new body. 

In the distance of this planet the [[Super Changers]] note the situation and scurry back to Gearatron to warn of the attack.

Meanwhile Anthony who has become disinterested with the responsibilities of his life, decides to use a new machine he developed to change his appearance and revert him back to a simple human. Wanting the simple life he then leaves the Zapbots to live a life on Earth with his friend Matt.

During his departure, [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron/Generation_1 Unicron]] attacks [[Gearatron]] and with the help of [[Secretish]] overpowers the Zapbots forcing them to surrender. News of this reaches [[Earth]] and Anthony (who was just beat up by a senior in gym class) suddenly realizes the error of his ways.

[[Lazer-Ray]] and [[Support]] with the help of [[Click]] grab the Matrix and head to Earth to return it to Anthony in hopes of defeating Unicron and [[Secretish]]. They find him in his friend [[Matt E.|Matt]]'s backyard. The Matrix restores Anthony to his former self and then with the help of his [[Shortstop]] and [[Fortress Misslemax]] bodies, he stops [[Secretish]] from executing [[Botimus Prime]] and [[Boaty]] on [[Gearatron]].

[[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron/Generation_1 Unicron]] attempts to attack again, but [[Fortress Misslemax]] combines with [[Gearatron]] to transform it into robot mode. After a lengthly battle [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron/Generation_1 Unicron]] is destroyed and his head flung into the nearby sun for destruction. [[Secretish]] disappears from the battle scene.

With everything somewhat returned to normal Anthony drops a new flag off at Council member [[Earnon]]'s office indicating he will never leave the Zapbots again.
