Transformers: More much more than meets the eyes

Meanwhile, the Autobots have built a new city called Metroplex (sounds like a giant shopping arcade.). However, they have to get a transformation cog from Cybertron to allow the city to transform into its most powerful form... a giant robot. The Decepticons, whose leader Galvatron had returned, were not without their own giant-robot-that-turns-into-a-city in waiting. It was modeled after a Tyrannosaurus. Unlike Metroplex, this giant robot was unable to think independently and was also mega-stupid. He, however, already had a transformation cog and was going to destroy Metroplex and the Ark.

The Autobots Blur and Wheelie head for Cybertron to obtain the cog and the Decepticons try to stop them. Meanwhile, on Earth, Rodimus Prime is trying to get use to being the new leader of the Autobots. Originally a hot-head known as Hot Rod and suddenly the Autobot leader, it is a huge change for him. He also has to worry about the Decepticon forces making a comeback, after Galvatron's return, and trying to wreck havoc in the Universe again. Meanwhile, Trypticon has arrived on Earth.

The Autobots: Outback (he appeared only once so don't bother about him.)
	      Tailgate (Ditto. He's a race car though.)
	      Hub Cap (he also only appeared once but he looks like Cliffjumper
		       in vehicular form.)
	      Pipes (a mini trailer who led the small group of Autobots against 
		     Trypticon. 'As Optimus would say, transform and roll out!)
	      Swerve (reminds me of Brawn when in vehicular form. Forgettable)
	      Metroplex (the Autobot City. The last form of defense.)




The Decepticons: Trypticon (the Decepticon city and the only one introduced in
			    the mini-series.)

The battle goes on as usual. Autobots trying to stop the Decepticons from destroying the human race and taking over Earth. However, although the series was almost similar to the first two seasons, there are still some major cool points in the third season that should have appeared in the first two.

In the middle of the series, new Autobots and Decepticons, who were not combiners, were introduced. This never happened in the first two seasons. The first is Octane, a Decepticon. He is a triple-changer and can transform into a Boeing 747 and a octane container. Then comes Sandstorm, an Autobot triple-changer. The wierd thing is that he did not appear as an Autobot in the first place. He was an inhabitant of a group of Transformers who had left Cybertron and lived on another planet made of metal. Cyclonus and Scourge try to steal energy from it and befriend Sandstorm, who is capable of transforming to a helicopter and a dune-buggy. Then, the Decepticons invade the planet and Sandstorm finds out he's been betrayed. He contacts the Autobots who help and the planet is destroyed. Sandstorm then becomes an Autobot. Halfway through, Octane runs away from the Decepticons. He gets Sandstorm to help him to defect to the Autobots. It is then that Starscream's ghost (he died in the movie.) returns to seek revenge on Galvatron. He possesses Cyclonus but fails to defeat the Decepticon leader. Cyclonus is freed and Octane becomes a Decepticon again. Another triple-changer, Broadside appeared in the series, although it was briefly and very few times. He could transform into an aircraft carrier and a jet plane.

The first season three combiners appeared thanks to an anti-electron jolt that causes Grimlock to have super-intelligence. The most hilarious thing of the episode is when Grimlock switches off a booby-trap by by-passing its circuit codes. When Rodimus, Springer and Ultra Magnus see this, Springer says, "He didn't use his teeth?" Anyway, Grimlock constructs five Autobots who have the best technological advancements in the whole Cybertron. Meanwhile, the Decepticons have built the most powerful Decepticon combiner, the Terrorcons. Grimlock then gives his intelligence to his creations and the Technobots are born. They form Computron who was supersmart and defeated Abominus (the Terrorcons.) everytime with his intelligence. Grimlock was reverted to his dumb self again.

The Autobots:	The Technobots
		Afterburner (a futuristic motorbike)
		Nosecone (a drill)
		Lightspeed (a futuristic racecar)
		Strafe (a small space fighter jet)
		Scattershot (a large space fighter jet and leader of the Technobots)
		They form Computron, the smartest Autobot yet.




The Decepticons:   The Terrorcons
		   Rippersnapper (his white and looks like an overgrown 
				  lizard)
		   Blot (blue and really wierd-looking)
		   Sinnertwin (two-headed yellow-coloured creature)
		   Cutthroat (flying green and yellow monster)
		   Hun-Gurrr (BIG two-headed greyish monster and leader 
			      of the Terrorcons.)
		   They form Abominus, the strongest Decepticon combiner.

Later, while the Decepticons attack Japan, the Autobots go there to help. Rodimus feels that the leadership is too much stress for him. Two of the Stunticons, Dead End and Wildrider steal the Matrix, reverting Rodimus Prime back to Hot Rod. Scourge then uses the Matrix to lead the Decepticons to do battle with the Autobots. In the process, he becomes puffy and really ugly, like he got a bad case of acne. Springer manages to talk Hot Rod back into battling Scourge and get back the Matrix. Although Scourge has the Matrix, he is floored by one punch from Hot Rod, who takes back the Matrix and transforms back to Rodimus Prime.

Finally, the most historical event in Transformer history happened. Two scientist find Optimus Prime's body along with some hate-inducing spores. One of the scientist hates the Transformers so much that he uses Optimus Prime's body to lure the Autobots into a trap. This causes the Autobots to hate each other and duke it out. Bumblebee is badly damaged. He is then rebuilt in a different form but still retaining his old personality. He became 'Goldbug'. The spores then go onto all the Autobots, except for Sky Lynx and the reanimated Optimus Prime. The spores finally reach all Decepticons except Galvatron and humans as well. Even the Quintessons are infected. Later, the remaining Transformers find out that the spores cannot affect them if they are covered by ash, or something like that. After Sky Lynx and Galvatron are infected as well, only Optimus Prime is left to save the Earth and he does, by using the Matrix to destroy the spores with the wisdom within. The Matrix is then left empty. Optimus returns to his post as Leader of the Autobots and the third season of Transformers end.
