Dream Valley is full of activity as the Little Ponies train for the Pony Olympics. What the ponies don't know is that three Raptorians are flying overhead in search of magical material to repair Princess Porcina's cloak. The Raptorians think their search is over when they discover that the ponies are magical creatures. Meanwhile, Shady confides in Molly that she feels like everyone can do something special except her.

Starscream, in Scourge's body, attempts to complete three assignments for the damaged Unicron in exchange for getting a new body.

Being the leader takes it toll on Rodimus and his attempt to relax gets him into a fight, in which he loses the Matrix. The Stunticons escape with it and Rodimus reverts to Hod Rod. At first, Hod Rod is perfectly fine with no longer being in charge, but he soon understands he must get the Matrix back. It will not be easy, though, as Scourge has already seized the power of the Matrix.

Failing to topple Megatron, an exiled Starscream plans his revenge. He uses World War II era machines and five personality components to create the Combaticons, which prove very powerful in their Bruticus form.

With the others rendered powerless, Smokescreen has to enter the gambling world to get the Energon needed to revive them.

The Quintessons use Wreck-Gar, Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus and Marissa as research subjects, watching how they interact. Unfortunately for all of them, the ship they are on is heading for a black hole and this unusual group will have to work together to survive.
