Join us this week for the final episode of Transformers Animated season 1, Megatron Rising, Part 2!

With his body found and freedom nearly at hand, Megatron starts rallying his Decepticons! Can the Autobots keep them from getting Sari’s key? What crawled up Optimus’s tailpipe?

When Optimus notices an unusual energy reading from the Michigan wilderness, he sends Prowl, Bumblebee, and Sari on a camping trip to investigate. But what they find is a space monster! Can they survive both the monster and the camping? Just what lurks under the monster’s slimy exterior? And why did they think it was a good idea to let a little kid go camping in the middle of winter? Join us this week for Nature Calls!

When Sumdac Systems employee (and obnoxious gamer dood) Henry Masterson is fired after his Headmaster demonstration sends a missile heading straight for downtown Detroit, he vows to have his revenge (as you do). But when that revenge involves stealing Bulkhead’s body, he’s got to deal with not just Sumdac and the police but the Autobots as well! Can they stop him before he blows up the city? Does the obnoxious gamer dood archetype hold up post-Gamergate? And just how weird is Bulkhead’s disembodied head? Join us this week for “Headmaster”!

Meltdown needs a new test subject, and he’s got his sights set on Sari — AND he’s using the Dinobots to kidnap her! Can Bulkhead and Prowl save her without letting the others know about Dinobot Island? Or will she manage to save herself? And just where did Fanzone get that amazing retro cell phone? Join us this week for Survival of the Fittest!

Lugnut and Blitzwing arrive on Earth looking for their lost commander, but after Megatron contacts Lugnut and orders him to retrieve the Allspark, can the Autobots keep it out of their clutches? Will Blitzwing even believe him? And how does Sari even get away with being so badly behaved? Join us this week for Lost and Found!

Megatron schemes to harness the power of Sari’s key by giving her a new toy to upgrade. Will her new Soundwave toy evolve enough to become Megatron’s new body? Or will it become something else entirely? And how cute is a Derrick Wyatt-designed robot uprising, come on? Join us this week for Sound And Fury!

This week it’s Optimus’s turn for traumatic flashbacks as Sari’s Halloween decorations remind him of a lost friend and a run-in with giant alien spiders. But when that friend returns, she’s not what he expected! Will she be able to manipulate her way to Sari’s key? How does she stack up to her Beast Wars incarnation? And just how cool is it to get a Transformers Halloween episode? Join us this week for Along Came a Spider!

Without a body of his own, Megatron resorts to recruiting a small-time crook to steal the Destronium he needs with the help of a discarded super-speed supersuit from Sumdac. Can Bumblebee’s own ill-advised speed upgrades give him the boost he needs to stop him? And does anybody actually use the word “nanosec” in conversation? Join us this week as we catch up with Nanosec!

A Cybertronian bounty hunter arrives on Earth looking for the Autobots who took down Megatron — and he’s an all-too-familiar face from Ratchet’s past! Can the grouchy old medic overcome his fear to save the others? What familiar voices show up this time around? And is it really body horror when it’s robots? Join us this week for The Thrill of the Hunt!
