Ep. 36: The children escape Sideways using a distraction and trap in the engine room.

Jolt helps the kids and Mini-cons flee Sideways, but he blocks their path with a warp shield. Coby distracts the villain by shouting about Megatron and Optimus Prime, then blinds him with a fire extinguisher. Inside the engine room, they discover Sideways has rebuilt Atlantis and set a trap. An explosion sends Sideways into machinery, disabling the electromagnetic shield so the children can contact the Autobots. Vector Prime, Red Alert, and Scattershot arrive, followed by Ransack, Crumplezone, Nemesis Breaker, and Megatron. Meanwhile, Mudflap wanders Earth, Lugnutz questions Starscream's whereabouts, and Thunderblast fails to secure the Omega Lock on Primus. Starscream returns to warp the ship. The children escape in pods, but Bud, Jolt, and Reverb remain trapped in the warp field after colliding with Sideways. Atlantis warps away, taking those inside its field with it, leaving Coby determined to find the missing group.
