45

Despite winning his fight, Scourge hesitates due to Leobreaker's words. The backup team locates Leobreaker and Snarl, while Teams 1 and 4 proceed down their final levels with Bud leading the Mini-cons. Upon exiting, they discover Mini-con pictographs. Lori accidentally triggers a wall tile, causing Bud and the Mini-cons to fall into a shaft. Metroplex clarifies the tunnel is for Mini-cons. Elsewhere, the Cybertron Defense Team confronts Galvatron and Menasor. Bud and the Mini-cons land in Microcity, an ancient abandoned city. Jolt explains that after the war with Planet X, some Transformers remodeled themselves into smaller forms with human-like brains. The group finds the city trashed and encounters Scourge, whom Bud attempts to teach leadership. The Autobots arrive, and Scourge challenges them. Metroplex and Vector Prime defeat Scourge, who is sliced by Sonic Wing Mode Optimus and begs to be left alone. Meanwhile, the Cybertron Defense Team defeats Menasor but is beaten by Galvatron.
