Thanks to the energy of Earth, the Entity now has the power to transform to robot mode and break the orbit it has been trapped in for generations. The "tree trunks" and "grass" on the planet's surface are but hairs on the back of its colossal hands! (20/25)
Hot Rod notices that the Sharkticons use primitive sensors to differentiate between enemies and other Sharkticons, and comes up with a plan to blind those sensors using grease and lubricant from his and Tanker's bodies. (8/25)
In the chaos, Daniel and Ellen are forced to board the ship with Rusty, Magnus, Springer, Blurr, and Mentlar as it blasts off. Hot Rod, Tanker, and the Dinobots fly alongside it. Wheeljack, Arcee, Blaze and other 'bots continue the fight on Earth. (15/21)

Unfortunately, the field's effectiveness is already wearing off (ie: this will never be mentioned again), so Mentlar and the Dinobots, along with their high-speed advance scout, Blurr - a "slow-talking Jimmy Stewart sort" - agree to join the mission into space. (13/21)
These 'Cons are described as a "sweep party" - that is, a party that conducts sweeps of an area. Future drafts will turn this descriptor into a proper name, as the characters are developed into Scourge and his Sweeps! (5/21)

The Entity offers Megatron a new body, and new power, if he will serve him. Megatron accepts - and Galvatron is born! He sports a new isignia, and his body is also wreathed in the scales that cover Unicron. (17/22)
