Transformers: Energon, known in Japan as Transformer: Superlink
(トランスフォーマー スーãƒ'ーリンク, ToransufÅ mÄ
SÅ«pÄ rinku), is the 2004â€"2005 Transformers toyline, animated
series, and comic book series, another co-production between Hasbro
and Takara and a direct sequel to Transformers: Armada. It is also the
first Japanese Transformers show where the Transformers are
computer-generated (CG), in a cel-shaded technique similar to the
Zoids anime, which was a trend that would continue into the next
series, Transformers: Cybertron. In Italy, it's airing on Fox Kids
(first 13 Episodes) and Cartoon Network. In the United States,
KidsClick started airing reruns of the show from August 27, 2018 until
November 3, 2018. Along with Transformers: Armada and Transformers:
Cybertron , Transformers: Energon is a part of a saga in the
Transformers series known as the "Unicron Trilogy" In this series, the
Transformers' primary gimmicks are the Autobots' ability to combine
with partners of the same size, the Decepticons' ability to use
powered up forms, and the addition of Energon weapons and stars that
can be placed on any Transformer. Mini-Cons, from the previous line,
are still present, but all Mini-Con pegs are "dead", and they do not
activate a function on the toy.Ten years after the war for the
Mini-Cons and the apparent destruction of Unicron, the mysterious
Alpha Q (which stands for "Quintesson"), operating out of the husk of
the planet-eater's body, releases energy-eating Terrorcons to attack
the Autobots' Cybertron Cities in the Solar system, gathering Energon
for Alpha Q's plan. As the Autobots mobilize against the new threat
alongside their human allies (including the teenager Kicker), Alpha Q
creates Scorponok to lead the Terrorcons and forges a sword from the
Spark of the Decepticon leader Megatron (whose corpse lies within
Unicron), later known as Galvatron, in order to turn the other
Decepticons on Earth to his side. Megatron engineers his own
resurrection, however, taking control of Unicron's body and forcing
Alpha Q to flee inside Unicron's head, then attacking Ocean City on
Earth. Alpha Q recreates Starscream to assassinate Optimus Prime, but
Starscream is brainwashed into Megatron's service, all along Scorponok
continues to act as Alpha Q's mole within the Decepticons. Meanwhile,
as the Autobots begin construction of Energon Towers to protect the
Earth, the legendary figure from Cybertron history known as Rodimus
makes his reappearance.With the activation of Earth's new Energon
Grid, shielding it from attack by the Decepticons, the Autobots turn
their attention to Unicron. Leaving Earth in the ship, the Miranda II,
they locate Unicron's body. Megatron mobilizes the chaos-bringer, and
pursues the Autobots through their space bridge, emerging in the
vicinity of Cybertron. The Transformers' homeworld riddled with
Energon towers, fired, leaving Unicron badly damaged. The Autobots
form an alliance with Alpha Q, who is already working with Rodimus and
his crew, and learn his origin and his motives for stealing Energon:
he seeks to use it to recreate that which Unicron has destroyed.
Meanwhile, Megatron's forces attack Cybertron, and the Decepticon
criminal Shockblast is inducted into their ranks. In the course of
Shockblast's escape from prison, guard Wing Dagger swears revenge for
the death of his partner, Padlock, and when an Energon tower collapses
on him and Tidal Wave, Megatron reconstructs his minion as Mirage,
while Primus recreates Wing Dagger as the mighty Wing Saber, who joins
the battle alongside Optimus Prime within Unicron. As the battle
rages, Kicker arranges to channel all of Earth's Energon into
Unicron's head, which Alpha Q then rams into Unicron's body. The
resultant reaction with the negatively charged Energon within the body
causes a fissure in reality, through which all the combatants are
sucked.In the new region of space on the other side of the fissure,
Alpha Q has successfully recreated all the worlds destroyed by
Unicron, sustaining them from within Unicron's head, which has now
become an Energon sun. The Autobots set about establishing Energon
Towers on the new planets to protect them, while Megatron sees the new
worlds as a source of more Energon to reactivate Unicron. Having
brainwashed Scorponok to become fully loyal to him, Megatron attempts
to do the same to Inferno, but he fights the process. A rescue team
consisting of Cliffjumper, Downshift, and Bulkhead is dispatched from
Cybertron and Earth and teams up with the Autobots to protect the new
worlds, but Inferno is then destroyed when he falls into the Energon
sun, defeating the Decepticon influence of Megatron. Thankfully, his
Spark is saved and he is reborn as Roadblock, just as the ancient
Autobot, Omega Supreme, is awakened on Cybertron and joins the
Autobots. Megatron succeeds in animating Unicron, who reclaims his
head, killing Alpha Q in the process, but then Shockblast attempts to
seize control of Unicron, only to have his own mind taken over by the
"demi-god", ultimately destroying him. Megatron then resumes control,
but falls prey to Unicron's influence as well, as the two minds battle
for control as they struggle with Optimus Supreme, the combined form
of Optimus Prime and Omega Supreme. Optimus Supreme is enlarged to
giant size with a power boost from Primus which also energises several
of the other Autobots. In a veritable battle of the titans, Optimus
Supreme destroys Unicron, but his mind lives on within Megatron.
