"Heavy Metal War" the Transformers, Dec. 15, 1984
And thus we end the first season of the cartoon. How are we going to end it?
A bunch of green construction vehicles attack a work site and make off with some components. They return to Megatron and we learn they are the newest Decepticon recruits-the Constructicons! And what do they intend to do with the stuff they stole?
That would be telling.
Megatron then arrives at the Ark and issues a challenge to Optimus Prime. One on one, winner take all, with the loser being banished forever to deep space. Prime agrees.
Megatron, being the bad guy, is already planning to cheat. How? Remember the stuff that the Constructicons stole? Yeah, with that they build a machine that gives Megatron access to all the Decepticons' powers.
The fight goes poorly for Prime, but a deal is a deal, so the Autobots are preparing to leave Earth. The Constructions, meanwhile, have been tunneling to the Autobot's computer. Why? Because the Decepticons know the computer would prove they cheated.
Pity their tunneling wakes up the Dinobts. Pity for the Dinobots that the Constructicons can combine into Devastator, a giant robot.
Can the Autobots save the Dinobots?
Pretty good, and even could serve as a series finale had things gone that way. We met the Constructicons and get origin#1 (built by Decepticons) of three. Good introduction and great way to establish them as a threat.
