TFtember: Day of the Machines

"Day of the Machines" the Transformers, October 10, 1985


Megatron and Soundwave manage to infiltrate a computer lab. Inside, Megatron manages to imprint his personality on the computer TORQ III. That can't be good. 


And it isn't, as TORQ III takes over the lab. With Megatron calling the shots, he quickly takes over a fleet of oil tankers, which gets the Autobots on the case.

Skyfire, Hound, and Spike check out the fleet while the rest of the Autobots check out the lab. Spike gets captured pretty early. The Autobots are attacked at the lab, but the Dinobots clear the way. Optimus gets slapped with a mind control card, but he no sells it and takes down TORQ III with one punch. 


Spike, meanwhile, gets the idea to escape by using a nearby electromagnet to disable the cell and take down Rumble and Ravage. Why was that is the cell? Who knows. 

Can the Autobots manage to stop Megatron in time?

Ok; Optimus does most of the heavy work and this would be the last time Skyfire would be a major player, although he does make a small cameo in the 3rd season.
