The second episode centers on Victorion, a Combiner born from the magic of the ‘Enigma of Combination’, who describes her anger with this new state of affairs and proclaims her intention to save the Transformers galaxy from the chaos created in the aftermath of disbanding the Autobots and Decepticons.
The third episode follows Starscream, who is no longer the villain we once knew him as.

The burden of responsibility is heavy on the three due to the destruction and loss of life from the ongoing Combiner Wars. The final episode follows Windblade, once an official ‘City Speaker’ to the gigantic ‘Titans,’ who is tired of the bureaucratic non-action of the Council, who seem to sit idly while her people and her cities on Caminus perish. She decides that the only way to end the Combiner Wars is to take matters into her own vengeful hands.
