1x02-The Transmitter

# The Transmitter

## SYNOPSIS

Rodimus wakes up from his room of the Peaceful Tyranny and goes outside to see Black Shadow looking over Tarn and Overlord training. While the battle is initially won by Tarn, Overlord tackles him from behind, causing the two to argue while Black Shadow and Rodimus try to interfere, until Sixshot comes out of the water in his gun mode and lands in front of them. The Six Changer reports the situation of the ship to Tarn which asks about the transmitter of it and Sixshot answer that it went missing in the crash landing so Tarn suggest Black Shadow and Overlord to find it, much to the Overlord's protests, thinking that Tarn just doesn't want him around, causing the two to start arguing while Sixshot and Black Shadow just bet who will stop first. While the two argue, Rodimus suggest that Tarn could go with Overlord so he knows that he won't cause trouble, which strangely makes sense for Tarn, who decides that Rodimus can go with them since the idea was his. He also orders Sixshot and Black Shadow to start repairing the ship. While they try to go, Sixshot calls out Overlord to not get the tracker he had which makes Sixshot pull him aside, threatening him if he tries to hurt Rodimus or Tarn, which Overlord just shrugs off while picking the tracker from the Six Changer.

The two Phase Sixers and the sparkling advance into the forest while Rodimus continues asking if they are there yet, much to Tarn and Overlord's annoyance. The three continue to follow the signal with Overlord constantly asking rhetorical questions to Tarn to annoying him. Rodimus is confused why the two always seem to hate each other and asks them why. While Tarn gives an actual response that their opinions of Megatron is different and so their personality, Overlord just says that's because Tarn's jealous of him. The argument goes on until they reach the source of the transmitter'signal, inside a cave. The group prepares themselves before going in.

While the trio enters the cave, they notice that the cave is full of scraps and metal parts and Tarn encourages Rodimus to try and find the transmitter while the other two help him. Inspecting the parts, Tarn notices that some parts were part of the Peaceful Tyranny, but some were from other vessels which makes him thinks that other people instead of Chromedome and Rewind were there with them on the planet. Suddenly they hear noise coming from the entrance of the cave and a swarm of Pteraxadon arrive in the cave. The Pteraxadon began screeching and moving all around, although not creating any damage, until one eats Rodimus. Inside the stomach of the creature, Rodimus gets moved around, until something gets stuck on his back. In the cave, Tarn decide to put aside their differences to help Rodimus. While Overlord initially disagree, Tarn reminds him that he won't get his re-match with Megatron if Rodimus dies. Overlord begins to shoot at every Pteraxadon that comes near him, while Tarn tries to find the one that ate Rodimus which he indetefies since it is the only one that isn't flying. Tarn says it to Overlord who takes the creature and keeps it mouth open. Tarn tries to reach inside the creature and finally pulls Rodimus out of it. Overlord and Tarn transform, with Rodimus sitting in the Megajet, and leave the cave, but not before shooting the ceiling in their tank mode, which causes the creature to flee and them to escape.

The three return to the beach to find the other half of the Peaceful Tyranny on the shore. While transforming, Tarn asks Sixshot how they could have done that, with Sixshot responding that Black Shadow decided to eat near the engines and caused a reaction that moved the ship. While Overlord transforms and Rodimus gets out of the Megajet, He notices something on the sparkling's back. When he takes it out, he finds out that it is the transmitter that they were looking for, which meant that the day wasn't wasted for most of it. While everyone is seeing the bad side of the day, Black Shadow gives the good news that now he gets to sleep into a real berth which everyone ignores.
