96. Rebirth Part 1 (11/9/87)
Just as Optimus Prime predicted, every Decepticon in the universe has united to launch a devastating attack on Autobot City. Their objective: to steal the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber, the foundry in which the original Autobots were forged. They succeed in stealing the chamber, but in the process of opening it, twelve Autobots (led by Hot Rod) along with Spike and Daniel are propelled and become stranded on Nebulos; with a band of ten Decepticons (led by Cyclonus) close behind. During a fight, the Decepticon team captures several Autobots. The Autobots soon discover that the Nebulons have been enslaved by mentally controlled machines that work for “The Hive,” led by Zarak, and are desperate to break free. A daring plan is hatched to place Nebulons inside the Autobot bodies, transforming them into “Headmasters”, Transformers with greatly enhanced fighting capabilities.

The Autobots make their way to rescue their comrades, however, the Decepticons have struck a sinister deal with the merciless Hive.

Zarak then turns the Hive’s entire city into a new Decepticon superbot, Scorponok, the most powerful ever created!

As the Autobots on Cybertron are defeated, a flying city arrives on Cybertron. Spike becomes Cerebros head, and in turn, Cerebros becomes the head to the city, Fortress Maximus, who defeats Scorponok.
