Go To

Mandroid reveals the existence of the Terrans to Croft, before using the space bridge to depart to places unknown. Meanwhile, the Maltos have to battle a mind controlled Shockwave in the middle of Witwicky.


Tropes:

  • Brainwashed and Crazy:
    • Shockwave spends the first half of the episode in a mind-controlled frenzy until the Maltos manage to knock him out and pry off his control badge.
    • Croft uses Mandroid's device to take control over the Autobots and Megatron through their G.H.O.S.T. badges.
  • Cliffhanger: Croft uses Meridian's device to take control of the Autobots and Megatron and revive the already downed Ghoids. Shortly after a wormhole opens in the sky above the Malto farm and Mandroid emerges, now in a completely mechanical body.
  • Enemy Mine: Shockwave teams up with the Maltos and the Autobots against G.H.O.S.T., partly to get back at Croft for betraying him.
  • Eviler than Thou: Croft attempts to use Meridian's own control device against him but finds herself easily overpowered and at his mercy. Mandroid seemingly only doesn't kill her out of sheer amusement at her helplessness.
  • Get Out!: Dot's response to Croft's attempt to strongarm her into giving up the Terrans to G.H.O.S.T.
    Croft: So here's my offer. Either your bots wear these [badges] and join G.H.O.S.T., or you'll never see your family again.
  • Hope Spot: Just as it looks like the Malto-Autobot alliance has won against Croft and her Ghoids, Croft pulls out the device Meridian gave her at the start of the episode and activates it, bringing every being wearing a G.H.O.S.T. badge under her complete control, inculding all the Autobots and Megatron.
  • Internal Reveal: Croft gets told by Mandroid that the Terrans are part of the Malto family.
  • Mama Bear: Dot once again demonstrates why it's a very bad idea to threaten her family. When Croft attempts to give her An Offer You Can't Refuse under threat of never seeing her children again, Dot at first merely tells Karen to Get Out!. Then gives her a very well-deserved ass-kicking in their ensuing fight.
  • Wham Line: At first the mysterious being that descends from the wormhole in the sky seems to be an entirely new character. Then he starts speaking.
    Meridian: Ah, home sweet home.
