Stonhenge is a Time Machine. Didn't you know?

We start with aW FUCK YEAH THAT INTRO! GRIMLOCK! ASTROTRAIN! OMEGA SUPREME! BLITZWING! INSECTICONS! ALL OF THE BABIES!

Sorry. That won't happen again.

So, the theme ends and we cut to Starscream, Ramjet, Ravage, and Rumble are locked into battle with Warpath. Yeah, just Warpath, no one else. It's also unclear why their fighting right now. Energon maybe, I don't know.

Warpath rams into Ramjet and the four Decepticons tumble down a hill and into Stonehenge. Rumble discovers "energy" coming from a cave of some sort and Ravage decides to check it out. The other three are promptly chased and trapped inside by Warpath.

Inside this cave, there' some kind of obelisk with a row of symbols on it. Rumble tries to fiddle with it and Starscream shoves him out of the way, claiming that it might be dangerous and he needs the "energy" more than Rumble does.

Screamer messes with the obelisk while Hoist and Warpath are on the outside of the cave trying to dig the Decepticons out. They could probably just leave them there to rot, but I guess Warpath is too smart for that. Also, where did Hoist come from?

Back on the inside, Rumble tries to get whatever energy Starscream is promising and they end up activating all of the symbols. Light flashes for a few seconds and Ramjet points out that the cave mouth isn't blocked anymore and Hoist and Warpath are gone. They head out of the cave while someone spies on them from the bushes.

A young human woman watches them go and says: "Giant armored knights? From the Dragon Mound?"

I think the normal response would be the King's English version of "What the actual fuck?" and running away. But, this is a magical realm I guess, so this is probably pretty normal.

The Decepticons continue up a hill when two knights on horses charge Rumble. The Decepticons mistake them for Autobots because of their armor, and the knights mistake Rumble for a spy for the Red Knight. (For those who don't know, Rumble is blue.)

Ramjet and Starscream appear and a knight exclaims, in the most underwhelmed tone you could have in this situation: "Egad, giants."

Starscream pushes the knight and his horse over and Ramjet headbutts the other. Starscream learns that these knights are humans and the knights ask them who they are. The Decepticons introduce themselves and they all continue to comment on how inadequate the knights' armor is.

The knights don't even have much of a reaction. They just kind of speak to them like this is completely normal. They tell the bots what year it is and Starscream deducts that the weird obelisk must have been a time machine.

Yep, because we knew jack about Stonehenge in the 80's, we can just throw stuff into its workings with no rhyme or reason. Time Machine is a new one, I gotta admit.

And with that, I need to go to bed. Until tomorrow!
