Kiss Players episode 51

Reunited, the Kiss Players find themselves embroiled in a clash of gods.

Synopsis

Marissa Faireborn, having been abducted by a mysterious golden hand, is brought back together with Shaoshao Li and Atari Hitotonari. The golden robot that abducted the Kiss Players reveals himself to be none other than Primus, the god of the Transformers, also known as Oracle and Vector Sigma! The reveal of this identity sends the Sparkbots fleeing to the past, where Primus gives chase in his Golden Ark mode with the girls in tow.

The girls find out that they weren't actually collecting Allspark fragments, but Unicron's life force, later called Angolmois Energy! Encountering the Sparkbots in Earth's crust in the past, it is further revealed that the Sparkbots are not followers of Primus, but acolytes of Unicron, having redirected Galvatron's path to Earth instead of Thrull in 2005 so that they could harvest Unicron cells incubated by human bodies. The Sparkbots attempt to release the Angolmois Energy to revive Unicron, but Primus uses his large cannon to seal the Angolmois Energy and the Sparkbots within the Earth. To safeguard this energy, Primus leaves a large base that turns out to be Brave Maximus himself. Shaoshao asks the golden god what the future will be like, but the silent Primus simply becomes a golden sphere and falls asleep.

The Kiss Players are moved towards to their proper time in 2007, at the site of the concert they began their journey. Watching the sun rise, the girls think of their futures, which went unrevealed by Primus. Deciding that the future isn't decided by gods, but by themselves, step by step, the three resolve their own desired paths. Marissa wants to join the Earth Defense Command and continue her efforts towards a positive relationship between Transformers and humanity, so that Optimus Prime can return to life in a time of good relations. Shaoshao decides to get along with Marissa better, learning to suppress her jealousy towards her and Optimus's relationship in preparation for the Autobot's revival. Atari isn't quite sure what she wants to do with her life, but is content to just take life day by day towards the future.
