Goshooter, Shūta, Shouki, and Daniel find themselves against what might be the greatest threat to face Cybertron.

Synopsis

The team of Goshooter and Shūta Gō go right into the fire of battle, dispatching the evil Smokescreen with their "Side Kick Burst" attack. But the two don't have time to catch their breath as The Fallen strikes with his energy spikes, impaling Goshooter in the leg! Laughing at how the assembled Autobots are powerless against his might, The Fallen prepares to assimilate Vector Sigma with his tendrils. Shūta and Daniel Witwicky try to stop the mad demigod from taking the Transformers' creator, but get caught up in The Fallen's tendrils. Alpha Trion and Goshooter can only watch on as Shouki's mind escapes into a flashback of Raiden and the other Trainbots falling in battle. Regretting how useless he was in protecting his friends, he breaks free from his restraints and is calmed down by Goshooter, who makes him realize the importance of trust in one's partners.

In response to Shūta's query, The Fallen explains that he seeks to absorb Vector Sigma and become the next Primus and that he also plans to absorb information on organic life from Shūta. Daniel attempts to save his comrade, but The Fallen is unfazed and banishes Daniel to the space between dimensions. The villain soon finds himself under attack from a mightier foe: Metroplex! And he's brought all of the train Transformers! Shouki is reunited with his Trainbot teammates and Daniel ends up for the better, having been saved by the presumably lost Overdrive. The Omnibot explains that he was able to use the human as a homing signal to escape.

Using Daniel's crossbow mode, Shouki is able to cut Shūta's restraints, allowing Goshooter to speed in and save his partner. With his soccer skills, Goshooter kicks Vector Sigma right into The Fallen's face, and the demigod is soon restrained by the "Trainbot Omni-Car Joint". With Vector Sigma safely in his possession, Alpha Trion uses his function as the key to the supercomputer to give Shouki a new mode: the train bazooka "Raiden"! Aimed by Goshooter and with Metroplex's energies, the bazooka blasts The Fallen, ending his threat. In the aftermath, the Omnibots promise to bring everybody to their right place and time, and Daniel reminds Shouki of the importance of trusting his partners.

Notes

Continuity notes

• Daniel remarks on being a "cold sleeper", accounting for his relatively youthful looks in this story and a reference to the explanation provided by Kiss Players that Daniel was put into cryogenic sleep between the events of The Movie, and Transformers 2010, which take place five years apart in Japanese continuity and yet both feature Daniel at apparently the same age.

Other notes

• Shūta will not shut up about soccer.
