Series Synopsis:
New wonders and new threats have been unlocked on CYBERWORLD. Energon Surge is taking over, but will it be a source of danger or immense power to those who learn to harness it? As fresh troubles rise, old alliances fracture. Bumblebee, once cheerful and loyal, finds himself sinking into the depths of his angst – still reeling from revelations that have changed his whole worldview – his inner turmoil amplified by the wild physical changes he is experiencing. Elsewhere, with his leadership in question, Optimus Prime must reunite his team to uncover the truth behind this strange world, before CYBERWORLD tears them apart for good.
