Today's final episode takes cues from my fanfic story Xenophobia and Transformers The Movie.
A few years later, the ragtag group of ships are heading towards Cybertron--or hope they are. While Jetfire is a great scientist and Hippolyta is a great diplomat and leader, their daughter really has no interest in any of that. She wants to be a great warrior, but there's not much to fight and so she's restless. (Basically Nighthawk is like a teenager.) They haven't actually told her she's their sorta-daughter; they just said they found her spark inside the planet and made a body for it.
Then they come across a Cybertronian ship that's crashed on a moon or something. They investigate to find some of Jetfire's companions like Wheeljack, Hoist, Grapple, Perceptor, Beachcomber, and Skids. There are also some Decepticons like Bludgeon, Bugly, Skullgrin, and Iguanus. (Because the Pretenders need some love.) Though Jetfire is reluctant to reactivate the Decepticons, he does so. The Decepticons had intercepted the Autobot ship and boarded it and both crashed on the moon.
The good thing is the crashed ship navigation data can help them find their way back to Cybertron. It should only take a couple of months. So long as the Decepticons don't start any shit, they can come along. Bludgeon promises they'll be good. [wink]
While Jetfire is glad to see some of his old buddies, Nighthawk starts spending a lot of time with Bludgeon. His whole samurai warrior code thing is really cool to her. She finally decides she's going to be a Decepticon!
They finally close in on Cybertron only to find that it's under attack by Unicron! (There's this whole thing that Cybertrax, the planet in the previous entry, is the father of Unicron and Primus, aka Cybertron, and sensing that one child was going to eat the other, he woke up and went crazy.) Jetfire and Hippolyta plot to get some kind of big bomb inside of Unicron's chest to hopefully do a lot of damage. Nighthawk wants to go with them, but they have some of the sciencey Autobots stay with her.
They launch their attack while forces on Cybertron and such are also attacking. But things go wrong and Jetfire and Hippolyta wind up stuck inside Unicron, trying to survive his inner defenses. Nighthawk asks the Decepticons to go with her to save them, but Bludgeon and the others refuse while the Autobots agree to go with her. At the cowardice of the Decepticons and heroism of the Autobots, Nighthawk peels off her Decepticon sign and becomes an Autobot.
She and a ship with the Autobots head towards Unicron. While the shuttle of Autobots is attacked, Unicron doesn't seem to notice Nighthawk. She's able to get inside and find her parents. They tell her the story of how her spark was formed and Jetfire surmises that its unusual creation is probably why Unicron isn't detecting her. So she convinces them to let her take the bomb to Unicron's spark chamber. While she's doing that, Jetfire, Hippolyta, and the others create a distraction so Unicron won't notice until it's too late. Even Bludgeon and the Decepticons show up to help, having been shamed into it by Nighthawk.
Nighthawk makes it and plants the bomb, but then Unicron finally notices her and seemingly traps her. The bomb goes off and Unicron is blown into pieces. Jetfire and Hippolyta mourn their daughter...but then she zooms out of the wreckage, unharmed.
There's a big celebration on Cybertron and Nighthawk, Jetfire, and Hippolyta all hug and stuff like that. Later, the Cybertraxians are settling on Cybertron and Hippolyta is going to help them get settled. Jetfire wants to get back to work on scientific pursuits along with his Autobot buddies. Nighthawk begins warrior training and meets Optimus Prime.
The End...?
