* TheStarscream: Ironically, it's Optimus Prime who ends up suffering from this trope instead of Megatron (as Starscream simply plays CommanderContrarian in this episode). Grimlock believes himself to be stronger than Optimus Prime, and it doesn't take much for Megatron to convince him and the two other Dinobots that the strongest bot should lead.

Angered by the curbstomping his troops received at the hands of the Dinobots, Megatron decides to resort to a new strategy: Psychological warfare. Meanwhile, two new recruits join the Dinobot ranks and a meteoroid spells trouble for Earth.
