Synopsis
Optimus Prime discovers that the Star Saber is embedded with a message from his former mentor Alpha Trion. In this message, Alpha Trion explains about four Iacon relics called the Omega Keys, which when brought together are able to make Cybertron inhabitable again. Meanwhile, Megatron opens the tomb of a deceased Prime on Cybertron, taking an arm and having it attached to him so he can use the Forge of Solus Prime to build a Dark Energon weapon strong enough to counter the Star Saber, the Dark Star Saber (i.e. Dark Saber).

Production notes
This computer-animated TV series is scheduled to run for 26 episodes.
Roll out with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and the rest of the heroic Autobots as they battle the evil Decepticons. Now that big bad Megatron has returned with a mysterious and dangerous element, Team Prime must prepare for an epic battle. But that's not so easy when they have to guard over Jack, Miko, and Raf- three normal kids who've accidentally discovered the Autobots. As Team Prime works to defend Earth from destruction, the drama gets just as intense as the heavy metal action.
