All Transformers with animal modes are summoned to battle a being called Tornedron, the little brother of Unicron.
Detailed synopsis
Somewhere, and energy creature begins feeding off other forms of energy. Slowly, at first, but then, his creator gives him an Energon cube. The creature grows, and spreads out to the universe. Soon, it attacks Cybertron. The Autobots attack it, but it simply drains their energy from them. The creature's creator is pleased with him, saying he's done better than his predecessor, Unicron.
At Earth's Moon, the Rodimus Prime is leading a group of Autobots against the Decepticons. However, the Dinobots, Predacons, Terrorcons, Sky Lynx, Trypticon, and the animal form Mini-Cassettes are all summoned by a mysterious voice. They leave the battle, and Galvatron orders a retreat. Suddenly, the energy creature arrives, and drains the energy from the Autobots and Decepticons, as well as Earth and the Moon.
Most of the departed Transformers are riding Trypticon. Naturally, tempers flare, and a brawl starts. At Sky Lynx's suggestion, Trypticon shakes himself and and causes them to stop. They arrive on an ancient planet near the center of the galaxy. After touching down, Sky Lynx assumes command of the group, despite the objections of Razorclaw and Hun-Gurrr. Finding a cave, they encounter a strange entity. He explains that he summoned the Primitives, all animal based Transformers, to come to fight Tornedron, the energy creature who was created by Primacron. The entity, who was once Primacron's assistant, eplains how Primacron created Unicron, but was nearly destroyed by his creation. After Unicron's defeat, Primacron created Tornedron as a replacement. Primacron's assistant hopes that the Primitives simple instincts will allow them to defeat Primacon's complex plans.
Suddenly, Tornedron arrives, and drains Trypticon of his energy. He crashes, and Grimlock is believed destroyed. Sky Lynx attacks, only to have his energy drained. Slag leads the Dinobots in retreat, while the other Primitives split up. Tornedron separates into four parts to track them down. He easily dispatches the Mini-Cassettes, chewing on Ratbat in the process. Headstrong declares that it would be better to die fighting, and the Predacons form Predaking. Their energy is sucked as well. The Terrorcons try to fight back, but are also drained. The Dinobots ambush Tornedron, but are dispatched. Unknown to Tornedron and Primacron, however, Grimlock survived, and follows them.
At his base, Primacron is having trouble controlling Tornedron. Tornedron declares that he intends to feed on Primacron, and that all of his failsafes have failed. Grimlock breaks into Primacron's lab...to find that Primacron is a tiny little alien...thing. Grimlock orders Primacron to reverse his damage, but Primacron declares that he's tried everything. Grimlock fixes things easily: he throws the reverse switch, which reverses Tornedron's energy polarity, restoring the energy to the drains Transformers and planets. In celebration, Grimlock destroys Primacron's lab, declaring it the smartest thing he's ever done.

Other Notes
- The art style in this episode is very different from all others in the G1 series, with stylized "anime-like" character models and proportions. It is widely believed that this lone episode was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, though little evidence has been found to confirm this.
Animation and/or technical glitches
Continuity errors
- When summoning the primitives, they forgot all about Laserbeak and Buzzsaw! Instead, Soundwave unleashes two new cassette Decepticons: Slugfest and Overkill.... who are then never seen again. Gee.
