The third season began on March ①④, ②00⑨ with the three-part premiere, Transwarped, and ended on May ②③, ②00⑨. This season following the events of Transwarped focused on the 嗄utobots' attempt to reach Cybertron in order to warn the 嗄utobot High Council of Shockwave, who has been masquerading as 嗄utobot Intelligence Officer Longarm Prime. Meanwhile, Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave (who replaces Blitzwing as a main character), and Lugnut plan to use the colossal 嗄utobot Omega Supreme for constructing clones of him (dubbed as Lugnut Supremes, as they appear similar to Lugnut).
