Ep 20. The Ultimate Weapon

The episode named "The Ultimate Weapon" marks the twentieth installment of the third season of Transformers. In this episode, the Autobots and Decepticons both learn about the superweapon, the Anti-Matter Formula, a powerful weapon capable of destroying entire planets. The episode reveals that the formula has been hidden in the depths of Cybertron for centuries, long before the time of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Both sides are desperate to obtain the formula, with the Autobots hoping to destroy it and the Decepticons eager to use it for their own purposes.

As the Autobots try to find the formula in the old Cybertronian archives, the Decepticons launch an all-out assault on their base, hoping to acquire any information they can. However, the Autobots manage to repel their attackers, and Optimus Prime decides to take the fight to the Decepticons.

Meanwhile, Megatron and Soundwave discover a lost Cybertronian lab where they believe they can find the formula. However, they find themselves trapped in the lab's maze-like corridors, with no way out. Soundwave tries to find a way out of the lab while Megatron pushes deeper into the labyrinth.

The Autobots and Decepticons both arrive at the location of the formula, where they engage in a fierce battle. Megatron confronts Optimus Prime one-on-one, hoping to prevent the Autobots from destroying the weapon. As the battle rages on, Soundwave manages to find a secret way out of the lab, allowing the Decepticons to get the upper hand and obtain the formula.

However, things are not as they seem. The Anti-Matter Formula is more powerful than anyone anticipated, and it soon becomes clear that using it would lead to the destruction of everything. Megatron faces a difficult decision: use the weapon to achieve ultimate victory or destroy it to prevent the destruction of the universe.

In the end, both the Autobots and Decepticons come to the realization that the Anti-Matter Formula is simply too dangerous to use. Together, they destroy the weapon, preventing it from falling into the wrong hands. The episode ends with Optimus Prime and Megatron agreeing that some weapons are simply too powerful to exist, and that it is up to them to make the right choices to prevent further destruction.
