The Quintessons capture the Autobots and put them on trial, accusing them of trespassing on their planet.

Meanwhile, Galvatron and his Decepticons arrive on Quintessa and attempt to ally themselves with the Quintessons. Galvatron sees the opportunity to take advantage of the Quintessons' war efforts and use the Sharkticons as his own army.

As the Autobots and the Sharkticons begin their revolt against the Quintessons, they face numerous challenges and setbacks. The Quintessons have set a trap for them, known as "The Killing Jar," a deadly arena where the Sharkticons must fight for their freedom against powerful robotic adversaries.
The Autobots must navigate through the arena and find a way to disable the traps and free the Sharkticons. They are also pursued by the Decepticons, who see the chaos as an opportunity to steal the energy resources of Quintessa. It all leads to a thrilling showdown between the two factions, with the fate of the Sharkticons and the planet hanging in the balance.
