Operation Obliterate Earth

In the aftermath of Cybertron's catastrophic orbit of Earth, both sides regroup, while Starscream puts into motion a plan to destroy the planet. Note: In the original US broadcast, this was episode 14 and served as the epilogue to episodes 11-13 in US broadcast (episodes 66-68 in Japanese broadcast). The Japanese release had some reordering due to some issue with the toy of Skyfire being of Bandai design (and not sold in Japan as a Transformer), which caused some legal concerns amongst Takara. Several missing episodes that had Skyfire present as a main character were eventually shown near end of the series.
