This season began merely two whole weeks after the first season had ended, on April 19, 2008, with the airing of __QUOTE__The Elite Guard__QUOTE__, and ended on July 5, 2008, with the two-parter, __QUOTE__A Bridge Too Close__QUOTE__. The season revolved mainly around the Autobots in the aftermath of Megatron__APOS__s return, trying to restore the city and their image. Meanwhile, Megatron, Lugnut, and Blitzwing have captured Prof. Sumdac in order to build a Space Bridge, hoping to use it to conquer a weakened Cybertron from within. A sub-plot also focuses on Sari as she searches for her father, while learning that there is no record of her existence of any means. Also, Blackarachnia (originally Elita One) has been reduced to a minor recurring character, only appearing in one episode of the entire season (__QUOTE__Black Friday__QUOTE__).
