He ordered his robot army to get working on a new device that makes Transformers stuck in vehicle mode. He first tested it on Skywarp when Skywarp is in his jet plane mode and after a series of whining Darth Grievous freed Skywarp from his jet mode. Meanwhile after liberating Coruscant from the Sith the Jedi watched the Autobot Jets put on an air show above the liberated planets but during the air show Skywarp used the Transfixatron to disable almost all the Autobots in their vehicle modes except Breakaway, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Skyfire and Jazz. When the Sith Legion came by the Autobots couldn't transform to robot mode and were stuck in vehicle mode but Optimus Prime said the Autobots are not helpless. They tried to roll and fly to attack the Sith Legion but the Magnaguards had flatten their Tires and the Seekers destroyed their Stabilizers causing the Autobots to become helpless. After the Battle the Autobots were all captured and were taken to the Sith Legions base at Tatooine. The remaining Autobots and Jedi had to make a grenade that can counter the effects of the Transfixatron and then travel to Tatooine to test the grenade. At Tatooine Darth Grievous introduce a new device that will slowly tear apart the Autobots called the crusher. This device kills the Robots and turned them into scrap piles and when the Seekers first took Ironhide as the first victim but the Autobots were somehow able to free Ironhide even if they can't transform. The Jedi and Breakaway had arrived and was able to use the grenade to free the Autobots that are trapped in their vehicle modes. Furious Darth Grievous ordered Devastator the giant robot transformer to destroy the Autobots once and for all. The Autobots had a hard time stopping Devastator but when Skyfire noticed the Transfixatron they used it against Devastator and it works on them. Darth Grievous and his legion had to escape from Tatooine which caused the Jedi to liberate the enslaved species there. After destroying the Transfixatron the Autobots return to Cybertron for rest, repairs and other things.
