Megatron used Professor Teranova's skills to locate the buried Pearl of Bahoudin in Galata Valley. After finding the only area in the valley that was not made of rock, he asked to leave. Megatron's reply was to put him in handcuffs shaped like a glowing square. Teranova escaped while Megatron was talking to Soundwave and the Stunticons about the Europa 2000, and some time later met up with Bluestreak, Tracks, and Bumblebee and warned them about the Decepticon's plot. He was present during the final battle, but disappeared amidst all the chaos. Trans-Europe Express
