| Synopsis | The Machiners regroup and decide to return to Earth, but they need to find the Dimensional Transporter to get there. They split up in groups of two to search the facility for the Transporter only to be defeated in battle and captured by the Guardians. The Guardians are another group of super-humans, the new replacements for the outlawed Justice Machine. Only Talisman escapes capture. The Guardians replaced Challenger at one point prior to the group splitting up, and that aided in the Machiners' defeat. |
