"Rainbowmageddon" is the second segment of the 4th episode of the third season of Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, and the 34th episode overall in the series. It premiered in August 24, 2018.
Synopsis[]
Cloud Guy offers to fix a local rainbow in urgent need of repair.
Plot[]
Poppy wakes up and goes to greet Troll Village. Her attention is turned to a rainbow in the sky, and other Trolls also notice it. As the Trolls run to it, part of the rainbow breaks off, the Trolls all run except Guy Diamond, who is hypnotized by the impending danger. Poppy saves him from getting hit.
As the Trolls assess the event, Branch appears and calls it "Rainbowmageddon". He explains that they need to fly up to the rainbow and repair it before more chunks break off. Poppy notes Branch tends to go dark really fast.
Poppy wants a second opinion, and Cloud Guy appears from inside of Branch's mouth. Cloud Guy offers to help, claiming to be a rainbow expert due to being a cloud. He states that they do have a serious problem with the rainbow, but it's not as bleak as what Branch is making it out to be. Branch's only counterargument is that the one talking is Cloud Guy.
Poppy asks Cloud Guy to lead a team to repair the rainbow, to which he accepts. Branch objects because Cloud Guy will goof off. He agrees to go along, but only if Cloud Guy takes things seriously.
The mission to repair the rainbow goes fine and they land on it without a problem. Immediately, Cloud Guy begins to goof off as Branch says, but the other Trolls join in. Tired of waiting for Cloud Guy to actually do something, Branch tries to fix the rainbow himself.
The patch job fails and the rainbow becomes unstable. Cloud Guy pulls out a large firework and tells the others to go get in the rocket, as someone must stay behind to activate the firework needed to blow the rainbow into tiny pieces. He guilt-trips Branch, who admits that he actually likes Cloud Guy. Cloud Guy ends up fixing things with "cloud power"; the whole point was to get Branch to say that he liked him.
Cloud Guy gives a lesson speech, but Poppy isn't convinced that was the moral of the adventure. When Branch says he wants Cloud Guy to leave him alone, he complies and everyone leaves, leaving Branch behind on the rainbow.

Trivia[]
- In the episode "Bellow Bug Day", it was mentioned that the Trolls love rainbows.
- A map of the globe appears. The depicted continents are similar to the ones of real-life Earth, except that they're Troll-shaped.
- This continent style would be reused in the Trolls: TrollsTopia episode "The Ballad of Holly Darlin'", at the scene where Poppy and Smidge are sent flying straight up.
- "The darkest, the bleakest, the craziest conclusions ever!" is a phrase referencing the Trolls line "The biggest, the loudest, the craziest party ever!".
- The slow motion walk scene with Cloud Guy and the Trolls towards their shuttle is a reference to the film Armageddon.
- Incidentally, Cloud Guy is right - slow motion walks are indeed usually used to make a scene look "cool" in movies.
