Transformers: Armada

Hot Shot is extremely proud of his new victory over the 'Cons. The kids admire him so that he is ready to believe himself to be the most powerful Autobot in the Universe.

Sideways incites Hot Shot to rout the 'Cons on their own Base and promises he will get a chance to do this quite soon. And, unfortunately for Hot Shot, he proves to be right...

The Autobots lose one battle after the other since the Decepticons possess the Star Saber. Hot Shot is very sad because of the treason of Sideways and the loss of the wonderful weapon.

The Autobots, being learned from their recent bitter experience, are not very friendly disposed towards Scavenger. Smokeskreen considers him a traitor and even doesn't disguise his feelings. So do the kids too, especially Carlos. The Decepticons, in their turn, hope that Scavenger will spy on the Autobots.

Rad, Carlos, Billy and Fred take Smokescreen, Red Alert and the Mini-cons to a vacation site. But they forget to invite Alexis to this tour, and she is offended with them very much.

As the two sides fight for the latest Mini-con, Autobot Blurr arrives and claims the Mini-con for his own.

Megatron stops a meteor with the Skyboom Shield, then challenges the Autobots to a battle. Optimus Prime ends up face to face with the Star Saber, but Sparkplug uses the Skyboom shield to save him.

This episode starts with recap of the previous battle; Optimus Prime and Sparkplug are saved by the Skyboom Shield. Next, Hot Shot and Blurr are denying the kids access to the base, telling them that until they learn about the power of the Skyboom Shield the kids should stay away for their own safety.

Megatron is in great fury about the loss of their last battle. He wishes to wreak his anger on somebody, and Starscream runs into a squall.

Alexis has her laptop infected with a virus by Sideways. All three of them try to terminate him and end up getting sucked into cyber-space.

After the failure of just another attempt to get a Mini-con, the Decepticons quarrel with each other when finding out whose fault it is.

Optimus Prime is severely wounded during the last battle, and must undergo repairs. In the meantime Jetfire takes over as acting commander of the Autobots.
