{{episodenav |BW |season=1 |14 |prev=Dark Designs |next=The Spark}}

==Summary==
In scene reminiscent of a certain [[wikipedia:Frankenstein|early gothic novel]], Megatron creates a velociraptor clone based on the DNA of the [[Maximal]] Dinobot, Clone One, which also possesses a copy of Dinobot's mind.

Terrorsaur attacks the real Dinobot while on patrol and buries him in a cave-in. Clone One is sent to infiltrate the [[Axalon (BW)|Maximal Base]] in his place, but fails to convince Optimus Primal to immediately attack a fictional [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] camp in [[Grid Omega]]. Primal instead sends the Clone and Rattrap to fix the camp's exact location.

Rattrap transforms to attack the alleged base and ''almost'' discovers the Clone's inability to transform, but stands down when the Clone reminds him this is a ''recon'' mission. Rattrap is puzzled by this uncharacteristic show of restraint, but stands down. While crossing an open lava flow, Clone One kicks the bridge out from under Rattrap, apparently sending him to his death.

Clone One returns to the ''Axalon'' (now crewed only by Optimus Primal) and fakes an injury, telling Primal that they discovered the Predacon camp under cover of a "stealth device" and Rattrap is trapped. Despite having just received a report from Rhinox that Grid Omega shows no signs of Predacon activity, Optimus Primal activates [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] and leaves to rescue Rattrap.

Clone One struggles to deactivate the shield without Dinobot's authorization codes. Meanwhile, the real Dinobot, who has freed himself from the cave-in, returns to the Axalon and deactivates the perimeter shield. Clone One believes he has finally succeeded and summons Megatron.

Primal and Cheetor rendezvous in Grid Omega, where they pick up Rattrap's trail. Rattrap, who landed on a chunk of rock on the lava flow, leaps for his life when the flow becomes a lava waterfall. He then [[Wikipedia:Rocket jumping|grenade jumps]] back to stable ground, which draws Cheetor and Primal.

The two Dinobots come face to face and are momentarily baffled as their identical reflexes cause them to mirror one another's reactions. Clone One realizes the situation first and attacks, but Dinobot transforms and challenges his clone to a fight. Discovering that his double cannot transform, Dinobot return to Beast Mode and the two fight on equal terms. The Clone is losing ground, but a lucky blow appears to knock Dinobot unconscious. Clone One eagerly goes to meet Megatron, not realizing that Dinobot was [[Wikipedia:Playing possum|playing robo-possum]]...

Dinobot poses as his clone and greets Megatron outside the base and flatters his ego while discovering his plan to ambush the Maximals as they return from Grid Omega then use their own defense grid to finish them off. Dinobot activates the perimeter shield just as Megatron is walking through it, shocking him badly. Megatron initially believes the clone has betrayed him just as Dinobot did, but is cheered to learn that's not the case. With the arrival of the other Maximals, Megatron retreats.

The Maximals survey the damaged command center in dismay and inquire what happened to the clone. Dinobot informs them that it is gone for good...and was 'quite tasty.'

==Notes==
* Clone One's skin will later be seen on the wall of Dinobot's room. {{storylink|Code of Hero}}
* Megatron is extremely pleased to learn the clone did not betray him. One might suppose that if Dinobot had let him think clones were unreliable it would have saved the Maximals a world of trouble. ''Ah, hindsight.''
* Megatron would clone Dinobot twice more; the [[Cyber raptor]]s in [[Cutting Edge]] and [[Dinobot II]] in [[Feral Scream Part 1]]. The [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] would use DNA from Dinobot's spark to create the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]]s in [[Beast Machines]].
* The Chamber Dinobot's clone was created in appears to be an extensively refitted Predacon [[CR chamber|R-Chamber]].

:''Six-Speed is a [[Mini-Con]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:CybSixSpeed01.jpg|thumb|250px|I just want some pants. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!]]

'''Six-Speed''' is one of the three members of the [[Recon Mini-Con Team]]. Originally hailing from [[Gigantion]], he's a curious sort, and often fairly sensitive. The mysteries of his new human friends' behaviors fascinate him, which has led to some embarrassing moments, like his attempt to figure out why humans wear clothes.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Blit'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Cybertron''====
When he read the fairy tail (Do'h! My bad) TALE, about the little match girl, HE CRIED! Lori thought he was sweet!

*'''Recon Mini-Con Team''' (Scout-class, 2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-07'''

[[Image:Cybertron_Six-Speed_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The Greenmobile.]]

: Six-Speed transforms into a Le Mans style of race car, sold only in a three-pack with his Team-mates [[Jolt (Cybertron)|Jolt]] and [[Reverb]]. The [[Hasbro]] and [[Takara]] versions are slightly different, the primary change being differing [[paint application]]s; Hasbro Six-Speed has more deco on the car-mode roof, while the Takara version lacks the roof deco but adds white to the front of the car mode.

: This mold was also used to make [[Hydroplane]] and [[Socket]].

*'''Blit''' (Micron Galaxy, 2005)
:''Micron Galaxy ID number'': '''3'''

: Part of the "[[Change Micron|Micron Galaxy]]" assortment of [[candy toy]]s for ''Galaxy Force'', this version of Six-Speed comes with a small plank of chewing gum. Though the mold is largely identical to the normal retail version, it is in fact an entirely new tooling, most notably not being [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with his teammates.

*'''Shadow Recon Mini-Con Team''' (Scout class, 2006)

[[Image:Cybertron_ShadowRecon_MiniCon_team_toys.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Now ready for shadowy, under-handed dealings in seedy alleys.]]

: Part of the final wave of ''Cybertron'' Scouts, the Recon Team was entirely [[redeco]]ed in clear-blue, clear-colorless, clear-black and opaque-black plastics, a "stealth" coloration.
