'''Another Mini-Con is located in a forest, where the battle causes a fire to threaten the local flora and fauna.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] exchange fire with the [[Autobot|Autobots]] in a rocky area, while discussing which tactics they should use. While the other two move around to the sides, Starscream takes to the air and attacks, but is promptly shot down by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and crashes into Demolishor. Dismissing it as a lucky shot, Starscream looks up to see Optimus towering over him. The Autobot prepares to make the final shot, right to his forehead... when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] halts the training simulator, haranguing his men, particularly his "right-hand man". The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] begin blaming each other. Starscream promises Megatron to fight more effectively if the latter gives him a [[Mini-Con]]. The conversation is interrupted by the detection of a new Mini-Con; all the Decepticons leave for Earth.

[[Image:Jungle-Butterfingers.jpg|left|200px|thumb|We are ready… Sure, we are ready… We need only an ice-box… and, maybe, a little sewing machine…]]
Meanwhile, on a suburban street, [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] and [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] are waiting patiently for [[Rad White|Rad]] to arrive. He turns up carrying three backpacks stuffed with camping supplies, and the trio continue on to the Autobot base, where the Autobots are still trying to activate the [[Mini-Con storage panel|Mini-Con panel]] they found in [[Antarctica]]. As Hot Shot notes with amusement the amount of equipment the kids have brought, the alarm goes off to notify them that another Mini-Con has been detected. The kids accompany the Autobots to a forest. Hot Shot sends Jolt up to take a look around, and the Mini-Con soon spots a glint of light in the distance. Optimus orders that they move out, and Hot Shot transforms to vehicle mode, but, as Red Alert points out, they're going to have to walk. Optimus leaves his [[trailer]] behind with [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] in charge.

[[Image:Jungle-Slapstick.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Mind that tree." "What tree?" *thwack*]]
Soon the Autobots are trudging through the forest with Hot Shot complaining loudly. He breaks out a buzzsaw to cut his way through, which earns a scolding from his companions. Carlos alerts them to a path ahead and, sure enough, there's a wide path where the trees have been cleared. As they drive along, Rad tells the others that the path has been cut by illegal loggers and delivers a lecture on the importance of plants to Earth's biosphere.

Elsewhere the Decepticons are also heading towards the Mini-Con, and, of course, bickering. Starscream is determined to get the Mini-Con himself, having missed out on the one in Antarctica.

[[Image:Jungle-Forest Fire.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Spoiler Alert: BAMBI'S MOTHER DIES!!]]
The Autobots abruptly halt as a tree falls across their path and they find themselves face-to-face with the Decepticons. Although the Decepticons open fire, Optimus is concerned for the welfare of the trees and orders his men not to fire back unless they have a clear shot. Starscream and Cyclonus transform for an aerial attack and end up getting in each other's way. Cyclonus's missile then touches down amongst the trees, where it starts a fire. The alarmed kids begin shooing forest animals away from the blaze and are only saved from a falling tree by Optimus. At Rad's urging, Optimus orders the Autobots to fall back to contain the fire. The surprised Decepticons resume their search for the Mini-Con.

The Autobots fight the fire, but the kids observe that it's a losing battle and they really need water to put it out. Rad sends Laserbeak out, and the tiny Autobot soon locates a nearby lake. Red Alert says they can use Prime's trailer, so Optimus contacts Sparkplug and gets the Mini-Con to bring the trailer to them.

Meanwhile the Decepticons have located the Mini-Con panel in a huge old tree. Although Starscream asks for it, Megatron denies his request and claims it himself. Starscream doesn't dare to argue further, but he has a plan of his own...

[[Image:Jungle-Null Ray Cannon.jpg|right|200px|thumb|An airborne Decepticon attacks! Tr-r-remble ever-r-rybody-y-y!]]
Having hooked up the pipes, the Mini-Cons begin putting out the fire, and Rad lets Optimus know the Autobots can go on and stop the Decepticons. The three Autobots interrupt their foe attempting to cut down the tree the Mini-Con is perched in, and both sides clash. Starscream winds up with no enemy to fight, and seizes his chance. While the other three Decepticons are occupied, Starscream slices the tree with his sword and snatches the Mini-Con panel. Hurrah! He has a partner at last! Megatron only grits his teeth as Starscream gloats over his acquisition, revealing the Mini-Con [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]].

After zipping among the trees, Swindle merges with Starscream, unlocking two Null laser cannons on his shoulders. Starscream decides to demonstrate his new extraordinary power immediately. The single blast from the cannons sends both the Autobots and Decepticons flying and creates a huge crater. Promising Starscream will pay, a none-too-pleased Megatron orders a retreat. Before following his chief to warp gate, Starscream warns the 'Bots that they must not to take their eyes off him from now on. Optimus Prime figures he's right.

While the Autobots are standing around shell-shocked, the kids run up with the news that they've put the fire out. Although Rad suggests perhaps they should have left the fire and helped the Autobots obtain the Mini-Con, Optimus assured him that they did the right thing.

Back on the Moon, the Decepticons try their training simulation again, and Starscream uses his new laser cannons to obliterate the Autobot forces completely. He begins to wonder if he's stronger than Megatron himself. Megatron has a rather different opinion on the matter.

'''Another Mini-Con is located in a forest, where the battle causes a fire to threaten the local flora and fauna.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] and [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] exchange fire with the [[Autobot|Autobots]] in a rocky area, while discussing which tactics they should use. While the other two move around to the sides, Starscream takes to the air and attacks, but is promptly shot down by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and crashes into Demolishor. Dismissing it as a lucky shot, Starscream looks up to see Optimus towering over him. The Autobot prepares to make the final shot, right to his forehead... when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] halts the training simulator, haranguing his men, particularly his "right-hand man". The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] begin blaming each other. Starscream promises Megatron to fight more effectively if the latter gives him a [[Mini-Con]]. The conversation is interrupted by the detection of a new Mini-Con; all the Decepticons leave for Earth.

[[Image:Jungle-Butterfingers.jpg|left|200px|thumb|We are ready… Sure, we are ready… We need only an ice-box… and, maybe, a little sewing machine…]]
Meanwhile, on a suburban street, [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] and [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]] are waiting patiently for [[Rad White|Rad]] to arrive. He turns up carrying three backpacks stuffed with camping supplies, and the trio continue on to the Autobot base, where the Autobots are still trying to activate the [[Mini-Con storage panel|Mini-Con panel]] they found in [[Antarctica]]. As Hot Shot notes with amusement the amount of equipment the kids have brought, the alarm goes off to notify them that another Mini-Con has been detected. The kids accompany the Autobots to a forest. Hot Shot sends Jolt up to take a look around, and the Mini-Con soon spots a glint of light in the distance. Optimus orders that they move out, and Hot Shot transforms to vehicle mode, but, as Red Alert points out, they're going to have to walk. Optimus leaves his [[trailer]] behind with [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] in charge.

[[Image:Jungle-Slapstick.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Mind that tree." "What tree?" *thwack*]]
Soon the Autobots are trudging through the forest with Hot Shot complaining loudly. He breaks out a buzzsaw to cut his way through, which earns a scolding from his companions. Carlos alerts them to a path ahead and, sure enough, there's a wide path where the trees have been cleared. As they drive along, Rad tells the others that the path has been cut by illegal loggers and delivers a lecture on the importance of plants to Earth's biosphere.

Elsewhere the Decepticons are also heading towards the Mini-Con, and, of course, bickering. Starscream is determined to get the Mini-Con himself, having missed out on the one in Antarctica.

[[Image:Jungle-Forest Fire.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Spoiler Alert: BAMBI'S MOTHER DIES!!]]
The Autobots abruptly halt as a tree falls across their path and they find themselves face-to-face with the Decepticons. Although the Decepticons open fire, Optimus is concerned for the welfare of the trees and orders his men not to fire back unless they have a clear shot. Starscream and Cyclonus transform for an aerial attack and end up getting in each other's way. Cyclonus's missile then touches down amongst the trees, where it starts a fire. The alarmed kids begin shooing forest animals away from the blaze and are only saved from a falling tree by Optimus. At Rad's urging, Optimus orders the Autobots to fall back to contain the fire. The surprised Decepticons resume their search for the Mini-Con.

The Autobots fight the fire, but the kids observe that it's a losing battle and they really need water to put it out. Rad sends Laserbeak out, and the tiny Autobot soon locates a nearby lake. Red Alert says they can use Prime's trailer, so Optimus contacts Sparkplug and gets the Mini-Con to bring the trailer to them.

Meanwhile the Decepticons have located the Mini-Con panel in a huge old tree. Although Starscream asks for it, Megatron denies his request and claims it himself. Starscream doesn't dare to argue further, but he has a plan of his own...

[[Image:Jungle-Null Ray Cannon.jpg|right|200px|thumb|An airborne Decepticon attacks! Tr-r-remble ever-r-rybody-y-y!]]
Having hooked up the pipes, the Mini-Cons begin putting out the fire, and Rad lets Optimus know the Autobots can go on and stop the Decepticons. The three Autobots interrupt their foe attempting to cut down the tree the Mini-Con is perched in, and both sides clash. Starscream winds up with no enemy to fight, and seizes his chance. While the other three Decepticons are occupied, Starscream slices the tree with his sword and snatches the Mini-Con panel. Hurrah! He has a partner at last! Megatron only grits his teeth as Starscream gloats over his acquisition, revealing the Mini-Con [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]].

After zipping among the trees, Swindle merges with Starscream, unlocking two Null laser cannons on his shoulders. Starscream decides to demonstrate his new extraordinary power immediately. The single blast from the cannons sends both the Autobots and Decepticons flying and creates a huge crater. Promising Starscream will pay, a none-too-pleased Megatron orders a retreat. Before following his chief to warp gate, Starscream warns the 'Bots that they must not to take their eyes off him from now on. Optimus Prime figures he's right.

While the Autobots are standing around shell-shocked, the kids run up with the news that they've put the fire out. Although Rad suggests perhaps they should have left the fire and helped the Autobots obtain the Mini-Con, Optimus assured him that they did the right thing.

Back on the Moon, the Decepticons try their training simulation again, and Starscream uses his new laser cannons to obliterate the Autobot forces completely. He begins to wonder if he's stronger than Megatron himself. Megatron has a rather different opinion on the matter.
