	The Malto family celebrated completing their collection of Embershards. {{storylink\|Witwicky, Part 1}} Learning that Starscream intended to take control of the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]] [[Terratronus]], the Autobots launched an attack on the Decepticon base in which Dot took part. Unfortunately Starscream reassembled the Emberstone and used it to offline the Autobots and Terrans present, leaving Alex, Dot and Robby the only survivors. Dot and Alex stayed with the deactivated bots until Robby and Mo were able to reclaim the Emberstone and bring everyone back online. {{storylink\|Witwicky, Part 2}}		The Malto family celebrated completing their collection of Embershards. {{storylink\|Witwicky, Part 1}} Learning that Starscream intended to take control of the [[Titan (group)\|Titan]] [[Terratronus]], the Autobots launched an attack on the Decepticon base in which Dot took part.

			Dot helped out organizing a movie night for Robbie and [[Izzy (ES)\|Izzy]], though he probably didn't appreciate her offers to come sit by him for the scary parts. The family ended up having to try to round up the [[Mole Bot]]s which escaped the film thanks to Nightshade's [[hyper-reality film projector]]. {{storylink\|Attack of the Drive-In Movie}} Dot turned out with Optimus and Megatron when [[Prowl (ES)\|Prowl]]'s ship crashed into the [[Chaos Dome]], and joined the mission to rescue Optimus's adviser. She opted to stay at Megatron's side after the ship's automated weapons turned out to be hostile to him, and the pair tangled with [[Ravage (ES)\|Ravage]] before taking part in an operation to repower Prowl's ship. {{storylink\|No Soldier Left Behind}} Dot attended the debriefing following the [[Hate Plague]] being unleashed on the Autobots by unknown parties. {{storylink\|The Truth Is Out There}}

			When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived in a huge ship, the Autobots and Maltos assembled at the edge of the [[Chaos Dome]] to greet it. The Quintessons destroyed the Chaos Dome, forcing Robby and Mo to fly up to the ship, and Dot asked Megatron to go with them. The two parents helped the Autobots evacuate Witwicky to escape the chaos storm that had been unleashed as a result of the dome's destruction. {{Storylink\|Judgement Day, Part 1}} They kept an eye out for the kids while the Autobots executed Nightshade's plan to deal with the chaos storm, Alex eventually spotting their cyber-synced form being shot down as they escaped the Quintesson ship. The pair took part in a diversionary battle as the kids bought Terratronus back to life and powered up the Titan so she could destroy the Quintessons. {{storylink\|Judgement Day, Part 2}}

	When G.H.O.S.T. HQ went on alert due to a Decepticon attack in Witwicky, Dot headed there only to end up driving into a crater blasted during a battle between [[Shockwave (ES)\|Shockwave]] and the Maltobots. Croft, now aware that the Maltos had been secretly harboring the Terrans, took Dot back to the farm where Dot and Alex tried to keep up the ruse. This eventually led to Dot fighting Croft one-on-one while the Maltobots and Autobots fought Croft's [[Ghoid]] troopers outside. The battle ended when Croft managed to shut down the Autobots, and Mandroid arrived in a new, robotic form. {{storylink\|The Battle of Witwicky}} The Malto family fled from Mandroid, pursued by the [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticons]] [[Blitzwave]] and [[Razor-Fin]]. They hadn't gotten far when Razor-Fin managed to swallow Dot and Alex, returning the pair to Mandroid who wired the unconscious pair, along with Robby and Mo who were captured sometime later, into the spacebridge. {{storylink\|The Last Hope, Part 1}} They eventually recovered consciousness shortly after Mandroid activated his superweapon to terminate energon-based life on a planet-wide scale. Fortunately Robby and Mo were able to reverse the effects with their cyber-sleeves, and the Malto family was reunited. {{storylink\|The Last Hope, Part 2}}		When G.H.O.S.T.

			In the year following, the Autobots and Malto family set about trying to collect the shards of the shattered Emberstone. As part of Robby's plan to steal the Decepticons' shard collection, Dot coordinated a diversionary operation at the naval yard to distract the Decepticons while a team sneaked into their base. The plan failed and she and Alex had to encourage Robby to keep trying. {{storylink\|Aftermath (ES episode)\|Aftermath}} The Malto parents coordinated a sweep of the local Witwicky countryside searching for more shards, and later had dinner with the kids. {{storylink\|In Ruins}} After getting a rock caught in her ankle, Hashtag limped to the ranger station where Dot was able to get the rock out and dispense advice on choosing an alternate mode. Dot headed home for dinner and was there when Hashtag arrived with a new alt mode and a hard drive that the Decepticons had been after. {{storylink\|Control Alt Delete}}

			The family headed to the cave to get more cave water, only to find [[Aftermath (ES)\|Aftermath]] had cleaned it out. {{storylink\|Togetherness}} Following the creation of [[Spitfire (ES)\|Spitfire]], Dot said the Chaos Terran could stay with them on the farm. Spitfire's challenging of Twitch's position on an upcoming Autobot mission led Megatron to invoke the [[Polyhex Protocol]], and Dot helped organize the ensuing assault course. {{storylink\|Spitfire (episode)\|Spitfire}} Following Twitch's battle with Spitfire, [[Wheeljack (ES)\|Wheeljack]] approved her to go on the Autobot mission, but Dot wasn't convinced and insisted Robby go with her. {{storylink\|The Imposters}}

	Dot is a marked contrast to her bright and goofy husband [[Alex Malto\|Alex]], being tough as nails, pragmatic and often cynical. And while she is a warrior through-and-through, it is born of a deep, seemingly inexhaustible well of love. She delights in Alex's game nights and even the schmaltziest shows of affection bring a huge smile to her face. And while she can be unbending in her rules, she is extremely open in showering love on her kids; both her biological children [[Robby Malto\|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto\|Mo]], and the ever-increasing numbers of newly-created [[Terran]]s who fall under her care. There is no risk she won't take, no threat she won't stare down, run down or gun down, to protect her family. Her sheer unwavering determination in protecting others has not just greatly impressed [[Optimus Prime (ES)\|Optimus Prime]], who considers her an invaluable ally, but has even resulted in a genuine friendship with the reformed [[Megatron (ES)\|Megatron]].

Afterwards, they returned to the farm, but when the message that G.H.O.S.T. had captured the two Decepticons, Optimus asked Dot to join Megatron in transporting the pair to HQ. Unfortunately it turned out to be a trap, and Dot and Megatron were captured by Mandroid. Mandroid attempted to persuade her to join his crusade against the Transformers, but she instead made a run for it. {{storylink\|Age of Evolution, Part 1}} Sabotaging Mandroid's equipment and evading his Arachnamechs, Dot succeeded in attracting attention to the base, leading Optimus's rescue party to them.

	Dot is a marked contrast to her bright and goofy husband [[Alex Malto\|Alex]], being tough as nails, pragmatic and often cynical. And while she is a warrior through-and-through, it is born of a deep, seemingly inexhaustible well of love. She delights in Alex's game nights and even the schmaltziest shows of affection bring a huge smile to her face. And while she can be unbending in her rules, she is extremely open in showering love on her kids; both her biological children [[Robby Malto\|Robby]] and [[Mo Malto\|Mo]], and the ever-increasing numbers of newly-created [[Terran]]s who fall under her care. There is no risk she won't take, no threat she won't stare down, run down or gun down, to protect her family. Her sheer unwavering determination in protecting others has not just greatly impressed [[Optimus Prime (ES)\|Optimus Prime]], who considers her an invaluable ally, but has even resulted in a genuine friendship with the reformed [[Megatron (ES)\|Megatron]].

	Dot and her family, minus the Terrans, attended a G.H.O.S.T. Autobot Alliance ceremony, and had to run for cover when [[Nova Storm (ES)\|Nova Storm]] and [[Skywarp (ES)\|Skywarp]] attacked. Afterwards, they returned to the farm, but when the message that G.H.O.S.T. had captured the two Decepticons, Optimus asked Dot to join Megatron in transporting the pair to HQ. Unfortunately it turned out to be a trap, and Dot and Megatron were captured by Mandroid. Mandroid attempted to persuade her to join his crusade against the Transformers, but she instead made a run for it. {{storylink\|Age of Evolution, Part 1}} Sabotaging Mandroid's equipment and evading his Arachnamechs, Dot succeeded in attracting attention to the base, leading Optimus's rescue party to them. After Mandroid's base turned out to be a giant mech, Dot provided covering fire as they enacted Bumblebee's plan to tangle its legs with the anchor cable from a nearby battleship, and she ultimately used the ship's cannons to blast a hole in the mech, taking it down. In the aftermath, Dot met the three new Terrans, [[Nightshade (ES)\|Nightshade]], [[Hashtag (ES)\|Hashtag]] and [[Jawbreaker (ES)\|Jawbreaker]], and welcomed them to the family. {{storylink\|Age of Evolution, Part 2}}		Dot and her family, minus the Terrans, attended a G.H.O.S.T.

	Dot and Alex's worries at Hashtag going missing were ~~shortlived~~, as Bumblebee and Twitch returned with the missing Terran, and Nightshade took the opportunity to show everyone the [[Dugout\|an underground hideout]] they'd created for the family. {{storylink\|Hashtag: Oops}} Jawbreaker sought Dot's advice on interacting with his siblings and she gave him the idea to use Alex's video camera to get them to open up. The family later sat down to watch the movie that Hashtag and Jawbreaker had put together. {{Storylink\|Outtakes}} Dot and Alex tried to encourage Nightshade, who was having trouble relating to the other Terrans. Nightshade later sought her advice on whether Decepticons could be good, leading her to suspect they had encountered one. This turned out to be true when [[Tarantulas (ES)\|Tarantulas]] abducted her and Alex, resulting in Nightshade having to rescue them before the Decepticon could wipe their minds. {{storylink\|Missed Connection}}		Dot and Alex's worries at Hashtag going missing were short-lived, as Bumblebee and Twitch returned with the missing Terran, and Nightshade took the opportunity to show everyone the [[Dugout\|an underground hideout]] they'd created for the family. {{storylink\|Hashtag: Oops}} Jawbreaker sought Dot's advice on interacting with his siblings and she gave him the idea to use Alex's video camera to get them to open up.
