	[[Hot Shot (Armada)\|Hot Shot]] ~~was~~ annoying everyone at the Autobot base by claiming that [[Red Alert (Armada)\|Red Alert]] ~~wasn~~'t much of a warrior, despite [[Optimus Prime (Armada)\|Optimus]] saying that ~~wasn~~'t the case. Then, the alarm ~~sounding~~, signaling that another Mini-Con ~~had~~ become active somewhere on Earth. The Autobots and the kids ~~used~~ the warp-gate to travel to the ~~mini~~-Con's location, somewhere in the frozen wasteland of [[Antarctica]]. The Autobots initially ~~encountered~~ problems with the harsh conditions, but ~~were~~ put back in working order thanks to Red Alert. Hot Shot, [[Jolt (Armada)\|Jolt]] and Carlos then set off ~~together~~ on their own to cover more ground. As they ~~scoped~~ out the area, the team ~~encountered~~ [[Starscream (Armada)\|Starscream]]. While avoiding the Decepticon's fireblasts, Carlos ~~spotted~~ the Mini-Con panel embedded in stone. Before Hot Shot ~~could~~ get to the panel however, he ~~found~~ himself outnumbered by the Decepticons surrounding him. Thankfully, Red Alert is able to intervene before the Decepticons execute Hot Shot, dispelling the opinion Hot Shot held earlier about his fellow Autobot. With the arrival of Optimus Prime onto the battlefield, the Decepticons ~~fled~~, save Starscream, who ~~busied~~ himself retrieving the Mini-Con. His efforts ~~were~~ foiled at the last second by Jolt, who ~~retrieved~~ the Mini-Con panel before Starscream ~~could~~ awaken it.		[[Hot Shot (Armada)\|Hot Shot]] is annoying everyone at the Autobot base by claiming that [[Red Alert (Armada)\|Red Alert]] isn't much of a warrior, despite [[Optimus Prime (Armada)\|Optimus]] saying that isn't the case. Then, the alarm sounds, signaling that another Mini-Con has become active somewhere on Earth. The Autobots and the kids use the warp-gate to travel to the Mini-Con's location, somewhere in the frozen wasteland of [[Antarctica]]. The Autobots initially encounter problems with the harsh conditions, but are put back in working order thanks to Red Alert. Hot Shot, [[Jolt (Armada)\|Jolt]] and Carlos then set off on their own to cover more ground. As they scope out the area, the team encounters [[Starscream (Armada)\|Starscream]]. While avoiding the Decepticon's fireblasts, Carlos spots the Mini-Con panel embedded in stone.

Thankfully, Red Alert is able to intervene before the Decepticons execute Hot Shot, dispelling the opinion Hot Shot held earlier about his fellow Autobot. With the arrival of Optimus Prime onto the battlefield, the Decepticons flee, save Starscream, who busies himself retrieving the Mini-Con. His efforts are foiled at the last second by Jolt, who retrieves the Mini-Con panel before Starscream can awaken it.

	On a later adventure, the kids and the Autobots ~~found~~ themselves warping to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the search for another Mini-Con. Thanks to Red Alert's adjustments, the kids ~~could~~ safely travel within the Autobots' vehicle modes underwater. The group ~~happened~~ upon the ancient ruins of the lost civilization, [[Atlantis]]. Before the group ~~could~~ explore the city, they ~~were~~ ambushed by the Decepticons, though they quickly ~~managed~~ to escape their foes. Finding an air pocket within the city, the kids ~~were~~ sent out to look for the Mini-Con while the Autobots back-~~tracked~~ to deal with the Decepticons. The kids come upon a [[Amphitrite\|hologram]] which informs them of the fate of Atlantis, and how the three Mini-Cons that formed the [[Star Saber (Armada)\|Star Saber]] led to its ruin.

Leader-1 accomplishes his task, and with the Mini-Con in his possession, Megatron orders a retreat.

	On a later adventure, the kids and the Autobots found themselves warping to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the search for another Mini-Con. Thanks to Red Alert's adjustments, the kids could safely travel within the Autobots' vehicle modes underwater. The group happened upon the ancient ruins of the lost civilization, [[Atlantis]]. Before the group could explore the city, they were ambushed by the Decepticons, though they quickly managed to escape their foes. Finding an air pocket within the city, the kids were sent out to look for the Mini-Con while the Autobots back-tracked to deal with the Decepticons. The kids come upon a [[Amphitrite\|hologram]] which informs them of the fate of Atlantis, and how the three Mini-Cons that formed the [[Star Saber (Armada)\|Star Saber]] led to its ruin. As the story concluded, Megatron burst into the room and ordered [[Leader-1 (Armada)\|Leader-1]] to find the dormant Mini-Con. Leader-1 accomplishes his task, and with the Mini-Con in his possession, Megatron orders a retreat. Due to the violent fight that had taken place between the Autobots and Decepticons, the city begins to collapse, prompting the kids and the Autobots to retreat as well.

	Back at Autobot headquarters, the Autobots learn that the Mini-Con made off with was [[Sonar (Armada)\|Sonar]], the hilt of the Star Saber. Thankfully, the Autobots already had [[Runway (Armada)\|Runway]] in their possession; he was the Mini-Con they had retrieved at the South Pole. The base's alarm sounded once more, indicating that the next Mini-Con would be found at a volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific. The group arrived at the deserted island as the volcano began to erupt. Once more, Megatron shortly arrived on the scene, and engaged Optimus. With [[Laserbeak (Armada)\|Laserbeak]]'s help, the kids began to search the island for the Mini-Con. Meanwhile, the battle raged between the Cybertronians, with a Decepticon victory narrowly avoided thanks to [[High Wire (Armada)\|High Wire]], [[Grindor (Armada)\|Grindor]] and [[Sureshock (Armada)\|Sureshock]] stepping in once Starscream powerlinked with his [[Swindle (Armada)\|own Mini-Con]]. As lava begins the spew out of the volcano, Laserbeak spots the Mini-Con panel adrift in the molten stream. A brief back-and-forth for possession of the panel takes place, with it ultimately wounding up in Autobot possession.

	Back at Decepticon headquarters, Megatron had managed to awaken Sonar using intense radiation. Using the Mini-Con's ability to sense its kin, Megatron opened up a warp gate within the Autobots' headquarters to retrieve the two other components of the Star Saber. As the Autobots engaged their base's internal defenses to ward off the intruders, Alexis spotted [[Billy (Armada)\|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)\|Fred]] who had wandered off after Carlos had invited them over to check out the base. The Autobots were forced to shut down the base's defenses to avoid injuring the kids. Forced to confront Megatron and his goons directly, the Autobots left Rad, Carlos and Alexis in the base's control room. Starscream and Demolishor are defeated by Red Alert and Smokescreen respectively, while the kids manage to trick Cyclonus into being teleported away by the Autobots' warp gate. But Optimus Prime and Hot Shot did not fare as well against Megatron, who managed to gain control of Sonar, and combined all three Mini-Cons in his possession into the Star Saber. Thankfully, Optimus managed to knock the weapon out of Megatron's hands, leading to Hot Shot catching it and forcing Megatron to retreat.
