Reptron challenged Beast-Bot to a race through Pyramid City, an ancient Incan ruin. Reptron's heavy footfalls caused the pyramid to crumble around them, and he became snared in a booby-trap. Beast-Bot rescued him, and though the race ended in a tie, Reptron admitted Beast-Bot, who had stopped to save him, had clearly won.
