[[Image:Screenshot-arm-20-1.jpg|left|175px|thumb|Let the guy with gun-fingers hold onto the valuable item? Brilliant!]] Another day at the office wherein the [[Autobots|Autobots]] battle the [[Decepticons|Decepticons]] for a [[Mini-Con|Mini-Con]]. From the Autobots' base, the kids watch (with [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] also there this time). While [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] holds off the Autobots, [[Demolishor|Demolishor]] digs up the Mini-Con. [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], in a rare moment of competence, blasts away Red Alert's attempt to snipe at Demolishor. But just as the Decepticons teleport home, the Mini-Con is blasted from Demolishor's hands by a new Autobot, who [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] introduces as [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]]. Blurr activates the Mini-Con panel, who turns out to be [[Incinerator (Armada)|Incinerator]].
Returning home from victory, the Autobots are greeted by the kids, who show interest in their new friend Blurr, who barely acknowledges the kids.

Later, Incinerator makes beepy conversation with the Street Action Mini-Cons. The five kids try to start conversation with Blurr, but are sidetracked by the topic of Fred's big fat stomach. When Hot Shot arrives, Blurr leaves. Carlos and Billy give chase and Blurr almost mistakes them for the enemy. Hot Shot tries to break through Blurr's tough guy persona, and Blurr explains that he doesn't need to have a personality.

Hot Shot tries to break through Blurr's tough guy persona, and Blurr explains that he doesn't need to have a personality.


The Decepticons detect the activation of a new Mini-Con and head out. Demolishor takes extra caution to not lose the Mini-Con at the last minute as he did last time. And Megatron barely registers that the two captured panels containing the components of the Skyboom Shield have started to resonate.

And Megatron barely registers that the two captured panels containing the components of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] have started to resonate.


The Decepticons arrive at the general location where the Mini-Con (Mirage) has already activated and begun to run laps around a human-made racetrack. The Autobots show up soon after and try to intercept the Mini-Con. Hot Shot and Blurr give chase, while the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons get into a standing firefight.

The Autobots show up soon after and try to intercept the Mini-Con. Hot Shot and Blurr give chase, while the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons get into a standing firefight.


On the Track, Hot Shot and Blurr have conflicting direction, and impact each other a few times. Blurr however is unresponsive. Smokescreen uses his Mini-Con Liftor to blast away Starscream, Sideways, and Cyclonus. Blurr and Hot Shot have to stop and combine with their Mini-Cons to overcome the chasm interrupting the racetrack.

Hot Shot and Blurr give each other respect knuckles like the first episode, and everybody is happy they made a new special friend.

Let the guy with gun-fingers hold onto the valuable item? Brilliant!

Another day at the office wherein the Autobots battle the Decepticons for a Mini-Con. From the Autobots' base, the kids watch (with Billy and Fred also there this time). While Megatron holds off the Autobots, Demolishor digs up the Mini-Con. Cyclonus, in a rare moment of competence, blasts away Red Alert's attempt to snipe at Demolishor.
