Smokescreen to attempt a run by challenging his performance hardware. While

In the Autobot control room, Optimus receives a direct challenge from
Megatron. Optimus knows that despite being hopelessly overpowered, it is his job
to accept the challenge. The Autobots all rush out to teleport to the location
Megatron specified.


==Summary==
When the Autobots arrive to battle the Decepticons, Megatron summons his &lt;A
title="Star Saber (Armada)"
href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Star_Saber_(Armada)"&gt;Star Saber&lt;/A&gt; and Skyboom
Shield and tells Demolishor to hold back, as he anticipates that with his new
weapons, he can defeat the Autobots on his own. The shield blocks attacks from
Hot Shot and Blurr, and then all of the Autobots' firepower. Megatron moves
forward and slices apart Optimus's rifle. Cyclonus and Demolishor contribute by
raining down gunfire on the scattering Autobots, allowing Megatron and Optimus
to be separated from the rest of the group.


Testing the power of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom]] Shield, Megatron disintegrates an entire comet. Satisfied with his new toy's power, Megatron anticipates the next conflict will allow the [[Decepticons]] to end the routine of battling for new [[Mini-Cons]] and finish the [[Autobots]].
Hot Shot and Blurr notice Optimus fighting Megatron by himself, and the two
transform and rush to aid their leader. Starscream and Cyclonus chase the duo
from the air. Hot Shot provides cover fire while Blurr attempts to lose his
pursuers. Blurr and Hot Shot trade positions, and eventually Cyclonus and
Starscream fly out of range. Powerlinking with Swindle, Starscream "lays a
pounding" on the two cars.  


In the Autobots' base, Hot Shot is running through an obstacle course of suspended metal pieces, while the Mini-Cons try to slow him down by tossing stuff at Hot Shot. But before Hot Shot can win, Blurr catches up and captures the flag. Smokescreen arrives and asks to join in the training, and Blurr goads Smokescreen to attempt a run by challenging his performance hardware. While taking several hits in the process, Smokescreen eventually manages to grab the flag.
In a move even Demolishor finds unwise, Sideways dives directly onto Red
Alert, but is soundly blasted away. Smokescreen, tired of the Decepticons
holding an advantage, powerlinks with Liftor and disrupts Starscream. Demolishor
rolls a large boulder at Smokescreen, who is pinned to the ground. When Cyclonus
observes that the Decepticons are maintaining their advantage, he's blasted out
of the sky by Sideways, whom neither side sees.  


[[Image:Screenshot-arm-21-2.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Autobots have the best screensavers.]]
Near a crevice, Optimus is still surviving against Megatron. Hot Shot and
Blurr arrive to distract Megatron, allowing Optimus to grab onto the Skyboom
Shield while Megatron is still holding it. Trying to slice Optimus away,
Megatron accidentally tosses the shield into the crevice. Angry, he attempts to
impale Optimus but is halted by Sparkplug.  


In the Autobot control room, Optimus receives a direct challenge from Megatron. Optimus knows that despite being hopelessly overpowered, it is his job to accept the challenge. The Autobots all rush out to teleport to the location Megatron specified.

With Megatron intending to get at Optimus by slicing through Sparkplug, the
Skyboom Shield activates and levitates from the crevice to protect the Autobot.  
The two weapons used against each other send out a bright light that Rad notes
is similar to the light that reactivated all the Mini-Cons in the &lt;A
title="First Encounter" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/First_Encounter"&gt;start&lt;/A&gt;
of their Earth encounters.  


When the Autobots arrive to battle the Decepticons, Megatron summons his [[Star Saber(Armada)|Star Sabre]] and [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom]] Shield, and tells Demolishor to hold back, as Megatron anticipates that with his new weapons, he can defeat the Autobots on his own. The shield blocks attacks from Hot Shot and Blurr, and then all of the Autobots' firepower. Megatron moves forward and slices apart Optimus's rifle. Cyclonus and Demolishor contribute by raining down gunfire on the scattering Autobots, allowing Megatron and Optimus to be separated from the rest of the group.
The Decepticons, having lost the shield, retreat to their base again. The
Autobots congratulate Smokescreen for changing the tide of battle (that is,  
before he was caught under a rock), and Fred hugs Carlos.

*'''Carlos:''' Ooh, Wicked cool!


**'''Fred:''' He kinda reminds me of myself when I was working out more.
:—'''Fred''' pays '''Blurr''' a dubious compliment.
**'''Blurr:''' Somehow I find that a little hard to believe, Fred.
"Hahaha! In your face. Hahahaha!"&lt;BR&gt;"Sorry, Hot Shot, but it looks like
Smokescreen smoked you, but good."


**'''Smokescreen:''' Hahaha! In your face.
**'''Blurr:''' Sorry Hot Shot, but it looks like Smokescreen smoked you, but good.


*'''Hot Shot:''' Didn't think we'd show, did ya, ya overgrown motherboard.
:—'''Smokescreen''' and '''Blurr''', after Smokescreen successfully runs
the obstacle course
"Aw, man, that creep really gives me the creeps."


*'''Sparkplug:''' Lock onto shield.


==Notes==
:—'''Carlos''' needs a thesaurus.
"We've been expecting you, Optimus."&lt;BR&gt;"Didn't think we'd show, did ya,
ya overgrown motherboard?"


*Sideways' poorly thought out attack on Red Alert could have been to intentionally get himself disabled, helping the sides stay level so the conflict endures. This is consistent with his secret long-term agenda.


*During the chase, Starscream's jet blast is solid black. Several other places during the episode where glowing energy would be expected are solid black.
:—'''Megatron''' and '''Hot Shot''', who should really have his audio
*Although overall the animation in this episode was pretty bad, it's really noticeable when for a moment, Starscream himself is a solid black dot with wings.
receptors checked
"Hey, where are you going?"&lt;BR&gt;"For a Sunday drive! What do you think,
you moron?"&lt;BR&gt;"He's such a kidder!"


*This is the first time a Mini-Con speaks English.


*This is one of the three Armada episodes with more than one word in the title.
:—'''Starscream''' and '''Cyclonus'''
"Lock onto shield."

*This is the first time a Mini-Con speaks English.
*This is one of the three Armada episodes with more than one word in the
title.
*Sideways' poorly thought out attack on Red Alert could have been to
intentionally get himself disabled, helping the sides stay level so the
conflict endures. This is consistent with his secret long-term agenda.
*The opening narration has changed for this episode. It did not set up the
whole Mini-Con premise but rather the small plot point of the rogue meteor

Satisfied with his new toy's power, Megatron anticipates the next conflict will allow the <A class=mw-redirect title=Decepticons href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticons">Decepticons</A> to end the routine of battling for new <A class=mw-redirect title=Mini-Cons href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mini-Cons">Mini-Cons</A> and finish the <A class=mw-redirect title=Autobots href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobots">Autobots</A>.

In the Autobots' base, Hot Shot is running through an obstacle course of suspended metal pieces, while the Mini-Cons try to slow him down by tossing stuff at him. But before Hot Shot can win, Blurr catches up and captures the flag. Smokescreen arrives and asks to join in the training, and Blurr goads Smokescreen to attempt a run by challenging his performance hardware. While taking several hits in the process, Smokescreen eventually manages to grab the flag.

<DIV class="thumb tleft"> <DIV class=thumbinner style="WIDTH: 152px"><A class=image title="Autobots have the best screensavers." href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Screenshot-arm-21-2.jpg"><IMG class=thumbimage height=114 alt="Autobots have the best screensavers." src="Decisive Battle - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/150px-Screenshot-arm-21-2.jpg" width=150 border=0></A> <DIV class=thumbcaption> <DIV class=magnify><A class=internal title=Enlarge href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Screenshot-arm-21-2.jpg"><IMG height=11 alt="" src="Decisive Battle - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/magnify-clip.png" width=15></A></DIV>Autobots have the best screensavers.</DIV></DIV></DIV> In the Autobot control room, Optimus receives a direct challenge from Megatron. Optimus knows that despite being hopelessly overpowered, it is his job to accept the challenge. The Autobots all rush out to teleport to the location Megatron specified.

When the Autobots arrive to battle the Decepticons, Megatron summons his <A title="Star Saber (Armada)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Star_Saber_(Armada)">Star Saber</A> and Skyboom Shield and tells Demolishor to hold back, as he anticipates that with his new weapons, he can defeat the Autobots on his own. The shield blocks attacks from Hot Shot and Blurr, and then all of the Autobots' firepower. Megatron moves forward and slices apart Optimus's rifle. Cyclonus and Demolishor contribute by raining down gunfire on the scattering Autobots, allowing Megatron and Optimus to be separated from the rest of the group.

Hot Shot and Blurr notice Optimus fighting Megatron by himself, and the two transform and rush to aid their leader. Starscream and Cyclonus chase the duo from the air. Hot Shot provides cover fire while Blurr attempts to lose his pursuers. Blurr and Hot Shot trade positions, and eventually Cyclonus and Starscream fly out of range. Powerlinking with Swindle, Starscream "lays a pounding" on the two cars.

In a move even Demolishor finds unwise, Sideways dives directly onto Red Alert, but is soundly blasted away. Smokescreen, tired of the Decepticons holding an advantage, powerlinks with Liftor and disrupts Starscream. Demolishor rolls a large boulder at Smokescreen, who is pinned to the ground. When Cyclonus observes that the Decepticons are maintaining their advantage, he's blasted out of the sky by Sideways, whom neither side sees.

Near a crevice, Optimus is still surviving against Megatron. Hot Shot and Blurr arrive to distract Megatron, allowing Optimus to grab onto the Skyboom Shield while Megatron is still holding it. Trying to slice Optimus away, Megatron accidentally tosses the shield into the crevice. Angry, he attempts to impale Optimus but is halted by Sparkplug.

<DIV class="thumb tright"> <DIV class=thumbinner style="WIDTH: 132px"><A class=image title=Ruffolo? href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Tinyhead.jpg"><IMG class=thumbimage height=100 alt=Ruffolo? src="Decisive Battle - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/130px-Tinyhead.jpg" width=130 border=0></A> <DIV class=thumbcaption> <DIV class=magnify><A class=internal title=Enlarge href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Tinyhead.jpg"><IMG height=11 alt="" src="Decisive Battle - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/magnify-clip.png" width=15></A></DIV>Ruffolo?</DIV></DIV></DIV> With Megatron intending to get at Optimus by slicing through Sparkplug, the Skyboom Shield activates and levitates from the crevice to protect the Autobot. The two weapons used against each other send out a bright light that Rad notes is similar to the light that reactivated all the Mini-Cons in the <A title="First Encounter" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/First_Encounter">start</A> of their Earth encounters.

The Decepticons, having lost the shield, retreat to their base again. The Autobots congratulate Smokescreen for changing the tide of battle (that is, before he was caught under a rock), and Fred hugs Carlos. <A name=Featured_characters></A> <H2><SPAN class=editsection>[<A title="Edit section: Featured characters" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Decisive_Battle&action=edit&section=2">edit</A>]</SPAN> <SPAN class=mw-headline>Featured characters</SPAN></H2> (Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

—Fred pays Blurr a dubious compliment.

"Hahaha! In your face. Hahahaha!"<BR>"Sorry, Hot Shot, but it looks like Smokescreen smoked you, but good."


—Smokescreen and Blurr, after Smokescreen successfully runs

the obstacle course "Aw, man, that creep really gives me the creeps."


—Carlos needs a thesaurus.

"We've been expecting you, Optimus."<BR>"Didn't think we'd show, did ya, ya overgrown motherboard?"


—Megatron and Hot Shot, who should really have his audio

receptors checked "Hey, where are you going?"<BR>"For a Sunday drive! What do you think, you moron?"<BR>"He's such a kidder!"


—Starscream and Cyclonus

"Lock onto shield."


—Sparkplug gives us the first words spoken by a Mini-Con.
