The duo acted as announcers and referees for a series of tournament fights between (mostly) two-man teams from across the Energon conflict, including digital clones of the deceased and the previous bodies of characters who had been upgraded.
Nekomimi B seemed to be infatuated with Hot Shot, calling him "dreamy" twice. Unlike Nekomimi B, Nekomimi A thought Hot Shot was "scrawny" and had her sights set on Galvatron. However, perhaps changing her mind after witnessing Galvatron's brutal takedown of Demolishor and Snow Cat, she joined Nekomimi B in calling Hot Shot "dreamy" near the end of the tournament.
Following Hot Shot and Rodimus's victory by ring-out against Optimus Supreme in the final round, Nekomimi A and Nekomimi B presented the winning team with trophies—shortly before they announced that Hot Shot and Rodimus would now take on the "special guest fighter", a pint-sized virtual incarnation of Unicron. As this last battle commenced, the two announcers wished the audience goodbye.
Some time after the tournament, Six Shot was seen reading a humorous, Transformer-sized comic book featuring the two of them. Whether this means they are fictional or simply have a Cybertronian licensing deal is anyone's guess.
