Sideburn's Obsession

[sic]

Template:Episodenav The Predacons use Side Burn's appetites against him.

Detailed synopsis

It all starts with with Sideburn chasing down a weird looking red car. Prowl tries to stop them but loses them. Sideburn follows the car into a junkyard and is shocked and upset that the red car was atcully Megatron. (which brings up an interesting point, does Sideburn care about the cars gender?) The Predacons apparently know about his taste in cars and used it to trick him. Sideburn is then captured by the Predacons and is now part of their evil plan. The next day Optimus and Sideburn's brothers are all worried when he didn't check in and go out to serch for him. They are stopped by the Predacons who leave a message that if they want to see Sideburn again Optimus had to go get him alone. Optimus decides to go against the wishes of his soldiers who know it's a trap. Meanwhile Koji is with his friend and friend's father at a car crushing facility. The Predacons attack and order them to leave. As they run, Koji spots Sideburn as their prisoner and stays to see if he can help. Inside the Predacons tell Sideburn their plot. They were going to use Sideburn to lure Optimus into a trap and then hand him over to Megatron. Back at the base Prowl and X-Brawn convince TAI to send the Spychangers to help Optimus. The two brothers decide to help out by going in disguise. Sadly it doesn't seems that Prowl hasn't any imagination (he's wearing a NO ENTRY bib and holding a NO ENTRY sign while asking his brother to guess who he was) and X-Brawn tells him that it was the dumbest disguise he had ever seen. Thankfully X-Brawn had imagination but no taste, he and Prowl were in vehicle mode but covered in goofy looking paint jobs. Meanwhile the Predacons are curious as to why Sideburn is into red sport cars. Sideburn then tells a woeful tale when he was a classic blue sports car and how he met a classic red sports car, but after a tragic accident Sideburn was left all alone. Now the Predacons are all feeling sorry for him, including the part when Sideburn was just a tricycle and how he met a red tricycle. Of corse Skybite reminds them that Sideburn was from Cybertron and was never a classic blue sports car or a tricycle. Optimus finally arrives and, even though Sideburn tried to warn him, is captured in Energon ropes. Outside, Prowl and X-Brawn arrive and witness Megatron arriving. Thankfully he doesn't notice them and goes inside the building. Inside, Skybite hands over Optimus in which Megatron uses this moment to use the helpless Autobot leader as a punching bag. (that's low, even for you Megatron!!) Outside Prowl and X-Brawn needed a plan to help their brother and leader. They spot Koji and contact him through his phone. Prowl asks him to switch on the magnectic machine so he could get into the building unnoticed. As the machine lifts him into the air the Predacons all agree that Prowl was one ugly car. As Prowl lands on the convyer belt he transforms and blast the machine which powered the Energon ropes freeing Optimus and Sideburn. The Spychangers suddenly show up and Optimus and Sideburn decide that it's time for payback. After defeating the Predacons Sideburn apoligises and said he'll never chase a red sports car again. Sadly the moment he promises this a red sports car wizzes by and he tails it scraming that he thinks his in love.
