When the Hot Rod Patrol, led by Countdown, showed up at the Decepticon base to rescue some imprisoned Micromasters, the Sports Car Patrol fought them again. While Roller Force initially didn't mind Skystalker's master plan to rid Cybertron of the "guzzlers" by pitting them against each other until their fuel ran out, he and the others were convinced by Countdown that Skystalker was a ruthless jerk who would just as happily rid Cybertron of them when it became convenient. They subsequently helped put a stop to the plan by interrupting a major battle between the Autobot and Decepticon guzzlers. Victims of the Revolution
