The Autobots detect a desert Mini-Con.
Synopsis
Following up on an old tale, the Decepticons have arrived in the Sahara Desert to attempt to locate a Mini-Con. Demolishor fires on a passing helicopter which turns out to be an indignant Cyclonus, who reports no success in locating the Mini-Con. After complaining about the ubiquitous sand, Cyclonus takes off again, the wash from his rotors covering Demolishor with sand. The tank Decepticon is further put out when the ground begins falling away.
The Mini-Con alarm also sends the Autobots with their three young human friends to the desert, where Hot Shot immediately discovers that his tires don't get much in the way of traction. They prepare to search the desert on foot, but before they get the chance, Demolishor fires on them. While the kids and their Mini-Cons scatter, the Autobots take cover and attempt to locate the source of the weapons fire. Hot Shot combines with Jolt to attempt to return fire, and is almost blasted but Optimus knocks him out of the way.
Alexis spots Demolishor, but before the three kids can execute a diversion, the panicked Decepticon begins sinking into the sand. As Rad shouts a warning, Carlos also falls into the growing hole and is grabbed by Grindor. Demolishor calls out to Megatron as he disappears beneath the sand and, up on the Moon, Starscream reports the SOS to their leader. The kids all begin sinking into the pit and Rad releases Laserbeak to fetch help.
Meanwhile the Autobots have realised that the kids are missing, and begin looking. They quickly locate Laserbeak in the sand but their search is interrupted by the arrival of Megatron, Cyclonus and Starscream.
The kids recover to find themselves in a ruined palace in a cavern beneath the desert. They explore in the hopes of finding a way out, and find the Mini-Con symbol carved into a ceiling. After a discussion on what it might mean, Alexis warns the others to watch out for Decepticons, who'll be hunting for the Mini-Con as well.
Topside, the Autobots and Decepticons fight. Megatron enquires what they've done with Demolishor, but Optimus naturally doesn't know.
In the ruin, Carlos sees a glowing eye symbol appearing on the wall and believes he's seeing things. He joins his friends only to realise that there are a couple dozen glowing red eye symbols floating in the air ahead of them. Demolisher is not far from them and, hearing their cries, begins breaking through walls to find them. He soon locates the three kids and their Mini-Cons, and is promptly attacked by the mechanical spiders which have been menacing the group.
Above ground, the battle still rages on. Megatron wonders again where Demolishor's gotten to.
The kids stumble on a large statue-lined chamber, at the end of which is the Mini-Con storage panel they've been searching for. After admiring the sight for some time, Carlos steps forward and triggers a trap and Rad has to save him from a huge falling boulder. Demolishor turns up, having disposed of the mechanical spiders, and heads for the Mini-Con panel as well. As the kids move to block him, the floor begins caving in, cutting them off from both Decepticon and Mini-Con. Demolishor manages to cling to the side, climbing back up and running along the floor as it collapses behind him. To add to his troubles, the statues begin firing energy pulses at him as well. The three Street Action Mini-Cons combine into Perceptor in order to save Rad and Carlos from another falling boulder. Finally Demolisher is able to grab the Mini-Con and begins making for the surface in tank mode.
Up above, the warring Transformers are startled when the ground begins falling away. Demolishor climbs out of the growing pit to report success in obtaining the Mini-Con. As Hot Shot jumps into the pit, Demolishor activates the new Mini-Con, Bonecrusher, and begins firing on the Autobots. Megatron orders a withdrawal as they've obtained the Mini-Con and the Decepticons teleport away. Hot Shot soon emerges from the sand carrying Perceptor and the three kids.
Back on the Moon, Megatron demands Demolishor turn over the Mini-Con, much to the Decepticon's dismay.

Quotes
"I tell ya, I got sand in my mouth, sand in my joints; I even have sand in places I'd rather not mention, but no Mini-"
"Well, keep looking!"
- —Cyclonus and Demolishor hate sand.
"You think any mole-like dudes live down here?"
"Boy, Carlos, with your imagination, you should write comic books. You are one strange guy."
- —Carlos and Rad explore the ruined palace.
"Hey you, what did you do with the kids?"
"I ate them. And they were quite tasty, too."
- —Hot Shot talks about the kids, but Demolishor is only concerned with food.
"But that isn't fair, sir!"
"Not fair? Why I'll show you what's not fair."
"Well, actually sir, you really don't have to."
"No no no, really, I insist. I said I was going to show you what's not fair and so I shall show you what's not fair. Why don't you come a little closer, Demolisher, so I can give you a hands-on demonstration, yesss."
- —Demolisher and Megatron.
Other Notes
Animation/technical errors
- Hot Shot calls Jolt "Grindor".
Transformers references
- Ruins under the Sahara Desert were also seen in the Robots in Disguise episode "Peril from the Past".
- David Kaye was able to fit a nice long "yes" into the dialogue, a staple from his earlier Megatron.
Real world references
- Carlos makes a reference to Harrison Ford in relation to archaeology.
