After leading the Cyberblazers to the Cube championship finals, Scorch made the decision to cut Rust from the team and instead headed to Earth with the aim of convincing Hot Shot to come and play in the final. He was left unimpressed by the Rescue Bot work Hot Shot was doing, questioning what the recruits got out of it when they couldn't even reveal their identities to the humans they were saving. His words convinced Hot Shot to return to Cybertron with him. Best Bots Forever Part 1

Scorch introduced Hot Shot to Mach and Glow, the rest of the Cyberblazers, and they set about practicing for the final. Though Scorch was surprised by how uncompetitive Hot Shot was being, the recruit convinced him that they needed to perfect their teamwork to be better players. The gambit paid off as they started the final, however partway through the match with the scores tied, Scorch decided to abandon the teamwork, and as a result injured himself. Apologetic, Scorch could only watch as the rest of his team managed to utilize teamwork and win the match. As they went to celebrate, Hot Shot revealed that he'd realized he didn't need the fame and was returning to Earth, and Scorch proudly watched him go. Best Bots Forever Part 2
