Deep Trouble!
Synopsis
Rad, Carlos, and Alexis are racing around the desert on the Street Action Team when they suddenly run into Optimus Prime, who reminds them that they're in a war, not a game. The humans and Mini-Cons get serious, and make their way into the Mini-Con ship to investigate what Carlos found earlier. Sureshock explains that it must be the ship's locator log, which contains tracking codes to the rest of the Mini-Cons on Earth. They're interrupted when Demolishor suddenly breaks through the wall in search of the log. He is briefly confused by the presence of Mini-Cons, but deals with them all the same.
Grindor is pinned under falling rocks, and urges Rad to destroy the log to keep it out of Megatron's hands. However, Rad figures that Demolishor might take it out on them if they did so, and works out another plan. He baits the Decepticon into following him, and plants the locator log in a part of the cave with unstable rock. When Demolishor drives by, the log explodes, and the Decepticon is caught in the ensuing rockfall.

Just a Memory!
Synopsis
At Lincoln High School, Alexis can't shake the feeling that she's being watched... which is because the Street Action Team are present and hiding on the school grounds. High Wire watches as Billy and Fred play a prank on Rad in chemistry class, and is reminded of a time when he developed a cleaner way of processing waste fuel back on Cybertron. He then knocks out the two troublemakers and takes off with Rad.
Meanwhile, at the local mall, Grindor bears witness to Carlos skateboarding with his pals. He recalls that on Cybertron, extraordinary feats were appreciated, and decides to help his human friend show off. However, Carlos is not happy about having to explain the crazy looping and grinding that Grindor puts him through.
Rad and Carlos meet up with Alexis, who explains that Sureshock just downloaded so much data into the local observatory's mainframe that it crashed. Sureshock adds that she, like the High Wire and Grindor, was only trying to help. Rad tells the Mini-Cons that they still have a lot to learn about Earth customs, but that he's there to guide them.
