Synopsis
Part 1
Beachcomber and Flak chase after the eagerly speeding Skids. Their teammate soon slows down, and the group spot an escape pod nearby, which they presume is one of the other bots who fled the Cyber-City fortress when it fell and came with it to their dimension. They attempt to open it normally, but find that the hatch is locked, so Skids uses Flak to blow it open. Out from the pod emerge three Mini-Cons: Armada Dirt Boss, Armada Downshift, Armada Mirage! Dirt Boss introduces the trio, and the Autobots do the same for themselves. Skids explains the current situation and asks for their help in finding the artefact Optimus told them about, at which point Mirage realizes they're talking about them.
Part 2
Back at the fortress, Laser Optimus confronts the Terrorcons. Armada Wheeljack threatens him, but the Earthforce leader refuses to attack, as he knows the the slightest damage to Cyber-City may destroy it and everything within, including the artefact Armada Megatron desires. He also warns the Terrorcons of their leader's inevitable betrayal once he gets his hands on the Skyboom. Megatron shuts him up and orders his troops to find the weapon for him, but before anyone can go, Skids, Beachcomber, and Flak arrive with the Mini-Cons in question and tell both sides of their neutrality. Megatron, realizing he now has nothing to lose, orders his men to kill them all.
