Airmaster thinks he's rescued Choppermaster, but in truth, he's just led Dozermaster right to the Autobot base.
Synopsis
Choppermaster awakens in the Autobot base to the sight of his old team-mate, Airmaster. Missing in action when he was washed away in an avalanche while battling Rollermaster, Choppermaster has been found thanks to Airmaster's Targetmaster partner Deduce, who used his probability assessment abilities to home in on the signature of Choppermaster's incendiary gel. Unfortunately, Choppermaster is not the only thing Airmaster has brought back to base: in his cheerful optimism at having found his friend, he has overlooked a homing beacon the Decepticons planted on Choppermaster's body, which leads the destructive Dozermaster straight to their headquarters. Smashing into the base with the aid of his partner Groundbreak, Dozermaster demands the Autobots hand over their new Construction Drones, or he will detonate a bomb hidden inside the beacon. Tired of the endless fighting, Airmaster announces it his his sole duty to safeguard the lives of his friends...

Notes
- The story contains no major hints as to the true identities of Airmaster and Dozermaster, with their bios doing most of the work: they are Choppermaster's former Micromaster Air Patrol team-mate Sky High and raging Auto Roller Roadblock, respectively.
- Sky High's depiction as a risk-blind optimist is based on the characterization he received in his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile.
- Like Rapido/Racemaster before him, Roadbloack has never appeared in Japanese continuity before now (his toy was not released in Japan until Beast Wars II, as the separate character of Autocrasher), and he appears here at a point in time chronologically before his franchise of origin, Generation 2.
- Both Deduce and Groundbreak are named in homage to Mini-Con collector par excellence, Greg Black: Groundbreak's initials are "G.B.", and Deduce is named in reference to Black's screen-name, "Mrduce".
