Episode Description:
Hot Shot is extremely proud of his new victory over the 'Cons. The kids admire him so that he is ready to believe himself to be the most powerful Autobot in the Universe. The new Mini-con is located in a road tunnel. All the Autobots head out to find it. The boys beg Hot Shot to take them along. He agrees and jokes that they will give him a moral support. While the 'Bots drive to the tunnel the Decepticons are on the spot already. Scavenger tries to get the Mini, Megatron and Starscream watch him working. Demolisher and Cyclonus are on duty near the tunnel entrance. When they see the 'Bots coming Cyclonus cripples a track on the highway and makes a jam. The Autobots are forced to stop. At this moment a new character appears on the scene. This is a motor-cycle Transformer. He seems to side with the Autobots because he hinders Cyclonus to fire Hot Shot in the back. Then he watches Hot Shot and Scavenger engaging in battle with each other. Hot Shot wins the duel apparently but Scavenger before going away asks him derisively if he is worth something without the Star Saber. Hot Shot wants to blow off at a mysterious motor-cyclist but hears from him that he's on his side. Meanwhile the Autobots force the Decepticons to retreat again and get the Mini-con. Optimus Prime thanks the motor-transformer for his help and asks his name. The new acquaintance tells them that back on Cybertron they call him Sideways and he is a tramp. Then the Autobot emblem appears on his breast. So Sideways becomes a member of the team, but he doesn't have Rad and Alexis convinced that he's for the Autobots only.
