When the Autobots perform a race for charity, the Decepticons take the opportunity to trap them in their vehicle modes.
Tropes
- Face Death with Dignity: Ironhide's response as the Constructicons roll him away to be crushed to death is surprisingly calm.Ironhide: Later, guys. It's been really great knowin' ya.
- I Warned You: After Optimus and the other Autobots are captured, Huffer doesn't hesitate to rub in that he was right not to race. Brawn immediately shuts him, too.Huffer: I knew the racing bit was bad news, but would anybody listen to me? Oh, noooo!Brawn: (grabs Huffer) Stifle it, Huffer, or I'll put my footio in your audio!
- Series Continuity Error: While this is pretty much a given in any G1 episode with several logic and continuity hiccups, this one features a rather infamous one where, thanks to Mihahn being lazy and tracing the bots off the model sheets(seemly at random), Shockwave is part of the Decepticon troops Megatron leads on this episode
◊ (he should be busy guarding the Cybertron space bridge during the time of this episode). - Shapeshifter Mode Lock: The main premise of the episode is Megatron inventing a device that transfixes Transformers in their vehicle modes.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The transfixed Constructicons aren't shown retreating with the other Decepticons.
