  • Speed Is of the Essence
When Turbo is discovered by Cy-Kill trying to foil his plans to terrorize the Earth by cutting all electrical power Cy-Kill sends Crasher, Tank, and Screwhead to make sure that Turbo doesn't doesn't survive long enough to alert Leader-1. Turbo is injured by a well placed booby trap but he gives Crasher a long chase ending up in an autowrecking yard.

Both Leader-1 and Scooter have been scanning for hours trying to locate Turbo but they can't find him. Leader-1 sends Scooter, Small Foot, and Vanguard to try and find him.

Meanwhile two boys, Gregg and Dan, are trying to find a car that they can use to win a car race. They find Turbo in the back of an old big rig trailer and take him back to their house. When the two boys discover that their car doesn't have any spark plugs they remove a part from underneath Turbo's hood which causes a self-repair program to start. Gregg feels uneasy about the car thinking that there's "something weird" about it.

Meanwhile Scooter, Small Foot, and Vanguard are tracking down Turbo. Scooter is certain that he sees Turbo's tire treads in the ground near the autowrecking yard and the tread pattern seems to indicate that Turbo left in a hurry. Vangaurd notices a strange antannae poking out from a mountain top. Vanguard tells Small Foot and Scooter to keep looking for Turbo while he investigates the mountain top.

Crasher tells Cy-Kill a tall tale about how she destroyed Turbo by letting him choke on his own exhaust but when Snoop discovers Turbo on a racetrack she reports back to Cy-Kill. Cy-Kill becomes infurriated and yells for Crasher. Crasher comes back into the room and Cy-Kill tells her to destroy Turbo now! Crasher was sure that she already had destroyed Turbo but Cy-Kill indicates to her that she failed in that mission so he astrobeams Slicks and Spoiler to make sure that she does the job right.

Scooter and Small Foot are still tracking down Turbo when Scooter discovers more of Turbo's tire treads. Scooter notices that the tire treads are a bit deeper than the ones that they found at the autowrecking yard indicating that Turbo may be carrying human passangers. A strange fog lights up the night sky. The two Guardians find Turbo and report back to Leader-1. Leader-1 then tells Scooter and Small Foot to help Turbo out before he heads out to find Vanguard. Small Foot decides that she's going to get into the race and asks Scooter if he wants to join her? But Scooter opts to sit this one out.

Meanwhile Crasher, Spoiler, and Slicks are going to get into the race and make sure Turbo doesn't finish. They transform and speed out on to the race track. Crasher runs up behind Turbo with Slicks and Spoiler forming a two bot blockade to make sure he doesn't finish the race but Turbo decides to turn around and play chicken with Crasher. "Fancy running into you Turbo!"

Doppelganger

Thu, Oct 10, 1985
Cy-Kill has Snoop fly overtop of Leader-1 and record his movements and voice. Snoop has also recorded the rest of the Guardians in an elaborate plan to replace all of them with almost exact doubles of them.

After Crasher almost destroys Small Foot in a demolition derby style race Leader-1 begins to wonder if Small Foot's impulsive nature would further put herself and the other Guardians at risk. Leader-1 decides to keep Small Foot off of active duty until he decides for himself if she's really ready to be an active Guardian.

It isn't until a series of unusual events come up that A.J., Nick, Matt, and even Scooter begin to doubt that Small Foot is who she says she is until she shoots at the dummy Turbo. Scooter interrorgates the Turbo dummy and finds out that Cy-Kill is behind the Guardian's strange behaviours. Scooter, Small Foot, Matt, Nick, and A.J. set out on a rescue mission to find the other Guardians before irreversible damage is done to them.

Scooter and Small Foot hatch an elaborate plan to rescue Leader-1 and the others with Scooter's holoprojector and a reprogrammed Turbo dummy they best Dr Go, and rescue the other Guardians but then Cy-Kill reveals that there's a nasty little side affect from the disrupter bolts that were placed on the other Guardians....They wouldn't be able to transform or use their weapons for quite a while.

Scooter and Small Foot get the others inside the Command Center while Cy-Kill sends his doppelgangers to attack the ship. Turbo feels helpless being unable to transform or help Scooter and Small Foot but Leader-1 tells him not to worry that Scooter and Small Foot can take care of themselves until they're better.

The rest of the Guardians then are healed enough so that they can join Scooter and Small Foot in destroying the Doppelganger Guardians. Cy-Kill runs away and vows revenge on the Guardians.

On board their ship Leader-1 appologizes to Small Foot for doubting her and allows her to return to active duty. Small Foot is elated that she has regained Leader-1's trust as an active Guardian.
