Scooter Enhanced

Thu, Oct 24, 1985

During a battle with Crasher on earth Scooter's holo-projection unit is damaged. Back on Gobotron Scooter is being repaired by the Gaurdian elder Zeemon who tells him that he shouldn't fight until his holo-projection unit is repaired. Meanwhile back at the command center Leader-1 receives a distress call from Matt Hunter who relays that Screw Head is attacking the base that he is in charge of. Scooter and Small Foot both plead with Leader-1 to take them with him but he declines and he and Turbo leave Scooter and Small Foot in charge of the command center while they go out to investigate. Cy-Kill takes advantage of the fact that only Scooter and Small Foot are inside the Command Center. In a freak accident Scooter tries to defend himself and Small Foot by blindly shooting at Cy-Kill and Crasher but they duck and Scooter hits the communications panel. Knowing that they no longer have to go through the trouble of destroying the command center's communications panel Cy-Kill soon raids the command center and captures Small Foot. Cy-Kill and the renegades are after the Gaurdian's power suits which are being held in containment field. Being kept in a holding cell Scooter realizes that the power surge problems that the command center has been having can be used to his advantage. He shoots at an arbitrary spot in his holding cell which causes the bars on his cell to collapse. Meanwhile Cy-Kill is viciously interrogating Small Foot trying to get her to open the containment field that the power suits are but Small Foot says that she doesn't know how to open the containment field. At the same time the door on the containment field which holds the power suits collapses under the same pressure. Cy-Kill then calls his minions back to the command center to "try on their new suits." Leader-1 then figures out that he and Turbo had been sent on a fool's errand which prompts him to try and communicate back to Scooter and Small Foot but the communications are down and in the midst of all the chaos Leader-1 realizes that Cy-Kill has moved in on the command center. Scooter sees Cy-Kill heading for their power suits and he knows that if he shoots at Cy-Kill blindly that there's a chance he might hit Small Foot so he rescues Small Foot by throwing his voice to sound like Leader-1. Cy-Kill is startled to hear Leader-1's voice and in his startled state Small Foot zaps him in the chest which causes him to drop her. Small Foot transforms and she and Scooter take off running. Next Scooter and Small Foot encounter Crasher and he throws his voice to sound like Cy-Kill which causes Crasher to move in the opposite direction. Small Foot giggles and she and Scooter move on. Small Foot and Scooter find themselves almost at freedom from the Renegades only to find that they are hopelessly out numbered but Leader-1 soon steps into the picture, which Cy-Kill believes at first is Scooter throwing his voice again, and Leader-1 and Turbo step into the action and try to trap the Renegades inside the Command Center. Cy-Kill wails that he almost had the power suits but he failed to retrieve them. Scooter returns to the Command Center in good spirits because his holo-projetion unit has now been repaired and he's back to his old self. Leader-1 then reminds him that he still has to fix that power surge problem. Scooter then takes off with Small Foot to repair the problem.

The Fall of Gobotron: Part 3

Wed, Nov 13, 1985

Small Foot is left severely damaged in the carnage that is left behind by the Master Renegade. The Master Renegade warns that any attempts to come closer to himself and Small Foot will result in Small Foot's infinite demise. Small Foot slowly gets up and asks Leader-1 and the others not to be concerned about her and encourages them to fight on. The Master Renegade and Crasher are set to take off in the Gaurdian's Command Center but Turbo has other ideas and causes a jolt that sends Crasher and the Master Renegade flying out the door while Small Foot escapes. Leader-1 holds an emergency caucus of the Guardian Council and explains the situation with the others. "He turned out to be WHO?"? "The Master Renegade. The leader of the ancient rebellion which destroyed the Gobanes." "What should we do?"? "Now he's on Cy-Kill's side." "Gobotron is doomed!" "Guardians we must go to stage six Renegade alert immediately." Meanwhile back on Gobotron Matt asks Rest-Q for an update on Small Foot's condition. Rest-Q says that mechanically there's nothing wrong with her but upon closer inspection he discovers that Small Foot's transforming circuits are completely gone like she never went through the modifier at all. A.J. asks Rest-Q to explain what the modifier is? Rest-Q explains that Small Foot had already been put through a machine that gave her the ability to transform. In fact all Guardians go through the modifier before they can become full fledged Guardians. When asked if he could put Small Foot through the modifier again Rest-Q explains that such a feat has never been done before but for now Rest-Q doesn't know what else he can do for Small Foot. Cy-Kill is equipping Rouge Star with all of the Master Renegade's weapons. To him it's a glorious sight because now he can conquer Gobotron with very little resistance. Baron Von Joy and Rest-Q hope for the best as they put Small Foot through the modifier for a second time with A.J. Foster and Nick Burns looking on. Baron Von Joy explains that his lab has many modifiers and that the one that they're at is programmed for earth type vehicles. Rest-Q explains that if the procedure works Small Foot should come out of the other end of the modifier with her transforming capabilities completely restored. After being put through the modification procedure again Small Foot comes out of it completely dazed and confused. Baron Von Joy explains that she's been through the modifier and asks if she can transform? Small Foot transforms successfully and Matt, Nick, and A.J. cheer. Vanguard and Scratch, who are members of the Guardian Security Council, are closely monitoring Renegade activity when Rouge Star suddenly shows up in the space above Guardian Headquarters. Leader-1 comments on how Cy-Kill "didn't waste any time" in attack the Guardian HQ. Scooter comments on how big Rouge Star is. Leader-1 orders his troops to their battle stations. Matt, and the kids hitch a ride with Small Foot and ask where she's going? Small Foot explains that she has to get back to Guardian HQ and get to battle station. Path Finder and Wrong Way get to their battle stations while Night Ranger and Defendor man the gun turrets.

Episode 39

Flight to Earth: Part 4

Thu, Nov 14, 1985

The episode begins with Crasher and Fitor walking in on the Guardians just after Leader-1 was reassembled. Leader-1 tries to defend the others but finds that he's not yet strong enough to take on Crasher and Fitor. Leader-1 ends up collapsing on the floor as the others look on in horror. The Last Engineer then has one last trick up his sleeve to get everyone out safely. The room the Leader-1 and Small Foot were in was in actuality one of the Last Engineer's latest inventions his ship Courageous. He pulls a lever and everyone jumps aboard the ship. Crasher and Fitor plan not to let Leader-1 and the others escape and fly out after the Guardians in their Thruster with Tank and Cop-Tur hot on the trail. Unbeknownst to Tank and Cop-Tur Turbo has stowed away on board the Renegade Thruster and lets off a few shots at Tank which causes the ship to fire its weapons at another Thruster piloted by Fitor and Crasher which manages to knock Turbo out cold. Tank decides to put Turbo in a cell before he comes around. Sparky and Scooter are still running from Jeeper Creeper and Buggyman. It isn't until Scooter kicks an old muffler that the two cohorts are discovered. Sparky and Scooter discover a ship that's not being used and they decide to hide inside. Buggyman wants to get inside the ship and start looking for Sparky and Scooter but Jeeper Creeper has other ideas so they launch the ship that the two guardians are hiding in. Scooter then discovers that the ship is heading for Gobotron's sun. Sparky says "it happened again." Scooter then tells Sparky that she couldn't have known that the Renegades were going to launch them into oblivion. Then Sparky explains that the "wrong place wrong time" scenario always happens to her. Then Scooter and Sparky discover their salvation in a stationary Command Center but soon the pair make a horrible discovery finding Pathfinder, Rest-Q, Wrong Way, Flip Top, Good Knight, Vangaurd are all prisoners who are no doubt going to be sent to the prison moon to be disassembled. They watch helplessly as Turbo is pushed on board the Command Center. Scooter gets an idea on how to trick the two Renegades who are guarding their comrades and that's to go below decks and trick them into believing that the Command Center is going to explode. The plan works and the two Renegades are seen fleeing the ship. Scooter and Sparky head up to the control room quickly, Scooter tells her that it's only a matter of time before the two Renegade guards discover that they've been tricked, to take control of their ship and to free the prisoners. The Guardians who are prisoners all look forward in astonishment not knowing who set them free? Turbo calls out to the two Renegades only to discover that it wasn't the Renegades that set them free but it was Sparky and Scooter who set them free. Turbo and Scooter take control of the ship and flee for their lives to Earth. Screwhead is monitoring Guardian activity aboard Rougestar and thinks that it's strange that the Guardian ship is fleeing. Scooter and Turbo are trying desperately to get all of the Gobotronian refugees safely to earth. Scooter and Turbo discover just how badly in shape their ship was as they try and out-run three Renegade Thrusters. Scooter asks Turbo if they can go into hyperspace but Turbo tells Scooter that the ship doesn't have enough of its own power for them to make the leap into hyperspace. Turbo discovers an opened hyperspace gate and they just narrowly escape after the Renegades try to collapse the gate in front of them. Turbo and Scooter and relieved to have gotten through the hyperspace gate and are on their way to earth.
