AIRED: 12/16/85

The Decepticons are up to something and a series of thefts by the Stunticons are related. The Stunticons themselves end up biting off more than they can chew against some Autobots and get locked up. The Autobots are still in the dark about Megatron's latest plan, though, but there is a remedy from, unsurprisingly, Wheeljack. Advanced paint makes Optimus, Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe and Windcharger look exactly like each of the Stunticons. The plan is infiltrate, learn about and foil Megatron's plan. It won't be easy to pass for the Stunticons while surrounded by Decepticons, though, especially when the real ones escape Autobot captivity.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- When Optimus Prime and Motormaster go one againts the other in their vehicule mode, it´s called play "chicken", an old trick where who gets out of the oponent way is the chicken (used too in Mad Max). The consequences of this stile of game when nobody gets out the way is a very bad crash.
