List of Transformers: Armada episodes (Season 2)
The following is the Part 2 of a list of episodes in the Transformers series, Transformers: Armada. Here is the sequel of the Unicron Trilogy. The good Autobots continue to race against the evil Decepticons to find the little robots — Mini-Cons. Now they struggle for gaining possession of the the Mini-Cons which can link up to the two formidable weapons - the Star Saber and theSkyboom Shield.

14. Overmatch
Demolishor, Starscream and Cyclonus search for a Mini-con panel among the high rocks. While Starscream tries to get it, Hot Shot appears, armed with the Star Saber. He attacks the 'Cons and wounds them all. The Decepticons are forced to warp out. Hot Shot is proud of his victory very much. Optimus Prime warns him that it is no time to relax yet, but Hot Shot declares over-confidently that the Star Saber will soon put an end to the war.

In the Decepticon headquarters everyone is in low spirits. Megatron states that it is necessary to warp in to the A-Base again and to seize the Star Saber, but Demolishor objects against this plan because it is mortally dangerous. Starscream says nothing, for he is too busy with the repairing his own hand. Unexpectedly an unknown Transformer makes his appearance. His name is Scavenger, and he is an over-mighty and skilful warrior. Megatron invites Scavenger to join up with his group and promises to reward him handsomely if he helpes him to obtain the Star Saber. The other 'Cons are dissatisfied with Megatron's new «happy find». Starscream is especially discontented. He feels humiliated by Scavenger who refused to fight him because of his sore hand. But the Decepticons have to obey to their Lord, after all.

The next scene takes place on the Earth where the Autobots and Decepticons close for fighting. Scavenger watches the happening. Hot Shot is armed with the Star Saber, as usual. He brings down Cyclonus with one stroke, and Demolisher doesn't dare to attack him at all. Then Starscream challenges Hot Shot to a duel. Scavenger observes that it will be a fine performance. Starscream succeedes in wounding Hot Shot in the face, but the 'Bot cuts his wing-sword in two by the Star Saber. Starscream yells that the duel is not over yet. But Scavenger prevents them to go on with fighting. He says that Hot Shot's victory is that of the Star Saber only. Hot Shot is beside himself with rage. He attacks Scavenger but that one beats off his attack easily, so that the 'Bot drops the Star Saber. Megatron rushes in to seize the weapon but Optimus Prime is on his way. Just in this moment Cyclonus reports to Megatron that he had found a new Mini-con. The Decepticon leader finds it a suitable pretext for the warping out.

On the D-Base Scavenger informs the Decepticons that the Mini-Con they've just found is a part of the Skyboom Shield that can block even the Star Saber.

15. Gale
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 askes 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 askes his name. The new acquaintance tells that on the Cybertron they call him Sideways and that he is a tramp. Then the Autobot insignia 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.

16. Credulous
Hot Shot and Sideways are the best friends now. Sideways incites Hot Shot to rout the 'Cons on their own Base on the Moon and promises that he will get a chance to do this quite soon. And, unfortunately for Hot Shot, he proves to be right…

The Autobots and Decepticons fight for a new Mini-Con. Megatron and his soldiers retreat. Hot Shot and Sideways pursue them and overtake them in a canyon. They attack Megatron. By accident, they both are warped back to the D-Base with him. A short time after the Autobots hear about it. The boys are fully confident that Hot Shot will win again easily, though Alexis has a presentiment of danger. But in reality everything is quite not so simple. The 'Cons succeed in entraping the 'Bots, and Sideways is captured by Megatron. The Lord of the Decepticons demands Hot Shot to give him the the Star Saber in exchange for Sideways' life. Hot Shot readily sacrifices his formidable weapon to save his friend. But when he understands that Megatron has no intention to spare them, he summons the Air Defense Team to his aid. Starscream, being possessed by the wish to receive the Star Saber, rushes in to fight Hot Shot. He is a grave adversary but Hot Shot succeedes in disarming him. Just in this moment Sideways disarmes Hot Shot himself and reveals his allegiance to the Decepticons. Hot Shot is in despair and curses his own credulity, but it is too late. Megatron orders to his guys to give the 'Bot the «warmest reception». However, Scavenger doesn't allow the 'Cons to kill Hot Shot so that he returns to the A-Base alive at last. But the Star Saber is now in Starscream's hands. The conceited «jet» considers himself the mightiest Decepticon in the Universe now (much to Megatron's displeasure)…

17. Conspiracy
The Autobots lose one battle after the other since the Decepticons possess the Star Saber. Hot Shot is very sad because of the treason of Sideways and the loss of the wonderful weapon. The kids try to cheer him up, and they succeed in doing this at last. Also he is bursting with a desire to revenge himself on Sideways and Scavenger whom he considers his worst enemies.

The Decepticons have their own problems, too. Megatron highly covetes for obtaining the Star Saber. But even he doesn't dare to take it away from Starscream by force. So he invents a plan how to seize the Star Saber by trickery.

One day both the Autobots and Decepticons head out to find a new Mini-Con. It is located in a foggy woodland. All the «Mini-Con hunters» wander over the whole forest. Nobody sees each other till runs into him face to face. It plays into Megatron's hand, and he begins to carry out his plan.

Starscream stomps through the wood with the Air Defense Team accompanying him. He gives himself up to sweeet dreams of becoming a new mighty leader of the Decepticons one day. Suddenly somebody fires at him. He rushes in to destroy the unknown enemy with the Star Saber in his hand and suddenly comes across Demolisher and Megatron. Megatron seems to be seriously wounded. Starscream tries to explain them that he pursued an enemy firing at him but nobody believes him. The 'Cons accuse Starscream of attacking his own comrades and demand him to give the Star Saber to Megatron. Starscream is forced to submit to them in order to escape a harsh treatment. So Megatron gets the Star Saber at last. Only Scavenger understands that it was a put-up job of Megatron himself and his Mini-Con partner.

As for Hot Shot, he comes across Sideways in the forest. While pursuing him the young 'Bot runs into Scavenger and challenges him to fighting. But Scavenger repels his attacks easily and tells that Hot Shot needs to perceive himself before to defeat the enemy. Then he goes away. Hot Shot follows his advice and succeedes in winning a victory over Sideways.

Meanwhile the Decepticons with the aid of Scavenger get the Second Mini-Con for the Skyboom Shield. After that Scavenger leaves the D-Base. He heads to the Autobot base where Optimus reveals he was spying on the Decepticons and means no harm.

18. Trust
The Autobots, being learned from their recent bitter experience, are not very friendly disposed towards Scavenger. Smokeskreen considers him a traitor and even doesn't disguise his feelings. So do the kids, too, especially Carlos. The Decepticons, in their turn, hope that Scavenger will spy on the Autobots.

Scavenger is training Hot Shot when the alarm sounds for a new Mini-Con which is located somewhere in the snow-covered mountains. All the 'Bots arrive there and see the Decepticons waiting for them. A battle ensues. Megatron and Optimus Prime start a hand-to-hand fighting. While battling they are nearing the brink of a precipice. The Autobots call Scavenger for help, but he disappears, and nobody knows where he is. Smokescreen swears he's abandoned them, but Hot Shot refuses to believe in this because Scavenger is his teacher.

The children watch the battle on the monitor in the Autobot headquarters. Suddenly they notice Scavenger on the opposite side of the gulf. Carlos expresses his misgivings that this position is the best for a treacherous blow. Meanwhile both Megatron and Optimus Prime fall in the precipice. Then Scavenger shows up to save Optimus Prime, whereas Megatron falls at the bottom of the gulf. He is alive but heavily damaged. Red Alert tells to the kids that Optimus and Scavenger are old friends and that Scavenger is the most reliable of the Autobots. Smokescreen begs Scavenger's pardon for thinking badly about him.

Sideways drags Megatron out of the gulf. The Lord of the Decepticons vows to return and to take revenge on Optimus Prime.

19. Vacation
Rad, Carlos, Billy and Fred take Smokescreen, Red Alert and the Mini-cons to a vacation site. But they forget to invite Alexis to this tour, and she is offended with them very much.

The boys and robots have a good time on the bank of a mountain river. They play in a water with their new little friend which name is Shawn. But soon the river floodes on account of the heavy shower. The landslide begins and buries Red Alert together with Carlos and Shawn. Smokescreen does his best to dig them out. Optimus Prime, Scavenger and Hot Shot rush to his help through the warp gate. They succeed in saving Red Alert and the boys.

All the company returns back to the A-Base. Well, their vacation turned out to be anything that but restful! But Alexis isn't angry with her friends already. She is very glad to see them all again.s his best to dig them out. Optimus Prime, Scavenger and Hot Shot rush to his help through the warp gate. They succeed in saving Red Alert and the boys.

All the company returns back to the A-Base. Well, their vacation turned out to be anything that but restful! But Alexis isn't angry with her friends already. She is very glad to see them all again.

20. Reinforcement
As the two sides fight for the latest Mini-con, Autobot Blurr arrives and claims the Mini-con for his own by shooting it out of Demolisher's hands. He turns out to be a real snob and quickly he and Hot Shot get off to a bad start. The third Mini-con of the Skyboom Shield, being Downshift, activates and searches for his mates. Blurr and Hot Shot are both sent to get it but loose it to the Decepticons due to tension between the two. In the end though they gain a friendship.

21. Decisive Battle
Megatron stops a meteor with the Skyboom Shield, then challenges the Autobots to a battle. Optimus Prime ends up face to face with the Star Saber, but Sparkplug uses the Skyboom shield to save him.

22. Vow
This episode starts with recap of the previous battle; Optimus Prime and Sparkplug are saved by the Skyboom Shield. Next, Hotshot and Blurr are denying the kids access to the base, telling them that until they learn about the power of the Skyboom Shield the kids should stay away for their own safety. The Street-Action Mini-con team gets the same response. On their way home, SureShock intercepts a message from the Decepticon Mini-cons, asking for peace. Rad and Fred race back to tell the Autobots while the others head out, only to find that the information is less than welcome. The Decepticons are behind the whole set up, hoping to use a series of warp gates to get Prime on his own. When the team arrives at the meeting spot,they see a brief view of the Mini-cons before they disappear. Fred and Rad rush in only to get warped themselves, along with a few of the 'Bots. Eventually, though, it's only them and Optimus, who in between warps tells them that the Mini-cons look up to Megatron, like a father figure. at the last warp, they meet Megatron who orders his Minis' to attack. The boys manage to convince Optimus that it's only because of Megatron that they attack, so he doesn't return fire. In the end, the Mini-cons defy Megatron to save Optimus, proving that they just want peace.

23. Rebellion
Megatron is in the great fury about the loss of their last battle. He wishes to wreak his anger on somebody, and Starscream runs into a squall. Megatron gives the airborne Decepticon a good thrashing and almost kills him but for Demolishor who smashes through the doors of the Base and appears just in the time to stop Megatron and to intercede for Starscream. Feeling cruelly and unjustly humiliated, Starscream then challenges his leader to a duel for command over the Decepticons after Sideways had lied to manipulate both of them. Megatron wins promptly, but decides to spare Starscream's life. Sideways views this as a huge weakness to be exploited.

24. Chase
When Carlos and rad are talking to Alexis her laptop is infected by Sideways. All three of them try to terminate him and end up getting sucked into cyber-space. While drifting through the holograms of planets they are pulled toward a hologram of Cybertron. Sideways then appears and kidnaps Sureshock, Alexis then finds out Sideways didn't create the cyber world they're in and his attacks are rendered useless, Sideways starts apologizing to what appwears to be an evil force even stronger than Megatron. They escape while being chased by a jawed planet with two horns and rings.

25. Tactician
After the failure of just another attempt to get a Mini-Con, the Decepticons quarrel with each other when finding out whose fault it is. Suddenly somebody invisible meddles in their squabble. The 'Cons are surprised very much, but Megatron welcomes the newcomer and calls him his «dear friend». This is a new Transformer. His name is Thrust, and he is the Decepticon's best tactician. He arrives on the scene just in time to help Megatron and company with a cunning plan to ambush the Autobots and get Optimus Prime on his own. Megatron begins to carry out this plan immediately.

The Autobots locate a signal of a Mini-Con. It comes from the deep and narrow canyon. They move towards this place. But it appears that it is a trap. The Decepticons fire on them from the ground and from the air. Optimus Prime and Megatron fight each other, while the 'Cons draw Smokescreen and Scavenger preventing them from sending the Skyboom Shield to Optimus. Optimus Prime is in the great danger. Things are looking really bad, until a spaceship rushes in to the battlefield. He transforms in a huge robot and attacks the Decepticons in the air. When Starscream askes his name, he answers: 'You can call me Jetfire, the second command of the Autobots.' The appearance of Jetfire turns the course of the battle in favour of the Autobots. The Thrust's plan is ruined, and the 'Cons warp out to their Base.

26. Linkup
Optimus Prime is severely wounded during the last battle, and he is in a bad state. Red Alert repairs him. Jetfire is now acting commander of the Autobots. When he says that there is nothing to worry about until he's here, the kids suspect him to be somewhat a boaster. Meanwhile on the D-Base Thrust promises to Megatron to work out a new plan of the battle. He is sure that now the Decepticons will defeat the Autobots without fail. The Autobots, too, know Thrust as an extremely skilful tactician whose advices often helped the Decepticons to win. But Jetfire thoughtlessly considers himself to be capable of gaining the upper hand of the 'Cons easily.

The Minis inform the 'Bots about a plane circling above the A-Base for some time. This is Thrust himself. Jetfire dashes alone to fight him. But Thrust lures him in an ambush. The Decepticon plane Minis encircle Jetfire and fire on him. Then Starscream attacks him, too. The Autobots understand that their comrade is in danger. Hot Shot, Smokescreen and Blurr warp out to a little island near the battleplace with the purpose of aiding Jetfire. But just after their arriving on the island they are faced with the 'Cons waiting for them. Now only Optimus Prime can help them. And the brave leader of the 'Bots heads out for his soldiers though the kids pray him to stay on the A-Base. Optimus appears on the sky battlefield just in the moment when Starscream prepares to strike a mortal blow to Jetfire. Optimus Prime and Jetfire link up each other and form a new immense over-powerful robot Jet Optimus. Jet Optimus brings Starscream down and throws Megatron and Demolisher into the sea. So the Thrust's plan is a complete flop again.

Optimus Prime advices Jetfire to behave more warily in the future only to hear his answer that there is nothing to worry about until he's here. Well, that guy is hopeless, indeed!
