Behold...

My "Heroes of Cyberton"

trading card collection.

Side Burn, fastest bot ever!

Metroplex...

Able to lift , tons!

Searchlight: with his , watt light beam!

Whoa!

You have so many rare cards!

Right. So look, but don't touch.

Some of 'em are really delicate.

-[loud engine noise] -Hot sh*t! Ugh!

Careful!

-Oh, hey, Powerglide! -Hmph.

You think we could ever be on collector cards like these?

I hope so, Hoist.

It's my dream that someday I'll be good enough

to be a "Hero of Cybertron."

Yeah! Look at these bots.

Equaling their skills could take a lifetime of training.

Or some of us just

might come by it naturally.

This is serious, Hot sh*t.

How will we ever measure up to these bots?

Our skills don't even come close.

Aw, you never know what you can do 'til you try, Wedge.

Maybe you've got skills you don't even know about!

Well I'll try anything! Even...

-...construction! -Ha!

No offense, Hot sh*t, but I really don't think

you have what it takes to be a construction bot.

It's as likely as you being a great cube player!

Hey, it could happen. I doubt it, but--

Well, how about we find out?

One construction challenge and one cube game!

You and me. One on one!

Huh. You know what? Let's go for it!

And the winner gets a golden trashcan!

Um, that's actually my trophy

for being last year's "King of Cube."

But hey, why not?

Wait. You'd give away your trophy?

Only if I lost. Not happening, by the way.

This is a one of a kind item.

Losing it would be like Wedge giving up his card collection!

My collection? The whole thing?

Well... Sure! Why not?

I'm not losing either.

Are you guys really doing this?

[both] Yes!

So here we are, folks!

First up is the Construction Challenge!

This looks like a tough one for an inexperienced bot

like Hot sh*t. What do you think, Medix?

Hot sh*t simply doesn't have the construction skills

to compete with a dedicated construction bot.

Right. Or, as we say here in the sports world...

[wrestler announcer voice] He's gonna get slammed!

Ok! If you're ready...

Take your places!

Aw... why did I risk my

"Heroes of Cybertron" cards?

What if I can't do this?

Come on, Hoist! Let's get this show on the road!

Ready... Set... Build!

Huh. This isn't so hard!

[engine revs]

Huh?

-[bangs] -Ow!

Awesome!

We have a winner!

What a performance!

Wedge has built that wall and won that round!

Exactly as we expected.

That puts Wedge into an early lead.

One to nothing. Keep watching, folks:

it's rooouuunnnd two!

Ha! Construction is my thing!

Sure, but I'm gonna keep on trying

cause you never know, right?

Time for the next round!

First bot to dig out his section.

Ready... Set...

Dig!

[enginge revving]

This kinda job needs a scoop.

Unless you blast gauntlets. Ha!

[whoosh]

[blast]

What?

Oh, hey, Wedge. What do ya think?

Round to Hot sh*t? I did not see that coming!

It defies all logical prediction.

It sure does, Medix, and it means we go into

the final construction round with the scores tied,

and everything to play for!

Time for round three:

knock down that wall to fill in your hole!

I got this, no one knocks down things like I do.

Guess I better try something else.

And knock 'em down!

Construction bot for the win!

Oof! Whoa.

Wedge's vehicle mode is made for that.

Hey, maybe mine is too!

What?

Giving up and flying away?

Not exactly.

[engine blasts]

Well paint my rotors and call me a pinwheel!

I never thought of using jet mode for a demolition derby!

It certainly was effective, Whirl.

That makes Hot sh*t the winner of the whole

Construction Challenge!

Hot sh*t b*at me at construction?

I don't have any other skills.

Hey, don't say that.

-Wedge, you built a great wall! -So?

I couldn't knock it down as fast as you,

and there's no way I could b*at you at cube.

You might as well just take my Heroes of Cybertron cards.

Now I know I'll never be on one.

Wedge, wait!

I can't just take your cards.

I gotta win them, fair and square.

But you're the All-Cybertron Cube Champion.

I don't even have a chance.

That's not the point! The point is

maybe you could win, but you won't know unless you try.

I don't know why you're encouraging me to b*at you.

But, you're right.

If I give up now, I know I've lost.

But if I try... I just might win.

Wedge is down but he's not out!

The challenge is back on!

It appears so, Whirl. Though if a construction bot

has ever won a cube game, I haven't heard of it.

Maybe not Medix, but if there's one thing

you can never write off,

it's a bot who just won't quit.

-Cube competitors, are you ready? -[both] Ready!

Then let the cube challenge begin!

A quick reminder for the folks at home:

The cube is charged with Energon.

Each time a player catches it, he gets an Energon boost.

And the player whose levels reach the top of this display

will be the winner.

Let's play some cube!

Let me show ya how it's done.

Yeah!

[beeping]

I can't jump around like that.

But maybe I don't have to.

Ha ha ha!

[beeping]

Sweet move!

Of course, it's nothing like this.

[grunting]

Nailed it!

Not bad, but...

there's gotta be an easier way to catch that thing, right?

Grrrrr!

-[rumbling] -Whoa! Oof!

[beeping]

This is cube like I've never seen it!

And the Energon levels are rising.

I'm just not built for this game.

Maybe not. But it's no fun playing against a quitter!

C'mon!

I can't move like that. I'm not a sports bot.

I'm a construction bot!

Sorry, buddy. Looks like today just isn't gonna be your day.

Hmm...

[engine revs]

[slow-motion] Aah!

-Got it! -Whoa! Oof!

[beeping]

What?

[laughing] Medix, this is incredible!

It certainly is a surprise, Whirl.

I b*at you at cube?

-I can't believe it! -Me either.

Probably not what you want to hear, but...

I couldn't have done it without you.

Hey, at least I was right!

If you hadn't have tried, you'd never have known!

Just like you tried and b*at me at construction.

So, how about we leave it that way.

No tie-breaker.

But that means there's no winner.

These bots did something better than winning!

Yeah, they learned a really important lesson!

To never give up on yourself, no matter what!

Here, Wedge.

I'd never have really taken your trading cards.

I know how much they mean to you.

Yeah, and you know I never would have taken your trophy.

And apparently, they also learned

to get along with each other.

Well, it's just for today, okay?

Yeah, right, totally temporary.

Oh, it can't be temporary! I've put it on your cards.

[both] Cards?

These new trading cards I've made, of the two of you.

Wait. Our very own cards? Of us?

Uh huh! Featuring your awesome new skills.

Ha! Yes!

I'm finally a Hero of Cybertron.

Well, technically, you're more of a Hero of Earth.

But that's pretty good too, right?

It is, Whirl. It sure is.
