Synopsis

The Autobots are returning to earth after their adventure on Brobdingnag, when their 'toy rocket' space ship suddenly comes to a halt. They are captured by an alien captain named Bosch. Bosch deactivates them and intends to sell the Autobots as slaves in exchange for energon. However, Smokescreen's tube malfunctions and he remains functional, though temporarily immobilized.

Smokescreen learns that Bosch is a gambler. After demonstrating his ability to manipulate a slot machine, he takes Bosch's proposition to go to Monacus, a gambling asteroid, and win enough energon to repower Bosch's ship in exchange for the freedom of the rest of the Autobots.

Bosch and Smokescreen end up at the 'Pit of Destruction' arena of Lord Gyconi, a local swindler, where they use the Autobots as collateral for a very high-interest loan of energon chips. At a casino, Smokescreen builds up quite a stack of winnings and lets it all ride on one last bet, but one of the casino workers breaks his link with a slot machine and he loses everything. Unable to buy back his friends, Smokescreen vows that Gyconi hasn't seen the last of him.

Meanwhile, Dirge and Ramjet arrive on the planet in Astrotrain and head towards the city. They are followed by a mysterious blue Autobot.

In a local tavern, Smokescreen meets the mysterious Autobot, who introduces himself as Devcon; he's a bounty hunter searching for Decepticons.

In Gyconi's lair, Ramjet and Dirge shake down the big green frogman for a share of his profits. He invites the two Decepticon planes to stay and watch the upcoming battle in his arena: the Autobots versus the Animaliens. Before the show, Gyconi fixes the fight by giving the Autobots unstable energon which will wear off and make them defenseless.

The fight begins as Optimus Prime, under Gyconi's control, takes on an ugly red lizard animalien. At first the Autobot leader holds his own, prompting a lot of patrons to bet on him, but then his power runs out and he's overcome. Inferno is forced into the arena for the next match, but before it starts, Smokescreen fills the place with smoke and forces everyone out. Ramjet and Dirge chase him down, but he's saved by Devcon.

Gyconi and the Decepticons load up Astrotrain with energon cubes in order to make a getaway, but Smokescreen, Devcon and Bosch confront them. During a fierce firefight, Smokescreen uses his smoke again to confuse the Decepticons. They take off aboard Astrotrain and Devcon chases after them, taking Slizardo with him as a partner.

The Autobots are returned to normal and Bosch offers to take them back to earth, but only after a quick stop at casino row.

Notes

Continuity notes

• This episode follows the events of 'Child's Play'.
• This episode introduces the rather curious notion that Megatron is somehow involved in the galactic gambling trade, sending his thugs to make sure Gyconi isn't taking a cut for himself on the side. 'Sea Change' will likewise show that Megatron's interests extend well beyond Earth and Cybertron; the exploratory trip at the beginning of 'Cosmic Rust' also fits this pattern.
• Slizardo would eventually return in the season 3 episode 'Grimlock's New Brain' alongside the Skuxxoid.
• Devcon would later be featured in the Wreckers comic.
• Astrotrain refers to his ionic displacer rifle by that name.
• When Optimus gives the order to roll out, Perceptor transforms into giant microscope mode again, though we don't actually see him rolling on-screen.
• Gadgets and powers:
  • Smokescreen can deploy a cable from his wrist which lets him control machinery to some unknown extent - enough to make a slot machine come up as a winner, at least.

Real-world references

• Sheol, the name of Lord Gyconi's part of town, is a Hebrew word that means 'the grave', and is sometimes used as a synonym or euphemism for Hell.
• When an alien turns down Bosch's offer of the Autobots as collateral, saying he's 'got robots up to [his] eyeballs', he advises Bosch to go see someone named Asimov. Isaac Asimov was a science-fiction writer known for his stories about robots (duh).
• Monacus is named for the real-world sovereign state of Monaco, famous for its casino.
• Bosch shares his name with a multinational corporation known for making, among other things, automotive components. They were one of the sponsors of Don Devendorf's Electramotive Racing 280ZX, which was the inspiration for Smokescreen's alt mode. Coincidence?
• Astrotrain's line about his gun is cribbed from Al Pacino's famous 'Say hello to my little friend!' from the end of Scarface.
• Star Wars sound effects:
  • Clashing and sparking lightsabers as the energy draining tubes rise up around the Autobots.
  • Lightsaber-reflecting-Seeker-bolts as Bosch activates the tubes.
  • Millennium Falcon engine burst as Dirge and Ramjet take off after Smokescreen.
• Speaking of, this episode's got a real Return of the Jedi fetish going on:
  • The Animalians are pretty flagrantly a ripoff of the Rancor.
  • The lavender-colored aliens in Gyconi's audience are based on the alien Ree-Yees.
  • There's a Jawa doppelganger at the casino, a hooded guy with glowing yellow eyes set in an otherwise totally obscured face.
  • And of course there's a prominently featured slug-like overweight alien crime lord who likes throwing victims into his monster pit, with an excitable, jabbering lizard-like creature who speaks in garbled nonsense at his side.

Animation and technical errors

• Coloring errors:
  • When Perceptor stands up to address the rocket's issues, the dial on his lens cannon is red instead of white.
  • In the first shot of the Autobots inside the tubes, Perceptor's chest is all red, with none of its white bits.
  • When Smokescreen's tube breaks, his chest and legs are black where they should be red.
  • 'WE could clean up' - one of Smokescreen's eyes changes from blue to white as he delivers this line.
  • Smokescreen's chest is all blue when they are next seen in Gyconi's office.
  • When Smokescreen transforms after nearly running down Slizardo, his headcrest is white, the sides of his legs are gray instead of blue/red, and his leg-windows are red.

• As the Autobots walk into the lab, Prime's grill is missing its horizontal lines, Smokescreen's door and right arm are missing, and Perceptor's lens cannon is missing.
• An overhead shot shows the Autobots in a cluster. When they're inside the tubes (which rose up around them where they stood), they're side by side in a line.
• Smokescreen's waist is HUGE as he has his gun taken away while paralyzed. The same goofy proportions recur a few more times, such as when he leaves Gyconi's office the second time.
• 'You Lose' is lit up in pink in the close-up shot, but in blue in the wider shot.
• As Smokescreen stands in front of the slot machine after playing it, his waist has a line on one side without a mirrored counterpart on the other side.

• Smokescreen's wrist widget only appears when he's specifically showing it off; in all other shots of that wrist, it's missing.
• The animation of the tubes opening to release the brainwashed Autobots is just the shot of them closing played backwards — unfortunately this means that Smokescreen appears to be in one of the tubes when he shouldn't be.
• Smokescreen's forehead crest is blue instead of yellow as he exits Bosch's shuttle.
  • And again as Bosch explains to Slizardo that they've come on business.
  • And again as Smokescreen accepts Lord Gyconi's offer.
  • And again as he reacts in anger to the 1-hour deadline.
  • And again as he introduces himself to Devcon.
  • And again after he and Bosch have left the arena fight.
  • And (holy crap) again as Bosch translates Slizardo's message about Astrotrain.
  • And OMG AGAIN as Smokescreen and Devcon shelter behind a rock.
  • AND AGAIN as Smokescreen stands up for Bosch. (same shot - Perceptor's cannon is black instead of red.)
• Smokescreen's door-wings are missing as he first walks into the arena stands.
• As the Autobots are returned to their original size, shouldn't the container they were in shatter? There's no breaking sound effect. Also, Inferno's head-guard thing, and Perceptor's cannon, are both black instead of red.
• 'We have more energon chips than we'll ever need!' - said energon chips are not lit up to glow, appearing black instead.
  • Several stray chips are likewise not lit up as Smokescreen bets it all.
  • As the smoke fills the arena and patrons grab at a pile of energon chips, the bulk of the chips appear black.
  • More black energon cubes as the Autobots start loading Astrotrain up. In the same shot, Astrotrain has a huge yellow panel that's not usually there.
• The lowering platform in Gyconi's room is left unanimated, making the Autobots appear to vanish directly into a paving stone.
• The bouncers roughing up Slizardo change in each shot they appear in. First they appear as white and red robots with ear antennas, then moments later they're purple robots with WWI German style helmets, then as they fall past Smokescreen, the animators split the difference, with one being the purple type and one being the white and red type.
• Devcon's head-gun is missing as he turns in response to Smokescreen's call.
• Dirge's cockpit is drawn flat - flush with his chassis - as he picks up the tickets from Gyconi's desk.
• When patrons grab energon chips out of Slizardo's hands, a number of chips are simply left hanging in mid-air in front of him.
• As Gyconi pushes the Autobots into Astrotrain, they stop moving forward; however, Optimus is still bobbing back and forth like he's walking.
• When Bosch advances on Gyconi, he walks forward, in front of Slizardo; but Slizardo's animation cell is still layered in front of him, resulting in him appearing much smaller than Bosch.
• As the Autobots prepare to depart for Casino Row, as soon as Inferno completes transformation to vehicle mode, Perceptor instantly appears alongside him in microscope mode.

Continuity errors

• In terms of airdates, this episode is definitely played out of order, as we've seen several of the characters that are still trying to escape from Aron's planet in 'Child's Play' on Earth prior to this one. The series on Netflix corrects this.
• How did the Autobots manage to fill the toy rocket ship with giant computer consoles and such?
• At any point after the 'temporary' paralyzing effects of Bosch's gun wears off, Smokescreen is given ample opportunities to simply force Bosch to free his friends. He is clearly more interested in this gambling trip than saving his friends... good thing for him that Prime was comatose when it all happened!
• Bosch says he's out of energon to run his ship, but he's still got enough power to shrink four Autobots, fly off to some asteroid, and unshrink the Autobots - seems like plenty of energy!
• Bosch is consistently shown to be about the same height as Smokescreen... yet somehow he rides inside Smokescreen's car mode.
• Both times Smokescreen shoots his smoke out, the Decepticons are shown coughing (even though, again, Transformers are robots and don't have real throats or lungs).
• In the closing scene, Bosch says he's restored his ship... but he's still on the asteroid, where he traveled by shuttle.

Trivia

• Charles Michael Hill originally wrote this story for Challenge of the GoBots, in what became the episode 'Gameworld'. But he disliked the interference and rewrites forced on him by story editors Jeff Segal and Kelly Ward and felt The Transformers was the perfect opportunity to get the story done right.^[1]
• This is one of the only two pre-movie episodes in which Megatron does not appear, the other being 'The God Gambit'. Both have Astrotrain and two Seekers in them.
• Before the Botcon comic, the overwhelming majority of the fandom spelled Devcon's name Defcon, which is closer to the pronunciation given in the episode and has a real world meaning. Many in the fandom were up in arms about the spelling; however, the comic spelling is based on the original script and is now considered the 'correct' spelling.
