Challenge of the GoBots cartoon[]
The Space Corps shuttle Intrepid, manned by Matt Hunter, A.J. Foster and Nick Burns, was in orbit above Earth repairing the Argos communications satellite. The trio completed the maintenance work when the Renegades' Thruster appeared from hyperspace above them, destroying the satellite. However, General Newcastle and the rest of the NASA ground control failed to detect the craft, so Matt decided to follow it against orders. The Renegades led them into the desert, where Cop-Tur shot down the Intrepid. The three humans were able to escape and were chased down by Crasher and Cop-Tur until the timely arrival of the Guardians in the Command Center, with Leader-1 using his forcefield to hold off the Renegades. NASA dispatched a huge fleet of helicopters to find out what was happening and both groups of GoBots fled before they arrived. The trio were debriefed by Newcastle, who disbelieves their fantastical story - especially after Doctor Braxis pushes for their suspension - and grounds them. Later that night Leader-1 approaches the trio, asking for help in repairing the damaged Turbo - if they will help the Guardians find components to fix their comrade the Guardians will clear their name with NASA. Scooter and Nick head to a NASA warehouse to get the part they need, with the NASA gate guard making fun of the cadet's outlandish stories but making no attempt to investigate why the scooter he was riding has a face that talks to him. While there they overhear that Braxis is in fact working with the Renegades to conquer Earth. Template:Storylink
