With Minerva incarcerated and Circuit passing away from his injuries, the Wreckers questioned whether they should go on. They tag-teamed the terrorists and knocked them out, but Minerva ended up being arrested under suspicion of attacking the First Senator. Mayhem made another strike at the ceremony, and Ricochet and Hot Shot got a rematch with Thunderblast and Slugslinger. Tread & Circuits Part 3ĭays later, the racers gathered at the Velocitronian Senate as the winner Knock Out was sworn in as the new First Senator. The remaining racers dragged themselves across the finish line, but even the arrival of Security Operations didn't stop Mayhem from escaping. He even had time to smile for the camera and flash the Wreckers' symbol before striking the terrorist.

Aileron gave Hot Shot a lift into the skies before dropping him back down on top of Slugslinger. Hot Shot took a hit, but the rest of the racers caught up, leading to an all-out melee. Hot Shot gave Ricochet a boost over the rubble, but they were targeted by Mayhem's Thunderblast and Slugslinger from the air. Mayhem attacked the race course, causing an avalanche which Drag Strip negotiated around. They found themselves neck-and-neck with the dirty trickster called Drag Strip. Thunder Clash gave Ricochet and Hot Shot permission to go all out in the race. Minerva took to watching over Circuit as the other Wreckers gathered at the starting line and the Speedia 500 began. Their recon was interrupted when the Wreckers' chronicler Circuit spotted Mayhem in the city, but was sniped and critically injured. Hot Shot kept an eye on Override, but concluded she was mostly harmless. Tread & Circuits Part 1īefore the race, the Wreckers did recon of the other competitors, suspicious that Mayhem may have an inside 'bot at the Speedia. Wreckers leader Thunder Clash brought the stunt show to Velocitron after that and entered the team in the race as a show of support for Velocitron (and to get close to the action to stop Mayhem). One of the Wreckers' broadcasts was interrupted by dissidents on Velocitron called Mayhem, who objected to the position of First Senator being picked by the outcome of the Speedia 500 race, and promised to disrupt it.

Ricochet and his partner Ricochet were the main talent in the act and they shared a competitive dynamic over which one was faster and better (both on and off camera). They were active among and between the Cybertronian colonies after the War of the Threefold Spark. Hot Shot was a member of the Wreckers, a covert operations team disguised as a traveling stunt show. Later, Rubble used him as a skateboard when the group met up with Arcee and Greenlight. Scootaloo befriended Hot Shot and his friends shortly after arriving on Cybertron.
