When Whirl is given a task, she insists on doing it alone, discovering the hard way that there's no "I" in team

Blaming his teammates for a failed exerciese that made him miss a cube game on Cybertron, Hot Shot tackles a rescue alone to show off his solo skill-with disastrous results

Each recruit gets to train with the ultimate rescue tool, the TX3000, but Hot Shot has never used one before, and his reticence to admit his lack of experience almost botches a dangerous rescue.

Griffin Rock Lad Pioneer Wes wins a day at the Academy to spend with each the Recruits in turn. However, Wedge keeps avoiding spending time with him as unlike the other bots he doesn't think that a mere construction bot has anything to offer.

The bots are surprised to discover that their bit important off-planet mission is actually to save a single tiny plant

When a cute dog follows the recruits back from a mission, the recruits decide to keep him as a pet, despite Academy rules to the contrary. However, the dog didnt follow them because it needed a home, it was on its own rescue mission.

When Wedge rashly challenges HotShot to a one-on-one challenge, he worries that he doesn't have the skills to win.

When the team visit the local museum, they all think Whirl's gone into police overdrive--but just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there's no cat burglar.
