Synopsis[edit | edit source]
While battling on a rogue planet hurtling through space, the Guardians and Renegades attracted the attention of a super-intelligence known as Guerr-O-Vac. With Turbo and Cop-Tur left aboard the Command Center and Thruster, respectively, the rest of the Guardians and Renegades were abducted by Guerr-O-Vac and forced to fight in the Arena of Strife. During the one-on-one contests, Slicks beat Van Guard through speed and cunning, while Destroyer overcame Defendor with superior firepower. Meanwhile, Turbo continued dogfighting with Cop-Tur in their ships over the planet, forcing him to engage the Stealth Device. Eventually, Leader-1 appealed to Cy-Kill's ego and convinced him to fight back against being Guerr-O-Vac's puppet. Working together, the Guardians and Renegades tracked Guerr-O-Vac's true location using Scooter's energy readings, and the entity was revealed as an ancient supercomputer. Crasher obliterated Guerr-O-Vac with a seismic stomp, and the GoBots went their separate ways.
