The Power of Dibs is a short.
Plot[]
Slipstream and Jetstorm learn about an ancient ritual.
Synopsis[]
Slipstream and Jetstorm are getting ready to watch a movie when Sideswipe informs Jetstorm that he already called "dibs" on his seat. Unfamiliar with the concept of "dibs", the Mini-Cons have Sideswipe explain it to them. They are quite impressed by the ritual, which Sideswipe assures them is most honorable.
Fixit then detects Backtrack and Ransack's signals, and informs the Bee Team of the situation. Slipstream calls "dibs" on capturing both of the Cyclones, by himself. Though Bumblebee is hesitant to allow the Mini-Con to engage the enemy on his own, Drift reluctantly approves of his student taking on such a daunting assignment.

Notes[]
Continuity notes[]
- Ransack and Backtrack's Alchemor prisoner file presents a mild continuity snarl. It shows the illusory Decepticon Optimus Prime faced in the Realm of the Primes in "Out of Focus", which sort of makes sense given the Decepticon launched illusory
Mini-Cons of the same model as Backtrack and Ransack. Said Decepticon's model would then go on to be used as the base for Overload, who would team up with the Cyclones in "Overloaded, Part 1"... but that episode implies Overload had never met the pair before then. So... is the pictured 'Con just a generic bodyform that often utilizes Cyclones? Or did Overload forget his old partners, which isn't that far-fetched?
