Animated continuity
A space gambler named Bosch captures Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Perceptor, Inferno and Smokescreen and proceeds to brainwash them with a ray that erases their free will. Smokescreen escapes through a malfunction.

Upon discovering that Bosch is a gambler, Smokescreen bets that he can beat a slot machine that Bosch has created and Bosch accepts. Smokescreen uses a chord from his wrist to secretly zap the machine and rigs the machine so that he wins.

Bosch, seeing a chance to make some quick energon chips, makes a deal with Smokescreen to free the other Autobots if they make a killing on a gambling planet, Monicus. The pair uses the other Autobots as collateral in exchange for fifty energon chips at 500 percent interest from Lord Gyconi, an arena owner. The catch is that they have to return in an hour to reclaim the Autobots or they will belong to Gyconi.

After Smokescreen loses all the chips, he and Bosch return to Gyconi to discover that the Autobots have already been scheduled for a deathmatch with the "Animaliens." When Smokescreen leaves in a huff, Gyconi sends Slizardo to follow him.

While following Smokescreen and Bosch, Slizardo is attacked by two bouncers. He is inadvertently rescued by Devcon and swears undying loyalty to him. With the help of Devcon, Bosch, and Slizardo, Smokescreen is able to free his friends before they are taken back to Earth by Astrotrain and under Decepticon control. When Devcon rushes off to pursue the Decepticons he invites Slizardo to join him as a partner and Slizardo eagerly accepts.
