A follow-up to the previous Transformers episode "Child's Play," "The Gamblers" finds the Autobots still trapped on a planet of giants. Captured by an alien gambler, the Autobots are de-energized as part of their impoverished captor's plan to sell them to the highest bidder. It is up to Smokescreen to win back his friends' freedom by helping the gambler retrieve his lost bankroll -- while Decepticons Astrotrain, Dirge, and Ramjet work overtime to undermine Smokescreen's efforts. Written by Michael Charles Hill, "The Gamblers" debuted in America on November 11, 1985.
