The episode "Roll for It" from the first season of Transformers follows the Autobots as they seek to stop the Decepticons from obtaining a powerful new metal called electrum. The episode opens with the Decepticons, led by the power-hungry Starscream, attacking a human military base in their quest for the elusive electrum.
The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, intervene to prevent the Decepticons from stealing the metal. However, the two sides are evenly matched and a fierce battle ensues. During the fight, the Autobots are able to retrieve a sample of the electrum and retreat underground.
Once safely underground, the Autobots are surprised to learn that their new ally, the small yet mighty Autobot called Bumblebee, has been secretly following them. Bumblebee is eager to help the Autobots in their mission, but is initially dismissed as being too small to be of any use.
Undeterred, Bumblebee sets out to prove his worth. He comes up with a risky plan to infiltrate the Decepticons' base and steal their supply of electrum before they can use it to gain the upper hand in the war.
The plan is successful, and the Autobots are able to obtain enough electrum to tip the scales in their favor. However, their victory is short-lived, as Starscream and his Decepticons attack once again.
In a thrilling climax, the Autobots and Decepticons engage in a final battle. The electrum gives the Autobots an additional boost of power, allowing them to overpower the Decepticons and emerge victorious.
The episode ends with the Autobots returning to their base, grateful for Bumblebee's contribution to their success.
