Ep 40. Friends in Need

Two circus performers who are scientists in disguise (Mikail and Leah) are taken to Professor Hart for help in completing their research on a fuel-increasing formula hidden on a micro-dot on a jewel in Leah's necklace. They are beset by Skugs on the way to the lab, and the scientists are kidnapped, but not before Leah puts her necklace around Jeb'S neck. Grimlord is furious that the formula has been passed on. Professor Hart is able to help the Troopers prepare a plan to find and free Leah and Mikail, while he analyzes the micro-dot. The Troopers transform. Ryan meets Horrorbot in a battle where his powers are weakened and he is caged. Following a high-speed pursuit, Kaitlin leads the scientists to safety while J.B. flattens Terminoid and General Ivar. Meanwhile, Ryan puts Horrorbot out of commission. Reunited at the Dojo, Leah gets her necklace back, along with Professor Hart's information.
