Gyconi gave Smokescreen a steep energon loan and received 4 Autobots, in suspended animation, as the one-hour collateral. When Gyconi decided on the Autobots' fate, (he would match them in an arena-fight against the Animaniacs) before the hour was up, Slizardo protested and got knocked down for it.
Slizardo was roughed up in an energon bar by some bullies, but was saved by the Autobot Defcon, the galactic bounty hunter who worked best alone. Slizardo offered his eternal gratitude and loyalty for having saved his life, but Defcon didn't want it.
When Smokescreen couldn't pay up the loan, Gyconi proceeded with the Autobots-Animaniacs match. Gyconi and Slizardo fixed the fight by sabotaging the Autobots to return to suspended animation, after the second round. After the interupted fight, Slizardo ran to Defcon and Smokescreen, to inform them that Gyconi and the Decepticons (who had come to check on their servant) planned to leave Monicus, with the captive Autobots.
At the runway, Slizardo stopped Gyconi from loading the Autobots into Astrotrain, and showed that he was through taking orders from him. Smokescreen got the Autobots back, Lord Gyconi left Monicus with the Decepticons, and Defcon decided to hunt them down to bring them to justice for their crimes. Before taking off, Defcon transformed to a spacecraft and invited Slizardo to join him as his partner. Slizardo was shocked at first but recovered his wits to accept the great offer, and blasted off with Defcon.
